The Government consulted on applying the ban to residential buildings with a top storey more than 18 metres above ground level, in line with current Building Regulations guidance. The majority of respondents to the consultation showed support for this height threshold and it will be used as the basis for the ban, to be consistent with current guidance.
To protect children and young people, the ban will extend to all student accommodation and residential accommodation in schools, for buildings over 18 metres. Schools can be evacuated within a matter of minutes in the event of a fire. Every school must have a Fire Risk Assessment and new schools undergo an additional check while being designed. The Government will review the 18 metres height threshold as part of the wider technical review of the Building Regulations for fire safety set to start in the autumn.<\/p>

The Government response to the recent consultation on the National Planning Policy Framework confirmed that we are considering whether any changes may be required to the planning policy for traveller sites, as a result of the changes in the revised Framework. In addition, the Government is also reviewing responses to the consultation on Powers for dealing with Unauthorised Development and Encampments, which closed on 15 June. This consultation asked whether there are any specific barriers to the provision of more authorised permanent and transit sites and, if so, whether there is any action that the Government could take to help overcome those barriers.

Local authorities have a statutory responsibility to review and assess local ambient air quality, and are responsible for mitigation of air pollution where people are likely to be exposed, such as at schools. Defra does not hold information on the number of schools, nurseries or public playgrounds close to areas which breach legal concentration limits.<\/p>
<\/p>
Defra provides guidance and support to local authorities on monitoring; positioning of monitors is expected to be in line with national and local priorities, and may include schools and other locations where there is high risk of public exposure. There are 539 current Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and 66 for Particulate Matter (PM 10) in England. A breakdown of AQMAs by Local Authority and pollutant is available on the UK Air site, which also includes an interactive map showing the boundaries of AQMAs: https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/aqma/summary<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> We committed in our consultation on our Clean Air Strategy to give local Government new legal powers to take decisive action to improve air quality in the most polluted areas. Through the 2017 NO2 plan, we are working with those local authorities where exceedances in NO2 concentrations have been identified, in order to achieve compliance with legal limits as soon as possible. This is supported by almost £500 million funding for councils as part of a wider commitment to invest £3.5 billion in transport and air quality.<\/p>"}
