Six Tesco Toxic Towers air quality report mystery

Looks odd that there six air quality reports for the Tesco development, especially when version 6 is very skimpy as compared with version 5.

Dear Planning Officer

I have been looking at the documents for the Tesco Application.

There appear at least six air quality reports. One attached is version 5 which, while page 4 says is dated April 2019,  at page 3 states it is the fifth version of 25th October 2019.

This fifth version seems very helpful to the campaign as it lists Chadwell primary N02 reports exceeding the safe annual limit over the last three years. This appears a helpful to campaigners arguing the Gladman judgment applies to stop the development as a nearby school in the developers own report is over the safe limit and the extra pollution caused by construction and traffic once built would damage child health further.

However, there is a mysterious sixth report dated 31 January 2020 also attached. Some of the sixth version mysteries include:

a) Why the report is labelled version 1 at page 1 with no reference made to earlier five versions?

b) Why has appendix A model verification been removed?

c) Why has appendix B traffic data been removed?

d) Why has Demolition & Construction Dust Risk Assessment been removed?

e) Why has Traffic data been removed?

f) Why has the pollution data from Mayfield, Chadwell Primary, Goodmayes Primary & Ethel Davis all been reomoved?

This is not an exhaustive list, just the first things to notice on a superficial reading.

I am minded to say that Tescos are engaged in a cover up, but they only be true if only the sixth report were to go to the planning committee which may be next month.

Can I have an assurance that the fifth and far more comprehensive version will go to Councillors in due course when they make their decision.

I have copied in Cllr Athwal as I expect to question him about this at cabinet next week.

Regards

Andy

First is listed as version 1 of 31.1.20, when it should be version 6.

Version 6 has a very skimpy contents page

Version 6 has a very skimpy contents page below

Version 5 of 25th October 2019 below

has far more detail per contents below

This makes it easier to argue for Gladman to apply to stop the development
