1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been prepared so that

the potential impacts that may arise from the construction of the proposed development

are actively managed and minimised. The actions set out in this plan are intended to act

as a guide and a tool for anticipating, recording and ameliorating any impacts that may

arise and set out codes, standards and guidelines for minimizing environmental impacts

during construction whilst defining roles and responsibilities for implementing the CEMP

and ensuring the duties set out within this document are adhered to.

1.2 It is anticipated that the CEMP will evolve as the project progresses so that its content

reflects the current construction programme. Each revision of the plan shall be submitted

to NWLDC for their prior written approval to any changes, unless they are urgently

necessary in the interests of health and safety, or pollution control.

1.3 Recommendations for the control of noise and vibration on construction and open sites

is contained in BS 5228: 2009+A1: 2014, and will be adopted where appropriate.

1.4 This document has been prepared as a site-wide framework for all phases of

development and will be reviewed for each phase of development.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

2.1 A contractor shall be appointed that recognises the environmental impacts associated

with this project and will be committed to continually improving its environmental

performance. The policy statement sets out the aims of the environmental plan for the

construction of the proposed development of NWLDC, the various aims are summarised

below:

To meet the requirements of all relevant environmental legislation, agreements,

authorisations and commitments.

To fulfil all environmental undertakings and obligations of the Main Contractor.

To adopt working practices that will achieve good environmental practice on-site.

To make sub-contractors and suppliers aware of the environmental constraints and

opportunities of the site and follow any necessary procedures in order to ensure good

environmental practice.

To identify the responsibilities of staff and contractors in achieving good

environmental practice on-site.

To mitigate the effects of the construction works on businesses, highway users and

the general public.

To promote operative health and wellbeing during the works with suitable welfare

facilities that take cognisance of future climate change risk factors such as operative

overheating during high temperatures by ensuring water and shading is available to

workers.

To assist in the development of the company environmental management system,

not only for the requirements of this project but for future use.

2.2 All personnel are required to understand and implement the requirements of this CEMP.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

3.1 The construction phase elements of the project shall be delivered in accordance with the

Construction Ecological Management Plan (Document Reference MEL Report RT-MME-

127098-04) which forms Appendix A to this plan. An Environmental Co-ordinator

(including Community Liaison) will be appointed by IM Properties or the appointed Main

Contractor to manage and implement the obligations set out in this Construction

Ecological Management Plan are implemented, The Environmental Co-ordinator will be

4

based on the site and will act as focal point for the distillation of the contractor’s

responsibilities with respect to the environment and for queries/complaints from the

controlling authorities and general public. The duties required of the Environmental Co-

ordinator are set out below.

3.2 The Environmental Co-ordinator shall be responsible for all environmental activities on

the project and will report to the Developer and Main Contractor. The duties involve the

following:

Overall management of the environmental component of the project.

Manage day-to-day activities to avoid significant environmental effects.

Review and update the site CEMP.

To act as the main point of contact between the regulatory authorities (Environment

Agency and Local Authorities) and the project on environmental issues.

Liaise with the ecological consultant to the project.

To act as the main point of contact between the local populace and the project.

Development and delivery of environmental training (induction and toolbox talks) for

site personnel and sub-contractors.

Promote Best Practice at all times.

Assisting with the development of procedures that highlight the emergency response

to environmental incidents.

Management of the monitoring programme, including noise, dust and water quality.

Environmental incident monitoring and reporting.

Assessment of Significant Environmental Aspects.

3.3 The environmental aspects identified should be evaluated in terms of significance so that

resources are targeted appropriately and effectively. The environmental aspects

determined to be of most significance are the activities of the project that require

managing and should be subject to improvement in performance.

5

3.4 An Environmental Aspects Register shall be contained within the Environmental

Management System which will be available for inspection on-site at all times and will

be structured in the following way.

Environmental Aspects Register

Activity Aspect Impact(s) Legislation Significance Management response

Comments

3.5 For each significant environmental aspect the relevant applicable environmental

legislation and regulations will be identified. A complete and up to date legal Register is

contained within the Environmental Management System.

4 PROJECT SPECIFIC MEASURES

4.1 This chapter of the CEMP contains details of the measures to minimise the potential

effects from the construction works, which will be implemented throughout the works. It

is envisaged that this CEMP will be a live document that will be updated as necessary

to include consideration of evolving aspects of the construction works.

4.2 Each revision of the Construction Management Plan shall be communicated to NWLDC

and submitted for written approval. Whenever possible, amendments to the plan shall

be discussed with NWLDC prior to incorporation into the document.

4.3 The full programme of works for the construction of the proposed development will be

available in due course and key dates highlighted to show critical areas of the

development.

Consideration and Responsibility

4.4 The Project will be registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. All works

will be carried out with positive consideration towards our neighbours and the

environment. Works that are likely to cause an impact to our neighbours will be

advertised through a mechanism to be agreed with NWLDC. This mechanism may be

door-to-door leafleting of nearby properties, advertising in a local paper, posters in

prominent locations etc. and will address issues relating to programme, activities, likely

effects, duration and points of contact.

6

4.5 A communications protocol will be prepared and agreed prior to commencement of

construction with NWLDC and will form an addendum to this CEMP.

4.6 The Main Contractor will ensure that all site personnel, specialist sub-contractors,

delivery drivers and any other persons working on or visiting the site fully understand

and implement the obligations of the CEMP and monitor their compliance with it. This

will be achieved by including the CEMP and its obligations in the safety induction that

everyone attending site will attend. The inductees will be required to sign a statement

stating that they have understood and will abide by the content of the CEMP.

The Environmental Co-ordinator as representative of The Developer / Main Contractor

will act as a central contact point for discussions with both NWLDC & other interested

parties, including local businesses and residents. Details of how to contact The

Environmental Co-ordinator will be lodged with the client and representatives and

advertised through a suitable mechanism to be agreed with NWLDC. Should any

complaints arise during the course of the works, a broad procedure for dealing with them

is set out in Figure 1 below.

Waste

4.10 As part of the CEMP minimising and reducing waste during the construction stage is a

key priority and the following core principles will be maintained throughout the

construction process:

Toolbox briefing sessions.

Adopting good on-site working practices.

Reducing wastage on-site.

Providing adequate waste storage facilities.

Providing adequate security measures.

Appropriate waste disposal routes.

4.11 The above will all be managed and recorded in the Site Waste Management Plan-

SWMP (Pro-forma plan is contained in Appendix B)

4.12 Further details of good site practices include the following:

All construction personnel including sub-contractors will be briefed through toolbox

talks regarding the importance of minimising, segregating and recycling wastes

during the construction process.

Guidance will be provided on the segregation of certain waste streams such as

aggregates, excavated materials, metal, wood, cardboard and polythene packaging

waste.

The objectives of the toolbox talks will be to maximise opportunities for recycling and

minimise waste to landfill.

Deliveries will be on a ‘just-in-time’ basis to minimise potential damage and wastage

of materials.

Clearly labelled waste skips will be provided at the site for the segregation of waste

streams for recycling and for general waste to be disposed of to landfill. The skips will

be stored in a secure location on-site to prevent waste nuisance issues arising.

Fuels, oils and chemicals will be stored in appropriate containers within secure

bunded compound constructed of an impermeable hard standing and in accordance

with good site practices and Environment Agency guidelines (Pollution Prevention

Guidance Note 6 ‘Working at Construction and Demolition Sites’).

Construction materials will be stored in a secure compound to prevent the potential

for vandalism and theft of material.

9

Segregated waste for recycling will be removed from site by a licensed contractor to

an appropriate Materials Recycling Facility (MRF).

Wastes that cannot be recycled will be removed from site by a licensed waste

contractor to an appropriate licensed landfill facility ensuring adherence to the

Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations.

Waste will only be placed in the approved locations to minimise litter and pollution.

Control of Site Drainage / Hazardous Materials

4.13 Construction site drainage shall be designed and implemented in accordance with best

practice and the following key principles:

Phasing of construction operations and organisation of the site shall be

considered to minimise areas of exposed sediments within the development at

all times;

Provision of a drainage system that provides facilities to trap sediments before it

can be entrained in run off or washed from the site;

Facilities to remove trapped sediments from site run off prior to discharging into

surface waters shall be incorporated. These are detailed in Appendix F

All soil stockpiles shall be placed in bunds or within geotextile fencing, to reduce

the transfer of sediment from the stockpiles into the watercourse.

Works shall be carried out in accordance with Soil Resource Plan contained in

Appendix C.

4.14 Any earth moving and construction activity that takes place in close proximity to a

watercourse will include measures for water control. These will include cut-off ditches,

settling ponds and restricting activity in certain areas by temporary fencing and other

delineations. See Appendix F for treatment methods and water control.

4.15 Specific drainage facilities shall additionally be provided for:

Construction vehicle parking areas.

Excavations below the water table which requiring de-watering.

Temporary drainage arrangement during construction will be agreed with the Local

Authority prior to commencement of works.

10

4.16 Any specific discharges from the above to any watercourse shall be subject to

discharge consents from the Environment Agency or Leicestershire County Council as

Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) as appropriate. Discharges will pass via settlement

and oil interception facilities and will be monitored to a programme agreed with the

Environment Agency or LLFA. Effluent exceeding the Environment Agency or LLFA

discharge consent conditions will be held for further on-site treatment/settlement or

alternatively will be tankered away to a licensed liquid waste disposal site. Methods of

treatment are contained in Appendix F.

4.17 The Main Contractor will dispose of any water which may come into contact with

contaminated materials in accordance with the Water Resources Act (1991) and to the

satisfaction of the Environment Agency or LLFA as appropriate.

4.18 Construction site sewage will either be tankered to treatment facilities off-site or

disposed in the site’s proposed foul drainage system to public foul sewer.

4.19 All liquids and solids of a potentially hazardous nature (e.g. diesel fuels, oils, solvents

etc). will be stored in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Environment Agency.

4.20 Storage of hydrocarbons and chemicals will be strategically located away from surface

water sources in appropriately designated and (minimum 110% capacity) bunded

locations and with strict procedures to manage the operation of such facilities. Such

materials will be stored within secure compound areas with access gained by

competent authorised personnel only. The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage)

Regulations 2001 indicate what is required for the storage of oil in the UK with further

information provided in the Environment Agency’s Pollution Prevention Guideline 02 –

Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks. Leakage of oils and chemicals can be avoided

through regular checks and maintenance of storage and other facilities; and plant

should be provided with drip trays to prevent direct effects to groundwater and indirect

effects to surface waters. Drip trays should be checked and emptied regularly using

appropriately licensed waste operators.

11

4.21 In summary, the following construction best practice (Construction Industry Research

and Information Association – ‘Environmental Good Practice On Site’ will be followed:

Ordering Delivery

Avoid: -

Over ordering (order “just-on-time”)

Ordering standard lengths rather than lengths required (e.g. Plasterboard)

Ordering for delivering at the wrong time (update programme regularly)

Avoid: -

Damage during unloading

Delivery to inappropriate areas of the site

Accepting incorrect deliveries, specification or quantity

Storage Handling

Avoid: -

Damage to materials from incorrect storage

Loss, theft or vandalism through secure storage and on-site security

Avoid: -

Damage or spillage through incorrect or repetitive handling

4.22 Any accidental contamination of the ground or surface water will be cleaned-up in

accordance with the appropriate Environment Agency guidelines and removed off-site

by the appropriate licensed waste contractor.

4.23 Surplus material, rubbish etc. shall not be allowed to accumulate on the site or over-spill

to the surrounding environment.

Ecology

4.24 The works shall be delivered in accordance with the approved Construction Ecological

Management Plan (MEL Report RT-MME-127098-04 contained in Appendix A) and the

appointed Environmental Co-ordinator will liaise with the ecological consultant to the

project to ensure that the surrounding environment is respected throughout the works.

This will be reinforced through the toolbox talks, which will include an ecology-specific

briefing. This briefing will be drafted by the ecological consultant to the project (in

accordance with the Ecological Survey and Framework Ecological Management

Strategy (FEMS) submitted with the Planning Application) and agreed as appropriate

with NWLDC.

12

4.25 Measures contained in the CEMP are aimed to avoid or reduce landscape and visual

effects during construction including the following:

Site clearance and removal of vegetation on a phased basis to limit the duration of

impacts associated with losses of vegetation.

Maximising the retention of existing trees and vegetation in the design where

possible, specifically this includes, but is not limited to, the hedgerow network to the

boundaries of the site and any trees identified within the Tree Protection Plan for

contained in Appendix C.

Protection of all retained existing vegetation for the duration of the construction period

(including accommodation works and site demobilisation) to ensure no vegetation is

lost due to poor site management or construction operations.

Replacement of any trees intended to be retained which may be lost unintentionally

as a consequence of construction works.

Strict adherence to the site boundaries of construction and storage compounds and

construction access roads, including the use of well-maintained hoardings and

fencing.

Identify and agree details of root protection areas for all retained trees and hedgerows

(as identified within the Tree Protection Plan Appendix C);

Relevant pollution prevention working practices to be adopted to prevent silt and

contamination entering waterbodies and watercourses;

Adherence to best practice guidelines to minimise noise disturbance, supress dust

and limit disturbance to retained areas of habitat;

Designing and siting of construction lighting to avoid unnecessary intrusion onto

adjacent receptors and other land uses.

4.26 Pre-Construction checks shall be undertaken before the commencement of the

construction phases (i.e. for nesting birds and badger setts); and protected species

identified during the works will be notified to the ecological consultant to the project, who

will advise an appropriate course of action, if necessary, in conjunction with NWLDC.

4.27 Until an appropriate course of action is identified, no further works will take place in the

area identified as having a protected species.

13

Noise

4.28 Construction noise emissions are a potential source of annoyance to the local

population. Consideration will be given to mitigating the effect of this noise by carrying

out the following actions.

