BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text<br />
4.15 The forthcoming LDF builds upon the requirements of Policy GEN1 in the proposed form of words<br />
for ‘Policy DM4: Promoting High Quality Design’. This emerging policy is currently phrased to<br />
ensure that proposals are designed to respect and enhance the local context including natural and<br />
built environments. It seeks the adoption of sustainable construction principles and practices and<br />
minimise impact on natural resources from development and reference is made to BREEAM vii (no<br />
grade specified). Proposals may also be expected, if Policy DM4 is adopted in its current form, to<br />
incorporate hard and soft landscaping that brings environmental enhancements; and features that<br />
reduce crime or the fear of crime, clearly distinguishing between public and private space.<br />
Site Planning History<br />
4.16 An application for a Hazardous Substance Consent (HSC) (NELC reference DC/129/11/IMM) for<br />
the site (for the storage and manufacture of acetylene (75 tonnes) and storage of calcium carbide<br />
(80 tonnes)) was made in February 2011. This was made by BOC and relates to this Project.<br />
4.17 The combination of consultations to date and an online search of the relevant database have not<br />
identified any other relevant planning history on the site. There are no buildings on the site it is<br />
currently planted with wheat and used for agricultural purposes.<br />
Relevant Applications and Consents<br />
4.18 S57(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act (as amended) provides that planning permission is<br />
required for the carrying out of any development of land. The definition of development includes<br />
the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over or under land, or<br />
the making of any material change in the use of any buildings or other land.<br />
4.19 Developments that are already consented but not operational and or those currently applied for<br />
and being processed, may give rise to cumulative environmental impacts and these, amongst<br />
other matters, are the subject of ongoing consultations with the LPA. Known developments that<br />
will or may have relevance are set out below and are assessed within Chapter 16 of this ES.<br />

vii BREEAM is the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method for buildings. It sets the standard for best<br />
practice in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to describe a building's environmental performance.<br />
