Notice is hereby given that the City of Edinburgh Council (referred to below as the “Council”) as planning authority in exercise of their powers conferred upon them by Section 83(2) of the above Act have made The City of Edinburgh Council Inverleith Row Revocation Order 2024 (referred to below as the "Order") in respect of an Air Quality Management Area at Inverleith Row, Edinburgh. The Order takes effect on 11th March 2024.

The Council, in accordance with SEPA Guidance for revoking an Air Quality Management Area, will develop or modify existing local air quality strategy or maintain an air quality action plan for the previously designated area(s) to ensure air quality issues maintain a high profile locally and to respond to any public expectations. The Order and the Air Quality Annual Progress Report 2021 can both be viewed on the Council's website (https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/pollution/local-air-quality-management).
