Air quality is a major issue in the UK. In March this year the UK was found guilty by the European Court of Justice of ‘systematically and persistently’ breaching air pollution limits and recent events, such as a coroner finding that a child died of air pollution exposure, emphasise the need for the government to take action. The Environment Bill promises what the government calls a ‘more tailored approach’ to air quality, although precisely what measures will be implemented and when (the Bill has been delayed multiple times) is far from certain.
This webinar discusses the current statutory framework for the regulation of air quality and how this is likely to evolve.
Presenters for this webinar will be Ben Standing and Laura Hughes, partners in Browne Jacobson’s environment team.
