1. Introduction

1.1 Background The Komoto Group Ltd (hereafter referred to as the ‘Applicant’) is preparing to submit a hybrid planning application for a proposed development on land currently occupied by commercial and industrial buildings in the Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG). The development proposals are subsequently referred to in this report as the ‘Development’. The site of the proposed Development (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’), occupies 1.75 hectares (ha) of land in the Thames Barrier Industrial Area. On-site operations include a go-kart facility, a lorry depot, a car showroom and office buildings. The Thames Path National Trail crosses the northern part of the Site. The River Wall and Jetty are included within the Site to the north. The indicative planning application boundary is shown on Figure 1. The Applicant’s proposals for the Site (hereafter referred to as the ‘Development’) are being designed by Farrells architects supported by a full professional consultancy team. This Scoping Report, prepared by Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited (hereafter referred to as ‘Waterman’) provides background information to assist RBG in providing a Scoping Opinion under Regulation 13 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 20111 (as amended 2015)2 (hereafter referred to as the ‘EIA Regulations’).

1.2 Environmental Impact Assessment Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the likely significant environmental effects arising from a development. The process enables developers to respond iteratively to the prevailing environmental conditions and constraints in relation to their proposals. This allows for the evolution of the most practicable environmentally sustainable design and ensures that, if deemed necessary, all measures are considered and implemented, where feasible, to prevent, reduce and where possible, offset any potentially adverse significant environmental effects. The EIA process also aims to ensure that potentially beneficial effects of redevelopment are maximised. The purpose of the EIA is to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental effects when determining the planning application. Where an EIA is required, all relevant assessment information must be provided by the Applicant in a document referred to as an Environmental Statement (ES). The ES must accompany the submission of the subject planning application. The Site’s area exceeds the 0.5ha ‘threshold’ for the overall development area as set out in paragraph 10b of Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations. Additionally, the nature of the Development and the surrounding environment are such that there may be significant environmental effects as a result of the proposed Development. For these reasons, the Applicant has decided to voluntarily undertake an EIA and no formal Screening Opinion concerning the need for EIA has been sought from RBG. Waterman has been appointed to coordinate the EIA process and to prepare an ES which will be submitted with the hybrid planning application. The ‘Scoping’ stage of the EIA defines the focus of the subsequent environmental assessments undertaken as part of the EIA process. Defining the scope of the EIA is regarded as an important component of the overall EIA process; the primary aim being to identify the key issues to be addressed and to focus the ES on the most likely significant effects associated with the development. As such, this

EIA Scoping Report has been prepared to identify the likely significant environmental issues associated with the proposals and the need for, and scope of, various technical studies to be undertaken as part of the EIA. The proposed scope and methodology of the EIA, as presented in this EIA Scoping Report, has been established through a review of baseline surveys and environmental studies as well as desk based research. In line with the EIA Regulations, this EIA Scoping Report provides a brief description of the nature of the proposals and the likely significant effects on the environment. The report also sets out environmental issues to be considered in the EIA and outlines the approach that would be employed during the EIA to assess these effects. This EIA Scoping Report is structured as follows:  Section 2 provides a summary of the existing environmental conditions of the Site, together with a brief description of the nature of the proposals;  Section 3 summarises the main consultations that will be undertaken as part of the EIA;  Section 4 provides a description of the potentially significant environmental effects that have been identified. The approach and methodology for the assessment of each topic in the EIA is also described;  Section 5 summarises insignificant environmental issues that are proposed to be scoped out of the EIA; and  Section 6 provides an outline of the proposed structure of the ES.

2. The Site and Proposals

2.1 Site Location and Setting The Site is centred on National Grid Reference 541385, 179222. It is bound by Herringham Road to the south, industrial operations to the west, the River Thames to the north and the Thames Barrier Control Centre to the east. The Thames Barrier itself is located approximately 50m to the north-east of the Site. The Site is in the Thames Barrier Industrial Area and is surrounded by predominately industrial and commercial activities. Currently, the Site is almost entirely occupied by industrial and commercial land uses. A brick-housed electricity sub-station is in the north of the Site. No basements are known to exist on the Site; however, the ground floor of the large commercial building in the south of the Site is slightly lower than the adjacent street level in places. The topography of the Site is varied. The Thames Path in the north of the Site is approximately 1m higher that the adjacent land to the south. The Site generally slopes down toward the south. Vehicular access to the Site is from Herringham Road. Due to the industrial nature of some of the Site and surrounding areas, pedestrian access is limited other than access only available from Herringham Road to the south and Thames Path to the north. The land uses surrounding the Site are varied and include (refer to Figure 1):  Herringham Road connects to Westmoor Street at the south-east corner of the Site which, in turn, connects to the A206 Bugsby’s Way, the nearest primary vehicular route to the Site;  Tarmac industrial facility adjacent to the west;  A waste recycling facility approximately 50m to the west;  Stone Foundries manufacturing depot approximately 75m to the south-west;  Various depots, yards and warehouses on New Lydenburg Street approximately 50m south of the Site;  Barrier Park, a small area of managed green-space adjacent to the east of the Site and extending approximately 200m to the west. The View café and information centre is in the west of the park;  The Thames Barrier, approximately 50m to the north-east of the Site at its closest point; and  The Thames Path National Trail runs through the north part of the Site and extends west towards London city centre and east towards the Thames Gateway area. The Site is not located within any Conservation Areas or Zones; however, it is located within the Greenwich Peninsula and Foreshore Area of High Archaeological Potential (AHAP), designated by the London Borough of Greenwich and English Heritage. There are no Listed Buildings or Scheduled Monuments within 500m of the Site. The Site is adjacent to, and extends slightly into, the Thames Estuary Recommended Marine Conservation Zone. This designation is being recommended due the variety of species of fish which use the estuary as breeding and nursery grounds. The closest statutory designated ecological site is the Maryon Wilson Park and Gilbert's Pit Local Nature Reserve which incorporates the Gilbert’s Pit geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Both are

approximately 750m south-east of the Site. The northern part of the Site is located within the River Thames Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. The River Thames to the east of the Thames Barrier is identified as an Important Bird Area. The entire RBG area has been designated as and Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) due to exceedances of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulates (PM10) The Site is within the Charlton Riverside Masterplan area (refer to Figure 2) which extends along the south bank of the River Thames from Angerstein and Murphy’s Wharfs in the west to Warspite Road in the Westminster Estate to the east. Woolwich Road forms much of the Masterplan area’s southern boundary. The Masterplan aims to integrate new development with the existing Charlton community, with a major focus on the generation of jobs, educations and mixed-industry business space. The Masterplan also aims to establish a high-quality leisure space with mixed-tenure residential accommodation.

2.2 The Development Proposals Although the design of the proposed Development is still evolving, the key features of the proposed Development are described below. The description of these key features is considered sufficiently detailed to confidently define the appropriate scope for the EIA. To facilitate the Development, all buildings within the Site to the south of the river wall would be demolished. Figure 3 shows the indicative current scheme massing. The Development is proposed to comprise a series of distinct building blocks of mainly residential use. One building in the south of the Site would be single-storey; one, in the south-west corner of the Site would be up to 25 storeys high; and the remainder would have 8-10 storeys. At this early stage in the design process, uses are currently proposed as follows (all figures approximate):  570 residential units over 34,000m2;  1,300m2 of commercial space at various locations at ground level and level 01;  Two retail units within podium level of the residential blocks with an approximate total floorspace of 290m2;  Approximately 480 to 500 car parking spaces over two basement / podium levels. In addition, the river wall in the north of the Site would be raised to 6.20m AOD. The wooden jetty in the north of the Site may be refurbished to provide an area of amenity space with views across the River Thames and back into the Development itself. Vehicular access would continue to be from Herringham Road, with access to the car park levels from the south-east and south-west corners of the Site. Pedestrian and cycle access to the Site would be much improved, particularly from the Thames Path in the north of the Site. The Development will also include a range of sustainability measures and ecological enhancements and these are being worked up as part of the design evolution. It is anticipated that the demolition and construction works will last approximately 24 months.

2.3 Potentially Sensitive Receptors Given the built-up non-residential nature of the Site and its surroundings, there are very few potentially sensitive receptors in the vicinity. Receptors which may be sensitive to any significant environmental effects as a result of the proposed Development include:  Current businesses and employees within the Site;  Employees of nearby commercial and industrial premises during demolition and construction;  Road users in the vicinity of the Site during demolition and construction;  Pedestrians and cyclists on the Thames Path National Trail in the north of the Site, during demolition and construction;  The River Thames, adjacent to the north of the Site;  Groundwater beneath the Site;  The Greenwich AQMA;  The Greenwich Peninsula and Foreshore AHAP which incorporates the Site; and  Future residents of the proposed Development.

3. Consultations

Consultation with statutory and non-statutory consultees assists in ensuring that all relevant environmental issues are identified, together with the likely significant environmental effects of the Development. This enables the EIA to operate as part of an iterative process whereby likely significant environmental issues are identified and considered as part of the design process. In this way, the design can be refined through the incorporation of mitigation measures, where possible, to limit adverse effects and enhance beneficial effects. Consultation has been, and will continue to be, undertaken as part of the design and EIA process, and will include (but not necessarily be limited to) the following organisations:  Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG);  Greater London Authority (GLA);  Transport for London (TfL);  Historic England;  Environment Agency;  Natural England;  Thames Water;  Political stakeholders;  Businesses and landowners;  Community and amenity groups; and  Local residents. The planning application will be accompanied by a Statement of Community Involvement setting out the approach taken to consultation, together with consultation responses. Furthermore, each technical chapter of the ES will include a summary of key consultations undertaken as part of the EIA.

4. Key EIA Issues

4.1 Introduction and General Approach The EIA will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the EIA Regulations and current good practice guidance. The legal minimum requirements for the content of an ES are set out in Schedule 4 of the EIA Regulations. It is recognised that for the ES to fulfil its primary objective of enabling environmental considerations to be incorporated into the decision-making process, it must be focused on the most likely significant environmental issues, which have been identified through surveys and a review of baseline studies completed to date. The following section therefore sets out the likely significant issues to be considered in the ES and defines the focus and scope of the EIA.

4.2 Alternatives In accordance with the EIA Regulations, the ES will present a description of the main alternatives to the Development that were reasonably considered by the Applicant prior to selection of the final Development. A summary will be provided of the reasons for selection of the final Development design, taking into account environmental considerations. The ES will include a description of the following:  The ‘Do nothing’ scenario: the consequences of no development taking place;  Alternative uses: the alternative uses considered for the Site; and  Alternative designs: the design alternatives considered as part of the design process will be outlined in the ES. This will include examining alternatives to building layout, scale and orientation. Since the Site is in the ownership of the Applicant, the Applicant has not considered any alternative sites for the proposals.

