Dust Management Plans in London
Need an Air Quality and Dust Management Plan for a London construction project? Freshbreeze Environmental Ltd prepares site specific dust risk assessments and AQDMPs for demolition, earthworks and construction. Send your planning condition, site plan and programme so we can confirm the work required.
Call 0121 827 2737 or email info@freshbreezeeltd.co.uk. Scope, fee and programme agreed before appointment.
An AQDMP built around your site and planning condition
A dust management plan explains how construction dust will be controlled, who is responsible and how performance will be checked. For a London site, the assessment needs to reflect its activities, surroundings and the relevant borough requirements. A plan for a constrained site beside homes or a school needs different detail from one with more separation from neighbours.
We review your decision notice and the exact condition wording before agreeing the scope. If the condition requires approval before demolition or another stage of work, allow time for preparation and the council review. The planning authority determines whether the submitted information is acceptable.
We check the relevant borough requirements and the wording of your planning condition alongside the Greater London Authority guidance and supporting practice note and the current published IAQM construction dust guidance. The required submission and approval stage are specific to the permission.
What your dust management plan can cover
- Site and works: the location, demolition, earthworks, construction activities, material handling and vehicle movements.
- Sensitive locations: nearby homes, schools, care settings, workplaces and ecological receptors where relevant.
- Dust risk assessment: the scale of emissions and the sensitivity of the surroundings for each relevant phase.
- Practical controls: suppression, screening, covered loads, storage, housekeeping, haul routes and trackout controls selected for the activities.
- Responsibilities and records: site inspections, complaints, corrective action and the records the contractor needs to maintain.
- Monitoring requirements: whether instruments are needed, the question they will answer and the basis for an appropriate monitoring scheme.
The final contents depend on the project. We can provide the air quality and dust input to a wider CEMP or Construction Management Plan where this is included in the agreed scope.
Do you also need construction dust monitoring?
A written plan and an operational monitoring service do different jobs. The plan sets out controls and responsibilities. Monitoring provides evidence of conditions during the works and can help the site team review those controls. Not every site needs the same number or type of monitors.
Where your condition or risk assessment calls for monitoring, see our construction dust monitoring service in London. We can review the assessment, monitoring specification and reporting requirements together so that the quotation covers the relevant work.
London coverage and the information we need
Freshbreeze is based in Birmingham and supports London projects, including sites in Camden, Westminster, Hammersmith and Fulham, Southwark, Lambeth and other boroughs. We check the requirements for the actual site rather than assuming every London authority uses the same template.
Please send:
- The site address, postcode, borough and planning reference.
- The decision notice, condition wording or environmental health comments.
- A site layout and a brief description of the existing and proposed development.
- The demolition and construction programme, working hours and submission deadline.
- Any existing air quality, dust or construction management documents.
Send what you already have. We will identify missing information and confirm the proposed scope and programme in writing.
Dust management plan questions
Is an AQDMP the same as a CEMP or CMP?
An AQDMP focuses on air quality and construction dust. A CEMP or CMP can cover a wider range of construction effects and logistics. Dust information may sit within a wider plan, but the condition wording and borough requirements determine the format needed.
Can you prepare a plan for a small or constrained site?
Yes. Send the plans, works and planning requirements. The level of assessment and mitigation should be proportionate to the project and its surroundings.
How much does a London dust management plan cost?
The fee depends on the information available, site complexity and required assessment and monitoring content. We provide a written quotation that identifies the deliverables and exclusions.
How quickly can you prepare the report?
Send your deadline when you enquire. We confirm availability and a realistic programme after reviewing the scope and required information. Council review time is separate from report preparation.
Will the plan discharge my planning condition?
We prepare the agreed evidence to support a submission. The local planning authority decides whether it satisfies the condition and whether further information is required.
