Our team of air quality experts at Haze Environmental have over 16 years' of multi-sector air quality experience - a rare and valuable commodity. We are able to provide a broad range of air quality services. The team are members of the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM), demonstrating our expertise.
An air quality assessment is a study or evaluation of the air quality in a specific location. It typically involves measuring the concentrations of various pollutants in the air and comparing them to established standards or guidelines.
The goal of an air quality assessment is to determine if the air quality in a particular area is safe for people to breathe, and if not, to identify the sources of pollution and recommend ways to improve air quality.
Haze Environmental follow the relevant technical guidance for all our assessments, therefore you can be confident our assessments are robust and accurate. In particular, we use the IAQM guidance on Planning for Air Quality: https://iaqm.co.uk/text/guidance/air-quality-planning-guidance.pdf
An air quality assessment will be required where there is a need to inform the decision-making with regard to development. It is reasonable to expect that an assessment will be required where there is a risk of a significant air quality effect, either from a new development causing an air quality impact or creating exposure to high concentrations of pollutants for new residents.
We work with developers, planners and transport consultants looking for an air quality assessment to support a planning application. If you have a development with more than 10 residential units or more than 1,000 metres square of floor space, then an air quality assessment is a requirement for planning applications.
We specialise in both air quality assessments and odour assessments having supported hundreds of successful planning applications over the last 16 years. We are able to deliver these quickly and efficiently thanks to our experienced team.
Our average turnaround time for air quality assessment projects is 1-2 weeks so we are able to work with you on meeting your tight deadlines. We understand that often, air quality assessment requirements are not always thought of until the end of the planning process so our dedicated team are here to work with you on completing your project on time and within budget.
Haze Environmental can produce robust air quality assessments to meet your specific needs. We are able to assess the impacts of emissions from a variety of sources including:
We follow our unique AIR Methodology to ensure compliance and efficiency with all of our air quality assessment projects.
We will assess your project at the planning stage to ensure it’s air quality compliant
We visit your site either in-person or virtually and carry out in-depth investigations into the site and the proposals

Hi, I’m Chloe Fellows and I am the founder of Haze Environmental. I have been in the industry for over 16 years, having worked at some of the largest environmental companies in the UK. I left my previous role to set up Haze Environmental and my experience includes working on key projects such as HS2 and The Shard at London Bridge, as well as smaller residential and commercial projects based all over the UK.
I am passionate about the environment and sustainability and bring this to you at the planning stage to ensure both compliance and innovation.
I founded Haze Environmental Ltd to have a positive impact on the clients we work with and the environment as a whole.
My ambition is to partner with like-minded clients to incorporate air quality positive measures that will offer public health and well-being co-benefits.
