Air Pollution Assessment Service will for the first time enable:
•Focus on high-risk applications by optimising resources required by regulators and planning authorities.
•In-combination assessments to be done quickly and consistently through a registry to collect UK applications.
•Spatial data about ammonia sources to be captured and tracked in the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory
•Modelling of strategic approaches to species or habitat recovery affected by air pollution.
UK APAS is an online Air Pollution calculation tool to provide evidence to be used in planning decisions, environmental permitting, and local plans.
Its aim is to provide an air quality modelling service that will offer a consistent approach by providing detailed modelling for ecosystem assessment and facilitates “in-combination” assessments across all key emission source types by storing development records in an archive.
Ultimately, the tool provides better protection for nature by making information on habitats, their vulnerability and local emission levels clearer and more accessible.