4.3 The Proposed Development In line with the EIA Regulations, the ES will include a comprehensive description of the Development, as defined by the planning application drawings, the floor area schedule and other design details submitted for approval. The description of the Development will include the following:  Height and massing of the Development, as defined by the planning application drawings;  Quantum and distribution of proposed land uses;  Description of proposed open space and associated landscaping (including ecological enhancements);  Highway works, access, servicing, cycle parking arrangements;  Building plant and servicing area including proposal for waste management; and  Sustainability features including energy efficiency measures, ecological enhancements and SUDS. Assessment of the likely significant effects arising from the Development once completed and operational will be provided in the technical chapters of the ES. Such assessments will be based on the details for which permission will sought, including the planning application drawings and floorspace schedule.

4.4 Development Programme, Demolition and Construction The ES will include a description of demolition and construction of the Development, including:  Proposed programme and phasing of demolition and construction works;  Methods of construction and key activities likely to be undertaken, including types of piling and foundations likely to be employed;  Access and routing of construction vehicles and estimated number of construction vehicle movements; and  General site management in relation to environmental management and protection. Assessments of the likely significant effects arising from the demolition and construction works will be provided in the technical chapters of the ES. Such assessments will be based on available information pertaining to the indicative construction timetable and description of demolition and construction works. In addition, a summary framework of the content of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) will be described in the ES.

4.5 Socio Economics

4.5.1 Key Issues The proposed Development will provide up to approximately 530 new homes and approximately 1,300m2 of commercial and retail floorspace. The Development is likely to impact on the local and wider sub- regional economies through the introduction of new residents to the area. The impacts to existing commercial businesses on the Site will also be a key issue.

4.5.2 Potential Effects The proposed Development is envisaged to have a range of social and economic effects, some of which would be temporary, whilst others would be long-term and permanent. The socio-economic assessment would examine the following potential effects:  Temporary employment generation and local expenditure during demolition and construction;  The creation of long-term employment opportunities from the proposed commercial uses of the Development;  The provision of new homes and the contribution of these to current housing policy targets;  Effects of additional expenditure resulting from the Site’s new population; and  The implications of the new Site’s population upon local schools, healthcare facilities, open space and children’s place space.

4.5.3 Approach and Methodology

Assess Baseline Socio-Economic Conditions To assess the socio-economic effects of the proposed Development, we will identify and interpret baseline information on a variety of socio-economic indicators. The indicators will be grouped into several

8 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

subject areas that address a broad range of outcomes typically associated with major development proposals. Taken together, these subject areas provide a robust indication of the socio-economic strengths and weaknesses of a local area. The main subject areas to consider will be as follows:  Population and demographic change;  Economy;  Education and skills;  Housing; and  Deprivation. Identification of the relevant socio-economic baseline conditions at, and surrounding the Site will be based on established statistical sources such as the Census, official labour market statistics, DfE statistics, NHS data, and information from the Applicant.

Policy Review A high-level review of relevant planning, economic development and regeneration policies will be undertaken. The purpose of the policy review will be to understand the key strategic regeneration outcomes sought for the local area. We will then consider whether the socio-economic impacts of the proposed Development are well-aligned with the overall direction of policy.

Potential Effects, Mitigation Measures and Residual Effects The proposed methodology will include the identification and assessment of likely effects, using appropriate modelling techniques where necessary. This will include:  Estimates of the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) jobs generated by construction work. This will use information on annual construction spend estimates and CLG / Offpat Labour co-efficient ratios to derive estimates of both on and off-site construction jobs;  Estimates of the FTE jobs generated by the completed and operational Development. On-site jobs will be estimated using established employment density ratios. Off-site jobs will be estimated using established ratios for indirect (supply chain) and induced (employee expenditure) multipliers;  Estimates of the new residential population and child yield arising from the Development. Child yields will be calculated using the GLA Population Yield Calculator3 and local authority guidance where necessary;  Estimates of the additional expenditure created by the new population of the Development. This will use data on the socio-economic profile of the new community and the Family ONS Family Spending data as well as local retail assessments; and  An appraisal of the effects of the Development’s additional population on existing local schools (both primary and secondary), primary healthcare facilities, open space and children’s play space. The significance of potential socio-economic effects will be clearly identified, and for any effects which have the potential to be negative, mitigation measures will be considered. Any residual socio-economic effects of the proposed Development will then be assessed, i.e. those which are likely to remain after any mitigation measures have been deployed.

4.6 Transport

4.6.1 Key Issues The existing access to the Site is via Herringham Road, which is a single carriageway with one lane in each direction. Herringham Road reverts to Westmoor Street to the east of the Site, which links to the A206 Woolwich Road to the south-east of the Site. The A206 is a dual carriageway road running on a northeast-southwest axis in the vicinity of the Site. Footways are provided on both sides of Herringham Road, which link the Site to Westmoor Street. Westmoor Street also provides footways on both sides of the carriageway linking to the A206 Woolwich Road. The Thames Path runs within the north of the Site and provides a connection between destinations such as Tower Bridge, the Thames Barrier, Teddington Lock, Albert Bridge and the River Darent. Accessibility to the Site by public transport is limited, which is reflected within the Site’s PTAL of 2. There are currently 4 bus services, which are accessible from the Site operating along the Woolwich Road. The closest rail service is provided at Charlton Station located approximately 1.3km south west of the Site. The station is therefore outside TfL’s upper threshold of 960m for accessible rail services. However, it is noted there are direct bus services between Woolwich Road and Charlton Station with bus routes 161, 177 and 180 providing a direct service. In consideration of the above, key transport and access issues relate to:  Number of trips generated by the Development and the impact on the local road network;  Public transport supply and capacity;  Pedestrian and cycle facilities;  Parking facilities for cars, motorcycles and bicycles;  Access and servicing arrangements to and from the Development; and  Traffic flows, volumes and routes associated with the demolition and construction works.

4.6.2 Potential Effects The EIA will address the following potential transportation and access related effects:  Temporary disruption to pedestrians, cyclists and road vehicle users during the demolition and construction works;  Temporary generation of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) during the demolition and construction works;  Effects of the Development upon traffic flows and capacities of the local highway network;  Effects upon public transport accessibility;  Effects upon pedestrian and cycle journeys, accessibility and facilities;  Effects upon parking supply and demand; and  Effects upon access and servicing arrangements of the Site.

4.6.3 Approach and Methodology A comprehensive Transport Assessment (TA) will be undertaken. This will be fully scoped with RBG and Transport for London who are the local highway authorities and will be submitted either as a standalone document or as an Appendix to the ES. The TA will include detailed junction modelling taking into account predicted future changes in traffic flows as a result of the proposed Development, together with an assessment of the potential effects, suggesting appropriate mitigation where required. The ES will summarise the results of the TA in accordance with the requirements of the EIA Regulations. As such, the assessment will identify all likely significant effects; provide an assessment of the environmental effects and a description of appropriate mitigation.

4.7 Noise and Vibration

4.7.1 Key Issues The Site is surrounded on three sides by industrial land uses, with the River Thames to the north. The existing noise climate at the Site is dominated by industrial and road traffic noise, particularly within the western area of the Site noise from Tarmac’s aggregates and asphalt operations on Riverside Wharf (a Safeguarded Wharf). In addition to noise from existing sources, the Development itself has the potential to create noise and vibration during the demolition and construction works and to a lesser extent on completion and operation of the Development. It is understood that there are no residential receptors within the vicinity of the Site, only industrial and commercial land-uses. On this basis, the sensitivity of the surrounding land-uses to noise is low. The most significant potential impact of the Development is therefore on future residential receptors of the Development itself.

4.7.2 Likely Significant Effects Potential noise and vibration effects during demolition and construction and once the Development is completed and operational to be addressed in the ES will include:  Temporary noise and vibration disturbance to existing sensitive receptors (including any residential properties and listed buildings / structures) on and surrounding the Site because of demolition and construction works;  Noise disturbance generated from road traffic to existing sensitive receptors resultant from the demolition, construction and operational phases;  Noise generated from the proposed servicing areas and building plant of the completed Development on existing and future noise sensitive receptors on and surrounding the Site; and  Although not an effect of the Development, noise disturbance to new residential receptors from the adjacent operational safeguarded wharf (Riverside Wharf).

4.7.3 Approach and Methodology The noise and vibration assessment will include the following:

11 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 Consultation with RBG to agree the survey protocol, assessment methodologies, assessment criteria and impacts to be addressed;  Consultation with PLA to discuss survey strategy and assessment methodology and criteria of the adjacent safeguarded wharf (Riverside Wharf, Tarmac Works);  Notwithstanding the above, identification of potentially sensitive noise and vibration receptors on and surrounding the Site through discussions with RBG, although early indication is that there are no residential receptors within the vicinity of the Site;  Conduct a baseline noise survey during both daytime (07:00 to 23:00) and night time (23:00 to 07:00), covering both a typical weekday and weekend period to establish the existing noise climate at the Site. If required, this will include short-term measurements at nearby existing noise sensitive receptors, although early indication is that there are no such receptors within the vicinity of the Site;  There are no existing vibration sources within the vicinity of the Site, such as over-ground or underground rail, therefore baseline vibration measurements are not proposed;  Conduct source noise measurements at the adjacent safeguarded wharf (Riverside Wharf) of key Tarmac operations to inform the assessment of residential amenity;  Estimation of noise and vibration generated from the key demolition and construction activities and an assessment of the likely significant effects on surrounding sensitive receptors, using the methodology set out in British Standard (BS) BS522845;  Assessment of the likely noise effects from commercial and industrial noise sources including the operation of service plant and service yards upon sensitive receptors. The assessment will be undertaken in general accordance with BS41426 and be both qualitative (based on review of the proposed location) and quantitative dependent on available information (by calculating the likely increase in the ambient noise level from associated service activities), having regard to the prevailing noise climate;  Although not strictly part of an EIA, assessment of the suitability of the Site for the residential amenity against relevant and credited guidance (NPPF; BS 8233:2014 and WHO 1999). Due regard will be given to proposed external amenity areas;  Assessment of the impacts of road traffic noise due to changes resultant from the proposed Development. This assessment would be carried out in accordance with the Calculation of Road Traffic Noise (CRTN) memorandum7 in respect of existing and future sensitive receptors. Regard will also be given to the advice in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges8 (DMRB); and  Preparation of an ES Chapter, appropriate figures and supporting appendices.

4.8 Air Quality

4.8.1 Key Issues In accordance with the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland9 and Part IV of the Environment Act10, RBG has and will continue to review the ambient air quality within their administrative boundary. As a result, RBG has designated the whole Borough as an AQMA owing to exceedances of the National Air Quality Strategy objective for annual mean nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and 24-hour mean particulate matter (PM10). Consequently, the Site is located within the AQMA. An Air Quality Action Plan11 was produced by RBG, setting out the policies and measures to be implemented to improve air quality in the Borough. The Site is within the Low Emission Zone and will be within the Ultra Low Emissions Zone which will take effect from 2020 whereby all vehicles entering the zone must meet specific exhaust emission standards or pay a daily charge. Current industrial activities close to the Site are known to produce odours. It will therefore be important to understand the baseline odour characteristics of the Site. It is anticipated that there could be the potential for construction works to affect local air quality through construction traffic and plant emissions, together with dust generation. The completed and operational Development has potential to change traffic flows in the area surrounding the Site, resulting in changes to traffic related emissions. Operations at the neighbouring safeguarded wharf will be another key issue for consideration in relation to the exposure of future occupants to potentially poor air quality and nuisance dust.

