and/or\n(b)whose administrative areas are adjacent to that/those areas; and/or\n(c)the Highways Agency;\n“relevant planning authority” means the planning authority or authorities in whose administrative areas the selected base ports are located;\n“selected base port” or “ports” means a base port or ports situated in England; and\n“transport assessment” means a document that accords with the principles set out in the Transport Statement and the national guidance given in the Guidance on Transport Assessment (2007) published by the Department for Transport and Department for Communities and Local Government, and includes an assessment of those vehicle routes agreed with the relevant highway authority or authorities.",
