It supports a planning application for a Bioethanol plant within the existing BP Chemicals site in Saltend, Hull (see Figure 1.1 for a plan showing the location of the site and Figure 1.2 showing the site boundary). The scheme falls under Schedule I of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 and therefore an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required. The Environmental Statement (ES) reports the findings of the EIA. The key objectives of the EIA have been to: • establish and review the existing, or baseline, environmental conditions and policies which are relevant to the site of the scheme and the surrounding area; • identify and assess the environmental effects of the activities involved in construction and operation of the proposed scheme; • develop, in conjunction with Vivergo, measures that will be taken to remove, minimise or reduce these effects to acceptable levels; and • provide a framework for consultation with public authorities and interested parties. In accordance with best practice and Government Guidance, consultation has been undertaken as part of the EIA process with those agencies and parties likely to have an interest in the proposed project.
