Dust

Dust can be generated from a variety of activities and may constitute a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The usual activities that can generate dust are construction and demolition sites, earthmoving and certain industrial processes that handle fine dusty cargos/products.

With large construction and demolition schemes we insist that these sites either have their own Construction and Demolition Code of Practice or they adopt the Plymouth City Council Code of Practice for Construction and Demolition sites.

If you require further information/advice or would like to make a formal complaint please contact the Environmental Protection Team.
