IAQM & IES Response: Environmental Audit Committee Air Pollution Inquiry
At the start of 2026, the Environmental Audit Committee opened an inquiry into Air Pollution in England. This followed a successful pitch by the IAQM, IES and other organisations to its Environment in Focus call for inquiry topics.
The IAQM and the IES have both submitted responses, based on the views and insights of our members.
The IAQM submission focuses mainly on the role of the land-use planning system in improving air quality, drawing on the experience of IAQM Members. The IES response offers a wider perspective, including the inadequacy of national targets and objectives, and the link between national policy and local action.
