Content

To revoke the Guildford Road AQMA Order, for
the section of Guildford Road where it meets Constitution Hill and
Mount Hermon Road.

Reasons for the decision

Levels of NO2 on Guildford Road, which was
designated an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in May 2017, have
reduced significantly over time. Measured concentrations at
Guildford Road have been compliant with the National Air Quality
Objectives (AQO) consistently over the last five years, since 2020.
As per Government guidance, and the guidelines stated in the AQAP
for Guildford Road, the designation of an AQMA should be revoked
following three consecutive years of compliance with the AQO.
