SP09 Sustainable Transport SP10 Development and Flood Risk 0 0 Cumulative Effects Assessment 9.97 Receptor ER05 – Air Quality is one of the most likely receptors to be potentially impacted from a number of sources cumulatively. Analysis suggests that this receptor is as with ER06 – Climate Change the most sensitive to effects arising from the following impact pathways as detailed in Table 64 – ER05 CEA. This incorporates the potential impact on this receptor of atmospheric pollutants and their ability to affect Air Quality. Analysis presented in Appendix 12 indicates that there are a number of feedbacks from ER05 – Air Quality most notably to Page | 134 Runnymede BC FINAL Sustainability Appraisal Report – Feb 2013
and from ER06 Climate change. Synergistic cross‐boundary appears to represent the principle type of cumulative effect on this receptor. Table 64 – ER05 CEA ER Group IP/MfE Type of CE Additive or Synergistic ER01 – Natural NEB2: Air Quality Cross‐boundary Synergistic Environment and Biodiversity NEB3: Water Quality Cross‐boundary Additive ER05 – Air Quality ER06 – Climate Change AQ1: Transport Emissions Cross‐boundary Synergistic AQ2: Construction Emissions Cross‐boundary Synergistic AQ3: Energy Emissions Cross‐boundary Synergistic CC1: Emissions from traffic Cross‐boundary Synergistic CC2: Emissions from residential and commercial developments Cross‐boundary Synergistic 9.98 Table 65 mirrors the conclusions of ER06 Climate Change suggesting that overall the Local plan potentially results in a considerably negative cumulative effect on this receptor as a result of policies LP01, LP02 LP04, LP05 and LP08. These location policies promote the increase in numbers that will potentially add to the pressure placed on a receptor that is already stressed. In the strategic policy range, no policy appears to result in a negative cumulative effect. Policy SP09 appears to have a potentially positive effect on this receptor. 9.99 All policies would appear to have the capacity to act across‐boundaries in terms of airshed. 9.100 As stated in paragraph 5.102 above given the spatial extent of the areas of influence over which the identified potential cumulative effects could originate from, it is not considered appropriate for the CEA to go any further. To do so would be to place a disproportionate burden on the Council.

New development gives rise to emissions from the new buildings and the transport movements related to the development. Emissions from buildings can be minimised by using low energy design strategies, energy efficiency measures and zero emissions heating technologies. To mitigate traffic emissions, new development can encourage the use of low emission fuels and technologies. 9.102 Currently, however, the Council does not have policies specifically addressing air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions (‘Renewable Energy’ Interim Advice Note (2010) includes the Page | 135 Runnymede BC FINAL Sustainability Appraisal Report – Feb 2013
