Statutory air quality plan for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), setting out how the UK will be reducing roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations.
These documents and zone plans set out our comprehensive approach to meeting the statutory limits for nitrogen dioxide, and the policy background.
The technical report details the modelling techniques and assumptions used when developing the plan.
A supplement to the plan was published on 5 October 2018. Read the local authority studies used to develop the supplement.
The Directions require specified local authorities to carry out studies or to implement actions to meet legal limits for nitrogen dioxide in the shortest possible time, and sets deadlines.

- Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010
- Air Quality Standards (Scotland) Regulations 2010
