Air Quality Action Plan 2027 - 2032
Topic 2. Emissions from developments and buildings
Emissions from buildings and development (e.g., from gas boilers, construction, commercial cooking, and wood burners) account for about 30% of NOx emissions, and 38% of the PM2.5 emissions in Kingston and therefore are important in reducing pollutant concentrations.
The Air Quality Action Plan 2027-2032 proposes the following actions within this topic:
| 3. Minimise dust & smoke from construction sites |
| 4. Enforce construction machinery rules |
| 5. Reduce emissions from heating systems |
| 6. Enforce "air quality neutral" rules |
| 7. Add green space to developments |
| 8. Educate residents on the rules surrounding solid fuel and wood-burning stoves |
| 9. Investigate any complaints of smoke within Smoke Control Zones |
| 10. Design healthy & clean neighbourhoods |
| 11. Make homes & public buildings energy efficient |
Find more detail on these actions on pages 30 - 33 of the consultation document.
