1 Introduction

1.1 This document

This document is the West Midlands non-agglomeration zone (UK0035) updated air quality plan for theachievement of the EU air quality limit values for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). This is an update to the air qualityplan published in September 2011 (http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/library/no2ten/).

This plan presents the following information:

• General information regarding the West Midlands non-agglomeration zone• Details of the NO2 exceedance situation within the West Midlands non-agglomeration zone• Details of local air quality measures that have been implemented, will be implemented or are beingconsidered for implementation in this non-agglomeration zone

This air quality plan for the West Midlands non-agglomeration zone should be read in conjunction with theseparate UK overview document and the list of UK and national measures. The UK overview document setsout, amongst other things, the authorities responsible for delivering air quality improvements and the list of UKand national measures that are applied in some or all UK zones. The measures presented in this zone plan, theaccompanying UK overview document and the list of UK and national measures show how the UK will ensurethat compliance with the NO2 limit values is achieved in the shortest possible time.

This plan should also be read in conjunction with the supporting UK Technical Report which presents informationon assessment methods, input data and emissions inventories used in the analysis presented in this plan.

1.2 Context

Two NO2 limit values for the protection of human health have been set in the Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC).These are:

• The annual mean limit value: an annual mean concentration of no more than 40 µgm-3

• The hourly limit value: no more than 18 exceedances of 200 µgm-3 in a calendar year

The Air Quality Directive stipulates that compliance with the NO2 limit values will be achieved by 01/01/2010.

1.3 Zone status

The assessment undertaken for theWest Midlands non-agglomeration zone indicates that the annual limit valuewas exceeded in 2013 but is likely to be achieved before 2020 through the introduction of measures includedin the baseline.

1.4 Plan structure

General administrative information regarding this non-agglomeration zone is presented in section 2.

Section 3 then presents the overall picture with respect to NO2 levels in this non-agglomeration zone for the2013 reference year of this air quality plan. This includes a declaration of exceedance situations within thenon-agglomeration zone and presentation of a detailed source apportionment for each exceedance situation.

An overview of the measures already taken and to be taken within the non-agglomeration zone both before andafter 2013 is given in section 4.

Baseline modelled projections for 2020, 2025 and 2030 for each exceedance situation are presented in section5. The baseline projections presented here include, where possible, the impact of measures that have alreadybeen taken and measures for which the relevant authority has made a firm commitment to implement. However,it has not been possible to quantify the impact of all the measures. This section therefore also explains whichmeasures have been quantified, and hence included in the model projections, and which measures have notbeen quantified.

2.3 Reporting under European Directives

From 2001 to 2012 the UK has reported annually on air quality concentrations using a standard Excelquestionnaire (Decision 2004/461/EC). These questionnaires are available online from http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/gb/eu/annualair. Since 2013 reporting has been via an e-reporting system (Decision 2011/850/EU)http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/gb/eu/.

In addition, the UK has reported on air quality plans and programmes (Decision 2004/224/EC) since 2003.Historic plans and programmes are available on http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/gb/eu/aqpp.

3 Overall Picture for 2013 Reference Year

3.1 Introduction

There are two limit values for the protection of health for NO2. These are:

• The annual limit value (annual mean concentration of no more than 40 µgm-3)• The hourly limit value (no more than 18 hourly exceedances of 200 µgm-3 in a calendar year)

Within the West Midlands non-agglomeration zone the annual limit value was exceeded in 2013. Hence, oneexceedance situation for this zone has been defined, NO2_UK0035_Annual_1, which covers exceedances ofthe annual limit value. This exceedance situation is described below.

3.2 Reference year: NO2_UK0035_Annual_1

The NO2_UK0035_Annual_1 exceedance situation covers all exceedances of the annual mean limit value inthe West Midlands non-agglomeration zone in 2013.

Compliance with the annual limit value in this exceedance situation has been assessed using a combinationof air quality measurements and modelling. Table 1 presents measured annual concentrations at nationalnetwork stations in this exceedance situation since the 1st Daughter Directive (1999/30/EC) came into forcein 2001. This shows that there were no measured exceedances of the annual limit value in this zone in 2013.Table 2 summarises modelled annual mean NO2 concentrations in this exceedance situation for the same timeperiod. This table shows that, in 2013, 43.3 km of road length was modelled to exceed the annual limit value.There were nomodelled background exceedances of the annual limit value. Maps showing the modelled annualmean NO2 concentrations for 2013 at background and at roadside locations are presented in Figures 4 and 5respectively. All modelled exceedances of the annual limit value are coloured orange or red in the maps.

