These are detailed in Volume 5: Appendix SV-002-001: Sound, noise and vibration report. 1.2 Impact assessment 1.2.1 Table 1 presents information on the impacts on all identified heritage assets and the likely resultant environmental effects, taking into account agreed mitigation measures. Details on the assignment of values and the assessment of the scale of impacts are set out in the Environmental Impact Assessment Scope and Methodology Report and its Addendum (see Volume 5: Appendices CT-001-001 and CT-001-002). 1 HS2 Ltd (2017), High Speed Two (HS2) Phase 2a (West Midlands - Crewe), Background Information and Data, Cultural heritage survey reports, BID- CH-004-001, www.gov.uk/hs2 1 Table 1: Impact assessment for the Fradley to Colton area Unique Name Designation Value Construction impact Operation impact identifier (s) Nature of impact including Scale of Effect Nature of impact including Scale of Effect mitigation impact mitigation impact FRC001 Old Hall Grade II Moderate The asset lies approximately 2km No change Neutral No impact upon No change Neutral Farmhouse, listed away from the route of the significance.
