Where a local authority considers that one or more of the air quality objectives, as prescribed in regulations, is unlikely to be met within the relevant period, it must declare an air quality management area. It must then draw up an action plan setting out the measures it intends to take to meet the objectives and including a timetable for their implementation. Section 84(1) of the Environment Act 1995 requires authorities to undertake a further assessment of existing and likely future air quality in a designated air quality management area.\nAlthough there was no statutory deadline, local authorities in Wales were expected to have completed their initial review and assessment by December 1999. They are currently being consulted to ascertain how many have met this deadline. In the light of these findings consideration may be given to extending the deadline to June 2000 as has been done in England. Local authorities are expected to produce a final draft review and assessment report which should indicate whether or not they propose to designate an air quality management area. Under the 1995 Act local authorities are required to send the draft review to a number of bodies including the National Assembly, for consultation. The National Assembly has reserve powers to require local authorities to take action where they are failing to make sufficient progress.\nBVPI 82a\nTotal tonnage of household waste arisings – percentage recycled.\n“Recycled” means, household waste materials which have been collected and separated from municipal waste with subsequent processing to produce marketable products.
