In appropriate cases, these details should include a statement of the likely environmental effects of the development and of the traffic to be generated by it, along with details of the measures proposed to avoid, reduce or remedy those effects. Where required by the provisions of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 1999 and DETR Circular 2/99, these details should be supplied in the form of a formal Environmental Statement.