The maximummeasured concentration in the zone varies due to changes in emissions and varying meteorologyin different years. However, the models are also updated each year to take into account the most up-to-datescience, so the modelled results for different years may not be directly comparable.

The modelling carried out for this exceedance situation has also been used to determine the annual mean NOxsource apportionment for all modelled locations. Emissions to air are regulated in terms of oxides of nitrogen(NOx), which is the term used to describe the sum of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO). AmbientNO2 concentrations include contributions from both directly emitted primary NO2 and secondary NO2 formedin the atmosphere by the oxidation of NO. As such, it is not possible to calculate an unambiguous sourceapportionment specifically for NO2 concentrations; therefore the source apportionment in this plan is presentedfor NOx, rather than for NO2 (for further details please see the UK Technical Report). Table 3 summarises the

modelled NOx source apportionment for the section of road with the highest modelled NO2 concentration in thisexceedance situation in 2013. This is important information because it shows which sources need to be tackledat the location with the largest compliance gap in the exceedance situation.

Figure B.1 in Annex B presents the annual mean NOx source apportionment for each section of road within theNO2_UK0035_Annual_1 exceedance situation (i.e. the source apportionment for all exceeding roads only) in2013. In this figure roads have been grouped into motorways, primary roads (major roads managed by localauthorities) and trunk roads (major roads managed by highways authorities).

4 Measures

4.1 Introduction

This section gives details of measures that address exceedances of the NO2 limit values within West Midlandsnon-agglomeration zone. This includes both measures that have already been taken and measures for whichthere is a firm commitment that they will be taken.

Section 5 then explains the extent to which it has been possible to incorporate the impacts of these measuresinto the baseline modelling carried out for this assessment.

4.2 Source apportionment

It is important to understand which sources are responsible for causing the exceedance in order to mosteffectively tailor measures to address the NO2 exceedance situation described in section 3 above. This can beachieved by considering the source apportionment for the exceedance situation, also presented in section 3. Asummary of what the source apportionment shows and the implications for which measures would therefore beappropriate is given here.

Local road traffic was the dominant source in this exceedance location in the reference year. The largestcontribution was from cars at the location of maximum exceedance with a contribution of 46.3 µgm-3 of NOxout of a total of 161.7 µgm-3 of NOx. Cars, articulated HGVs, rigid HGVs and LGVs were important sourceson the motorway roads with the highest concentrations in this exceedance situation. Cars, articulated HGVs,rigid HGVs, LGVs and on some roads buses were important sources on the primary roads with the highestconcentrations. Cars, articulated HGVs and rigid HGVs were important sources on the trunk roads with thehighest concentrations. For all road links concentrations of NOx from diesel cars were approximately four timesgreater than NOx emissions from petrol cars. NOx concentrations from petrol LGVs are a small component oftotal NOx concentrations and less than 2% of total NOx from LGVs.

This indicates that appropriate measures should impact on local road traffic sources in this zone. Othermeasures to address the urban background sources may also be beneficial.

4.3 Measures

Measures potentially affecting NO2 in this non-agglomeration zone have been taken and/or are planned at arange of administrative levels. These are:

• European Union• National (i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or whole UK)• Local (i.e. UK Local Authorities)

Details of European Union measures (e.g. Euro Standards, Fuel Quality Directives, Integrated PollutionPrevention and Control) can be found on the European Commission’s website (http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/index_en.htm). Details of national measures are given in the UK overview document and the list of UK andnational measures.

Relevant Local Authority measures within this exceedance situation are listed in Table C.1 (see Annex C). TableC.1 lists measures which a local authority has carried out or is in the process of carrying out, plus additional

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/index_en.htm

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/index_en.htm

measures which the local authority is committed to carrying out or is investigating with the expectation of carryingout in the future.

There are common themes throughout the non-agglomeration zone on the type of measures identified by localauthorities to achieve improved air quality. The main themes focus on improving emissions and concentrationsof pollutants by encouraging transport modal shift from using private cars to more sustainable methods oftransport such as cycling and walking. There are some low emission strategies in place so that the vehicle fleetcan be transformed into using greener fuels and technology.

Park and rides will also help to improve air quality as it will reduce car use as will improvements to bus emissionsthrough fleet renewal. This will involve transformation to using electric vehicles.

4.4 Measures timescales

Timescales for national measures are given in the UK overview document and list of UK and national measures.

