2012 Air QualityUpdating and ScreeningAssessment:Bromsgrove DistrictCouncilJune 2012

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening AssessmentExecutive SummaryThis report fulfils the requirements of the Local Air Quality Management process as set out inPart IV of the Environment Act (1995), the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Walesand Northern Ireland 2007 and the relevant Policy and Technical Guidance documents.This document is Bromsgrove District Council’s fifth round Updating and ScreeningAssessment. Results from monitoring by the Council are presented and sources of airpollution are identified. The USA determines those changes since the last assessment, whichcould lead to the risk of an air quality objective being exceeded.Little has changed in terms of sources of emissions in Bromsgrove District since the fourthround USA was undertaken in 2009. This assessment therefore concludes that a DetailedAssessment for air quality within Bromsgrove District is not necessary for any pollutant.J946 1 of 43 June 2012

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening Assessment1.4. Summary of Previous Review and AssessmentsBromsgrove District Council undertook the first round of review and assessment of air qualitybetween 1998 and 2002. The first round assessments resulted in the declaration of an AirQuality Management Area (AQMA) as a result of predicted exceedences of the annual meanobjective for nitrogen dioxide at Lickey End, due to road traffic emissions from the M42 atJunction 1.The second round of review and assessment commenced with the 2003 Updating andScreening Assessment (USA). This report concluded that a Detailed Assessment would berequired for nitrogen dioxide due to road traffic emissions from the A38 Redditch Road (AstonRoad Industrial Estate), the A456/A491 at Hagley, and the A38 Marlbrook Crossroads. TheDetailed Assessment concluded that the declaration of further AQMAs was not required.The third round of review and assessment commenced with the 2006 USA. This reportconcluded that a Detailed Assessment was required for nitrogen dioxide due to measuredexceedences of the annual mean objective at the nearest receptors to two diffusion tubemonitoring locations on Redditch Road, Stoke Heath and Kidderminster Road, Hagley.Triplicate diffusion tube monitoring was introduced in these locations. The DetailedAssessment 2007 concluded that the annual mean objective for nitrogen dioxide was likely tobe exceeded at Redditch Road, Stoke Heath. As a consequence Bromsgrove District Councilinstalled a continuous monitor at Redditch Road in March 2008, for a six-month period.In 2009, Bromsgrove District Council completed a Detailed Assessment which coveredRedditch Road and Kidderminster Road, Hagley, as well as a number of areas in Bromsgrovetown centre, where measured exceedences were identified in the 2008 Progress Report.As a result of the 2009 Detailed Assessment two AQMAs were declared for KidderminsterRoad, Hagley and Redditch Road, Stoke Heath, effective as of the 17 th of February 2010 forexceedences of the nitrogen dioxide annual mean objective. In addition, a continuousmonitoring site was installed at Worcester Road and a detailed traffic survey withinBromsgrove town centre was undertaken.In July 2010, Bromsgrove District Council completed a Detailed Assessment for nitrogendioxide at Worcester Road, following 12 months of continuous monitoring which identified thepotential for exceedences of the annual mean objective. The Detailed Assessment concludedthat an AQMA should be declared on Worcester Road.The 2011 Progress Report concluded that there remained widespread exceedences of theannual mean nitrogen dioxide objective, although there were no exceedences of the 1-hourmean objective. All exceedences were in existing AQMAs or the Worcester Road AQMA inBromsgrove, which was declared in October 2011.Maps showing the extent of Bromsgrove District’s AQMAs are shown in Figure 1.1 to Figure1.4.J946 6 of 43 June 2012

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening Assessment2.1.2. Non-Automatic Monitoring SitesBromsgrove District Council also monitors annual mean nitrogen dioxide concentrations using45 passive diffusion tubes at 37 sites located across its administrative area. The locations ofthe diffusion tubes are described in Table 2.2 and shown in Figure 2.2 to Figure 2.6. Since the2011 Progress Report two new diffusion tube sites have been added within the District, atRubery Church (site BG2) and 84 Waterside Orchard, Hopwood (site BFR). Tube BFR hasrecently been decommissioned.Figure 2.2:Map of Non-Automatic Monitoring Sites in Hagley© Crown copyright 2011. All rights reserved, Bromsgrove DC.