4.8.2 Likely Significant Effects The likely significant effects of the proposed Development on local air quality to be addressed in the ES are as follows:  Temporary generation of dust arising from the demolition and construction works leading to potential dust nuisance to surrounding sensitive receptors;  Temporary changes in traffic-related emissions during the demolition and construction works caused by construction vehicles, together with an increase in emissions from construction plant;  Long-term effects from the completed Development on local air quality and the AQMA, particularly in relation to NO2 and PM10 levels, due to emissions from traffic generated by the completed and operational Development and any heating plant emissions; and  Likely significant effects of operations at the adjacent wharf upon future residents and Site users.

4.8.3 Approach and Methodology The air quality assessment will be undertaken in accordance with relevant guidance and comprise the following:  Identification of potentially sensitive existing receptors which could be affected by changes in air quality that result from the construction and operation of the Development;  A review of baseline conditions through a review of relevant RBG air quality review and assessment documents and data from the monitoring network surrounding the Site;

 Undertake, in accordance with the methodologies set out in the Environment Agency’s H4 Guidance12 and the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM) Odour Guidance13, sensory odour ‘sniff tests’ around the Site to establish current odour levels;  A qualitative assessment of air quality effects during demolition and construction work, with reference to technical guidance (including the IAQM guidance14 and Mayor of London supplementary planning guidance15 documents);  Application of the ADMS-Roads air quality dispersion model, using data from the Applicant’s Transport Consultants, to assess the likely significant effects of traffic generated by the completed and operational Development on local air quality, particularly NO2 and PM10, and to assess the likely air quality conditions that would be experienced at the proposed residential units within the Development. The air quality model will be verified against the RBG diffusion tube on Woolwich Rd, Charlton located approximately 700m south-west of the Site;  Comparison of the predicted pollutant concentrations with monitored air quality concentrations, the UK air quality objectives and the Environmental Protection UK & IAQM significance criteria16;  A qualitative assessment of the potential dust impacts of the proposed adjacent safeguarded wharf, based on the Source-Pathway-Receptor approach set out in the IAQM guidance17;  Application of the ADMS air quality dispersion model, and plant emission data from the mechanical engineers to assess the likely effects of building plant on local air quality; and  Formulation of appropriate mitigation measures, where necessary. Consideration will be given to measures for controlling dust as set out in the Mayor of London and IAQM guidance documents. Guidance on Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG)18 published by the GLA in April 2014 to supplement the London Plan now requires that new developments within London are ‘air quality neutral’. To demonstrate this, building and transport emissions likely to be generated by the Development will be assessed against the Emission Benchmarks as set out within the SPG. The findings will be reported in an Air Quality Neutral Assessment that will be appended to the above air quality assessment. The result of the above would be summarised in an appropriate ES chapter with supporting figures. All technical data used in the air quality assessment will be appended to the ES.

4.9 Ecology

4.9.1 Key Issues An ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey of the Site and its surroundings was undertaken in March 2017. The results are reported in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) report presented as Appendix A. The Site itself is not subject to any statutory designations, however there are two statutory designated sites located within 1km of the Site:

EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 Gilbert’s Pit (Charlton) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) located approximately 750m to the south east of the Site. This SSSI has been designated for its geological value;  Maryon Wilson Park & Gilbert’s Pit Local Nature Reserve (LNR) also located approximately 750m to the south east of the Site. Part of the Site is located within one non-statutory site, the River Thames Site of Metropolitan Importance (SMI) for Nature Conservation. Furthermore, eleven other non-statutory designated sites are located within 2 km of the Site. The River Thames has been designated as an SMI due the number of valuable habitats it supports such as intertidal mud; a Habitat of Principal Importance (HoPI) under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006) which in turn support numerous notable aquatic fauna such as European eel (a Species of Principal Importance (SoPI) under the NERC Act 2006). Based on the results of an ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey undertaken in March 2017, the Site offers potential for black redstarts (listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981 (as amended) and the London Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP)), due to the habitats present on Site namely the industrial buildings and the River Thames river wall and associated habitats, which offer nesting and foraging habitat. Most the Site comprises hardstanding in the form of roads, public footpaths and car parking and commercial industrial style buildings. In addition, small patches of amenity and ephemeral / short perennial vegetation and scattered trees are also present on Site. Although no protected species surveys have been undertaken at the time of writing, it is considered that the Site has potential for black redstarts. However, an assessment of the Site’s value to these species cannot be made until further surveys have been undertaken. The Site extends northwards into an area of the River Thames which comprises river and subtidal / intertidal mud habitats. The Development proposals include refurbishment of the river wall adjacent to the intertidal habitat and a jetty over the intertidal habitat. However, no intrusive works to the river bed or intertidal area are proposed and therefore no assessment of potential impact to the intertidal habitat is proposed.

4.9.2 Likely Significant Effects

Potential ecological effects of the Development may include:  The loss and/or disturbance of nesting and foraging habitat for black redstarts.

4.9.3 Approach and Methodology An ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey of the Site and its surroundings was undertaken in March 2017. The results are reported in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) report which is submitted with this Scoping Report to assist RBG in formulating their Scoping Opinion. In addition to the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey, Phase 2 protected species surveys for black redstarts will be undertaken, which will follow best practice guidance (Morgan and Glue, 1977). The results of the above surveys would be summarised within the Ecology ES chapter, setting out the potential effects of the proposed Development on relevant habitats and fauna, any mitigation measures

15 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

required to remove, reduce or offset potential effects, and an assessment of residual effects, taking mitigation measures into account.

4.10 Archaeology

4.10.1 Key Issues A Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) of the Site has been undertaken as is submitted as Appendix B. It identifies and assesses the significance of, and potential for, heritage assets within the Site and its environs, as required by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Potential effects to designated built heritage will be addressed separately, in Volume 3 of the ES, and will not form part of Archaeology ES chapter. The Site is within an Archaeological Priority Area, as defined by RBG and Historic England. There are no other designated heritage assets within the Site or immediate surrounds. A geo-archaeological evaluation on the Thames Barrier Security Works, adjacent to the Site, revealed well-preserved paleo-environmental deposits ranging in date from the Mesolithic, through to Neolithic and Bronze Age. A watching brief on reconstruction of the river wall at Stone Wharf to the west of Site recovered several timbers from the foreshore and from behind the river wall which originated from nineteenth century Royal Navy warships.

4.10.2 Likely Significant Effects Significant effects are most likely to occur during the construction phase of the proposed Development. This would include ground disturbing works such as excavation of foundations and services as well as the grubbing out of foundations during demolition. It may also include any excavation works relating to the riverside wall or alterations to the jetty, although no intrusive excavation works are currently proposed for these two structures. The Historic Environment DBA presented in Appendix B notes the following with regards to the Site:  Potential palaeo-environmental deposits in undisturbed ground up to -10m OD;  Potential for evidence of industrial use of foreshore from the Prehistoric to the present day; and  Confirmation is required as to whether the structure currently in use as the Bunker 51 laser tag centre is a cold war nuclear bunker, as indicated through anecdotal evidence.

4.10.3 Approach and Methodology The Historic Environment DBA is submitted with this Scoping Report to assist RBG in formulating their Scoping Opinion. The DBA includes the following:  A review of data held on the Greater London Historic Environment Records;  Consultation of historical sources at relevant archives and online databases. A history of the Site is outlined in the report;  A review of national planning policy and RBG’s heritage related planning policy;  A walk-over survey of Site;

16 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 An appraisal of designated and non-designated heritage assets and recorded features of heritage significance within the Site and its immediate environs which may be impacted by the Development; and  An assessment of the potential for features of heritage significance within the Site including previously unknown below-ground archaeology. The Historic Environment DBA report will be appended to the ES and summarised within the Archaeology ES chapter. The ES chapter will include an assessment of potential effects of the proposed Development on any archaeology or archaeological potential within the Site and its surroundings. If necessary, mitigation measures will be recommended and resultant residual effects assessed.

4.11 Ground Conditions and Contamination

4.11.1 Key Issues A Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (PERA) has been completed for the Site and is presented as Appendix C. Historically, the Site has supported industrial uses since at least the 1890s, including a timber yard, wharf, chemical works and glass works. Historical mapping shows the Site in its current form from the 1980s, with recent Site uses including a depot. There exists the potential for Site uses to have resulted in contamination of the underlying soil and groundwater. Geological maps and borehole records for the area indicate the Site is underlain by Made Ground over Alluvium, Kempton Park Gravel Formation and Chalk. The Alluvium is classified by the Environment Agency as a Secondary (Undifferentiated) Aquifer, whilst the Kempton Park Gravel Formation and Upper Chalk Formation are classified as a Secondary A and Principal Aquifer respectively. The River Thames is located adjacent to the north of the Site. There exists potential for piling and other intrusive sub-structure works to create a risk of disturbance to, and release of, contaminated materials.

4.11.2 Likely Significant Effects In consideration of the above, potential ground condition and contamination effects to be addressed as part of the EIA include:  Risks to future Site users from contamination;  Health and safety risks to workers during demolition and construction works from any contaminated soils, groundwater, airborne dust, ground gases and vapours;  Potential risks to groundwater and surface water resources from the release of any existing contamination and new sources of accidental contamination during the construction works;  The creation of new pollution pathways (for example via piling) through which existing ground contamination may migrate to underlying aquifers;  The appropriate management of any contaminated soils or hazardous materials that require treatment or removal from the Site;  Risks to vegetation in proposed landscaped areas from contamination; and

17 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 Effects upon buried concrete and underground infrastructure.

4.11.3 Approach and Methodology The Ground Conditions assessment will be undertaken by Waterman and will comprise the following:  A Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (PERA) has been completed in accordance with current legislative requirements, best practice standards (CLR 7 to 11) and the proposed Development. This determines the baseline conditions at the Site and presents a Site Conceptual Model (CSM) which relates historical Site uses and anticipated ground conditions to the Development, thereby assessing potential contamination risks associated with the construction works of the Development and on completion of the Development;  The desk-based PERA will be used to inform the ground conditions and contamination assessment presented in the ES;  The ES will describe the likely pollution sources on Site, and present an assessment of the likely significant effects of the Development on ground conditions and contamination. The PERA will be appended to the ES;  The assessment will also include an outline description of appropriate construction methods, particularly in relation to piling and other penetrative activities, to minimise groundwater effects and the creation of pollution pathways. The proposals will be based on current pollution prevention guidance and good practice;  The ES chapter will also outline measures to protect Site workers, the public, and future users of the Site from any contamination present and the formulation of procedures for the appropriate handling, licensing and management of contaminated and hazardous materials that are to be treated or removed from Site; and  If required, the Chapter will discuss the need for the development of a Remedial Strategy for the Development.