4.29 Working Hours; the works carried out on site will be from the hours of 07:00 to 18:00

hours Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 13:00 hours on Saturdays. There will be no working

on Sundays and bank holidays.

4.30 Standard construction plant / equipment will be used during all phases of the construction

process.

4.31 Typical Plant will include Excavators, dozers, crushing machine, cranes, dumpers,

scissor lifts, and cherry pickers etc.

4.32 To establish the noise emission levels during the works, a programme of noise

monitoring will be carried out for the first week of each phase of works to determine the

noise levels received at the closest receptors.

4.33 The principal objectives of the monitoring will be to identify if additional control measures

are required. All measured noise levels will be recorded and retained on-site for the

duration of the construction programme.

4.34 The monitoring locations will be agreed in advance with NWLDC, along with the

proposed monitoring periods, as and when requested by NWLDC.

4.35 On site noise levels will be monitored regularly, particularly when changes in process

are required or in response to complaint. The monitoring will be in accordance with the

guidance set out in BS5228.

4.36 Where practical and where there is a positive environmental benefit, use will be made of

temporary spoil heaps to shield the surrounding receptors from the construction works.

For example, this may be utilised during the earthworks and site preparation phases of

the works.

14

4.37 All plant items will be properly maintained and operated in accordance with the

manufacturers’ recommendations, so that excessive noise is minimised. Rattling noises

will be controlled by tightening loose parts and by fixing resilient materials between the

surfaces in contact.

4.38 Plant known to emit noise strongly in one direction should, where possible, will be

orientated so that the noise is directed away from noise sensitive areas.

4.39 Acoustic covers will be kept closed when engines are in use and idling. Compressors

that have effective noise enclosures and are designed to operate when their access

panels are closed will be used.

4.40 Materials will be lowered where practicable and not dropped.

4.41 Stationary plant such as compressors and generators will be positioned away from

sensitive locations within the confines of the operational use of the equipment.

4.42 Where reasonably practical, noisy plant or processes will be replaced by less noisy

alternatives (BPM). Annex B of Part 1 of BS5228 will be used as a reference for noise

reduction measures.

Maintenance

4.43 Regular and effective maintenance of machinery and noise control measures, by trained

personnel is essential and will assist in reducing potential noise. Increases in plant noise

are often indicative of future mechanical failure and will be responded to by the

Environmental Co-ordinator.

4.44 Noise caused by vibrating machinery having rotating parts can be reduced by proper

attention to balancing.

4.45 Frictional noise will be reduced by tools being well maintained and kept sharp.

4.46 Lubrication of parts will also reduce noise.

15

Training

4.47 All employees and contractors will need to be informed about the need to minimise noise.

As part of on-site training they will be advised regularly of the following:

The proper use and maintenance of tools and equipment.

The positioning of machinery on-site to reduce the emission of noise to the

neighbourhood and to site personnel.

Avoidance of unnecessary noise when carrying out operations, and when operating

plant and equipment.

Using and maintaining measures adopted for noise control.

The need for reporting defective noise control equipment.

Managers and supervisors recognising the need for employees to make proper use

of measure to minimise noise.

Machines in intermittent use will be shut down in intervening periods of non-use, or

where this is impracticable, they will be throttled down to a minimum.

4.48 Where practicable white noise reversing alarms will be fitted to mobile plant.

Emissions to Air

4.49 Finished ground/road surfaces will be set down as early as is feasible to seal the ground

to ensure that the generation of dust is kept to a minimum.

4.50 Surfaced and unsurfaced site access roads will be kept in good order and will be watered

as necessary using a water bowser. This will be monitored on a daily basis during hot,

dry weather.

4.51 The wheels of vehicles leaving site will be cleaned using appropriate equipment prior to

leaving site as necessary.

4.52 A water supply will be maintained across the site to ensure that dusty surfaces and

activities can be damped as appropriate.

4.53 There will be no burning of any material anywhere on-site. Anyone caught breaching this

will be disciplined appropriately.

16

4.54 Any exposed soil or material stockpiles will be appropriately damped, if necessary using

sprinklers and hoses. A wind-sock will be located on the site and where this indicates a

prevailing wind toward sensitive receptors, particular attention will be given to the

damping of exposed soil and material stockpiles.

4.55 All areas of completed earthworks that are not subject to subsequent works such as

drainage will have a stone capping layer placed on them, which will be covered with

permanent building works. Areas not covered with permanent building works will be

covered with topsoil and vegetated as soon as is practicable.

4.56 Screening monitoring through a visual inspection of the site perimeter will be carried out

weekly during dry periods to check for dust deposition (evident as soiling and marking)

on vegetation, cars and other objects.

4.57 The programme of works has been sequenced such that any deliveries to site will either

be onto a stone capping layer or hard surfacing again minimising the risk of any mud or

debris being deposited on the Public Highway. The surrounding area will be monitored

at all times and if necessary and as required Road Sweeping plant will be on hand to

deal with any debris/mud on the Highway.

4.58 Where activities on site may foreseeably increase the likelihood of the works to create

complaints or where any complaints are received in relation to the works and dust or air

quality the Main Contractor shall:

increase frequency of site inspection by the person accountable for air quality

and dust issues on site when activities with a high potential to produce dust are

being carried out and during prolonged periods of dry or windy conditions;

record inspection results and make inspection log available to NWLDC when

asked increase frequency of site inspection by the person accountable for air

quality and dust issues on site when activities with a high potential to produce

dust are being carried out and during prolonged periods of dry or windy

conditions;

record all dust and air quality complaints, identify cause, take appropriate

measures to reduce emissions in a timely manner and record the measures

taken;

make the complaints log available to the local authority when asked;

17

record any exceptional incidents that cause dust and/or air emissions, either on-

or offsite and the action taken to resolve the situation in the log book;

Programme and Phasing

4.59 The Proposed Development will include a period of mobilization / site set up with relevant

ecological protection works before site clearance and earthworks which are anticipated

to commence early 2019 (with an anticipated construction period of circa 24 months)

leading to overall works complete 2021. Note precise timings will be subject to the

selected Main Contractor programme methodology.

4.60 It is anticipated the earthworks will be undertaken in a phased manner (to suit the levels

strategy and the selected Main Contractors programme methodology) with individual plot

construction works commencing to plateau areas as they become available during the

earthworks activities. To best manage earthwork material generation during the

construction period it is anticipated the residual Outline Application area of land and site

boundaries will be undertaken later in the programme period to allow for utilisation of

earthworks material generated from the Detailed Application area.

4.61 Two new permanent site access points to the B5493 will be constructed simultaneously

with the on-site construction activities and when available during the construction period

it is anticipated these will be utilised by the Main Contractor for construction access and

egress allowing the existing Hill Top Farm access from the A444 to be closed off prior to

completion of the works.

Site Boundaries / Access

4.62 Specific site boundaries for each phase of development and/or construction boundaries

are to be agreed with and defined by the Developer. The Main Contractor will secure the

site before any construction on-site commences.

4.63 Fencing specification will be of a Heras type and/or a chain link fence or similar. Where

required for visual and security purposes solid hoarding type fences may be erected

around part or all of a site. The overall style, form, type and extent of all fencing is to be

agreed with the Developer prior to erection.

18

4.64 The existing site farm entrance from the A444 is to be utilised initially until new

permanent entrances formed from the B5493 become available. Thereafter the site will

be accessed from the completed permanent access from the B5493. Lockable

gates/barriers are to be provided at the entrances and these are to be kept locked at all

times outside working hours. See Appendix E for details of offsite Traffic routing.

4.65 Furthermore, any mud on the site access road will be assessed on at least a daily basis.

Road sweeping will be undertaken as necessary should it be required.

Vehicle Routing

4.66 Care will be taken during the design process and thought given to minimise the needfor

HGV movements.

4.67 The proposed route to site will be via The M42 and A42 exiting at Junction 11 and on to

the A444 / B5493. All construction traffic entering and leaving the site will be closely

controlled, with clear signage of agreed routing. See Appendix E for details of offsite

Traffic routing.

4.68 Project-specific traffic management plans shall be produced detailing construction traffic

movements to and from the site, the traffic management plan shall detail a predefined

and agreed access route to minimise impacts of the project upon local road networks

and shall contain an agreed proposed routing map, which shall be agreed with the local

authority and form the basis of project specific versions during future phases of

development.

4.69 This route will be communicated to all Specialist Subcontractors and Material Suppliers.

4.70 Where appropriate, temporary signs will be erected. This will direct drivers to the site

avoiding minor local roads. No construction traffic signs will be erected on local roads in

accordance with the drawings in Appendix E.

19

4.71 All contractors will be required to take stringent measures to prevent mud, dirt, debris,

rubbish or waste from contaminating the approach roads to the site. These measures

will include:

The provision of easily cleaned hard standings and roadways for vehicles entering,

parking on or leaving the site.

The cleaning of the wheels of vehicles using appropriate equipment as necessary on

all construction sites, from commencement until completion of all earthworks, base

course, and roads and parking areas.

The use of an approved means to clean all highways in the vicinity of the site.

The cleaning of all gullies in the area of the construction works and on roads used for

access, during and at the end of construction period.

Lighting

4.72 During the construction phase the temporary site lighting will adhere to the best practice

guidance outlined in Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Light Pollution (Institution of

Lighting Engineers, 2000) including the following:

Lighting will be switched off when not required for safety or security;

Temporary lighting will be directed into the site away from residential areas;

Wherever possible lighting will be directed downwards to illuminate the target area to

reduce spill light to a minimum;

Specifically designed lighting equipment will be installed to minimise the spread of

light near to or above the horizontal;

To keep glare to a minimum, the main beam angle of all lights directed towards any

potential observer will be kept below 70 degrees. Higher mountings used for the

lighting will lower the main beam angle reducing potential glare;

Wherever practicable, floodlights with asymmetric beams will be used.

All lighting related to the works will be designed and fitted to minimise light intrusion

onto any sensitive habitat such as hedgerows, mature trees and woodland; and

The use of visual screening, such as hoardings between more sensitive visual

receptors and construction light sources in proximity to the Application Site.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

In February 2018 IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd commissioned Middlemarch Environmental Ltd to produce a Construction Ecological Management Plan (CEcMP) in order to control adverse ecological effects associated with a Proposed Development located on land adjacent to Junction 11 of the M42 in Leicestershire. This CEcMP is required to inform a planning application associated with the Proposed Development. Middlemarch Environmental Ltd completed the following surveys for IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd at the site in 2016 and 2017:

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (Report RT-MME-122760-01 Rev A);

• Winter Bird Survey (Report RT-MME-122760-03 Rev A);

• Great Crested Newt Survey (Report RT-MME-122760-04 Rev A);

• Preliminary Ground Level Bat Roost Assessment (Report RT-MME-122760-05 Rev A);

• Breeding Bird Survey (Report RT-MME-122760-06 Rev A);

• Reptile Survey (Report RT-MME-122760-07 Rev A);

• Hedgerow Regulations (1997) Assessment (Report RT-MME-122760-08 Rev A);

• Badger Survey (Report RT-MME-122760-09 Rev A);

• Bat Activity Surveys (Report RT-MME-122760-10 Rev A); and,

• Dusk Emergence and Dawn Re-entry Bat Surveys (Report RT-MME-125340 Rev A). An Ecological Mitigation Strategy (Report RT-MME-127098-01 Rev C) was prepared by Middlemarch Environmental Ltd, to support a demolition application associated with two buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex, located within the Application Site. North West Leicestershire District Council granted a Prior Approval of Demolition Works in April 2018 (Application Reference 18/00373/DEM). Middlemarch Environmental Ltd has completed updated Dusk Emergence and Dawn Re-entry Surveys of the remaining buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex, in addition to a surveys of trees within the Application Site, during the 2018 bat activity season. An updated Badger Survey has also been completed. Middlemarch Environmental Ltd has completed the Ecology and Nature Conservation chapter of the Environmental Statement (ES) as well as a Habitat Regulations Assessment (Report RT-MME-127098-02 Rev A), a Framework Ecological Mitigation Strategy (Report RT-MME-127098-04 Rev A) and a Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (Report RT-MME-124098-05).

1.2 SCOPE OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN

The overall aim of the CEcMP is to minimise the potential impact of the construction phase of the development on the existing ecology of the site, and ensure works proceed in accordance with current wildlife legislation. It is designed specifically for implementation during the construction phase of the proposed development. This report contains the following information:

• Chapter 2: Ecological Baseline and Risk Assessment of Development

• Chapter 3: General Control of Works

• Chapter 4: Practical Measures to Avoid/Reduce Construction Impacts

• Chapter 5: Drawings.

1.3 SITE DESCRIPTION

The Application Site comprises a large, irregularly-shaped parcel of land, extending to just over 97 ha in size. The site, which is centred at Ordnance Survey Grid Reference SK 3005 1014, is located just to the west of Junction 11 of the M42 motorway, approximately 1 km west of the village of Appleby Magna and 3 km south-west of Measham. The Application Site is predominantly flat and dominated by arable farmland, contained within large open fields. Additional habitats present within the Application Site comprise scrub, open water, small pockets of broadleaved woodland and conifer plantation, pockets of tall ruderal, patches of ephemeral and short perennial vegetation and very well-maintained boundary hedgerows.



