Issue - decisions

Resolved:

                      i.         Review and noted the comments received in relation to the AQAP4 consultation (see Annex C);

                     ii.         Approved the amendments to the draft AQAP4 and responses made by officers in response to consultation feedback (outlined in this report and in Annex C)

                    iii.        Agreed to formerly adopt the amended AQAP4 circulated with this report as CYC’s Fourth Air Quality Action Plan (Annex A) and submit a final version of the document to DEFRA.

Reason:     Adoption of AQAP4 will allow CYC to fulfil its statutory

duties required by the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) framework under the Environment Act 1995 (as amended). It will ensure that York continues to have a robust, current and relevant Air Quality Action Plan to deliver emission reduction and health improvement benefits over the next 5-year period.
