Air Quality Assessment
Advice relating to a planning application for a 156 room student accommodation with 5,000m2 of retail space on the ground floor and two large external student courtyards.
The site on London Road is located in the centre of Brighton in an Air Quality Management Area.
The air quality technical team therefore worked with the design team to ensure air quality mitigation was embedded into the design.
Measures included siting student accommodation from the first-floor and above, away from bus emissions; the introduction of enclosed courtyards at the rear where air quality is better.
The approach was positively received by Brighton and Hove City Council and planning permission was granted.