The Application Site is delineated by the A444 along its eastern boundary. To the north, land use is largely composed of further areas of extensive arable farmland, but also includes Moxon’s Plantation, a large triangular block of broadleaved woodland. To the west are further large fields under arable cultivation, with another large block of woodland a prominent feature, together with a large solar farm. The southern limit of the Application Site is formed by the B5493, edged by broad grass verges, mature hedgerows and linear scrub. Further arable farmland is the dominant habitat beyond to the south. The Application Site is located within a predominately rural area in the south-western corner of the county of Leicestershire, close to the county boundary with Warwickshire.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT

The proposals for the site comprise: ‘…the development of land including the demolition of all existing on-site buildings and structures and levelling and re-grading of the site, and including: the construction of a distribution campus (use class B8), with ancillary offices (class B1a), associated gatehouse and other ancillary uses, new electricity sub-station and new pumping station, creation of new accesses from the B5493, internal roadways, cycleways and footpaths, yard space, car parking and circulation, associated lighting and security measures, surface water attenuation, and landscaping (full); and additional use class B1c, B2 and B8 class employment with ancillary offices (class B1a) and associated commercial and amenity uses (outline with all matters reserved except vehicular access from the B5493 and re-grading of site).’

2. ECOLOGICAL BASELINE AND RISK ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT

This chapter provides a summary of the existing ecological baseline of the Application Site, and how this baseline could be impacted upon in the absence of appropriate mitigation and control measures. Legislation relevant to the ecological features present within the Application Site is summarised in Appendix 1.

2.1 NATURE CONSERVATION SITES

2.1.1 Statutory Nature Conservation Sites The desk study completed as part of the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (Report RT-MME-122760-01 Rev A) in 2016 identified one European statutory nature conservation site within a 5 km radius of the Application Site: the River Mease Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which is also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). No UK statutory sites were identified within a 2 km radius. Due to the proximity of the River Mease SAC to the Application Site, a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA): Stage 1 Screening study has been undertaken. This study identified that the known areas of vulnerability of this SAC are:

• Pollution to groundwater (point sources and diffuse sources);

• Invasive non-native species; and,

• Human induced changes in hydraulic conditions. With regards to the construction phase, there will be no pathways through which point source pollution of groundwater can occur, as there will be no requirement for the use of any fixed facilities from which pollutants are discharged into groundwater within the River Mease catchment area. Although there is the potential for polluted run-off (e.g. oil, dust) arising during the construction phase works to contribute to wider diffuse pollution in the area, given the temporary nature of the proposed works, the likelihood of any localised pollution impacting upon the favourable conservation status of the SAC as a whole is very low. Provided that the measures in Chapters 3 and 4 are implemented, diffuse pollution of groundwater can be avoided, and no impacts on the River Mease SAC are anticipated. Given the distance between the River Mease SAC and the Application Site, the construction phase is not anticipated to result in the spread of invasive non-native species within the SAC, or cause any changes in hydraulic conditions. 2.1.2 Non-Statutory Nature Conservation Sites Desk study data provided by Leicestershire and Rutland Environmental Records Centre and Warwickshire Biological Records Centre included records for UK non-statutory nature conservation sites within a 2 km radius of the Application Site. Leicestershire and Rutland Environmental Records Centre provided updated desk study data in April 2018. Non-statutory nature conservation sites located in proximity to the Application Site are as follows:

• 14 Candidate Local Wildlife Sites (cLWS), which are known through survey data to meet the LWS criteria, but have not been through the formal notification process for designation as a LWS;

• Nine Potential Local Wildlife Sites (pLWS), that are likely to meet the LWS criteria, but further survey is needed to confirm this;

• 21 Potential Historical Local Wildlife Sites (hLWS), which were previously designated under the Parish, District and County system, and for which there is no recent survey data and it is not known if the site still has value; and,

• Three ungraded sites, including two Ecosites. Five of these non-statutory sites are situated within the Application Site, as follows:

• Stretton Wet Woodland Candidate Local Wildlife Site (cLWS);

• Stretton Hedge Ash 1 cLWS;

• Stretton Hedge Ash 2 cLWS;

• Stretton en le Field, pond east of New Covert Potential Historic Local Wildlife Site (hLWS);

• Pond hLWS;



The two ponds (Stretton en le Field, pond east of New Covert hLWS and Pond hLWS) are to be lost to accommodate the Proposed Development. There is also the potential for all or part of Stretton Wet Woodland cLWS to be lost. Stretton Hedge Ash 1 cLWS and Stretton Hedge Ash 2 cLWS will be retained. Two further non-statutory nature conservation sites, Moxon’s Plantation cLWS and A444 Roadside Verge, Bank Grassland cLWS, are located outside of, but adjacent to, the Application Site boundary. The EcIA recognised that these sites could be subject to damage, disturbance and / or pollution during construction works, leading to localised degradation and the possible loss of non-statutory sites of County importance. The remaining non-statutory sites identified within the desk study are considered to be too distant from the Application Site, with limited or no connectivity, and as such no impacts on these sites are anticipated.

2.2 HABITATS

As part of the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (Report RT-MME-122760-01 Rev A) carried out by Middlemarch Environmental Ltd, an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey of the Application Site was undertaken in September and October 2016. The following habitats have been recorded within the Application Site boundary:

• Amenity grassland;

• Arable;

• Bare ground:

• Boundaries (including hedgerows);

• Buildings;

• Conifer plantation;

• Dense scrub;

• Ditches;

• Ephemeral / short perennial;

• Hardstanding;

• Marshy grassland;

• Open water;

• Poor semi-improved grassland;

• Semi-natural broadleaved woodland;

• Scattered trees; and,

• Tall ruderal. Of these habitats, the hedgerows (classed under boundaries), marshy grassland, open water, scattered trees and semi-natural broadleaved woodland are considered to be of greatest ecological importance. Hedgerows, Semi-Natural Broadleaved Woodland and Scattered Trees Hedgerows and semi-natural broadleaved woodland are Habitats of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England and are listed on the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP). A total of 15 of the hedgerows within the Application Site were found to be ‘Important’ in accordance with at least one of the wildlife and landscape criteria of the Hedgerow Regulations (1997). ‘Mature trees’ are a LBAP priority habitat, and several of the scattered trees within the Application Site are considered to meet the criteria for LWS selection in accordance with the Leicestershire County Council (2011) guidelines. The Proposed Development will result in the loss of c. 1,780 m of hedgerow from the Application Site, of which c. 1,230 m is ‘Important’ hedgerow. In addition, c. 0.24 ha of semi-natural broadleaved woodland and several mature trees will be lost. Hedgerows, scattered trees and semi-natural broadleaved woodland around the peripheries of the Application Site are proposed to be retained. In the absence of mitigation, ground works and use of operational machinery during the construction phase could result in the physical damage or disturbance of these retained habitats, through compaction of soils and damage to the root stock. In addition, there is the



potential for hedgerows, scattered trees and semi-natural broadleaved woodland to be temporarily adversely impacted during the construction phase as a result of a localised increase in air pollutants (e.g nitrogen and dust deposition) from construction traffic and activities. Marshy Grassland and Open Water An area of marshy grassland located within the north-western part of the Application Site corresponds with the hLWS ‘Stretton en le Field, pond east of New Covert’. At the time of the Phase 1 Habitat Survey, this comprised a damp hollow, the eastern side of which was dominated by scrub, whilst the western part comprised soft rush, with great willowherb, bittersweet and coarse grass species. A pond located to the west of the farmhouse complex corresponds with the hLWS ‘Pond’. At the time of the Phase 1 Habitat Survey, this pond had a very shallow depth of water, with extensive exposed mud and silt present. A small amount of yellow flag iris and soft-rush occurred along the pond margins. The pond possessed steeply rising banks, dominated by common tall ruderal species, with significant shading caused by a block of hawthorn, sallow and blackthorn. Two further ponds are present within the Application Site. A heavily shaded pond, which was devoid of water at the time of the Phase 1 Habitat Survey, is located within an area of semi-natural broadleaved woodland along the western boundary, whilst a small, lined formal garden pond is situated next to the farmhouse within the Hill Top Farm complex. Overall, the ponds within the Application Site are considered to be of generally low quality, heavily shaded and possessing limited or no water and are considered unlikely to meet the criteria to be classed as Habitats of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England. However, the waterbodies holding water meet the criteria to be classed as ‘Eutrophic Standing Water’, a Local BAP priority habitat. As stated in Section 2.1, ‘Stretton en le Field, pond east of New Covert’ hLWS (marshy grassland) and ‘Pond’ (open water) will be lost to accommodate the Proposed Development. The small pond located next to the farmhouse will also be lost. However, the pond located along the western boundary of the Application Site will be retained within the landscaped area of the Proposed Development. There is the potential for this pond to be damaged by run-off / pollution during the construction phase of the Proposed Development. Other habitat (ditches) The ditches found across the Application Site tended to be associated with hedgerows, or former hedgerow boundaries. Although not a Habitat of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England or a LBAP priority habitat, ditches do provide valuable connective corridors through the landscape. Ditches within the central area of the Application Site will be lost as a result of the Proposed Development. Retained ditches located around the peripheries of the Application Site may be damaged by run-off / pollution during the construction phase of the Proposed Development. Other habitat (amenity grassland, arable, coniferous plantation woodland, ephemeral / short perennial, introduced shrub, poor semi-improved grassland, scrub and tall ruderal) The Application Site was dominated by arable habitat. The amenity grassland and introduced shrub were located in proximity to the farmhouse, whilst the ephemeral / short perennial, poor semi-improved grassland, scrub and tall ruderal tended to be associated with field margins. A small conifer plantation was located in the northern part of the Application Site. Although these habitats are of low or very low importance, quality and rarity on a local scale and can be easily replaced, they contribute to the ecological and structural diversity within the Application Site. These habitats will be lost to accommodate the Proposed Development. These habitats also have the potential to support protected / notable species, which are discussed further in Section 2.3. The remaining habitats recorded within the Application Site (bare ground, buildings and hardstanding) are considered to be of negligible intrinsic ecological value. They are not discussed further within this assessment. In cases where habitats of negligible intrinsic ecological value may support protected / notable species, these are discussed in Section 2.3 below.

2.3 SPECIES

Desk study records provided by Warwickshire Biological Records Centre, Leicestershire and Rutland Environmental Records Centre and Staffordshire Ecological Record and subsequent survey work completed



by Middlemarch Environmental Ltd in 2016 and 2017 have identified the following protected and notable species of relevance to the Proposed Development: Bats The desk study revealed records of at least five species of bat within a 2 km radius of the Application Site, comprising common pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle, noctule, brown long-eared bat and an unidentifed Myotis species, The most recent records dated from 2013 and the nearest records were attributable to common pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle and the unidentified Myotis species, located 870 m south-east of the Application Site. The suite of bat surveys undertaken at the Application Site to date, have confirmed the following:

• Building 3 supports a day roost used by a low number of common pipistrelle bats;

• Building 4 supports a day roost used by a low number of brown long-eared bats and a day roost used by a low number of whiskered bats;

• Building 5, although it does not support any bat roosts, provides a linking feature for bats roosting in Buildings 3 and 4; and,

• A total of 25 individual trees (predominantly ash or oak) and seven tree groups (comprising ash, crack willow, pine, oak, beech, sycamore and/or field maple) have moderate, moderate-high or high potential to support roosting bats, but no bat roosts in trees have been identified.

During Bat Activity Surveys, ten species of bat (common pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle, Nathusius’ pipistrelle, noctule, Leisler’s bat, Daubenton’s bat, whiskered/Brandt’s bat, Natterer’s bat, serotine and brown long-eared bat) were recorded using the habitats within the Application Site for foraging and commuting purposes, with activity concentrated around vegetation along the northern boundary of the Application Site and in proximity to the Hill Top Farm complex. The Bat Activity Surveys indicated that roosts for soprano pipistrelle and noctule may be present in proximity to the Application Site, although noctules do not appear to utilise the habitats within the Application Site frequently and are instead considered to be commuting across the Application Site to suitable foraging grounds elsewhere. The habitats within and adjacent to the Application Site do, however, appear to provide an important foraging resource for common pipistrelle and soprano pipistrelle. As stated in Section 1.1, Middlemarch Environmental Ltd prepared an Ecological Mitigation Strategy (Report RT-MME-127098-01 Rev C) to allow for the demolition of two buildings (Buildings 7 and 8) within the Hill Top Farm complex, which were confirmed not to support roosting bats. North West Leicestershire District Council granted a Prior Approval of Demolition Works in April 2018 (Application Reference 18/00373/DEM) and it is understood that demolition works have been completed. All remaining buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex will be lost to accommodate the Proposed Development. In the absence of mitigation, loss of a bat roost would be in breach of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). There is the potential for roosts present within retained trees to be disturbed as a result of vibration, noise and illumination during the construction phase of the Proposed Development. In addition, loss or fragmentation of habitats within the Application Site as a result of the Proposed Development may reduce the available foraging resource for bats in the local area, and increases in illumination are likely to impact on rarer and more light-sensitive bat species, such as Nathusius’ pipistrelle, and Myotis species. Badger The desk study identified seven records of badgers within a 2 km radius of the Application Site, with the most recent records dating from 2013. Conclusive evidence of badger, including two setts (Sett 1 and Sett 2), was identified during the Phase 1 Habitat Survey. Monitoring undertaken as part of the Badger Survey in 2017 and during updated survey work in 2018 found that Sett 1, which is located along the southern boundary of the Application Site, comprised three entrances, of which two appeared to be in current use. This small sett, with no obvious associated mammal pathways, is considered to be a subsidiary or outlier sett. It will be possible to retain this Sett 1 within the landscaped area of the Proposed Development, although there is the potential for this sett to be disturbed during construction works. Sett 2, located within an area of dense scrub towards the north-western corner of the Application Site, was found to comprise at least ten entrances, with two confirmed to be in current use by badger in 2017. Several



of the entrances exhibited evidence of rabbit activity. A well-worn mammal pathway leads in a northerly direction from this sett. During an updated assessment completed in June 2018, it was concluded that due to the low levels of current use, this sett is likely to be a subsidiary sett. This sett will be lost to accommodate the Proposed Development, which, in the absence of mitigation, would be in breach of the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. In addition to sett loss and disturbance, works within the site could also result in the following impacts on badgers: fragmentation of foraging or commuting habitat; loss of foraging habitats; increased risk of mortality; and harm due to open excavations with the potential to trap badgers. Hedgehog No records of hedgehog were identified in the desk study. However, the semi-natural broadleaved woodland, hedgerows, dense scrub and grassland all provide suitable habitat for hedgehogs, and the presence of this species within the Application Site cannot be ruled out. Hedgehogs could be impacted during the construction phase of the Proposed Development if these habitats are lost or disturbed. Common Amphibians The desk study included seven records of great crested newt and three records of smooth newt, with the most recent records dating from 2014 and 2013, respectively. The nearest record of great crested newt was located 300 m east of the Application Site, whilst the nearest record for smooth newt was located 580 m south-east. Of the 20 ponds within a 500 m radius of the Application Site identified using Ordnance Survey mapped data:

• Five (P6, P16, P17, P18 and P19) were scoped out of further assessment due to being separated from the Application Site by major roads, considered to present a barrier to newt dispersal;

• Two (P7 and P13) were found not to be present; and,

• Two (P14 and P15) found to be damp ditches and three (P8, P9 and P11) which were dry at the time of the surveys were deemed to be unsuitable for great crested newts.

