2004, Rudall Blanchard Associates, Ormonde, Atmospheric Emission Modelling

Atmospheric emissions from the GTP have been modelled using ADMS3 model (developed by CERC) as it is recognised across industry and by Government bodies, such as DEFRA and DTI, as being appropriate for the purposes of environmental impact studies. Environmental Statement Appendix 17. The study concluded that most potential impacts fall within regulatory standards, with PPC permit requirements to be addressed separately. Key takeaways emphasise the importance of robust modelling, proper assessment against UK air quality regulations, and careful exclusion of non-emitted pollutants; recommendations include ongoing monitoring and compliance with regulatory frameworks in future permitting processes.
