It identifies the methodology used to assess effects, presents existing and future baseline information, identifies receptors potentially affected, mitigation and the residual effects of the Scheme with mitigation measures implemented. 12.1.2 An EIA Scoping Report was produced and a Scoping Opinion was issued by PINS in June 2014. A summary of the responses received (and how responses have been dealt with in the Environmental Statement (ES)), is provided in Appendix 4.1 (DCO Document Reference 6.4.1). It should be noted that the Scoping Opinion suggested that a Traffic and Transport Assessment be included within the ES, which is why this chapter has been prepared. 12.1.3 Prior to the production of the ES, a Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) was prepared. The PEIR contained a preliminary review of existing environmental conditions along with potential effects of the Scheme and mitigation measures to avoid and reduce the predicted effects. Responses from consultees were taken into consideration to assist with the preparation of this ES Section (refer to Appendix 4.2 DCO Document Reference 6.4.2). 12.2 Regulatory and Planning Policy Framework 12.2.1 This assessment has been undertaken in accordance with current legislation along with national, regional and local plans and policies. A summary of which is provided below. Compliance with National Policy Statements EN-1 and EN-4 is provided in Table 12-1. Other relevant international, national, regional and local legislation is provided in Table 12-2.