Eight ponds (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P10, P12 and P20) were subject to a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) Assessment, after which Ponds P5 and P10 were scoped out of further assessment. Both ponds were classed as having ‘Poor’ suitability to support great crested newts. Pond P5 is located 500 m from the Application Site and is separated by intensively managed farmland. Pond P10 was dry at the time of the HSI assessment, and was considered generally unsuitable to support great crested newts. No great crested newts were recorded in the remaining six ponds which were subject to presence / absence surveys and as such, no impacts are anticipated on this species as a result of the Proposed Development. However, smooth newts were recorded in Ponds P2 and P12, whilst common toads were recorded in Pond P3. Ponds P2 and P3 are located within the Application Site. There is the potential for individual common amphibians to be killed or injured during site clearance works. Breeding and Wintering Birds Two nature conservation sites of ornithological interest were identified in the desk study: Newton Gorse Nature Reserve, located 1.9 km south-west of the Application Site, in which wintering woodcock has been recorded, and Sandy Lane Spinney, which is located 2 km west of the Application Site and supports a large population of pheasants. Records of eight bird species listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) (brambling, fieldfare, greenshank, Eurasian hobby, quail, red kite, kingfisher and redwing) were also identified in the desk study, along with records of 15 bird species listed as Species of Principal Importance, including corn bunting, grey partridge lapwing, linnet, skylark, tree sparrow and yellowhammer, all declining farmland bird species and Birds of Conservation Concern 4 Red List species. During the Winter Bird Survey, carried out between November 2016 and February 2017, over 30 bird species were recorded across the Application Site, with young areas of oilseed rape appearing to provide the most valuable habitat for declining farmland bird species. The perimeter hedgerows were found to support a range of species. Based on the results of the Winter Bird Surveys, the Application Site is considered to be of moderate importance to wintering birds overall, and supports a notable concentration of skylark, a Species of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England and a Birds of Conservation Concern 4 Red List



species. The construction phase of the Proposed Development has the potential to disturb or displace wintering birds utilising habitats within the Application Site, although suitable habitat is present within the surrounding landscape. During the Breeding Bird Survey, a total of 35 species of bird were recorded breeding within the Application Site, of which nine are Species of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England. The Application Site is considered to be of local / district interest for breeding birds, with the presence of declining farmland species (linnet, reed bunting, skylark, yellowhammer and yellow wagtail) the most notable finding of the survey. Buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex were found to support at least eight breeding pairs of swallow, as well as breeding pairs of house sparrow and stock dove. The Proposed Devleopment is likely to result in the displacement of breeding farmland birds from the Application Site, although suitable habitat is widespread in the area. Breeding sites for swallow, house sparrow and stock dove will be lost when the buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex are demolished. In addition, the construction phase of the Proposed Development could cause direct disturbance or harm to breeding birds if timed to occur within the nesting season, which would be in breach of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). Other Species Brown hare Although brown hares have not been recorded during the survey visits, the arable land within the Application Site provides suitable habitat for this species. Although brown hares are likely to be displaced from the Application Site as a result of the Proposed Development, suitable habitat is extensive in the surrounding landscape. The EIA scoping exercise concluded that the Proposed Development would not have a significant effect on the favourable conservation status of local brown hare populations, and as such this species was excluded from further assessment. Reptiles No evidence of reptiles was identified during the survey work completed in 2017, and as such it is considered that this species group is not present within the Application Site. The following species / species groups have been scoped out of further assessment due to a lack of desk study records and / or the absence of suitable habitats within the Application Site and its surroundings: fish, notable invertebrates, otter, water vole, dormouse, pine marten, polecat, red squirrel, stag beetle and white-clawed crayfish.

2.4 SUMMARY

The biodiversity risk assessment presented in Sections 2.1 to 2.3 has identified the following key ecological features that could be subject to adverse impacts in the absence of mitigation or control measures during the construction phase of Proposed Development:

• Nature Conservation Sites: River Mease SAC / SSSI; Stretton Wet Woodland cLWS; Stretton Hedge Ash 1 cLWS; Stretton Hedge Ash 2 cLWS; Moxon’s Plantation cLWS; and, A444 Roadside Verge, Bank Grassland cLWS.

• Habitats to be retained: hedgerows, woodland, scattered trees, standing water and ditches; and,

• Species: bats, badger, hedgehog, common amphibians and breeding and wintering birds. General control measures are detailed in Chapter 3. Mitigation measures to avoid impacts on retained nature conservation sites, retained habitats and protected and notable species are provided in Chapter 4.



3. GENERAL CONTROL OF WORKS

This section of the report provides information with respect to the methods that will be implemented during the construction phase, in order to ensure the protection of ecologically sensitive habitats within the Application Site and to prevent significant adverse impacts on any notable species present.

3.1 ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT TEAM

The overall responsibility for ensuring construction works proceed in accordance with the CEcMP will lie with IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd or a suitable delegate from IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd in the event of their absence. IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd will appoint an Ecological Manager. The responsibilities of the Ecological Manager will include developing method statements and site protocols as required, providing guidance for the site team in dealing with environmental matters, and liaising with contractors/sub-contractors and any statutory or third party with an ecological interest in the scheme. The Ecological Manager will ensure that all site personnel are appropriately briefed on the ecological issues within the site. This will be undertaken through inclusion of ecological briefings within the ‘toolbox’ talks given to all staff as part of the site induction process. A suitably qualified Ecological Clerk of Works will be appointed by IMP Hill Top Estates Ltd to advise and oversee construction activities where appropriate, and ensure the site team and sub-contractors comply with site protocols and control/mitigation measures. Any failings will be reported to the Project Manager immediately, who will be responsible for ensuring that remedial action is implemented. The Ecological Clerk of Works will be responsible to the Ecological Manager and will approve all method statements, in addition to ensuring that any relevant site environmental protocols and are appended and that these controls are adhered to. The ecological management team for this project is summarised in Table 3.1.

3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION ZONES

In order to categorise the Application Site according to ecological risk and to identify areas where certain construction activities are prohibited or restricted, a traffic light system will be implemented. The site has been divided into Red, Amber and Green Zones, with Red Zones being those areas of highest biodiversity interest and of greatest risk from construction. The areas of the Application Site falling into each of the Biodiversity Protection Zones are detailed in Sections 3.2.1 to 3.2.3, and are shown on Drawing C127098-04-01 in Chapter 5. 3.2.1 Red Zones / Features Red Zones are defined as the most ecologically sensitive parts of the Application Site, or the areas most vulnerable to ecological damage. This category comprises the following features:

• Stretton Hedge Ash 1 cLWS, Stretton Hedge Ash 2 cLWS and Stretton Wet Woodland cLWS; and,

• Habitats to be retained (Hedgerows, plantation woodland, scattered trees and standing water).

Red Zones are the areas that will be retained and protected throughout the Proposed Development works, and works will be subject to ongoing monitoring by the Ecological Clerk of Works (see Section 3.1). Measures that will be implemented to ensure that Red Zones are protected are summarised in Chapter 4.



In addition to the Red Zones listed above, the following features are classed as Red Zones, until relevant licenses from Natural England are in place, at which point they will be downgraded to Amber and works will proceed in accordance with approved Method Statements:

• Buildings 3 and 4, confirmed to support bats roosts and Building 5, which provides a linking feature for roosting bats; and,

• Habitats within a 30 m radius of the badger setts (Sett 1 and Sett 2). The 30 m radius around Sett 2 encompasses ‘Stretton en le Field, pond east of New Covert’ hLWS / the area of marshy grassland.

3.2.2 Amber Zones / Features Amber Zones are defined as areas of moderate to high ecological value that may be subject to direct or indirect impacts as a result of the Proposed Development and / or have the potential to support protected or notable species. This category consists of the following features:

• ‘Pond’ hLWS, which will be drained / removed;

• Additional standing water to be drained / removed;

• Hedgerows, semi-natural woodland and scattered trees (without bat roost potential) to be removed; and,

• Ditches, amenity grassland, arable, coniferous plantation woodland, ephemeral / short perennial, introduced shrub, poor semi-improved grassland, scrub and tall ruderal.

Any works impacting upon Amber Zones will be subject to control measures (see Chapter 4), and will be undertaken under the supervision or guidance of the Ecological Clerk of Works. Once works within the Amber Zones have been completed, the Ecological Clerk of Works may downgrade these areas to Green Zones (Section 3.3). All works within Amber Zones should proceed with caution, and should be subject to regular monitoring by the Ecological Clerk of Works. Specific mitigation and control proposals that will be implemented to minimise the ecological impact of work in Amber Zones are detailed in Chapter 4. 3.2.3 Green Zones / Features Green Zones are areas identified as having low ecological interest where breaches of wildlife legislation are unlikely to occur. They are of low intrinsic value, and do not offer any key habitat for notable or protected species. This category consists of the following features:

• Bare ground and hardstanding;

• Buildings within the Hill Top Farm complex with negligible potential to support roosting bats. Works within Green Zones are permitted to proceed without supervision by the Ecological Clerk of Works, provided that ecological best practice is adhered to at all times. Should any ecological issues be identified, works will cease and the Ecological Clerk of Works will be contacted for advice.

3.3 QUALITY CONTROL

3.3.1 Site Inductions / Toolbox Talks All personnel on site will receive a site induction prior to commencing any work activities. The site induction will highlight key issues, operations, times of year and areas in relation to ecology. The induction will include:

• Awareness of the Biodiversity Protection Zones Map (see Drawing C125673-01-01 in Chapter 5);

• Site activity method statements;

• Reporting hierarchy; and,

• Permit system. 3.3.2 Ecological Permits Ecological Permits will be required for working in Red or Amber Zones. These will be valid for specific time periods and should be renewed at least once a month. 3.3.3 Ecological Certificates Once an activity has been completed or work in a designated area is finished, a certificate will be signed by the Ecological Manager to confirm it has been carried out to an acceptable standard. 3.3.4 Rectification Notices Rectification notices will be issued by the Ecological Clerk of Works to the Site Manager or a representative of the site team for implementation of action required. These will be signed on completion by the site



manager or a representative of the site team and counter signed by the Ecological Manger or Ecological Clerk of Works. 3.3.5 Daily Record Sheets The Ecological Clerk of Works will record activities and observations onto a record sheet during visits to the site. 3.3.6 Progress Report The Ecological Manager will produce a monthly report based on the record sheets, highlighting any issues raised during the programme. The report will include copies of:

• Ecological Permits;

• Ecological Certificates; and,

• Rectification Notices. 3.3.7 Revisions to Scheme Should the need to amend any details of the scheme arise, such as the proposed methods of working or the extent of the works, the proposed changes will be approved in writing by the Ecological Clerk of Works prior to implementation, and also by the Local Planning Authority if required. 3.3.8 Access to Ecological Reports Hard copies of all ecological baseline reports will be kept in the Site Office during the construction period.



4. PRACTICAL MEASURES TO AVOID/REDUCE CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS

This chapter details practical measures that will be implemented to ensure that biodiversity features within the Application Site are protected at all times throughout the construction process.

4.1 USE OF PROTECTIVE FENCING / BARRIERS

The following protective fencing / barriers are required:

• Fencing will be required to demarcate the boundaries of construction areas throughout the construction works period, to prevent encroachment into habitats outside of these areas.

• Hedgerows, plantation woodland and scattered trees within and adjacent to the Proposed Development areas to be scheduled for retention will be protected during the proposed development works by the installation of protective fencing (e.g. Heras fencing). This fencing should ensure the integrity of the Root Protection Area of the trees, and should meet the requirements of British Standard 5837: 2012 "Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction - recommendations". Protection should be installed on site prior to the commencement of works.

All fencing and barriers should be installed prior to works commencing on site and under the supervision of the Ecological or Aboricultural Clerk of Works. The fencing will be temporary, but sufficiently robust to prevent accidental incursions into the protected areas.

4.2 STORAGE OF MATERIALS

No storage of materials is permitted within proximity to retained waterbodies or other valuable retained habitat features (hedgerows and scattered trees). Areas to be used for storage of materials will be agreed with the Ecological Clerk of Works and will be within habitats of negligible ecological value.

4.3 POLLUTION PREVENTION

Environment Agency Pollution Prevention Guidelines, including those relating to works and maintenance in or near water were formerly withdrawn in December 2015. Guidance on Pollution Prevention for Businesses is provided at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pollution-prevention-for-businesses. These guidelines provide a framework for the design of working practices to avoid pollution and should be followed throughout the construction period. No bulk storage of fuel and other liquids will be permitted within the Application Site. Fuels and other liquids which must be stored on site will be kept in bunded containers. Spill kits will be available on site and procedures will be in place to deal with any incidents efficiently and quickly.

