AQMA in Stapenhill

The A444 in Stapenhill has been declared an Air Quality Management Area following concerns at the levels of Nitrogen Dioxide. (Burton upon Trent AQMA. No.2)

The A444 continues into Stanton and past the proposed recovery park. The site will be approximately 3.5km away from this AQMA.

This concern is elevated with the high volumes of traffic on the A444. The AADF (Average Annual Daily Flow) Count Marker (7148) on the A444 near Stanton Nurseries showed an average of between 16,000 & 17,000 users per day from 2012 to 2017.

The concern here is about the additional burden of pollutants.
