Compulsory Purchase Statement of Reasons and Funding Statement - sets out reasons for the compulsory acquisition of land or rights over land in order to facilitate the development.  The Funding Statement confirms that Covanta has the necessary financial resources. 8. Draft Development Consent Obligation - is a planning agreement for the RRF. The local planning authority will be the party who will enforce such obligations and would potentially be the beneficiary of financial contributions.

4. Authorisation Documents cont. 9. Grid Connection Statement - sets out how the connection of the RRF to the main electricity grid will be constructed. 10. Consultation Report - will set out the parties consulted, any responses and how the responses have influenced the design of the Project before submission of the application to the IPC. 11. Statement of Engagement of section 79 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 - sets out how Covanta will identify with the (local authority) and potentially mitigate any of the statutory nuisances that would arise (if any) with regard to the proposed development. 12. Land Plan - show the extent of the land to be used for the proposed development and illustrates the land and any rights required to implement the Project, as set out in the book of reference. 13. Works Plan - sets out the proposed positioning of the RRF and other works. 14. Rights of Way and Access Plan – sets out the proposed access arrangements and existing and proposed rights of way 15. Other Plans – scaled drawings showing elevations, site layout, landscaping etc.

5. Assessment Documents 16. Environmental Statementand Non Technical Summary - sets out the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment process. It identifies any likely significant effects and any necessary mitigation with regard to the  Project. The Non-Technical Summary is an easily digestible précis of the findings contained within the Environmental Statement.  17. Flood Risk Assessment - assesses the risk of the Project with regard to flooding.  It analyses the risks and  any works necessary in order to minimise the risk of flooding both on site and down stream. Could be incorporated with the Environmental Statement 18. Report as to Effects (or absence of effects) upon European Sites – identifies any site of European significance as receptors and any potential effects upon them 19. NaturalFeatures Plan and Report of any Effects upon Natural Features - identifies any natural features as receptors and any potential effects upon them. 20. Historic Environment Plan and Report of any Effects upon Historic Features - records the location of any historic features and any environmental effects on them. 21.Alternative Site Assessment Report – sets out the work undertaken to audit Covanta’s selection of Rookery South for the Project. It presents the reference sources to identify a long list of sites, the criteria used to assess site suitability and presents all the other sites considered within the work.

6. Assessment Documents cont. 22. Health Impact Assessment ("HIA")  - will assess the potential health impacts on the residents within the locality.  The preparation of an HIA is not a mandatory legal requirement.   23. Combined Heat and Power Report - sets out the viability of utilising the heat by-product of the Energy from Waste Facility and turning it into reusable power (i.e. hot water or steam).  It also considers the infrastructure requirements associated with the export and utilisation of the power.

7. Advocacy Documents 24. Design and Access statement - This document explains and covers the design concepts, principles and access issues associated with the RRF. 25.

The Planning Statement will draw together the analysis presented in the Assessment suite of documents, particularly the Alternative Site Assessment Report and the Environmental Statement 27. WRATE, Carbon and Economies of Scale Report - WRATE (Waste and Resources Assessment Tool for the Environment) is a Life Cycle Assessment software tool for comparing different waste management systems. It gives a measure of how the RRF will perform as compared to the landfill reliant baseline. The Report will also consider economies of scale and using other comparators will demonstrate the net carbon savings to be gained. 28. Socio-Economic Statement – considers the broader potential economic and social effects that are expected to accrue in the  surrounding  area as a result of the construction, operation and  decommissioning activities of the RRF.