Refueling of plant/machinery within the Application Site should be avoided. If refueling is required, then it should be undertaken as far away from ponds as possible, over a drip tray. Appropriate dust suppression measures in accordance with British Research Establishment guidance (Kukadia et al, 2003) will be put in place to reduce impacts to any species outside of the Application Site boundary.

4.4 LIGHTING

During construction, generally work will be scheduled during daylight hours. However, during exceptional circumstances outside of the bat activity season (ie between November and February), when night work is required, construction phase lighting will be confined to the minimum level of nocturnal illumination necessary to allow construction works to proceed, with no up-light illumination permitted. No additional construction phase lighting will be permitted during the bat activity season, ie between March and October. Lighting required in proximity to boundary features, which are considered to provide suitable foraging and commuting habitat for bats, should be kept to a minimum and directed away from these features.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pollution-prevention-for-businesses



4.5 NOISE AND VIBRATION

Reasonable measures should be taken to avoid significant increases in noise and vibration during construction works. Any construction works will be carried out in accordance with British Standard 5228:2009 Code of Practice for Noise and Vibration Control on Construction and Open Sites.

4.6 FIRE PREVENTION

During construction, fires will not be permitted and the work force will be made aware of the risks of accidental fires on surrounding retained habitats.

4.7 MITIGATION MEASURES FOR NATURE CONSERVATION SITES

Statutory Nature Conservation Sites To prevent impacts on the River Mease SAC / SSSI, measures relating to pollution prevention (Section 4.3) will be adhered to. Non-Statutory Nature Conservation Sites To prevent impacts on Stretton Hedge Ash 1 cLWS, Stretton Hedge Ash 2 cLWS, Moxon’s Plantation cLWS or retained sections of A444 Roadside Verge, Bank Grassland cLWS, measures relating to the use of protective fencing (Section 4.1) and pollution prevention (Section 4.3), will be adhered to.

4.8 INDIVIDUAL HABITAT / SPECIES MITIGATION STRATEGIES

4.8.1 Hedgerows, Plantation Woodland and Scattered Trees Any trees or hedgerows on site, or overhanging the Application Site, which are not to be removed as part of any proposed works, should be protected in accordance with measures outlined in Section 4.1. Where construction works require the loss, damage or management of sections of hedgerow or specific trees, then vegetation clearance will need to be undertaken in accordance with specific species mitigation strategies outlined below. 4.8.2 Standing Water Any standing water which is not to be drained / removed as part of any proposed works should be protected in accordance with measures outlined in Section 4.1. Measures regarding storage of materials (Section 4.2) and pollution prevention (Section 4.3) will be implemented to minimise impacts on retained standing water habitats. Where construction works require the loss, damage or management standing water, then these works will need to be undertaken in accordance with specific species mitigation strategies outlined below. 4.8.3 Bats

Roosting bats As outlined in the FEMS (Report RT-MME-127098-03 Rev A), a Method Statement will be prepared to support a Bat Development Licence application to Natural England. This will provide details regarding the current status of bat populations within the Application Site and how the favourable conservation status of these bat populations will be maintained. Foraging and commuting bats In order to reduce the impact of the Proposed Development on foraging and commuting bats, the following construction phase mitigation measures will be implemented:

• Hedgerows, woodland and scattered trees scheduled for retention will be protected according to the measures outlined in Section 4.1.

• Construction phase lighting, noise and vibration will be kept to a minimum, in line with the measures outlined in Sections 4.4 and 4.5.

4.8.4 Badger

Badger Setts

As outlined in the FEMS (Report RT-MME-127098-03 Rev A), an updated Badger Survey will be completed prior to any works commencing, to determine the status of badgers within the Application Site and to confirm



whether any active badger setts are present within 30 m of the Proposed Development footprint. Based on the results of this survey, an assessment will be undertaken to determine the impacts of the proposed works on badgers and, if required, a Method Statement will be prepared to support a Badger Development Licence application to Natural England. To ensure enough time is available to identify any newly excavated setts and, if necessary, monitor and close them, the updated survey will be completed approximately 13 weeks prior to any works starting on the Application Site (although consideration would also need to be given to the fact that badger setts can only be closed between July and November inclusive).

Foraging and Commuting Badger

In order to reduce the impact of the Proposed Development on foraging and commuting badgers, the following construction phase mitigation measures will be implemented:

• Any excavations which are left overnight will be covered or be fitted with ramps to prevent any harm to any terrestrial mammals which may pass through the Application Site.

• Any open pipework with an outside diameter of greater than 150 mm must be covered at the end of each work day to prevent terrestrial mammals entering/becoming trapped.

• Construction phase lighting, noise and vibration will be kept to a minimum, in line with the measures outlined in Sections 4.4 and 4.5.

4.8.5 Hedgehog Habitats within the Application Site are suitable for use by foraging and hibernating hedgehogs. To avoid adverse impacts on this species, the following measures will be implemented:

• Vegetation clearance of dense scrub and hedgerows should be avoided when hedgehogs may be hibernating. This is weather dependent, but generally considered to extend between November and February. If this is not feasible, then the Ecological Clerk of Works will check suitable areas prior to works commencing. If hedgehogs are found to be hibernating, the Ecological Clerk of Works will move them carefully into suitable undisturbed habitats away from the construction area.

• Any excavations which are left overnight will be covered or be fitted with ramps to prevent any harm to any terrestrial mammals which may pass through the Application Site.

• Any open pipework with an outside diameter of greater than 150 mm must be covered at the end of each work day to prevent terrestrial mammals entering/becoming trapped.

4.8.6 Common Amphibians

In accordance with the FEMS (Report RT-MME-127098-03 Rev A) the following pre-construction measures will be implemented to avoid and minimise impacts on amphibians:

• Pond draining in late autumn; and,

• Phased vegetation clearance, removal of refugia and supervised topsoil strip during the active season for amphibians.

The FEMS should be referred to for further details. Implementation of the following measures will ensure that there are no impacts on amphibians or reptiles during the construction period of the proposed development:

• Avoidance of creation of potential refuges within active work areas. o Amphibians will utilise stacked materials such as wood, stone, boards or metal sheets as

refuges. Active work areas should be kept tidy and materials should be stored off the ground – for example on pallets where possible. Should it be necessary to store materials such as topsoil on site, then these will be stored in raised skips, trailers or containers on raised pallets.

• Prevention of trapping fauna in open excavations. o If any excavations are required to be left open overnight, ramps will be left within them to

allow fauna to easily exit. Open excavations will be inspected at start of each day to ensure fauna have not become trapped.

• Staff awareness. o All contractors should be made aware of the potential presence of amphibians within the

Application Site during the initial site induction and regular tool box talks.



o Amphibians like to hide under refuges such as those discussed above. Staff should simply demonstrate awareness when working and moving materials. Should a common amphibian be found it should be gently moved, for example in a clean bucket, to a suitable location within habitat well away from the working area. It is important to note that all native amphibians are harmless and the best option if encountered is simply to leave the animal alone or, if it may come to harm, move it to a suitable location within habitat on the closest boundary of the site.

As a matter of general good ecological practice, an understanding of amphibians and the undertaking of sympathetic working practices will reduce the likelihood of an encounter with, or harm to, amphibian individuals. 4.8.7 Birds Nesting Birds In order to avoid any breach of legislation with regard to nesting birds, the following measures will be implemented:

• Vegetation management / clearance, including vegetation removal from arable fields (which offer potential bird nesting habitat for farmland bird species), and building demolition works, should be undertaken outside of the bird nesting season. The bird nesting season is weather dependent but generally extends between March and September inclusive (peak period March-August). If this is not possible, then any vegetation or buildings to be removed or disturbed should be checked by an experienced ecologist for nesting birds immediately prior to works commencing. If birds are found to be nesting, any works which may affect them would have to be delayed until the young have fledged and the nest has been abandoned naturally, for example via the implementation of an appropriate buffer zone (species dependent) around the nest in which no disturbance is permitted until the nest is no longer in use.

Breeding and Wintering Birds

• Hedgerows, woodland and scattered trees scheduled for retention will be protected according to the measures outlined in Section 4.1.

• Noise and vibration will be kept to a minimum, in line with the measures outlined in Section 4.5.

4.9 TIMING RESTRICTIONS

Table 4.1 details suitable timings for works to take place in order to minimise the impact of the development on sensitive ecological features.

4.10 SUPERVISION AND MONITORING BY ECOLOGICAL CLERK OF WORKS

• No disturbance of Red Zones is permitted during construction works. Habitats within a 30 m radius of any badger setts and buildings supporting bat roosts that are to be impacted by the proposed works will be downgraded from Red to Amber only once relevant Natural England licenses are in place a permit has been issued from the Environmental Manager, at which point works will commence in accordance with the appropriate Method Statements and under supervision of the Ecological Clerk of Works.

• Works within Amber Zones will be pre-approved by the Ecological Clerk of Works, and ecological supervision will be undertaken as and when required.

4.11 CONTINGENCY MEASURES

In the event of any protected species being discovered on site during the construction phase when the Ecological Clerk of Works is not present, all works will cease immediately and the Ecological Clerk of Works, Local Planning Authority and/or Natural England will be contacted to determine the most appropriate way to proceed.

APPENDICES

APPENDIX 1: Summary of Wildlife Legislation Applicable to Proposed Development APPENDIX 2: Sample Ecological Permits, Certificates and Forms



APPENDIX 1

Summary of Wildlife Legislation Application to Proposed Development Bats Bats and the places they use for shelter or protection (i.e. roosts) receive European protection under The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (Habitats Regulations 2017). They receive further legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981, as amended. This protection means that bats, and the places they use for shelter or protection, are capable of being a material consideration in the planning process. Regulation 41 of the Habitats Regulations 2017, states that a person commits an offence if they:

• deliberately capture, injure or kill a bat;

• deliberately disturb bats; or

• damage or destroy a bat roost (breeding site or resting place). Disturbance of animals includes in particular any disturbance which is likely to impair their ability to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young, or in the case of animals of a hibernating or migratory species, to hibernate or migrate; or to affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belong. It is an offence under the Habitats Regulations 2017 for any person to have in his possession or control, to transport, to sell or exchange or to offer for sale, any live or dead bats, part of a bat or anything derived from bats, which has been unlawfully taken from the wild. Whilst broadly similar to the above legislation, the WCA 1981 (as amended) differs in the following ways:

• Section 9(1) of the WCA makes it an offence to intentionally kill, injure or take any protected species.

• Section 9(4)(a) of the WCA makes it an offence to intentionally or recklessly* damage or destroy, or obstruct access to, any structure or place which a protected species uses for shelter or protection.

• Section 9(4)(b) of the WCA makes it an offence to intentionally or recklessly* disturb any protected species while it is occupying a structure or place which it uses for shelter or protection.

*Reckless offences were added by the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000. As bats re-use the same roosts (breeding site or resting place) after periods of vacancy, legal opinion is that roosts are protected whether or not bats are present. The following bat species are Species of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England: barbastelle bat Barbastella barbastellus, Bechstein’s bat Myotis bechsteinii, noctule Nyctalus noctula, soprano pipistrelle Pipistrellus pygmaeus, brown long-eared bat Plecotus auritus, greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros. The reader should refer to the original legislation for the definitive interpretation. Badgers Badgers and their setts are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. The Protection of Badgers Act 1992 is based primarily on the need to protect badgers from baiting and deliberate harm or injury, badgers are not protected for conservation reasons. The following are criminal offences:

• To intentionally or recklessly interfere with a sett. Sett interference includes disturbing badgers whilst they are occupying a sett, as well as damaging or destroying a sett or obstructing access to it.

• To wilfully kill, injure, take, possess or cruelly ill-treat a badger, or to attempt to do so.

A badger sett is defined in the legislation as:

• ‘Any structure or place that displays signs indicating current use by a badger’. ‘Current use’ is not synonymous with current occupation and a sett is defined as such (and thus protected) as long as signs of current usage are present. Therefore, a sett is protected until such a time as the field signs deteriorate to such an extent that they no longer indicate ‘current usage’. Badger sett interference can result from a multitude of operations including excavation and coring, even if there is no direct damage to the sett, such as through the disturbance of badgers whilst occupying the sett.



Any intentional or reckless work that results in the interference of badger setts is illegal without a licence from Natural England30. In England a licence must be obtained from Natural England before any interference with a badger sett occurs. The reader should refer to the original legislation for the definitive interpretation. Hedgehog Hedgehogs receive some protection under Schedule 6 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended); this section of the Act lists animals which may not be killed or taken by certain methods, namely traps and nets, poisons, automatic weapons, electrical devices, smokes/gases and various others. Humane trapping for research purposes requires a licence. Hedgehogs are a Species of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England and are thus capable of being material considerations in the planning process. Nesting Birds The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (Habitats Regulations 2017) places a duty on public bodies to take measures to preserve, maintain and re-establish habitat for wild birds. Nesting and nest building birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act WCA 1981 (as amended). Subject to the provisions of the act, if any person intentionally:

• kills, injures or takes any wild bird;

• takes, damages or destroys the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built; or

• takes or destroys an egg of any wild bird, he shall be guilty of an offence. Some species (listed in Schedule 1 of the WCA) are protected by special penalties. Subject to the provisions of the act, if any person intentionally or recklessly:

• disturbs any wild bird included in Schedule 1 while it is building a nest or is in, on or near a nest containing eggs or young; or

• disturbs dependent young of such a bird, he shall be guilty of an offence. Several bird species are Species of Principal Importance for Nature Conservation in England, making them capable of being material considerations in the planning process.

Best Environmental Option

REDUCTION - The first priority is to reduce the production of waste to the minimum. Priority should be given to minimising the hazardous components of

waste, and eliminating certain types of hazardous materials entirely from the waste stream, eg PCBs and heavy metals.

RE-USE - The second level is to re-use, that is putting material back into use rather than them enter the waste

stream.