4.12 Water Resources and Flood Risk

4.12.1 Key Issues Apart from the jetty in the north of the Site, most of the Site is located immediately to the south of the River Thames. According to the Environment Agency’s Flood Map for Planning, the Site is located within Flood Zone 3 and is therefore considered to have a high probability of tidal and/or fluvial flooding. However, most of the Site is protected from flooding up to the 1 in 1000-year standard by the River Thames defences. Therefore, despite being located within an area at a high probability of flooding, the Site will be protected from tidal flooding assuming normal operation of the River Thames defences. The only part of the Site that is not protected by the River Thames defences is the jetty which extends into the River Thames to the north of the Site.

4.12.2 Likely Significant Effects The following likely significant effects will be assessed and presented in the ES:  Design of the proposed Development to ensure flooding from all sources is appropriately dealt with;

18 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 Proximity of the Development to the River Thames defences;  Potential change in groundwater flow during the construction of the basement;  Potential changes to the surface water drainage regime because of changes to the proportion of hard and soft landscaping and the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS); and  Increased demand on potable water supply and foul water on completion of the Development.

4.12.3 Approach and Methodology A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) will be undertaken and appended to the ES. Consideration will be given in the FRA to the risk of flooding from all sources; primarily overtopping and breaching of the flood defences. It will also include an assessment of surface water runoff in accordance with the NPPF, London Plan and RBG guidelines. The feasibility of the inclusion of SUDS will also be set out in the FRA, together with a separate Drainage Strategy document. The Environment Agency will be consulted to confirm the principles of the Development and to obtain current and relevant flood risk / breach data for the River Thames, whilst Thames Water will be consulted regarding the proposed discharge rates for the proposed Development. As Lead Local Flood Authority, RBG will be consulted with regard to surface water drainage and SUDS. The findings of the FRA and Drainage Strategy will be summarised in the ES. Based on these findings, a qualitative assessment of the above likely significant effects will be undertaken.

4.13 Wind

4.13.1 Key Issues The change in Site massing created by the proposed Development would have the potential to influence the ground wind speed and direction on, and adjacent to, the Site. This could affect the associated relative ‘comfort’ and, possibly, safety for pedestrians using the Site and its surrounds. In addition, it is important that the design process considers the conditions on balconies and terraces above ground level to ensure that they are suitable for their intended use. Therefore, the assessment will consider both pedestrian level and terrace/balcony level effects.

4.13.2 Likely Significant Effects The wind assessment will focus on the relative comfort and safety of Site users and users of the areas surrounding the Site on completion of the Development. The following likely significant effects have been identified:  Temporary changes in the local wind environment during the demolition and construction works;  A change in the wind conditions on surrounding roads and pavements, such as Herringham Road and the Thames River Path once the Development is completed;  The safety and comfort of pedestrians using the Site, notably within new areas of public realm and at building entrances; and  The safety and comfort of users of the balconies and terraces proposed within the Development and on the jetty in the north of the Site.

19 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

4.13.3 Approach and Methodology Wind tunnel tests will be carried out for the Development by a specialist wind engineering consultancy. The assessment will focus on the comparison of the wind microclimate with the intended pedestrian use of the Site with consideration also given to proposed amenity areas, balconies and terraces within the proposed Development. The assessment will consider wind from all wind directions and will be based upon long-term meteorological data for the Site. A full statistical breakdown of the wind microclimate at locations on main pedestrian routes, likely seating areas and main building entrances will be provided. Where required, mitigation measures would be identified and tested, if possible, to ensure that the conditions on the Site would be suitable for the desired use. The conclusions of the wind tunnel testing will be summarised in an ES chapter and the full wind tunnel test results appended to the ES. A qualitative assessment of the likely significant effects of the demolition and construction works will be undertaken using professional judgement.

4.14 Townscape, Visual and Built Heritage

4.14.1 Key Issues The existing townscape comprises a mix of utilitarian industrial development of varying scale and type, which includes both buildings and industrial machinery. The River Thames forms a physical boundary to the north, affording views of the area from the north bank of the river. The Thames Barrier is a notable landmark to the east. Within the Site there is a five-storey building fronting Herringham Road which dates from the 1950s. To the rear and west of this main building there is a large, lower scale building with cast iron roof, and a car park to the east. The built form on the Site is not of any landmark quality, and the views of the Site are limited and of no notable interest. The primary approach to the Site is from the south east on Herringham Road, where the Site is regarded in the industrial townscape context. There are no designated built heritage assets within the Site boundary. The existing buildings on the Site are of poor quality and no historical or architectural interest. There is reportedly a former wartime bunker at the north-eastern corner of the Site. Research will be undertaken to establish if it is of any special historic or architectural interest, although initial investigations do not indicate any special interest. In accordance with paragraph 128 of the NPPF, a proportionate approach has been taken to the identification and assessment of built heritage assets. As such, at this initial stage we have identified all designated heritage assets within a 1km radius of the Site, and only Grade I and II* listed buildings and other designated heritage assets in a 1-2km radius of the Site. There are no designated heritage assets within a 500m radius of the Site. There is, however, one locally listed building approximately 460m west of the Site (the Anchor & Hope Public House). Locally listed buildings are considered non-designated heritage asset in terms of the NPPF. We have also had regard to the draft Charlton Riverside Employment & Heritage Study. This document identifies several non-designated heritage assets within the Charlton Riverside area which will be considered in the assessment. These non-designated heritage assets are not locally listed, however.

20 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

Within a 1km radius of the Site there are four listed buildings, all of which are designated at Grade II. Within 1-2km of the Site, there are 10 listed buildings (Grade I and II* only), two conservation areas, and one Scheduled Ancient Monument. T regard to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and Buffer Zone, which is located 3km south west of the Site, and includes the long views from the raised ground at Greenwich Park, a Grade I Registered Park and Garden. The impact of the proposed Development on the setting of these heritage assets will be considered in the Townscape, Visual and Built Heritage volume of the ES.

4.14.2 Likely Significant Effects The change in use, alignment, height, scale and massing on the Site from the proposed Development, together with the provision of new buildings and public realm, would significantly alter the existing townscape character, as well as views to, from, and through the Site. The setting and context of nearby built heritage receptors, including listed and locally listed buildings, and conservation areas, could also be affected. The sensitivity of the townscape, visual and built heritage receptors will be assessed as high, medium or low, depending on the importance, value and quality of the receptor. The assessment considers the contribution to the townscape or view of any listed buildings or conservation areas, and other areas, and the amenity value of the viewing location and area in which it is located. The assessment of the sensitivity of the receptor under consideration is moderated to consider a judgement about its quality in the round. The magnitude of the change to the composition and/or character of the receptor resulting from the proposed Development takes account of factors including the proximity, scale and the contribution of the proposed Development to the townscape character or composition of the view. The magnitude of the change resulting from the proposed Development will be assessed as major, moderate, minor or negligible. The final assessment of the significance of effect is based on an assessment of the nature of the existing condition of the receptor and its sensitivity to change, combined with an assessment of the nature and magnitude of proposed change, made through relevant guidance and policy and based on professional judgement and experience. For effects judged to be minor, moderate or major, the significance of effect is further categorised as beneficial, neutral or adverse. Where the effect is minor, moderate or major, good design can reduce or remove potential harm or provide enhancement, and design quality may be the main consideration in determining the balance of harm and benefit. Finally, an overall assessment of cumulative effects i.e. of the effect of the proposed Development considering other proposed and consented schemes, will also be provided. The approach to cumulative assessment will be to consider the effects of the Proposed Development in combination with the cumulative schemes. In summary, the EIA will address the following potential townscape, visual and built heritage effects during both construction and operational phases of the proposed Development:  Changes to the character, context and quality of the local townscape arising from the proposed Development;

21 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 Effects upon the views of the Site as agreed with the local authority, where these may include views which are statutorily or locally identified as important;  Effects upon the setting and heritage value of listed and locally listed buildings and conservation areas in proximity to the Site; and  Effect upon the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.

4.14.3 Approach and Methodology A full townscape, visual and built heritage (TVBH) assessment will be undertaken and will be presented as Volume 3 of the ES. This will include an account of the historical development of the Site and its surrounds, and an assessment and evaluation of the existing townscape character, visual quality and built heritage features of the surrounding area through desk-based analysis and field study. This baseline work will inform the assessment of the impact of the proposed Development.

Townscape Assessment of the effect of any proposed development on an area of townscape or view is made using professional judgement together with consideration of relevant planning policies and guidance. It is based on the methodology set out in the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment Third Edition (GLVIA) (2013), and supplemented by advice contained in the London View Management Framework (LVMF) Supplementary Planning Guidance. An assessment will be made of the Site and surrounding townscape in its existing state. This will be based on a study of the historic development of the area using relevant publications, and a study of the present-day condition of the area based on Site survey and desk-based research. This analysis will inform the division of the study area into townscape character areas, i.e. geographical areas which have readily identifiable characteristics in common.

Views The study area for the visual assessment will be centred on the Site and limited to locations from which the Site can be seen, or from which new buildings on the Site have the potential to result in a significant visual impact at the height proposed. Viewpoints will be identified using the following method, and informed by previous experience of projects in the wider area around the Site. Four principal types of viewing location are identified:  Views designated in the LVMF;  Views that have been identified as locally significant by RBG or others, e.g. in relevant planning policy and guidance documents, or Conservation Area appraisals;  Other sensitive locations or views, including those viewpoints in which the proposed Development may significantly affect the settings of built heritage receptors; and  Representative townscape locations from which the proposed Development will be visible, including views across open spaces and along streets that align with the Site. The set of viewpoints will be chosen so that it covers:  The range of points of the compass from which the proposed Development will be visible;

22 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

 A range of distances from the Site; and  Different types of townscape area. Possible locations in these categories within the study area will be identified based on site survey, testing using a three-dimensional computer model of the Site and its context, and locations of local heritage assets. The viewpoint locations will be agreed with RBG. To assess the full range of potential visual impacts of the proposed Development, three separate verified images will be prepared from each viewing location selected:  Existing – the view as it exists currently;  Proposed – with the proposed Development inserted in wireline or render form; and  Cumulative – with the proposed Development inserted in wireline or render form with any cumulative schemes shown in wireline form – to be agreed with RBG. Images as proposed will take the form of Accurate Visual Representations (AVRs) produced by accurately inserting images of the proposed Development created based on a three-dimensional computer model of the proposed Development into surveyed existing photography. The method by which AVRs are produced will be described in the assessment document. Where appropriate, the view as proposed will be shown as a fully rendered image, showing the proposed new buildings and landscape treatment in a realistic manner. In other cases, the proposed buildings will be shown diagrammatically, in a wireline outline. For each of the identified views, a description of the view as existing will be given, describing its character, quality and sensitivity to change. A description of the view as proposed will then be given with a narrative assessment, based on the method set out above, of the effect that the proposed Development will have on the composition, quality and character of the view. Where other developments in the wider area which are proposed, or which have been granted consent, would be visible to a significant extent in the view, a further image showing these schemes together with the proposed Development will be produced, and a further assessment of the cumulative effects, if any, will be provided for each view. The assessment could also consider how potential impacts would vary with seasonal change and changes in atmospheric conditions where applicable, if desired by the local planning authority.

