The Council monitors the air quality in our district to ensure that it meets or exceeds DEFRA Air Quality Objectives
We also protect local air quality by acting as a consultee on planning applications and overseeing environmental permitting to control pollution from certain industrial processes.
We are a member of the Sussex Air Quality Partnership which promotes improvements in air quality across Sussex.
As a member of Sussex Air, we support their Air Alert service, which sends free messages to users informing that poor air quality is predicted in their area of Sussex.