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening Assessment2.2. Comparison of Monitoring Results with AQ Objectives2.2.1. Nitrogen Dioxide2.2.2. Automatic Monitoring DataTable 2.3 and Figure 2.7 show the annual mean nitrogen dioxide concentrations measured atthe Lickey End roadside automatic monitoring station in 2011, together with trends for the pastfew years. The annual mean is again well above the objective, although is below 60 g/m 3 ,indicating the hourly mean objective is unlikely to have been exceeded. This is proved by thehourly mean nitrogen dioxide concentration data in Table 2.4, which indicates that there were15 exceedences of the 200 g/m 3 level, below the objective of 18 exceedences. Figure 2.7shows that concentrations have remained stable over the past five years.Site IDTable 2.3: Results of Automatic Monitoring of Nitrogen Dioxide: Comparison withAnnual Mean Objective (2009 – 2011)Site TypeWithinAQMA?Valid Data Capturefor period ofmonitoring % aValid DataCapture 2011 %bAnnual MeanConcentration g/m 32009 2010 2011Lickey End Roadside Y 99.7 99.7 54 53 55.1Objective 40a i.e. data capture for the monitoring period, in cases where monitoring was only carried out for part ofthe year.b i.e. data capture for the full calendar year (e.g. if monitoring was carried out for six months themaximum data capture for the full calendar year would be 50%.)J946 19 of 43 June 2012

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening Assessment3 Road Traffic Sources3.1. Narrow Congested Streets with Residential Properties Close to the KerbThe criteria for assessing narrow congested streets are set out in Box 5.3, section A1 of TG(09).Narrow congested streets were considered in previous Updating and Screening Assessments andStoke Rd, Aston Fields was identified as a potential location. Diffusion tube SR at 2 Stoke Roadwas deployed in July 2009. Annual mean nitrogen dioxide has been well below the objective forthe last 3 years. No further locations have been identified.Bromsgrove District Council confirms that there are no new/newly identified congestedstreets with a flow above 5,000 vehicles per day and residential properties close to the kerb,that have not been adequately considered in previous rounds of Review and Assessment.3.2.

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening Assessment8 Conclusions and Proposed Actions8.1. Conclusions from New Monitoring DataBromsgrove District Council has examined the results from monitoring in the district.Concentrations outside of the AQMA are all below the objectives at relevant locations, thereforethere is no need to proceed to a Detailed Assessment. Bromsgrove District Council haveimplemented some changes to the diffusion tube network, and changed diffusion tube supplier (toESG) in March 2012. These changes will be reported in more detail in the 2013 Progress Report.8.2. Conclusions from Assessment of SourcesThe Updating and Screening Assessment has not identified any significant changes in emissionssources within the Bromsgrove district area. There have been no new relevant industrialinstallations and no new or substantially altered roads within Bromsgrove District area. There arealso no new significant commercial, domestic or fugitive sources of emissions.In the previous Progress Report, two new developments were identified:1. A new Sainsbury’s Superstore on Birmingham Road; and2. A large residential development at St Godwalds Road, Aston Fields.Both have now been granted planning permission, although have not yet commenced construction.The Sainsbury’s application was subject to an air quality assessment and it has been agreed that6-months of continuous nitrogen dioxide monitoring on Birmingham Road will be funded through aplanning consent.The St Godwalds Road residential scheme has also been subject to an air quality assessmentwhich demonstrated that the development would have a negligible impact on air quality. Section106 money has been negotiated to fund tree planting within the Redditch Road AQMA.8.3. Proposed ActionsA Progress Report will be submitted in 2013.J946 36 of 43 June 2012

Bromsgrove District Council Updating and Screening AssessmentA1 Appendix A: QA:QC DataFactor from Local Co-location StudiesDiffusion tubes used by Bromsgrove District Council are supplied and analysed by Gradko utilisingthe 20% Triethanolamine (TEA) in water preparation method. The national bias adjustment factor,for diffusion tubes from this lab, with this preparation is 0.89 for 2011 (based on 26 studies,spreadsheet version 03/12).Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment FactorsDiffusion tubes have been co-located, in triplicate, with the continuous monitor at Lickey End andthe data have been used to establish the bias of the diffusion tubes compared to the continuousmonitoring data. The local bias adjustment factor is 0.94, which is also included in the nationalSpreadsheet.Table A1.1: Local Bias Adjustment Factor at Lickey End, 2011Triplicate DiffusionTubesLickey EndAutomatic Monitor 53Bias AdjustmentFactor560.94Discussion of Choice of Factor to UseThe local bias adjustment factor has been used as being slightly more worst-case, and consistentwith previous Review and Assessment work undertaken by Bromsgrove District Council.Short-term to Long-term Data adjustmentThere are two diffusion tube sites in Bromsgrove district, for which there is low data capture in2011 (