Built Heritage The built heritage assessment will have regard to the relevant statutory considerations applying to the setting of listed buildings, i.e. Sections 16 (2) and 66 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, and recent case law establishing the great importance and weight which attaches to the avoidance of harm. Where a proposal may affect the surroundings in which an asset is experienced, a qualitative assessment will be made of whether, how and to what degree setting contributes to the heritage value of assets. The assessment will proceed the basis of published best practice guidance and the staged approach advised therein.

23 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

This advice is set out in the Historic England GPA series, on the definition of significance and the assessment of development in the setting of assets on significance. Significance will be defined per the NPPF’s definition, mindful of other relevant best practice notes. Setting is defined in the NPPF as “the surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral”.

4.15 Cumulative Effects

4.15.1 Key Issues The EIA Regulations require that, in assessing the likely significant effects of a development proposal, consideration is also given to the likely significant cumulative effects that may arise from the proposal in conjunction with other scheme proposals in the vicinity. Cumulative effects are those effects of a development that may interact in an additive or subtractive manner with the effects of other reasonably foreseeable schemes that are not currently in existence, but are likely to be by the time the Development is implemented.

4.15.2 Likely Significant Effects Cumulative effects can be categorised into two types:  Type 1 Effects: the combined effects of individual effects resultant from the Development upon a set of defined sensitive receptors, for example noise, dust and visual effects; and  Type 2 Effects: the combined effects arising from the Development together with other reasonably foreseeable schemes, which individually might be insignificant, but when considered together, could create a significant cumulative impact.

4.15.3 Approach and Methodology Potential Type 1 effects for the Development will be assessed for the demolition and construction works qualitatively, taking account the findings of the assessments above, together with the demolition and construction programme for the Development. A set of specific criteria have been established to determine the ‘other’ schemes to be included within the Type 2 cumulative assessment. The criteria are:  Schemes within 1km of the Site and with a valid planning permission which have a floorspace uplift of greater than 10,000m2 Gross External Area (GEA);  Schemes within 1km of the Site and with a valid planning permission, which have a floorspace uplift in GEA of less than 10,000m2 but would introduce sensitive receptors near to the Site. Accordingly, we have identified the following proposed schemes as being within 1km of the Site and having the potential to result in cumulative effects with the Development: 1.

5. Non-Significant Effects

5.1 Waste It is inevitable that waste would be generated during the demolition and construction works owing to the demolition of all buildings on the Site. This would be the case for any redevelopment project and the critical aspect is how waste is managed. Similarly, there would also be a likely increase in the volume of waste generated following completion of the proposed Development. However, the increase is not considered significant in the context of the administrative area of RBG. Furthermore, the redevelopment proposals would inherently incorporate appropriate space for waste storage and recycling facilities in accordance with the requirements set out by RBG. In conclusion, it is considered that waste should be scoped out of the EIA because waste effects, which are related to waste management, would be insignificant. Nevertheless, the management of waste arising from the Site will be summarised in Chapter 5: The Proposed Development and Chapter 6: Development Programme, Demolition and Construction of the ES and in the Sustainability Appraisal that will be prepared as a standalone document to accompany the planning application.

5.2 Daylight, Sunlight, Overshadowing, Light Pollution and Solar Glare

Existing Potential Receptors There are no residential properties within 500m of the Site. Therefore, the proposed Development will not have any impact on the levels of daylight and sunlight received by any existing residential receptor. Similarly, existing residential receptors are too distant to be affected by any possible light pollution or solar glare emitted by the proposed Development. The closest area of open green space to the Site is the Barrier Park, located to the south-east of the Site, and therefore at an orientation which will not be affected by any overshadowing from the proposed Development. Therefore, assessment of potential impacts to daylight, sunlight, overshadowing, light pollution and solar glare to existing potential receptors can be scoped-out of this EIA.

Proposed Potential Receptors Whilst daylight and sunlight levels within the proposed Development’s residential units and overshadowing of the proposed amenity and public spaces to be provided by the proposed Development will be of material planning consideration, the purpose of an EIA is to assess the likely significant effects of new schemes upon the existing environment. Accordingly, it is not the purpose of an EIA to assess the effects of a new scheme upon itself. For this reason, it is proposed to scope the analysis of the daylight, sunlight, overshadowing, light pollution and solar glare levels within the proposed Development out of the EIA. However, such analysis will be undertaken to support and inform the overall design process and will be reported separately to support the planning application, either as a standalone report or within the Design and Access Statement.

5.3 Telecommunications Analogue television broadcast has now been phased out and replaced by digital television, which is largely unaffected by atmospheric conditions that rendered analogue television unwatchable, and does

26 EIA Scoping Report Project Number: WIE12416 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR \\nt-lncs\WiEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\2. EIA Scoping Report\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-3-SR.docx

not suffer reflection effects and ghosted image generation. Given the switch to digital television broadcast, the Development will be highly unlikely to cause any adverse effects to digital television. With respect to mobile telephone reception, the Development is in an area of buildings generally of a similar scale. Therefore, it is considered unlikely that the Development will cause significant additional signal interference. On this basis, it is considered that telecommunications can be scoped out of the EIA.

5.4 Aviation No significant effects on aviation are likely to be caused by the Development, both due to the likely height of new buildings and distance from the nearest airport and flight paths. As such, it is considered that aviation can be scoped out of the EIA.

1. Introduction

1.1. Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Ltd (Waterman) was commissioned by The Komoto Group Ltd to carry out a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) at an area of land known as Herringham Road located in the Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’). 1.2. At this early stage in the design process, it is anticipated that the proposed development would be mainly residential with some associated commercial and retail elements, with a maximum total floorspace of approximately 53,000m2. The development is likely to include non-intrusive refurbishment and raising of the Thames River Wall and the refurbishment of the jetty in the north of the Site (hereafter referred to as the ‘Development’). 1.3. The Site is approximately 1.75 hectares (ha) in area and centred on Ordnance Survey Grid Reference TQ 41284 79191. Currently, the Site is almost entirely occupied by industrial and commercial land uses, including several interconnected multi-level warehouses and office buildings, each with associated external areas. Commercial operations include go-karting, paintball and laser tag, offices, a church, a car sales company and a lorry depot. A brick-housed electricity sub-station is on Site to the north east of. The Site includes a wooden jetty which extends northwards into the River Thames. 1.4. This PEA includes an ecological data search and an ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey, preliminary bat roost inspection at buildings (external) / trees (ground based) and a survey for common invasive weeds. 1.5. As detailed within industry guidance1, a PEA can be used to support a planning application if no ‘Important Ecological Features’ (IEF’s) are identified and no significant ecological effects are anticipated. If this is not the case an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) is normally required by the Local Planning Authority (LPA). This Development has been determined to be subject to EIA regulations and therefore the EcIA will be a presented as a Chapter within the Environmental Statement, to support the proposed outline planning application. 1.6. The purpose of this report is to:  Identify the potential for IEFs to be present within the identified Zone of Influence (ZoI) and any resulting constraints or significant ecological effects to the Development;  Inform scheme design to allow any potential significant ecological effects to be avoided or minimised wherever possible;  Allow any further ecological assessments needed to inform an EcIA to be identified and appropriately designed, as required;  Allow likely mitigation, compensation and ecological enhancement measures to be developed, to ensure compliance with nature conservation legislation and planning policy (as summarised in Appendix A); and  Form a basis for agreeing the scope of the EcIA with relevant consultees, as required.

2. Methodology

Scope of the Assessment 2.1. This section summarises the methodologies used for undertaking the PEA based on current guidelines2,3,4. This PEA included an ecological data search, ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey, external building and ground based tree inspections for roosting bats and a survey for common invasive weeds. 2.2. The ZoI is the area(s) over which ecological features maybe impacted by the biophysical changes caused by the proposed Development. Based on the scale and nature of the Development, it has been assessed that the ZoI arising from these works is unlikely to be greater than 1km (terrestrially and aquatically) from the Site. Therefore, this distance has been used to collect the ecological data search information. The ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat survey area comprised primarily the Site, and where possible, adjacent land was surveyed. In addition, aerial photography was reviewed to help establish the Site in the wider context of the location. 2.3. As referenced in industry guidance5, IEFs that are anticipated to be affected by the Development have been identified and assessed. In this report, designated sites, habitats and species that fall into the categories in Table 1 and Table 2 have been identified as being ecologically important and/or legally protected/controlled and formed the scope of data gathering during the data search and Site surveys.

Ecological Data Search 2.4. The aim of the ecological data search is to collate existing ecological records for the Site and adjacent areas. Obtaining existing records is an important part of the evaluation process, as it provides additional information that may not be apparent during a site survey. 2.5. An ecological desk study was undertaken in March 2017, during which all records of protected species, and/or other notable fauna and flora within 1km of the Site were requested from GiGL. In addition, data collected by the Environment Agency (EA) from the two closest data collection points for fish and aquatic invertebrates, located approximately 3.5km from the Site, was obtained. 2.6. Records of important statutory and non-statutory sites designated for their nature conservation value within 1km of the Site were also requested from GiGL and searched for on the Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside9. 2.7. Within London, non-statutory sites are ranked at varying levels of nature conservation importance:  Site of Metropolitan Importance (SMI) for Nature Conservation, important at the county scale for nature conservation;  Site of Borough Grade 1 and Grade 2 Importance (SBI and SBII) for Nature Conservation, important at the district scale for nature conservation; and  Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC), important at the local scale for nature conservation. 2.8. In addition, Habitats of Principal Importance (HoPI) and Species of Principal Importance (SoPI) listed under Section 41 (S41) of the NERC Act, as well as Habitat Action Plans (HAPs) and

Species Action Plans (SAPs) listed under London Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) and the Greenwich Biodiversity Action Plan (GBAP), were consulted to assign an ecological context to the Site.

Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey 2.9. An ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey of the Site was undertaken on the 8th of March 2017 using the Joint Nature Conservancy Council10 standard ‘Phase 1’ survey technique. The Phase 1 Habitat Survey methodology was ‘Extended’ by undertaking an assessment of the Site to support protected and notable faunal species. All habitat types within the Site were mapped (Figure 1). 2.10. Where access allowed, adjacent habitats were also considered to assess the Site within the wider landscape and to provide information with which to assess possible impacts of the proposed Development within the predicted ZoI. 2.11. A detailed floral species list was collated for the Site during the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey. As such, the species list detailed within the results section of this report can be used to inform any future BREEAM reports (specific assessment guidelines dependant).

Invasive Species Assessment 2.12. The list of invasive plant species included on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) is extensive and these plants are found in a range of different habitats, including aquatic habitats. The ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey checked for the presence of common invasive species including; Japanese knotweed Fallopia japonica, giant knotweed Fallopia sachalinensis, hybrid knotweed Fallopia baldschuanica, giant hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum and Himalayan balsam Impatiens glandulifera.

