Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) - what are they?
In This Tutorial:
We will briefly discuss what an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) is and how it will impact planning, construction and operational phases of prospective projects.
Summary:
This tutorial briefly outlines AQMA's and how they are likely to impact your projects; you can read our blog on the subject under Education, Blogs at the bottom of the public site.
Accessing AQMA's in Data Studio
Step 1: click on Data Studio
Select Environmental Layers panel within the LHS toolbar;
Select Air Quality Management Area to render the areas onto the map.
Step 2: Adding AQMA as a Constraint within SiteSeeker
Select a town or city and zoom-in to a visible local area (zoom level z=15 in your URL bar);
Select "add a constraint" within SiteSeeker before selecting "click to make a selection";
Select Air Quality Management Area from the dropdown before selecting "applies" or "does not apply" and then click the green tick;
Click "deploy SiteSeeker".
Why Consider AQMA's?
Where AQMA's apply they will add additional requirements to your planning costs in terms of consultant reports and how both construction is to be management and by what processes and, also, the infrastructure that will need to be incorporated into the design of the project for the operational phase - their use.
This will add to budgets and may detract from the attractiveness of a project to the market if you intend to sell the consented scheme to others.

What site sourcers, land agents and developers say about BOOM!
The same data, a fraction of the price
Searchland, LandTech and Nimbus charge an average of £3,540 a year. BOOM! is £540 a year with every add-on included, or £216 for the sourcing data on its own — the £20 a month plan, billed annually.
That is £3,000 a year back into your next deal.
We can charge less because we cost less to run: a small team, no sales force, and no venture capital demanding a price rise every year. The platform is also only part of what we do — the others sell a sourcing platform and nothing else.
