New IAQM publication: Guidance on the assessment of odour for planning
The IAQM has published new Guidance on the assessment of odour for planning.
This guidance has been prepared to assist practitioners involved in odour assessment for planning. It is not intended to replace existing guidance produced by the environment agencies for environmental permitting (EP) purposes, or where a specific assessment method is already provided within existing guidance.
It describes what the IAQM considers to be current best practice; it is hoped that this will assist with and inform current and future planning appeals and decisions.
The guidance underwent a member consultation phase from the 4th March to the 24th April. Member consultation comments and the working group responses are available here.