Preliminary Bat Roost Inspections

Buildings and Structures 2.13. As part of the preliminary roost inspection an external building/structure survey for bats was undertaken was undertaken in combination with the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey. The survey was based on current best practice guidelines11. 2.14. An assessment of each building/structure was made in terms of its suitability to support roosting bats. The survey consisted of a visual inspection of the exterior of the building/structure for evidence of bat use (e.g. droppings, scratch marks, staining and sightings). Several factors were considered, including the presence of features suitable for use by roosting bats, proximity to foraging habitats or cover and potential for disturbance. Notes were made relating to relevant characteristics of features providing potential access points and roosting opportunities for bats. Based on the findings of the external and internal inspections, a potential rating for the building/structure to be used as a bat roost was assigned (rated as negligible, low, moderate or high bat roost potential) or classified as a roost if evidence was recorded.

Trees 2.15. As part of the preliminary roost inspection a ground based visual inspection of trees on the Site for bat roost potential was undertaken in combination with the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey, guided by current best practice guidelines. 2.16. Binoculars were used to inspect the trees from the ground to the canopy to look for features indicative of bat roosts. Signs of bat use such as droppings, staining from the fur or urine and scratches around the entry points were also inspected where applicable. 2.17. Following the ground based visual inspections, the trees were scored as per the criteria set out in Table 3, based on adapted current best practice guidelines, to determine their potential to support roosting bats.

Table 3: Adapted Tree Assessment Guidelines Assigned Bat Roosting Potential Description

Known or confirmed roost Evidence of roosting bats within the tree. High Trees with multiple, highly suitable features capable of supporting roosts. Moderate Trees with definite bat potential, supporting fewer suitable features than category ‘high’ trees. Low Trees with no obvious potential, although the tree is of a size and age that aerial surveys may result in cracks or crevices being found; or the tree supports some features which may have limited potential to support bats. Negligible Trees with no potential to support bat roosts.

Assessment 2.18. Data gathered as part of this PEA has been used to identify potential IEFs (i.e. designated sites, habitats and species as listed in Tables 1 and 2) that are anticipated to be affected by the Development within the ZoI (up to 1km terrestrially and aquatically from the Site).

2.19. However, not all the IEFs within the ZoI have the potential to be significantly affected by the Development, or the legislation pertaining to them to be contravened. Therefore, where features are unlikely to be affected by the Development, or where any effects that impacting IEFs are unlikely to be significant, for the reasons12 listed below, such features have been scoped out of the assessment:  No pathway of effect has been identified, for example the feature is sufficient distance from the Site or there is the presence of a barrier between its location and the Site13 ; or

12 Positive or negative effects on ecological features that have the potential to influence a planning decision are significant

13 Whilst the ZoI of potential effect arising the from the development is up to 1km from the Site, the ecological ZoI (within which the feature could be affected) for each feature may vary and for some features may be much less, e.g. great crested newts generally move up to a maximum of 500m from a breeding pond and movement can be restricted by barriers such as busy roads and fast flowing rivers

 The feature is of insufficient biodiversity conservation value within the ZoI, due to its quality, extent or population size14. 2.20. For all remaining features scoped into the assessment, the pathway of effect (e.g. habitat loss, lighting, noise etc.) and potential impact of this on the feature have been identified.

Constraints and Limitations 2.21. Although the Site survey was conducted outside of the optimal season for Phase 1 Habitat Surveys (April-September) when most plant species are visible, the timing of the survey was considered suitable given the context of the Site within its surroundings and the habitats it supports. All plants were identified through their floristic (where possible) and vegetative characteristics. 2.22. All other contractors, designers and the client should be aware of the following: The design recommendations within this report are assessed to be the most effective ecological solution at this initial stage of the project. No other pre-construction information has been provided, obtained or referred to during the preparation of this report (including, but not limited to, services information, geotechnical reports and ordnance reports). In deciding whether and how to progress with this project, it will be incumbent upon the client, designers and contractors to obtain and refer to relevant pre-construction and maintenance information, as required by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations to ensure compliance. Waterman can assist with the development and co-ordination of this design to support effective risk management on this project upon request.

14 E.g. whilst a Priority Species such as skylark or house sparrow is of National importance (Table 2), the impact of development on individual or a small population of such a species, which are generally commonly found, is unlikely to be assessed as significant

3. Results

Desk Study

Statutory Sites 3.1. Two statutory designated sites, one SSSI and one LNR, are located within 1km of the centre of the Site, as described in Table 4 below. It should be noted that the distances provided in Table 4 below are taken from the central grid reference of the Site and therefore are approximate.

Table 4: Summery of Desk Study Results of Statutory Sites within1km of the Site Site Name Designation Approximate Distance Description from Site Gilbert’s Pit (Charlton) SSSI 0.7km south east Gilbert's Pit provides one of the most complete sections through the Lower Tertiary beds in the Greater London area. It forms a key Tertiary site for stratigraphic studies and is particularly important for a palaeogeographic reconstruction of the Woolwich and Reading Beds. This site has been designated for its geological value. Maryon Wilson Park & Local Nature Reserve 0.7km south east Maryon Park and Gilbert’s Pit Gilbert's Pit have a mix of acid grassland, with abundant mouse-ear hawkweed and a good assemblage of burrowing hymenoptera (bees and wasps), scrub of gorse and broom, and secondary woodland.

Non-Statutory Sites 3.2. The Site is partially located within one non-statutory site, the River Thames SMI. Furthermore, eleven other non-statutory designated sites are located within 2km of the Site. The closest of these, within 1km of the Site boundary have been detailed in Table 5 below. It should be noted that the distances provided in Table 5 below are taken from the central grid reference of the Site and therefore are approximate.

Site Name Designation Distance from Site Description River Thames and Tidal SMI On site The River Thames and Tributaries the tidal sections of creeks and rivers which flow into it comprise several valuable habitats not found elsewhere in London. The mud-flats, shingle beach, inter-tidal vegetation, islands and river channel itself support many species from freshwater, estuarine and marine communities which are rare in London. Eastmoor Street Park SBII 0.3km east A recently created park with a good range of habitats. The northern section of the park is managed for nature conservation. The grasslands support large populations of common butterflies and other invertebrates. A small pond has sea club-rush (Bolboschoenus maritimus) in the margins and supports dragonflies including common darter and common blue damselfly. The southern section of the park is more formally managed, but has substantial plantings of native shrubs and trees. Maryon Park, Gilbert’s SBI 0.7km south east Maryon Park contains a Pit and Maryon Wilson mix of acid grassland, Park with abundant mouse- ear hawkweed (Pilosella officinalis) and a good assemblage of burrowing hymenoptera, scrub of gorse (Ulex europaeus) and broom (Cytisus scoparius), and secondary woodland. Maryon Wilson Park, to the south, is more formal, but contains interesting areas of scrub, woodland and grassland.

Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey

Habitats 3.5. The following habitat types, described in more detail below, were identified on and directly adjacent to the Site during the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey:  Amenity grassland;  Buildings;  Ephemeral short perennial  Hardstanding;  Intertidal mudflats;  Running water; and  Scattered trees. 3.6. The habitat descriptions given below should be read in conjunction with Figure 1, the target notes presented in Appendix B and the photographs (Plates) presented in Appendix C.

Amenity Grassland 3.7. Amenity grassland was located surrounding scattered trees present on the Thames Path (Plate 1), located to the northern boundary and adjacent to the eastern edge of Building 1 (B1) of the Site. The grass sward was short and predominantly comprised perennial rye grass Lolium perenne, fescue species Festuca spp. and common bent Agrostis capillaris. In addition, the following common herb species were recorded herb Robert Geranium robertianum, cut-leaved cranesbill Geranium dissectum, common mouse-ear Cerastium fontanum, groundsel Senecio vulgaris, mallow species Malva spp. speedwell species Veronica spp. and cleavers Galium aparine. The total extent of the amenity grassland was approximately 15m2 in area.

Buildings and Structures 3.8. Three buildings are present on Site (Figure 1). Building 1 (B1) dominates the Site and is used for a number commercial enterprises, B2 is used for storing salt and B3 is an electricity substation. B1 (Plate 2, 3 and 4) was initially constructed in the 1960s and been extended to over a period of time

10 Herringham Road Project Number: WIE12416-100 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-3-1-7-PEA- \\s-lncs\WIEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\3. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal\WIE12416-100_3_1_7_PEA.docx

and therefore has resulted in the building having a mix of brick, corrugated metal, glass, plastic and rendered exteriors. In addition, B1 has both a flat and pitch roof and has PVC windows. 3.9. B2 is a small dome-shaped building (Plate 5) which is open access (Plate 6) and used to store salt. B2 is of wooden construction with hanging asphalt tiles, some of which are lifted (Plate 7Error! Reference source not found.) however, on closer inspection, the lifted tiles lead directly in to the interior of the building which is flood lit. 3.10. B3 is a small, flat roofed building and of brick construction with the northern and western aspects having large advertising banners flush up against the walls (Plate 8). No cracks or crevices were identified within the bricks and mortar. 3.11. In addition to B1, B2 and B3 a redundant ‘L-shaped’ wooden jetty with concrete support pillars (TN1, Plate 9) is present to the north east of the Site. Patches of buddleia species Buddleja spp and algae has colonised the wooden jetty.

Ephemeral short perennial 3.12. Small sporadic patches of ephemeral short perennial are located primarily along fence boundaries and to the north of B1 (Plate 10). The species recorded are similar to the amenity grassland however, there was a higher concentration of herb species and more of a sporadic self-seeding of grass species. 3.13. The total area of the ephemeral short perennial was approximately 15m2.

Hardstanding 3.14. A large proportion of the Site is hardstanding (approximately 50%) (Plate 11), with the majority in use as a carpark. The hardstanding is largely devoid of vegetation with small sporadic patches of ephemeral short perennial (species as detailed above) and buddleia species.

Intertidal mudflats 3.15. Intertidal mudflat habitat was recorded present on Site, located to the north as part of the River Thames foreshore (Plate 12, 13 and 14). The River Thames was visited at a relatively low tide providing a clear view of the habitat. 3.16. The substrate comprised a mixture of gravely and sandy sediments. Driftwood was present throughout and algae had colonised the wood and some of the larger pebbles / rocks. To the western area of the habitat, in some areas, tufted hair grass and buddleia had colonised the substrate. 3.17. The length of the exposed intertidal mudflats on the Site side of the Thames varied from approximately 30m to 40m into the river. 3.18. Intertidal mudflats are listed as a Habitat of Principal Importance (HoPI) as this habitat traditionally supports a wide range of biotopes (sandy mud shores, soft muddy shores and muddy sand shore) which in turn supports macroinvertebrate fauna, microalgae, fish and birds15.

Running Water / Rivers 3.19. Present on Site to the north, lies the River Thames. The River Thames is a tidal waterbody and was visited at a relatively low tide.

3.20. The area of the Thames is surrounded by industrial sites and the Thames Tidal Barrier is adjacent to the eastern boundary. 3.21. The River Thames is considered to qualify as a ‘Rivers’ HoPI, LBAP and GBAP. The River Thames is also designated as an SMI, a non-statutory site due to the varied habitats it supports such as intertidal and running water. The variety of habitats present also supports numerous notable aquatic species such as European eel and notable bird species such as herring gull.

