Sevenoaks District Council Air Quality Action Plan Consultation
24th February 2022
Air quality in the Sevenoaks District has improved in recent years. Sevenoaks District Council want to build on these successes by introducing a new plan to reduce air pollution further.
We are publishing an updated version of the Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) which outlines the actions we will take with our partners to improve air quality in the Sevenoaks District between 2022 and 2027.
We are asking residents, businesses and other partners to read the draft plan and let us know their thoughts on what should be prioritised and what could be added to the plan.
The draft plan and survey will be made available from 9am on Thursday 24 February until midnight on Thursday 24 March 2022.
We have created an easy read version or, if you wish you can access the full document. To view the documents and consultation, visit www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/airquality
The consultation will ask you for your details so we can keep you informed of the progress of the Action Plan but none of your personal information will be published.
