I am a research associate at Imperial College London working on a project to assess the emissions from biomass fuelled electricity generating plants.
I am interested in obtaining the Air Quality Assessment that was submitted as part of the Environment Statement for the planning application PL\0245\09. I have looked on the Lincolnshire planning register where I found several documents associated with this planning application (including the committee report attached which makes reference to the air quality assessment), but there doesn't seem to be a copy of the Air Quality Assessment or Environmental Statement available to download. If it's possible to send me a copy it would be greatly appreciated. - Decision

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
Please find attached a copy of the original Air Quality Assessment that formed part of the Environmental Statement supporting planning application reference PL/0245/09 (permission reference: B/0477/09).
Given the age of this application I’m afraid we no longer have this available online to view.
Please note the development subject of permission B/0477/09 has been amended several times since planning permission was first granted and this was resulted in new permissions being granted which amended and varied conditions attached to the original permission. These permissions are set out below and two of these resulted in changes that required new, updated Air Quality Assessments to submitted in support of those applications. I have therefore attached copies of these assessments for completeness.