Scattered Trees 3.22. Numerous scattered trees were noted within the Site, along the Thames Path (Plate 1), located to the north of the Site, along the eastern boundary and the south-western corner. The following species were recorded: Italian alder Alnus cordata, corkscrew willow Salix matsudana, cherry species Prunus spp, silver birch Betula pendula and ash Fraxinus excelsior. 3.23. All the trees were (except for the corkscrew willow) semi—mature and small in stature. The corkscrew willow was a larger and a more mature tree; however, it is still considered to be of limited biodiversity value.

Protected, BAP and Other Notable Fauna 3.24. Resulting from the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey and a review of the ecological desk study an assessment is made below on the potential of the Site to support:  Bats;  Birds;  Fish; and  Intertidal macro invertebrates. 3.25. The fauna descriptions provided below should be read in conjunction with Figure 1, the Target Notes presented in Appendix B.

Bats 3.26. Preliminary bat roost inspections were undertaken on the buildings / structures and trees present on Site. No potential roosting features were identified on any of the buildings / structures and trees were rated to have negligible potential for roosting bats. In addition, the habitats present on Site would offer extremely limited foraging opportunities. 3.27. Whilst the River Thames offers commuting habitat, linking to the wider area, it is currently lit along the Thames Path route thus reducing the Site’s value to bats.

Birds 3.28. The trees, buildings and the wooden jetty recorded to be present on Site have been assessed likely to support common species of nesting birds such as feral pigeon. The data search (Table 6) returned several notable bird species relevant to the habitats (River wall and foreshore recorded on Site) such as herring gull (S41), kingfisher (Schedule 1 WCA) and black redstart (Schedule 1 WCA, LBAP and GBAP) within 300m of the Site.

12 Herringham Road Project Number: WIE12416-100 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-3-1-7-PEA- \\s-lncs\WIEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\3. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal\WIE12416-100_3_1_7_PEA.docx

3.29. The habitats present on Site, namely the industrial buildings, the River wall and the foreshore have the potential to support nesting/breeding and foraging black redstarts.

Fish 3.30. As detailed in the habitats section, the Site includes a section of the River Thames. The data received from the EA indicated several notable fish species such as European eel (S41) (detailed in Table 7) utilises the area of the River Thames located within the Site. 3.31. Habitats on Site may offer a resource for fish species such as the intertidal mudflats and river wall as high tide. 3.32. The River Thames also provides important migration route and for spawning for notable fish species such as brown trout.

Intertidal macro invertebrates 3.33. As detailed in the habitats section, the Site includes a section of the River Thames. The data received from the EA indicated several notable intertidal macro invertebrates (detailed in * WCA - The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) **S41 – The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 ***London Biodiversity Action Plan ****Greenwich Biodiversity Action Plan. 3.34. Table 7) such as tentacaled lagoon worm (Schedule 5 WCA) utilise the area of the River Thames located within the Site predominantly using the intertidal mud habitats.

Invasive Species 3.35. No invasive species listed under Schedule 9 of the WCA was identified during the survey; however, buddleia which is listed on the London Invasive Species Initiative (LISI) was recorded.

4. Assessment

4.1. The potential IEFs that are anticipated to be affected by the Development (based on the results of the PEA and the Development plans received to date) are listed in (Table 8) below. This table details the rationale for the inclusion of each potential IEF and details the potential effect pathways and any requirement for further ecological assessments.

4.2. All other ecological features identified through the PEA, have been scoped out of further assessment because:  The population or area likely to be affected by the Development is of insufficient size or diversity to be of ecological value;  No potential effect pathway between the Development and these features has been identified; and  Contravention of the legislation relating to the feature is unlikely to occur. 4.3. The rationale for scoping out features is provided in Table 9 below.

14 Herringham Road Project Number: WIE12416-100 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-3-1-7-PEA- \\s-lncs\WIEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\3. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal\WIE12416-100_3_1_7_PEA.docx

Table 9: Ecological Features Scoped out of the Assessment Ecological Feature Rationale Designated sites - other Excluding the River Thames SMI (detailed in Table 8) It is considered no pathway of direct effect given distance from Site would impact other designated sites. Indirect effects are also unlikely to occur based on scale of proposed works and intervening habitat (e.g. a road, housing etc). Features part of the designation unlikely to occur on Site, therefore integrity of sites would be unaffected. Amenity grassland Based on the species composition described above being common and widespread and the limited extent, it is considered this habitat has no ecological value. Buildings and Structures It is assessed that building B1 and B2 along with the jetty have no value as ecological habitat features given the construction type. Ephemeral short perennial Based on the species composition described being common and widespread and the limited extent, it is considered this habitat has no ecological value. Hardstanding The hardstanding is largely devoid of vegetation and therefore considered to have no ecological value. Scattered trees The species recorded on Site are common and widespread and therefore considered to have no ecological value. Bats No habitats on Site have been assessed to offer potential for roosting or foraging bats. Whilst the River Thames is likely to offer commuting habitat, it is likely that any resulting impacts would not be significant. Birds - other Whilst the habitats on Site have the characteristics to support notable bird species such as the river wall habitat and king fisher, there are habitats of better quality within the locale which would be favoured over the habitats present on Site. Fish Works to the river wall and the refurbishment of wooden jetty are expected to be non-intrusive and pollution run-off during the demolition and construction works will be mitigated in a CEMP. As such, it is likely that any resulting impacts would not be significant. Intertidal macro-invertebrates Works to the river wall and the refurbishment of wooden jetty are expected to be non-intrusive and pollution run-off during the demolition and construction works will be mitigated in a CEMP. As such, it is likely that any resulting impacts would not be significant.

5. Recommendations

5.1. The PEA has identified IEFs anticipated to be affected by the Development (based on plans received to date) that could result in significant ecological effects. The requirement for further ecological assessments has been highlighted within Table 7 and a detailed scope is provided below. 5.2. To minimise or avoid any significant ecological effects and inform the emerging scheme design, ecological mitigation and compensation measures have been provided. In addition, ecological enhancement measures are also recommended. 5.3. Although ecological features including bats, common species of birds and invasive weeds have been scoped out of the assessment (Table 9) mitigation measures to ensure the Development meets legal compliance are still required along with good practice measures. These measures are also set out below. 5.4. Upon scheme fix and based on the results of the further assessments recommended below, the mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures will need to be confirmed/finalised in the EcIA and other reports as required.

Designated Sites 5.5. It has been assessed that the River Thames SMI has the potential to be an IEF and may be indirectly impacted by the Development. If Development works cannot be avoided at this habitat it is recommended that during construction, mitigation measures are taken to minimise any direct / indirect impacts such as pollution run off and light spill in line with Local Planning Policy DH(k). 5.6. Good practice measures could be documented within a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) as agreed with the LPA/EA. The operational phase of the Development is unlikely to significantly alter the use of the river from its current use and as such no further actions are recommended at this stage of the assessment.

Habitats 5.7. The habitats on Site and those within the ZoI could be indirectly affected by the Development include the habitats associated with the River Thames, i.e. running water and intertidal mudflats. No other habitats are assessed to be potential IEFs. 5.8. However, it is recommended that mitigation in the form of protection measures are adhered to during the construction phase of the Development that would include any other retained habitats such as the scattered trees. These measures would ensure legal compliance and that good practice is adopted. The measures could be documented within a CEMP and include;  The protection of retained trees. Any trees to be retained should be appropriately protected in accordance with BS 5837:2012 - “Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations” in line with Local Planning Policy OS(f); and  The control of pollution run off and light spill in to the River Thames (further discussed in the Designated Sites section).

16 Herringham Road Project Number: WIE12416-100 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-3-1-7-PEA- \\s-lncs\WIEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\3. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal\WIE12416-100_3_1_7_PEA.docx

5.9. To conserve and increase the ecological value of habitats at the Site the following enhancements measures in line with planning policy requirements should be considered as part of the Development:  The Development proposals should enhance biodiversity on Site to comply with Local Planning Policies. This could be achieved by:

- The use of native species or species of benefit to wildlife within any proposed landscape scheme to provide foraging opportunities for birds, bats, invertebrates and other fauna is recommended to enhance the Site for wildlife;

- The enhancement of the foreshore this could involve creating fish refuge brushes, timber cladding and additional habitat for notable birds, e.g. black redstart based on designs detailed in EA guidance16;

- Additional habitat could be created above ground level utilising roof top space such as the provision of living roofs thus complying with Planning Policy E(f). For example, brown roofs could be provided with a gravel substrate and allowed to self-seed with ruderal/ephemeral species. Biodiverse green roofs could also be provided by creating grassland on roofs by sowing a diverse hardy plant species. This would potentially provide a food source for invertebrates on which, in turn other invertebrates and birds and bats may feed. They can also provide breeding and nesting habitat for invertebrates and birds (including the house sparrow, a SoPI) and green/brown roofs are ideal for including bird boxes on (see bird section below). Brown roofs would also provide a suitable foraging for black redstarts (S41) which would replace the potential foraging habitat lost as part of the Development, and nest box provision for this species could also be provided on overlooking vertical structures; and

- Artificial habitats for bats and birds are also recommended (see fauna section below) to enhance the Site for these species group.  A landscape habitat and management plan should be produced to ensure the continuing success of the new habitats to be created on Site; and  Where new landscaping is to be undertaken as part of the Development proposals, horticultural practice should include the use of peat-free composts, mulches and soil conditioners. The use of pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and slug pellets) will be discouraged to prevent fatal effects on the food chain particularly invertebrates, birds and/or mammals. Any pesticides used should be non-residual.

Protected and Notable Fauna 5.10. Protected and notable fauna on Site and within the ZoI that could be significantly affected by the Development are limited to black redstarts, No other protected and notable fauna are assessed to be potential IEF’s. 5.11. It is recommended that mitigation in the form of protection measures are adhered to during the construction phase of the Development. These measures would ensure legal compliance and that good practice is adopted. The measures could be documented within a CEMP and include;  Timing constraints associated with Site clearance works including the removal of habitats with the potential to support common species of nesting birds as detailed below.

