Report December 2009
Port of Dover
As part of the first round of the Air Quality Review &
Assessment process, Dover District Council declared an Air Quality
Management area for sulphur dioxide in the Port of Dover. The AQMA
came into force on 20th June 2002. Further to the declaration, a
final Air Quality Action Plan (2005) was completed following
consultation which has subsequently been adopted by the
Council.
In accordance with Policy Guidance LAQM.PG (03) sect. 3.36 Local
Authorities have a requirement to submit annual action planning
Progress Reports once the final action plan has been drawn up.

identified to improve levels of sulphur dioxide in the area of the
Port of Dover and those reported in the Annual Progress Report
2005. The most recent report provides additional information on a
scheme to introduce emission trading opportunities on cross channel