RECOVERY - The third level is recovery, this includes firstly recycling, then composting and finally recovery of energy from waste. Whilst recycling is the preferred option the choice determined by the Best Practical Environmental Option.

DISPOSAL - At the bottom of the hierarchy, disposal is the least attractive waste management option. Disposal options include landfilling, incineration without energy recovery, specialised destruction and permanent storage.

If ‘Yes’, what action have you taken / do you propose to take?

If ‘no’, why not?

Design

1 Where relevant, has permission to discharge to controlled waters been obtained from EA / SEPA?

2 Has agreement been sought from the sewage company for trade effluent discharge?

3

Have opportunities been considered for reducing the necessity for waste disposal? For example: Can material cutting be minimised? Is pre-fabrication an option? Are construction materials durable i.e., Whole

Life Costings? Can the wastes remain on-site? Can design avoid the removal of contaminated

materials? Can contaminated materials be treated on-site

for reuse?

4

Have opportunities been considered for reusing materials on-site? For example: Can inert excavated materials be reused as fill

for landscaping / noise barriers on site? Can inert excavated materials created from

2.0 ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS:

2.1 Planning of site operations should take sufficient account of wide or tall loads, or plant

with booms, jibs or counterweights (including drilling & piling rigs) tin order that they can

operate without coming into contact with retained tree. The transit or traverse of plant in

proximity to trees shall be conducted under supervision of a banksman to ensure adequate

clearance from trees is maintained at all times. Access facilitation pruning as agreed with

the project arboriculturalist and/or local authority should be undertaken where necessary to

maintain clearance. NB Works to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order or within a

Conservation Area will need approval by the local authority.

2.2 Any materials whose accidental spillage would cause damage to a tree should be

stored and handled well away from the outer edge of its RPA e.g. concrete mixings, diesel

oil and vehicle washings. Allowances shall be made for sloping ground to avoid damaging

materials running towards retained trees.

2.3 Fires on sites should be avoided. Where they are unavoidable, they should not be lit in

a position where heat could affect foliage or branches. The potential size of a fire and wind

direction should be taken into account when determining its location, and should be

attended at all times until safe to leave.

2.4 Trees are not to be used as anchorages for equipment, or for other purposes. Notice

boards, telephone cables, or other services should not be attached to any part of the tree.

2.5 The dumping of spoil or rubbish, placing of temporary accommodation and storage of

materials within the root protection area is prohibited.

2.6 The change of ground level, excavating, stripping or disturbing topsoil within the RPA

is prohibited.

1.0 PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS:

1.1 PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT: all trees that are being retained onsite shall be

protected by barriers and / or ground protection before any materials or machinery are

brought onto the site, and before any demolition, development or stripping of soil

commences. The 'Root Protection Area' (RPA) associated with existing trees designated

for retention shall be protected from damage by erection of scaffold framework barriers in

accordance BS 5837:2012 Figure 2 including where specified appropriate ground

protection.

1.2 EXTENT OF ROOT PROTECTION AREA (RPA): as shown on the Tree Protection

Plan (TPP) the RPA is generally to be in accordance with Annex D, Table D.1 'Root

Protection Area.' - as an area equivalent to a circle radius 12 times the stem diameter

(single stem trees) or based on the combined stem diameter for multistem trees (trees with

more than one stem arising below 1.5m above ground level) refer to Clause 4.6.

1.3 TREE PROTECTION BARRIER: a vertical and horizontal scaffold framework, well

braced to resist impacts as illustrated below (refer to Figure 2 of BS5837:2012). The

vertical tubes should be spaced at a maximum interval of 3 metres and driven securely into

the ground. Care should be taken to avoid underground services and contact with

structural roots. In the presence of underground services, retained hard surfacing or where

special circumstances dictate an alternative specification as illustrated in Figure 3 of

BS5837:2012 may be acceptable subject to agreement with the project arboriculturalist

and the local planning authority.

All weather site notices should be attached to the barrier with words such as

"CONSTRUCTION EXCLUSION ZONE - NO ACCESS". Once installed barriers and

ground protection shall be not be removed or altered without prior approval of the project

arboriculturalist and where necessary approval form the local planning authority.

TREE PROTECTION NOTES:

'Trees in relation to design demolition and construction' BS5837:2012

TREE PROTECTION FENCE: Orange 'Netlon' fencing attached to

driven timber posts to protect hedging and where the default level of

fencing (above) is not required.

TREE REMOVAL: trees to be removed to enable construction.

TREE PROTECTION FENCE: to be constructed in accordance with

BS5837 prior to commencement.

3.0 GROUND PROTECTION DURING DEMOLITION & CONSTRUCTION

3.1 Where construction working space or temporary construction access is specified

within the RPA, this should be facilitated by a set-back in the alignment of the tree

protection barrier. In such areas, suitable existing hard surfacing that is not proposed for

re-use as part of the finished design should be retained to act as temporary ground

protection during construction, rather than being removed during demolition. The suitability

of such surfacing for this purpose should be evaluated by the project arboriculturist and an

engineer as appropriate.

3.2 Where the set-back of the tree protection barrier exposes unmade ground to

construction damage, new temporary ground protection should be installed as part of the

implementation of physical tree protection measures prior to work starting on site.

3.3 New temporary ground protection should be capable of supporting any traffic entering

or using the site without being distorted or causing compaction of underlying soil, for

example;

a) for pedestrian movements only, a single thickness of scaffold boards placed either on

top of a driven scaffold frame, so as to form a suspended walkway, or on top of a

compression-resistant layer (e.g. 100 mm depth of woodchip), laid onto a geotextile

membrane;

b) for pedestrian-operated plant up to a gross weight of 2 t, proprietary, inter-linked ground

protection boards placed on top of a compression-resistant layer (e.g. 150 mm depth of

woodchip), laid onto a geotextile membrane;

c) for wheeled or tracked construction traffic exceeding 2 t gross weight, an alternative

system (e.g. proprietary systems or pre-cast reinforced concrete slabs) to an engineering

specification designed in conjunction with arboricultural advice, to accommodate the likely

loading to which it will be subjected. If necessary sand should be laid on the ground as a

compressible layer.

2.0 ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS:

2.1 Planning of site operations should take sufficient account of wide or tall loads, or plant

with booms, jibs or counterweights (including drilling & piling rigs) tin order that they can

operate without coming into contact with retained tree. The transit or traverse of plant in

proximity to trees shall be conducted under supervision of a banksman to ensure adequate

clearance from trees is maintained at all times. Access facilitation pruning as agreed with

the project arboriculturalist and/or local authority should be undertaken where necessary to

maintain clearance. NB Works to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order or within a

Conservation Area will need approval by the local authority.

2.2 Any materials whose accidental spillage would cause damage to a tree should be

stored and handled well away from the outer edge of its RPA e.g. concrete mixings, diesel

oil and vehicle washings. Allowances shall be made for sloping ground to avoid damaging

materials running towards retained trees.

2.3 Fires on sites should be avoided. Where they are unavoidable, they should not be lit in

a position where heat could affect foliage or branches. The potential size of a fire and wind

direction should be taken into account when determining its location, and should be

attended at all times until safe to leave.

2.4 Trees are not to be used as anchorages for equipment, or for other purposes. Notice

boards, telephone cables, or other services should not be attached to any part of the tree.

2.5 The dumping of spoil or rubbish, placing of temporary accommodation and storage of

materials within the root protection area is prohibited.

2.6 The change of ground level, excavating, stripping or disturbing topsoil within the RPA

is prohibited.

1.0 PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS:

1.1 PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT: all trees that are being retained onsite shall be

protected by barriers and / or ground protection before any materials or machinery are

brought onto the site, and before any demolition, development or stripping of soil

commences. The 'Root Protection Area' (RPA) associated with existing trees designated

for retention shall be protected from damage by erection of scaffold framework barriers in

accordance BS 5837:2012 Figure 2 including where specified appropriate ground

protection.

1.2 EXTENT OF ROOT PROTECTION AREA (RPA): as shown on the Tree Protection

Plan (TPP) the RPA is generally to be in accordance with Annex D, Table D.1 'Root

Protection Area.' - as an area equivalent to a circle radius 12 times the stem diameter

(single stem trees) or based on the combined stem diameter for multistem trees (trees with

more than one stem arising below 1.5m above ground level) refer to Clause 4.6.

1.3 TREE PROTECTION BARRIER: a vertical and horizontal scaffold framework, well

braced to resist impacts as illustrated below (refer to Figure 2 of BS5837:2012). The

vertical tubes should be spaced at a maximum interval of 3 metres and driven securely into

the ground. Care should be taken to avoid underground services and contact with

structural roots. In the presence of underground services, retained hard surfacing or where

special circumstances dictate an alternative specification as illustrated in Figure 3 of

BS5837:2012 may be acceptable subject to agreement with the project arboriculturalist

and the local planning authority.

All weather site notices should be attached to the barrier with words such as

"CONSTRUCTION EXCLUSION ZONE - NO ACCESS". Once installed barriers and

ground protection shall be not be removed or altered without prior approval of the project

arboriculturalist and where necessary approval form the local planning authority.

TREE PROTECTION NOTES:

'Trees in relation to design demolition and construction' BS5837:2012

TREE PROTECTION FENCE: Orange 'Netlon' fencing attached to

driven timber posts to protect hedging and where the default level of

fencing (above) is not required.

TPF.2

LEGEND: TREE PROTECTION TO BS 5837:2012

TPF.1

TPF.1

TREE REMOVAL: trees to be removed to enable construction.

TREE PROTECTION FENCE: to be constructed in accordance with

BS5837 prior to commencement.

3.0 GROUND PROTECTION DURING DEMOLITION & CONSTRUCTION

3.1 Where construction working space or temporary construction access is specified

within the RPA, this should be facilitated by a set-back in the alignment of the tree

protection barrier. In such areas, suitable existing hard surfacing that is not proposed for

re-use as part of the finished design should be retained to act as temporary ground

protection during construction, rather than being removed during demolition. The suitability

of such surfacing for this purpose should be evaluated by the project arboriculturist and an

engineer as appropriate.

3.2 Where the set-back of the tree protection barrier exposes unmade ground to

construction damage, new temporary ground protection should be installed as part of the

implementation of physical tree protection measures prior to work starting on site.

3.3 New temporary ground protection should be capable of supporting any traffic entering

or using the site without being distorted or causing compaction of underlying soil, for

example;

a) for pedestrian movements only, a single thickness of scaffold boards placed either on

top of a driven scaffold frame, so as to form a suspended walkway, or on top of a

compression-resistant layer (e.g. 100 mm depth of woodchip), laid onto a geotextile

membrane;

b) for pedestrian-operated plant up to a gross weight of 2 t, proprietary, inter-linked ground

protection boards placed on top of a compression-resistant layer (e.g. 150 mm depth of

woodchip), laid onto a geotextile membrane;

c) for wheeled or tracked construction traffic exceeding 2 t gross weight, an alternative

system (e.g. proprietary systems or pre-cast reinforced concrete slabs) to an engineering

specification designed in conjunction with arboricultural advice, to accommodate the likely

loading to which it will be subjected. If necessary sand should be laid on the ground as a

compressible layer.

1 Introduction

Instructions

1.1 Reading Agricultural Consultants Ltd (RAC) is instructed by IM Properties Ltd to develop a Soil

Resource and Management Plan for the development at Junction 11 of the M42.

Development site

1.2 The site is located to the west of Junction 11 of the M42, at Appleby Magna, Leicestershire. The

site extends to 97.4ha in total, comprising agricultural land in arable use. The landform is gently

sloping, with altitude falling from east to west.

Description of proposal

1.3 The proposal is for strategic employment development, including industrial and distribution

operations with a small commercial area, and associated green infrastructure. The area of built

development extends to around 64ha, with planted areas and attenuation ponds around the

periphery.

Details of the permission

1.4 A Scoping Opinion for application 18/00324/EAS was received on 26 April 2018 for:

“ The development of land including the demolition of all existing on-site buildings and

structures and levelling and re-grading of the site, and including: the construction of a

Distribution Campus (Use Class B8), with ancillary offices (Class B1a), associated gatehouse

and other ancillary uses, new electricity sub-station and new pumping station, creation of

new accesses from the B5493, internal roadways, cycleways and footpaths, yard space, car

parking and circulation, associated lighting and security measures, surface water

attenuation, and landscaping (full); and additional Use Class B1, B2 and B8 Class

employment and associated commercial and amenity uses (outline with all matters

reserved except vehicular access from the B5493 and re-grading of site).”

1.5 Natural England were consulted on matters relating to soils and advise that:

“Guidance on soil protection is available in the Defra Construction Code of Practice for the

Sustainable Use of Soils on Construction Sites, and we recommend its use in the design and

construction of development, including any planning conditions. Should the development

proceed, developers should use an appropriately experienced soil specialist to advise on,

and supervise soil handling, including identifying when soils are dry enough to be handled

and how to make the best use of soils on site.”

Purpose of the Soil Resource and Management Plan

1.6 The SRMP outlines a suitable strategy and procedures for stripping, storing and replacing soils

throughout the development process. Adherence to the SRMP will ensure that the physical soil

properties are maintained throughout the construction period, such that upon reinstatement of

soil profiles, healthy root growth and successful plant establishment will be promoted.

1.7 The preparation of this SRMP has relied on:

Survey data obtained by RAC during a detailed Agricultural Land Classification and soil

resources survey undertaken in January 2018; and

Defra (2009) Construction Code of Practice for the Sustainable Use of Soils on Construction

Sites.

2 Soil Resources on the Site

2.1 A detailed Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) and soil resources survey was carried out by RAC

in January 2018. The survey involved augering into the soil to a depth of 1.2m at 97 locations

across the site. Two soil pits were also excavated to examine soil physical properties, such as

subsoil structure, in more detail. The locations of the auger bores and the soil pits are shown on

Figure 1.

