“(4) An environmental improvement plan must include, as a minimum—
(a) measures which, taken together, are likely to achieve any targets set under section 1 or 2 and will ensure that the next interim targets included in the plan are met,
(b) measures that each relevant central government department must carry out,
(c) measures to protect sensitive and vulnerable population groups (including children, older people, people with chronic illnesses and outdoor and transport workers) from the health impacts of pollution,
(d) a timetable for adoption, implementation and review of the chosen measures, and the authorities responsible for their delivery,
(e) an analysis of the options considered and their estimated impact on delivering progress against the relevant targets, and
(f) measures to minimise, or where possible eliminate, the harmful impacts of pollution on human health and the environment.”
Member’s explanatory statement
