|
Air Quality - harmful emissions measured in the Air Quality
Management Areas (AQMAs)
|
Reduce emissions - nitrogen dioxide annual mean.
|
As reported in Corporate Plan - figure in micrograms per m3 for 2010 will be used as the baseline figure (34)
|
|
Current Performance:
|
5 AQMAs in Rotherham. Based on annual average (mean) of
Rotherham’s automatic monitoring sites in 2020 = 26 micrograms per m3. (2019 = 36 micrograms per m3). Decrease from 2010 baseline (34) and decrease from previous year’s figure (36).

Increase renewable energy generation year on year in the borough (36Mw by 2021).
|
Government Core output indicator
|
|
Current Performance:
|
Large scale: 70Mw already granted (not all in operation but well on target), a large increase due to the new Biomass plant at the former Firth Rixson works Templeborough now in operation (output of 41Mw) No large-scale schemes granted planning permission in 2021/22. Small scale: 5,407 installations of photovoltaic (solar) cells across the borough in period Apr 2010 to Mar 2019 [Source: Dep for BEIS] Following the closure of the Government Feed-in-Tariff scheme in March 2019, data is no longer available. |

Waste Management
|
Amount of waste arising and managed by type
|
Reduce landfill and reduce total municipal waste
|
Government Core output indicator (household waste
former NI192, municipal waste former NI193). Household and
municipal waste to landfill have both decreased significantly over the year.
|
|
Current Performance:
|
Percentage of household waste sent for reuse, recycling or composting in 2021/22 = 45.00% [43.39% in 2020/21.] Reduction mainly due to introduction of a chargeable garden waste collection service. Increase due mainly to improved recycling since COVID and improvement in processing sites efficiency.
(2021/22 Further 38.06% used to recover heat, power & other energy sources; 0.6% of HOUSEHOLD sent to landfill.) (2020/21 was 39.58% used to recover heat, power & other energy sources; 1.32% sent to landfill.) Percentage of municipal waste sent to landfill = 0.6% [1.32%. in 2020/21 |
