any new significant noise or vibration effects compared with the approved scheme.
The predicted impacts, both during construction and operation, remain not significant in EIA terms. The EIA concludes that no significant air quality effects are predicted for human receptors during construction or operation. Mine ventilation and operational traffic impacts are negligible . For ecological receptors, NOx and most NH ₃ impacts are low, but some NH ₃ and deposition effects exceed screening thresholds (refer to SES Chapter 13 Shadow Habitats Regulations Assessment ). The EIA concludes that the impacts for of both the construction and operational phases upon traffic receptors were assessed to be not significant in EIA terms. The EIA concludes that no significant effects on climate change are predicted as a result of the proposed amendments to the currently Approved Development. The EIA concludes that the proposed amendments to the currently Approved Development will produce several significant beneficial impacts during the construction and operational phases. Negligible adverse impacts will be associated with decommissioning.
