The most significant air quality impacts
will arise due to construction activities of excavation, earthmoving,
site haulage and mobile plant. There will be a minor reduction
in impact above the currently approved scheme as a result of reduced
excavation and reduced mobile plant movements. Effective mitigation
is practical and possible, minimised generation of dust will be
aimed for, as part of the environmental management plan - impacts
will remain at an acceptable level. A significant part of the
excavation work has been carried under the current planning permission
and negligible impact has occurred as a result of dust emission.