2.2 The soil auger logs are given in Appendix 1.

Topsoil

2.3 The topsoil resource across the site has been identified as heavy clay loam across a majority of

the site, with areas of medium clay loam and sandy clay loam in the west, north and south-east.

2.4 The estimated volume of topsoil present across the area of the site proposed for built

development (approximately 64ha) is 232,500m3. Of this total resource, approximately one-third

is of the lighter, medium clay loam and sandy clay loam soil variety, and two-thirds is of heavy

clay loam.

2.5 Topsoils of medium clay loam and sandy clay loam are considered to be compatible soil types

and may be stripped and stored together in bunds without damaging either resource. They

should be viewed as a single topsoil resource. The heavy clay loam topsoil should be stripped

and stored separately.

Subsoil

2.6 The main upper subsoil resource comprises clay or heavy clay loam, which reaches an average

depth of 56cm. The remaining upper subsoil at the site includes medium clay loam, sandy clay

loam and sandy loam which reaches an average depth of 60cm. A majority of the occurrences of

sandy loam upper subsoil identified in the soil survey undertaken in 2018 are isolated

observations, which may result in difficulties in stripping this resource separately. The sandy

loam could be stripped and stored together with the medium clay loam and sandy clay loam

upper subsoil resource.

2.7 Based on an upper subsoil thickness of 24cm (total depth minus topsoil depth), there is

estimated to be around 109,440m3 of clay and heavy clay loam upper subsoil at the site available

to be stripped or used in site restoration. Of the lighter soil types, there is an estimated volume

of 36,400m3 of medium clay loam and sandy clay loam, and 16,800m3 of sandy loam.

3 Green Infrastructure Proposals on the Site

Landscape design and soil suitability

3.1 As set out in the Landscape Strategy Plan for the site, the green infrastructure will comprise:

o Standard tree planting (formal avenues to road);

o Attenuation basins; and

o A mixture of landscape planting including screening to bunds and site boundaries.

3.2 The medium clay loam and sandy clay loam topsoils and subsoils should be favoured for use in

planting areas over the heavy clay loam and clay textures also present, which should be used

preferentially for the bunds.

3.3 The subsoil must be adequately draining, which will be promoted by maintaining the soil

structure throughout the construction period, but may also be remedied with subsoiling prior to

re-spreading topsoil, and prior to planting (in particular tree planting) with use of load-bearing

soil cells.

3.4 The subsoil resource may also be used in place of topsoil in the attenuation basins to reduce

leaching of nutrients from agricultural topsoils into water bodies.

3.5 Across the remainder of the green infrastructure areas, the topsoil depth should be at least

30cm. Shallower topsoil, of around 20cm depth, is appropriate for grass establishment.

4 Receptor Sites and Uses

4.1 The volume of topsoil to be displaced from the agricultural land within the built development

area is estimated at 232,500m3, all of which is to be retained on site and used in the planting and

green infrastructure areas, and in the construction of screening bunds around the periphery of

the site. The 109,440m3 of upper subsoil available is also to be retained on site for these

purposes.

5 Soil Management Strategy

5.1 The following soil management strategy is based on best practice guidance contained within

Defra’s Construction Code of Practice for the Sustainable Use of Soils on Construction Sites

(2009).

Good practice for handling soils

5.2 Inevitably, soil structural quality will be disrupted by handling or trafficking. There are three

principal objectives when stripping, handling and storing soils:

i) the avoidance of unnecessary damage to all three soil layers (topsoil, upper subsoil and

lower subsoil), especially by compaction and smearing;

ii) the maintenance of a reasonable degree of fissuring, and hence aerobic conditions, in

stored soils, especially topsoil; and

iii) the reasonable replication of the original permeability of the soil profile when the

materials are replaced.

5.3 All soil material to be re-used, for whatever purpose, will be handled only under appropriate

conditions, when in a dry and friable state, which is when they are least susceptible to damage

by compaction and smearing, and according to the following rainfall criteria:

i) if there is very light rain or drizzle, handling can proceed for up to four hours unless the

soils are already in too moist a state (determined by field tests);

ii) if there is normal rain, handling will cease if the rain has not stopped in 15 minutes;

iii) if there is heavy rain (as from intense showers, slow-moving depressions) handling will

stop immediately;

iv) after rainfall has ceased, field tests will be applied to determine when handling may re-

start.

5.4 The field tests used to determine the suitability of handling should be applied to soils from at

least five locations in each area to be assessed. Records of all tests will be kept.

5.5 The soils should be assessed as follows:

i) if the soil sample is wet, films of water are visible on the surfaces of grains and

aggregates;

NO HANDLING

ii) if the sample is moist, there is a slight dampness when squeezed between the fingers but

it does not significantly change colour (darken) on further wetting;

NO HANDLING BY SCRAPERS OR BULLDOZERS BUT MAY BE HANDLED BY TRACKED

EXCAVATORS

iii) if the sample is dry it will look dry and change colour (darken) if water is added;

HANDLING OK

5.6 The consistency of the soil should also be assessed, using the following methodology:

Attempt to mould a soil sample into a ball by hand:

i) impossible because the soil is too hard (dry);

HANDLING OK

ii) impossible because the soil is too loose (dry);

HANDLING OK

iii) impossible because the soil is too loose (wet);

NO HANDLING

iv) possible:

5.7 Attempt to roll the ball into a thread of 3 mm diameter

i) impossible; the soil crumbles or collapses;

HANDLING OK

ii) possible;

NO HANDLING

Topsoil stripping

5.8 The areas of land to be stripped will be marked out on the ground according to soil type, and the

vertical thicknesses of the different layers to be kept separate will be indicated. For example, the

heavy clay loam topsoils and the medium and sandy clay loam topsoils will be stripped

separately.

5.9 Standing crop or any other bulky vegetation will normally be cut and removed before stripping.

If under grass the grass should be cut as short as possible and any arisings should be carted

away.

5.10 Haul routes and storage areas will first be stripped of topsoil and subsoil. The principal objective

is to avoid trafficking of materials by wheeled vehicles.

5.11 Topsoil will be stripped using appropriate plant for the size of the operation.

Depth of topsoil stripping

5.12 The average thickness of the topsoil is around 32cm, ranging from 20 to 40cm, as shown in the

soil profile summaries in Appendix 1. The area could be zoned according to a given range of

topsoil thickness (for example 20-30cm, 30-40cm), or the stripping depth otherwise determined

visually according to a change in colour in the upper subsoil. However, care should be taken to

avoid incorporation of any upper subsoil into the topsoil resource.

Topsoil stockpiling

5.13 Topsoil must be stockpiled when in an appropriate condition as determined by the field tests for

moisture and consistency described above in Paragraphs 5.5 to 5.7. This will ensure the soil is

less prone to damage and compaction and will also facilitate re-spreading where applicable.

5.14 Topsoil stockpiles will not normally exceed 3m height, and should be located away from areas

that may be at risk of flooding or ponding.

5.15 If space limitations mean that two different materials must be stored on top of each other on

the same footprint, then a suitable indicator (such as a geotextile membrane) will be placed

between them. Such composite stockpiles shall have the indicator placed horizontally between

the layers: topsoil will always be the upper layer. It will also be acceptable to store different

materials adjacent to each other, with a geotextile membrane or other indicator vertically

separating them.

5.16 Stockpiles should be constructed by loose-tipping of transported material, followed by shaping

with a tracked excavator. Stockpiles will be shaped so as to shed water, but with side slopes not

so steep as to be unstable. No wheeled vehicles will normally run on stockpiles of soil.

5.17 The locations and footprints of stockpiles containing the separate resources (the heavy clay loam

and the medium and sandy clay loam) will be recorded so as to enable the preferred medium

textures to be easily located when re-spreading.

Subsoil preparation

5.18 Topsoil and upper subsoil resources will be required for the establishment of the green

infrastructure areas of the Proposed Development, including tree planting and attenuation

basins.

5.19 To ensure successful establishment of grass and trees, the subsoil must be uncompacted and

well aerated in order to avoid waterlogging and the development of anaerobic conditions.

Handling the soils when in a dry and friable state and utilising a loose-tipping method for

placement to the required thickness will reduce the risk of damage and compaction.

Topsoil respreading

5.20 Samples of topsoil should be taken from the bunds (from the surface and from the core) and

analysed for pH, major nutrients (P, K, Mg) and organic matter in order to highlight any chemical

or nutrient amendments that may be required prior to re-use.

5.21 Topsoil should also be taken out of stockpiles when in a dry and friable condition, and loose-

tipped onto the prepared subsoil. Where the soil is to be vegetated with grass, as around the

attenuation basins, a topsoil depth of up to 20cm is appropriate. Where trees are to be planted,

the topsoil depth should not exceed 30cm.

5.22 There should be no vehicle movements over the re-spread soil profiles.

5.23 Tree and grass establishment must be monitored subsequent to planting. At the first signs of

failure, the soil profiles will be examined in order to identify any drainage or compaction issues,

and a strategy to ameliorate these issues will be developed.

Appendix 1: RAC Soil Profile Summaries

Wetness / workability limitations are determined according to the methodology given in Appendix 3 of the ALC guidelines, MAFF 1988

Droughtiness calculations are made according to the methodology given in Appendix 4 of the ALC guidelines, MAFF 1988.

Grades are shown for drought, wetness and any other soil or site factors which are relevant. The overall Grade is set by the most limiting factor and shown on the right.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Site Location

Project Mercia commercial development is located to the west of Junction 11 of the M42,

enclosed on two sides by the A444 and the B5493.

Postcode: DE12 8AA NGR: SK 30308 10393

The site is formed of arable fields accessed off the A444 from Junction 11 of the M42/A42. The

highway at this point is a dual carriageway whilst the A444 and B5493 are minor roads on the

perimeter of the development site.

No Man’s Heath, Appleby Magna and Appleby Parva are the closest residential villages, located

approximately 0.5km, 1km and 1.5km south-west, east and south-east respectively.

There are two minor streams located on the west and north boundaries, these streams

confluence and join the River Mease 2.5km away from the site. The River Mease flows

westwards joining the River Trent at Croxall, Satffordshire.

2. POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

2.1 Settlement and Flocculation Tests

Water samples were collected during bore hole investigations. These samples were then tested

to establish settlement times and reaction with Water Lynx flocculants, to facilitate the

agglomeration of particles, which will improve settlement and provide an opportunity to filter or

trap the suspended solids.

Control vs Settlement after 45mins

>1000NTU to 639NTU

Control vs Settlement after 18 hours

>1000NTU to 35NTU

4

Settlement did not remove the fine colloidal clay particles in suspension over a short period of

time. To remove the finer silt fraction, flocculants were required. The most effective flocculant

was a duplex with WL360 and WL494 blocks, reaction started to occur within 15 seconds from

dehydrated block state. The flocs produced were large and light. Settlement of the flocs took

several minutes but led to greatly improve water clarity.

WL360 would need to be used as the dominant block with WL494 to provide polishing.

Water Lynx are synthetic anionic polyacrylamides that do not contain any metals, such as iron

or aluminium associated with coagulants. Water Lynx is non-toxic to the aquatic environment

and do not bioaccumulate, remaining bound to the sediment until they degrade to produce

water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Further information and the MSDS can be found in

Appendix A & B.

Given the volume of solids in the water it will be necessary to use a settlement system such as

a lagoon to enable their efficient removal and management through the project. A further

polishing system would further improve the clarity of water.

2.2 Silt Control Measures

A series of specific short-term actions have been recommended to reduce and control sediment

on site. Refer to site map.

Silt control also comes from good working practices; many have been documented in Winvic’s

EMS guidance notes and referenced in the risk assessment. Always seek specialist advice

when needed.

All silt control measures will need to be reviewed regularly with the aim of safeguarding against

pollution events as construction progresses.

2.4 Specific Actions

Action Description

A1 - Formalise public highway access with an impermeable finish before moving to stoned roads. Passing places/traffic control must be included to prevent vehicles moving off the access routes.

- Do not utilise the main access road to the compound for site equipment in order to minimise mud. - Do not form any haul road interception points with the access road. - Do not include drainage beneath the compound area to avoid pollution in the ditch. - Intercept water from above fields and move it around the site perimeter to the ditch. . - Stone all surfaces and create adequate office/visitor parking - Separate the delivery/unloading of materials ensuring sufficient space for this activity (movement

of forklift).

- Separate the contractors, plant and machinery compound and ensure that there is an oil pollution kit available at all times as well as a plan to manage oil pollution incidents.

- Locate contractor compound to the west of the ditch to minimise risk of pollution. - Provide suitable oil and chemical storage. - Refer to EMS EG01: Temporary surface water crossings - Refer to EMS EG02: Working near water - Refer to EMS EG03: Oil storage, refuelling and inspection - Refer to EMS EG05: Spill response, preparedness and resources - Refer to EMS EG06: Materials storage

A2 - Sewage and grey water to be collected and removed from site by licenced waste carrier during temporary works.

- Final planned drainage to be connected to main sewer (pumped system).

A3 - Boot wash water collection and settlement removed from site via temporary sewage/grey water.

A4 - Install main haul road through centre of site for access to create the attenuation features and electricity substation.

- Create formal crossings on the field ditches.

A5 - Clear the field ditches using silt control downstream whilst undertaking work. - Backfill the ditches with geotextile and clean stone - Cover the finished ditches with topsoil to prevent any further ingress of muddy water

A6 - Create two temporary silt settlement/water treatment ponds in the location of the final attenuation. - Ensure that the attenuation features are sufficient to hold water in a storm event. - Subdivide each of these ponds with an impermeable bund to create an area for muddy water

ingress and an area for settlement.

- Prevent uncontrolled release of water from the attenuation features to surface water. Install a penstock or flap valve on the features to ensure control

- In construction create slope roughness by tracking machines up/down the banks to trap the water on the slope and reduce its erosive power and vegetate banks at the earliest opportunity.

