The East Riding Local Plan Draft Strategy Document Policy S6 proposed to reserve up to 240 ha of land at Hedon Haven to cater for the expansion of the Port of Hull (which includes this parcel of land), and which would be followed by allocation of the land in the Allocations Document. 1.1.2 This impact assessment is produced as part of the evidence base for the emerging Local Plan, and specifically for the HAV1/2 allocation and associated policies. The distinction between land parcels HAV1 and HAV2 at Hedon Haven assists in the description process, but is also notable because HAV1 is already allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan. A baseline cultural heritage study (URS 2012a) and a heritage and landscape parameters study (URS 2012b) have already been prepared as part of the evidence base for the sites, and elements of these reports are summarised within this document. 1.1.3 For the purposes of this report and to ensure a consistent approach to the assessment of impact to heritage assets, HAV1/2 is assessed as a single area and is referred to hereafter as the Site. However to aid descriptions, the HAV2 portion of the proposed allocation is composed of Hedon Haven North and Hedon Haven South. The HAV1 portion of the allocation has been the subject of assessment work in 2012 and 2013 in support of the Paull Local Development Order (LDO) that has since been adopted by East Riding of Yorkshire Council on the same area, and is therefore also known as the Paull site.
