Will there be any emissions from the chimney?

Yes, there will be emissions to air from a high-level stack. All emissions from the site will be controlled within strict limits regulated by the Environment Agency, and emissions to air will be monitored by Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems.

Detailed modelling has been carried out to assess the impact of emissions to air and to make sure that the proposed development does not exceed any air quality standards. These standards are concentrations which are considered to be acceptable in terms of what is scientifically known about the effects of each pollutant on health and the environment. Detailed modelling has shown the impact on air quality to be insignificant.