- Form a bund around the outfall to prevent soft sediments from being drawn through.

- Constantly treat and release water to ensure maximise capacity in the attenuation feature. - Use a floating pump head to reduce the transfer of silt when pumping. - Introduce water treatment to transfer water from the muddy to the settlement area of the pond. - Ensure the water treatment system is easily accessible from site to enable regular maintenance. - Introduce further treatment in the settlement pond as required such as recirculation. - Discharge from the settlement pond, drawing the clean water from the surface - Introduce a polishing system of SiltMats in the open culvert before it reaches the stream

- Monitor the surface water being released into the stream at the point of discharge

A7 - Do not disturb or expose the banks the perimeter streams, retain natural vegetation to create a buffer on the edges of a stream

- Consider the benefits of installing heras boundaries to the edge of the stream buffer to prevent access near the banks

- Develop a site-specific method of work that reduce or eliminate working in the watercourse i.e working in the dry and that do not contaminate surface water e.g when installing headwalls.

- Manage downstream pollution; this should be a site-specific method and may include silt mats, silt curtains and/or bubble barriers.

- Use materials (e.g. sealants, coating, oils, cement mixing) carefully to protect the environment - Do not store any materials next to a surface water, these must be at least 10m away and

appropriate, containment and pollution control measures must be in place.

8

- Refer to EMS EG02: Working near water

A8 - Identify the route of road drainage from the B5493 - Ensure that this drainage will not impact on the development and divert as necessary - This system may need to be piped to ensure muddy water ingress is prevented.

A9 - Store materials at least 10m away from watercourses and cordon off to prevent damage - Segregate different grades of soil and store them in bunds no higher than 2m. The height and size

of stockpile will depend on the moisture and soil consistency, stripping and storing soil in dry conditions will retain the best soil properties, storage of wet soils will require increased management on reuse

- Protect from the weather or vegetate if being stored on site longer than six months. - If there is a risk of erosion or loss of material, then a containment barrier must be used.

- Refer to the DEFRA Construction code of practice for the sustainable use of soils on construction sites (2009).

- Refer to EMS EG06: Materials Storage

A10 - Phase the work to ensure that only the minimum area of soil is exposed at any one time, retaining vegetation.

- Carry out the cut and fill operations to reduce runoff from the working area i.e. retain a bund on the downhill boundary to create a storage area for any rainfall during the profiling activity. Excess water can then be pumped to attenuation feature for treatment. The plot can be completed to final level infilling from the perimeter edges to prevent any water from accidentally escaping.

- Should any material need to be stored for any duration follow A9

- Should land drains be encountered divert these into the water treatment ponds.

A11 - Create temporary v-ditches to collect and transfer surface water runoff to the treatment ponds. These should be cut as the project progresses to intercept surface water runoff from any areas with exposed soils. They must be positioned so that they can remain undisturbed for as long as the work programme requires.

- Minimise ground disturbance when cutting ditches. Do not track machinery or vehicles on the riverbank; always work to the north of the v-ditch on the construction site footprint.

- Move all excavated material away from the ditch for reuse on the scheme. Do not place it on the edge of the watercourse or within the flow path of water.

- V-Ditches must be profiled with a flat bottom and sloping banks (30o being the steepest), they must be sufficiently deep to intercept any land drains (1m) and have sufficient capacity to move water.

Example v-ditch profile

- Divert v-ditches to the attenuation feature as the water is likely to be muddy and require some chemical treatment before release from site. This may require pumping unless it can be achieved by gravity.

- Silt control measures such as rock checks created using clean aggregate may be used within the v-ditch to slow the flow and help retain solids, reduce those being transported to the attenuation feature.

- FlocMats and SiltMats may also be used in the v-ditch to provide some water treatment should the attenuation feature have limited capacity for treatment.

A12 - Locate the underground tanks on the farm and ensure that no materials can enter or egress these.

- Decommission the tanks by either removal or complete infill as per agreement with client.

A13 - Identify historic borehole/well and ensure that this feature is capped to prevent ingress of material

A14 - Identify hot spots of previously ‘tipped’ material and manage the waste streams as appropriate, specific measures should be adopted at TP06

9

2.5 General Actions Refer to the EMS guidance documents that outline good environmental practice when

undertaking specific activities on site. It is important to recognise these generic documents

should be supplemented by site-specific measures where appropriate.

Action Description

A15 - Haul Roads are to be constructed and maintained to a design capable of carrying site traffic. A regime of inspection & maintenance will be implemented.

- Haul roads will be kept free from sludge, movement of vehicles will stop should ground conditions become too wet

- V-ditches downslope of the haul road will be created to move surface water runoff to a collection point and ultimately treatment area.

A16 - Don’t pump standing water and excavations directly to any watercourses. - Pump water to the plateaux - Stop work within the excavation prior to it being pumped, this will prevent the disturbance of the

material and contamination of the water. - All water pumped from excavations shall be pumped via a stone sump or floating pump head with

stone pad to prevent silt being drawn into the pump. - Locate the pumps 10m away from any watercourse and position them on an oil containment bund

or plant nappy.

- Refer to EMS EG09: Pumping standing water and excavations

A17 - Identify a responsible person for environmental management - Ensure everyone on site has a basic awareness of silt control measures and their importance so

as to avoid pollution (silt control tool box talk Appendix C) - Provide specific instruction to subcontractors and site staff

A18 - Make provisions and a method statement concerning high pH water/concrete wash water from various activities.

- Concrete washings or high pH water must not be allowed to flow into any drain or watercourse. - Provide washing out facilities for concrete mixing plant and/or ready-mix concrete lorries. This

should preferentially use carbon dioxide to reduce pH. The plant must be appropriately sized for the lorry concrete pour expected on site and located 100m away from watercourses.

- Any residue from concreting activities must also be managed and not allowed to enter the drains or watercourse.

- Shuttering must be checked by a suitably qualified and experienced person for integrity prior to pours and the rate of rise to be controlled during the pour.

- Complete concrete pours in good weather, as opposed to when rain is forecast. Protect newly poured concrete from the weather until it is fully set.

- Brush off the loose concrete dust/residue to prevent it from being washed into a drain or watercourse.

- Unexpected rainfall before the concrete has set may lead to high pH water runoff entering the permanent drains, v-ditches and attenuation features. Be aware of this potential and be prepared to monitor for the occurrence, hold the water and pump it for treatment in a pH reduction plant.

- Refer to EMS EG10: Concrete Washout water

A19 - Prepare both oil and chemical management plans. These should specify good practice for the storage, refuelling or safe use of materials, spill response and contingency plans.

- Refer to EMS EG03: Oil storage, refuelling and inspection - Refer to EMS EG04: Chemical storage - Refer to EMS EG05: Spill Response, preparedness and resources

A20 - It may be necessary to employ a road sweep to remove mud from the public highway and access road to maintain a clean surface should site vehicle movements not be kept separate.

- A plan of drain maintenance, upkeep of roads, disposal of road sweeper spoil and vehicle wash down material will greatly reduce impact on the local highway and any unplanned pollution incidents

- Road sweep washings and vehicle wash down runoff will be dirty with silt and possibly other contaminants. It is important that it is not released directly into the surface water drains or direct into the watercourses without treatment.

- Preferentially remove waste waters from site for disposal or identify a suitable location where treatment can take place.

- Refer to EMS EG07: Road sweep and wheel wash waters

10

A21 - Ensure the waste hierarchy is followed (in order): reduce, re-use, recycle/compost, energy recovery and disposal.

- Prepare a waste management plan, identifying likely wastes and providing suitable storage and disposal options. The plan should outline good practice in the storage and handling of wastes.

- Refer to EMS EG12: Waste management

A22 - A complete biosecurity process would need to identify site-specific risks related to the presence of invasive plants and animals or disease, on land and in water. These risks should be assessed with appropriate actions put in place and highlighted to all site personnel.

- All operatives should have detailed procedures to follow with respect to cleaning machinery and PPE.

- Refer to EMS EG11: Biosecurity

3. MONITORING

3.1 Acrylamide and Polyelectrolyte Release

It is anticipated that 2 pipe reactors each containing 5no. 2.5kg Water Lynx Blocks

(3xWL4949/2xWL360) and a silt capture channel utilising treated Floc Mats will form part of the

treatment plan. The MSDS are appended (Appendix B)

Appendix C outlines the environmental standards for the aspects of WaterLynx™ that are

applicable and are examined to demonstrate protection of the environment – Acrylamide and

Polyelectrolyte (PP). Appendix D shows the calculated release rates from Project Mercia.

Calculations demonstrate an Acrylamide release of 0.0412g/l from the proposed treatment –

this below the WHO drinking water standard of 0.1 g/l.

It must be borne in mind that this scenario is hugely conservative, being assessed against a

drinking water standard at the exit of the treatment system. This does not take into account the

factor of the dilution within the receiving waterbody. Additionally, the Water Lynx blocks can be

expected to outlast the conservative estimate of 30 days – thereby further reducing the

Acrylamide release rate.

The Polyelectrolyte release rate is calculated at 0.238 mg/l – well below the EQS value of 7.5

mg/l. It must also be borne in mind that the calculator is extremely conservative – being based

on the complete uptake / degradation of the blocks and saturation of the mats within 20 days

(a worst-case scenario).

The calculation represents the combined discharge from the attenuation ponds and does not

include projected concentration in the receiving streams following dilution.

11

3.2 Turbidity and pH

In order to ensure that the mitigation and treatment process is working correctly, self-monitoring

will be undertaken on a daily basis by trained site personnel.

Self-monitoring for the following will be carried out on a daily basis for the first month then weekly

thereafter. This monitoring will measure and record the following parameters:

o pH

o Turbidity (NTU)

o Hydrocarbons (visual quantitative)

Should the monitoring regime show a rise in any of the parameters the test will be repeated.

Should the test return the same elevated result, discharge from site will be ceased, site water

tested, and the underlying cause investigated.

The monitoring points will include the points of release from the water treatment ponds as well

as the point of entry onto site, baseline data indicates that the local streams have elevated solid

content in wet weather. A map of the monitoring points is in Appendix E.

If this test is within normal limits and proven not to be the source of the elevated results, then

discharge will recommence. If the site water is found to be the source of the issue the discharge

will cease until a treatment regime can be found to resolve the problem.

New site activities will be assessed for their potential to impact on the water environment as

well as reviewing environmental incidents and near miss records.

Proactive silt management will be encouraged but it is acknowledged that an element of

reactive work will be necessary. Actions will be recorded following each monitoring visit, a

responsible person assigned and timeframe for completion set.

3.3 Communication

Environmental issues will be reviewed internally at weekly site progress meetings, in

accordance with the Winvic ISO14001 EMS. The agenda will include:

• Identify change or variation in the working method and whether this alters the

environmental risk profile

• Environmental incidents, complaints and non-conformance; assignment of corrective

actions and sign off on previous actions

12

• Provide specific instruction to subcontractors and site staff

Appendix A: Overview Water Lynx™

Water Lynx Flocculants

Water Lynx™ are a synthetic anionic polyacrylamide flocculant held in gel and granular form. The

flocculants do not contain any heavy metals, are non-toxic to the aquatic environment and do not

bioaccumulate, remaining bound to the sediment until they degrade to produce water, carbon dioxide

and nitrogen oxide.

Figure One: Water Lynx Blocks (Gel form)

The Water Lynx flocculants bind the colloidal clay particles to form larger particles known as ‘flocs’.

The flocs must be separated from the water before it can be released from site.

The ideal placement for the water lynx is in the immediately vicinity downstream of the activity

producing sediment or in an outfall pipe that carried muddy water.

The block can either be tied in place using the netting or held within a small cage such as a gabion

basket.

The water must be turbulent around the block to allow the flocculant to be released. A simple way to

create turbulence is to use local material such as rocks to create broken water around the block.

When using the blocks in duplex place WL494 upstream of WL360, these only need to be separated

by a few inches.

It will take around 30m for the flocculants to be created. The flocculated particles will then need to

be captured.

13

The method of silt capture will be site specific it may be that the channel enters a settlement lagoon

or tank, the channel may be lined with materials to support the capture, retention and future removal

of the sediments such as SiltMat or Floc Mat. It will be imperative that this silt capture is specified

in advance of deploying the water lynx blocks.

On leaving site the remaining flocculant should be removed and stored in a sealed plastic bag until

required for another site or dispose as directed on the MSDS.

Appendix C: ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) quite rightly require the assurance that the use of a flocculant will

not lead to any undue environmental impact or breach an Environmental Quality Standard.

As noted, Water Lynx flocculants are anionic and do not contain any heavy metals.

The two key elements that require assurance for environmental protection are Polyelectrolytes and

Acrylamide. These elements are discussed generally as below, with specific modelling for

Haudagain.

Polyelectrolytes

Polyelectrolytes are examined and controlled by SEPA via Regulatory Method (WAT-RM-12)

“Discharges from Water Treatment Works. This process notes that Anionic Polyelectrolytes are

preferable (WaterLynx™ is Anionic) and that SEPA may consider a numeric discharge consent.

In England and Wales, the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales has produced

guidance for water companies via: Control of chemicals used for dosing at waste water

treatment works.

waste-water-treatment-works

This notes an EQS standard:

“For anionic and non-ionic polyacrylamide polyelectrolytes, we apply an EQS of 3.5mg/l as a 95-

percentile limit in soft acid waters. Soft acid waters are waters with a pH 6 or less, and a total

hardness of less than 20mg/l. For waters with a hardness of 20mg/l or more as calcium carbonate,

we apply a 95-percentile limit EQS of 7.5mg/l.”

Acrylamide Acrylamide is noted in the Scottish Pollutant Release Inventory (SEPA) The Environmental Quality Standard for Acrylamide is the WHO Drinking Standard value of 0.1

g/l.