Local Authorities report on progress with the implementation of their action plans annually and review actionplan measures regularly. Information on local measures was collected in February/March 2015. Hence, anyLocal Authority action plans and measures adopted by Local Authorities after this time have not been includedin this air quality plan, unless additional information was provided during the consultation process.

The reference year for this air quality plan is 2013. Where measures started and finished before 2013, then theimprovement in air quality resulting from these measures will have already taken place before the referenceyear and the impact of these measures will have been included in the assessment where the measure has hadan impact on the statistics used to compile the emission inventory. Many measures started before the referenceyear and will continue to have a beneficial impact on air quality well beyond the reference year. Measures with astart date before 2013 and an end date after 2013 may have an impact on concentrations in the reference yearand a further impact in subsequent years. Where the Status column in Annex C is ‘Implementation’, this showsthat this measure is already underway or that there is a commitment for this measure to go ahead. Where theStatus is ‘Planning’, ‘Preparation’ or ‘Other’ the level of commitment is less clear and it is possible some of thesemeasures may not go ahead.

5 Baseline Model Projections

5.1 Overview of model projections

Model projections for 2020, 2025 and 2030, starting from the 2013 reference year described in section 3, havebeen calculated in order to determine when compliance with the NO2 limit values is likely to be achieved onthe basis of EU, regional and local measures currently planned. Details of the methods used for the baselineemissions and projections modelling are provided in the UK technical report.

For national measures, it has not been possible to quantify the impact of all measures on emissions and ambientconcentrations. The impact for all quantifiable measures has been included in the baseline projections.

The impacts of the individual Local Authority measures have not been explicitly included in the baseline modelprojections. However, measures may have been included implicitly if they have influenced the traffic countsfor 2012 (used as a basis for the compilation of the emission inventory) or in the traffic activity projections to2020 and beyond (used to calculate the emissions projections). It should be recognised that these measureswill have a beneficial impact on air quality, even if it has not been possible to quantify this impact here.

5.2 Baseline projections: NO2_UK0035_Annual_1

Table 4 presents summary results for the baseline model projections for 2020, 2025 and 2030 for theNO2_UK0035_Annual_1 exceedance situation. This shows that the maximum modelled annual mean NO2

concentration predicted for 2020 in this exceedance situation is 39 µgm-3. Hence, the model results suggestthat compliance with the NO2 annual limit value is likely to be achieved before 2020 under baseline conditionsin this exceedance situation.

Figures 6 and 7 show maps of projected annual mean NO2 concentrations in 2020, 2025 and 2030 forbackground and roadside locations respectively. Maps for 2013 are also presented here for reference.

It should be noted that the baseline projections presented here include the impacts of some measures, wherethey can be quantified, that have already been or will be implemented.

Rugby Borough Council_21 Planning Development and PlanningApplications

Air quality assessments have beenrequested for land use planningdevelopments that meet AQMAthresholds in the Rugby BoroughLocal Plan (July 2006. Therequirements for future assessmentshave now been embodied in a newPlanning Obligations SupplementaryPlanning Document adopted inMarch 2012. This is to ensure thatnew development does not result in asignificant increase in the productionof air pollutants and thatopportunities are taken to improve airquality, where possible. In someinstances where an AQMA thresholdhas not been met, officerdiscretionary measures have beenutilised where it is felt that aproposed land use development haspotential to impact on air quality andshould be a material consideration.

Shropshire Council_8 Idling campaign Shrewsbury Town Centre roadnetwork within the river Severn loopis controlled at most major junctionsby traffic signals. The signals havehad significant upgrades in recentyears and remaining signals arescheduled for improvements (seeintervention numbers 2.3, 3 and 5.2above). However, there will still be abuild up of traffic at signals due to theweight of traffic at peak travel times.By introducing a behavioural changeintervention targeting general roadusers it is expected that pollutants inthe town centre could be reduced. Asecond phase to this is to encourageno idling by buses at the bas depotwhich is in the centre of a congestedarea. The final phase is to discussno idling by trains at the train stationwhich is also situated in an area ofpoor air quality. Each phase will runconcurrently. Anti-idling enforcementwill be considered where applicablehowever not an essential part of theintervention. This project will look atthe possibility of a social mediacampaign, school talks anddiscussions, signage, leafletting andany other options identified throughthe planning stage. A campaigncalled Turn-it-off in Canada noted a32% reduction in number of vehiclesidling and an overall with a 73%reduction in idling time noted byvehicles which turned off theirengines. Noise reduction would bean added potential benefit if thisscheme is successful.
