Summary of Key Planning Issues
4.8 Taken together, the Scoping Opinion 4 and the policy review indicate that the following issues are
of particular importance in achieving development proposals that are acceptable in terms of
potential environmental impacts (references in brackets are to the pertinent planning
policies/documents):
� understanding and managing the risks of flooding associated with the industrial areas defined
along the Humber Estuary, developing measures within the design of the Project to ensure
flood resilience and avoid elevation of flood risk on site or offsite (PPS 25; Yorkshire and
Humber Plan (RSS) Policies YH1 and ENV1);
� assessing and responding to the potential impacts of the Project arising from proximity to the
international and national ecological designations on the Humber Estuary, particularly in
relation to SPA Bird Species (PPS 9; PPG 24; Consultation Paper on Natural and Healthy
Environment PPS; RSS Policies YH1 and ENV8; NELC Local Plan (LP) Policies E2, NH1,
NH2 and NH3, Local Development Framework (LDF) emerging Policy DM9);
� achieving satisfactory access arrangements onto the site and managing impacts associated
with likely traffic movements generated by the Scheme (PPS 1 and supplement to PPS1;
PPG 13, RSS Policies YH7 and T1; NELC LP Policies T6 and T7; LSF emerging Policies
SO6 and DM7);
� controlling the potential noise impacts associated with the construction and operation of the
Scheme (PPS 10; PPG 24; NELC LP Policy GEN1);
� minimising the potential for the Project to give rise to pollution through the inclusion of
appropriate controls (PPS 1 and supplement to PPS1; PPS 23; NELC LP Policy GEN8; LDF
emerging Policies SO9 and DM10);
� ensuring that the Project achieves a balance of effects across social, economic and
environmental factors to deliver sustainable development (PPS 1; PPS 4; PPS 9; PPS 10;
PPS 22; Consultation Paper on Natural and Healthy Environment PPS; RSS Policies YH1
and ENV5; NELC LP Policy GEN1; LDF emerging Policies SO8, SO9, SP2, DM1 and DM10;
and
� delivering an acceptable relationship between the Project and surrounding land uses (PPS1;
PPS 5; PPS 9; PPS 23; PPG 24; PPS 25; Consultation Paper on Natural and Healthy
Environment PPS; RSS Policies YH1, ENV8, ENV9 and ENV10; NELC LP Policies GEN1,
E1, E2, E12, NH1 and NH12; LDF emerging Policy SO5).