16 Environment Agency (2008) Estuary Edges: Ecological Design Guidance

17 Herringham Road Project Number: WIE12416-100 Document Reference: WIE12416-100-R-3-1-7-PEA- \\s-lncs\WIEL\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\3. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal\WIE12416-100_3_1_7_PEA.docx

Birds 5.12. The habitats at the Site including buildings / structures trees are considered unlikely to support any large populations of bird, although there are opportunities on Site to support common and notable species of breeding birds. As such the following mitigation measure is recommended:  Should any habitats of value to nesting birds require removal to facilitate the Development this will be undertaken outside of the breeding bird season (March to August inclusive). However, if works cannot be undertaken outside the breeding bird season an ecologist will inspect any vegetation / building to be removed. An experienced ecologist will be deployed to carry out an inspection at least within 24 hours prior to the clearance. If an occupied nest is detected, a buffer zone (typically 5m) will be created around the nest, and clearance of this area delayed until the young have fledged. 5.13. Due to the Site’s suitability for black redstarts, its it considered further surveys are undertaken to establish the presence / likely absence of black redstarts on Site. This would follow best practice methodology17, which would in summary comprise five surveys starting at dawn between the April and June. 5.14. Opportunities to compensate for the loss of habitats of value to birds and enhance the Site for birds should be incorporated into the design of the Development to increase the value of the Site for bird species. Pending the results of the further bird surveys it is recommended that artificial nest sites are targeted at SoPI species, LBAP and GBAP species (SAPs). The following bird boxes are recommended:  ‘Schwegler Starling Next Box 3S’ – This nest box has been designed with a large, deep cavity and 45mm entrance hole to attract starlings. Can be installed on mature trees or buildings. As well as starlings, this nest box is suitable for woodpecker species. The bird boxes should be placed at least 3m above ground level to prevent vandalism and face east or west;  ‘Schwegler Sparrow Terrace 1SP’ – Suitable for house sparrows and tree sparrows. The nest box contains three separate nesting cavities. They can be installed on buildings either affixed to the exterior wall or incorporated into the wall. The bird boxes should be placed at least 3m above ground level to prevent vandalism and face east or west; and  ‘Schwegler Nest Box 1B’ – Available with a range of entrance hole sizes. Suitable for many bird species including tits, sparrows and redstarts. Can be installed on mature trees or buildings. The bird boxes should be placed at least 3m above ground level to prevent vandalism and face east or west. 5.15. The use of native plant species as recommended above would provide additional foraging habitat for local bird species.

Invasive Species 5.16. Buddleia was recorded to be present on Site, whilst it is not listed as an invasive species on Schedule 9 of the WCA it is listed on the LISI. As such, it is recommended that all buddleia should be removed from Site.

6. Conclusions

6.1. From the results of the PEA and based on the Development plans received to date ecological features within the ZoI detailed in Table 9 have been scoped out of the assessment due to no identified pathway or if the feature is of insufficient biodiversity conservation value. However, IEFs within the ZoI that are anticipated to be affected by the Development include the River Thames SMI, associated habitats and black redstarts. 6.2. It is determined that further ecological assessments as detailed in Table 10 below would be required to inform the emerging scheme design and when finalised support the production of an EcIA. The Development has been determined to be an EIA development as such, the results and recommendations would be presented as a chapter within the EIA process.

Table 10: Summary of Recommended/Required Additional Ecological Assessments Habitats/Species Survey Timing Black redstart Presence absence survey 5 survey visits between based on best practice18 April and June

6.3. To ensure legal compliance and ensure good practice measures are adopted during the construction phase of the Development recommendations for a CEMP or similar to be produced. 6.4. To inform the emerging scheme design, ecological mitigation and compensation measures have been provided. In addition, ecological enhancement measures are also recommended. 6.5. Upon scheme fix and based on the results of the further assessments recommended below the mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures will need to be confirmed/finalised in the EcIA and other reports as required. 6.6. It should be noted that this PEA is relevant to the legislation detailed in Section 2 and Appendix A at the time of writing. If there are any changes to legislation prior to the Development being completed, the advice within this PEA may require amending / updating in line with any legislative updates. 6.7. If there is a significant period of time (most LPAs consider this period to be to 18 months) between this PEA and the Development commencing, the ecological value of the Site may change and the Site should therefore be subject to an update survey.

Specific habitats and species receive legal protection in England under various pieces of legislation, including:  The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended)19;  The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended)20;  The Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 200021;  The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 200622;  The Hedgerow Regulations 199723; and  Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 199624

National Planning Policy

National Planning Policy Framework, 2012 A2. The National Planning Policy Framework25 (NPPF) was published in March 2012. Section 11 (outlined below) of the NPPF, ‘Conserving and Enhancing the Natural Environment’, effectively replaces former Planning Policy Statement 9: Biodiversity and Geological Conservation. However, Government Circular 06/200526 - Biodiversity and Geological Conservation: Statutory Obligations and Their Impact within the Planning System, remains valid and is referenced within the NPPF. A3. The NPPF encourages the planning system to contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment. This should be achieved by:  “Protecting and enhancing valued landscapes, geological conservation interests and soils;  Recognising the wider benefits of ecosystem services;  Minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, contributing to the government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity, including by establishing ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures;  Preventing both new and existing development from contributing to or being put at an unacceptable risk from, or being adversely affected by unacceptable levels of soil, air, water or noise pollution or land instability; and

 Remediating and mitigating despoiled, degraded, derelict, contaminated and unstable land, where appropriate”. A4. The NPPF also stipulates that Local Planning Authorities (LPAs), when determining planning applications, should seek to conserve and enhance biodiversity, by applying the following principles:  “Development proposals where the primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity should be permitted; and  Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should be encouraged”. A5. If significant harm resulting from a development cannot be avoided (through locating on an alternative site with less harmful effects) adequately mitigated, or, as a last resort, compensated for, then planning permission should be refused.

National Planning Practice Guidance, 2014 A6. The Government’s National Planning Practice Guidance27 (NPPG) is intended to provide guidance to local planning authorities and developers on the implementation of the planning policies set out within the NPPF. The guidance of most relevance to ecology and biodiversity is the Natural Environment Chapter, which explains key issues in implementing policy to protect biodiversity, including local requirements.

Regional Planning Policy

The London Plan: The Spatial Development Strategy for London (consolidated with alterations since 2011), 2016 A7. The London Plan: The Spatial Development Strategy for London28 (London Plan) sets out the overall strategic plan, setting out a framework for development over the next 20 to 25 years and includes a number of policies relating to ecology. Key to the London Plan is Policy 7.19 ‘Biodiversity and Access to Nature’ which sets out the Mayor’s policy in relation to biodiversity and access to nature. In outline, it includes the following:

“A) The Mayor will work with all relevant partners to ensure a proactive approach to the protection, enhancement, creation, promotion and management of biodiversity in support of the Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy. This means planning for nature from the beginning of the development process and taking opportunities for positive gains for nature through the layout, design and materials of development proposals and appropriate biodiversity action plans;

B) Any proposals promoted or brought forward by the London Plan will not adversely affect the integrity of any European site of nature conservation importance (to include special areas of conservation (SACs), special protection areas (SPAs), Ramsar, proposed and candidate sites) either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. Whilst all development proposals must address this policy, it is of particular importance when considering the following policies within the London Plan: 1.1, 2.1-2.17, 3.1, 3.3, 3.7, 5.4A, 5.14, 5.15, 5.17, 5.20, 6.3, 6.9, 7.14, 7.15, 7.25 –

7.27 and 8.1. Whilst all opportunity and intensification areas must address the policy in general, specific locations requiring consideration are referenced in Annex 1.

C) Development proposals should:

• Wherever possible, make a positive contribution to the protection, enhancement, creation and management of biodiversity;

• Prioritise assisting in achieving targets in biodiversity action plans (BAPs) set out in Table 7.3 (refer to original document) and/or improving access to nature in areas deficient in accessible wildlife sites

• not adversely affect the integrity of European sites and be resisted where they have significant adverse impact on European or nationally designated sites or on the population or conservation status of a protected species or a priority species or habitat identified in a UK, London or appropriate regional BAP or borough BAP”.

D) On Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation development proposals should:

 a) give the highest protection to sites with existing or proposed international designations (SACs, SPAs, Ramsar sites) and national designations (SSSIs, NNRs) in line with the relevant EU and UK guidance and regulations

 b) give strong protection to sites of metropolitan importance for nature conservation (SMIs). These are sites jointly identified by the Mayor and boroughs as having strategic nature conservation importance

 c) give sites of borough and local importance for nature conservation the level of protection commensurate with their importance.

The Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy: Connecting with London’s Nature, 2002 A8. The Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy29 complements the adopted London Plan. It sets out how London’s biodiversity can be protected. Relevant policies within the Biodiversity Strategy include:  Policy 1: “The Mayor will work with partners to protect, manage and enhance London’s biodiversity”;  Policy 3: “The Mayor will encourage and promote the management, enhancement and creation of green space for biodiversity, and promote public access and appreciation of nature”;  Policy 5: “The Mayor will seek to ensure that opportunities are taken to green the built environment within development proposals and to use open spaces in ecologically sensitive ways. This is particularly important in areas deficient in open spaces and in areas of regeneration”; and  Policy 13: “The Mayor is committed to increasing the funding for biodiversity projects in London, and wishes to ensure that major new development projects include provision for biodiversity”.

Mayor of London’s Supplementary Planning Guides: Sustainable Design and Construction, 2014 A9. The Mayor republished the Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) for Sustainable Design and Construction in April 201430. The SPG refers to nature conservation and biodiversity and suggests that to conserve and enhance the natural environment and biodiversity, there should be no net loss in the quality and quantity of biodiversity across a site. The SPG also states that developments should be designed so the biodiversity is enhanced and connectivity between patches of urban habitat is increased. The design of the development should reduce indirect adverse impacts of the development on species, habitats and landscapes.

Mayor of London’s Supplementary Planning Guides: Green Infrastructure and Open Environments - The All London Green Grid, 2012 A10. The Mayor of London published Green Infrastructure and Open Environments: The All London Green Grid SPG31 in March 2012. This SPG relates to policy 2.18, 7.14 and 7.15 of the London Plan and it sets out strategic objectives and priorities for green infrastructure across London.

Local Planning Policy

Royal Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy Adopted 2014 A11. The Royal Greenwich Local Plan32 (RGLP) covers the administrative area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and sets out a vision of this area for the period of 2014 – 2028. The following policies from the RGLP are considered applicable in this assessment:

Policy DH1 Design

All developments are required to be of a high quality of design and to demonstrate that they positively contribute to the improvement of both the built and natural environments. To achieve a high quality of design, all developments are expected to: inter alia viii. enhance biodiversity consistent with the Greenwich Biodiversity Action Plan;

Policy OS4 Biodiversity

Royal Greenwich's rich biodiversity and geodiversity will be protected, restored and enhanced, including the priority habitats and species identified in the Greenwich Biodiversity Action Plan. There will be a presumption against the development of: • Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (as shown on the Proposals Map) • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) (as defined on the Proposals Map and set out in tables 12-15); • Local Nature Reserves (LNR) (as shown on the Proposals Map and set out in tables 12- 15);

• Royal Greenwich's Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Site(RIGS): Dog Rocks in Plumstead Common; and • Royal Greenwich's Locally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (LIGS): Bleak Hill Sandpits and Wickham Valley Brickworks complex. Biodiversity enhancements will be encouraged particularly in areas that are currently deficient in accessible wildlife sites.

Policy OS(f) Ecological Factors

(inter alia) Development proposals will be expected to take account of ecological factors, in particular paying attention to the need for: i. Consideration of the biodiversity and geological features of the site and the surrounding area, including protected species (Refer to Policy OS4). These features should be respected and the area’s natural character enhanced; iii. An appropriate level of survey to enable decisions to be made about the existing trees on the site. Development decisions will be based on the requirement: • That landscaping schemes should include environmentally appropriate planting using locally native species and demonstrate appropriate irrigation plans for landscaping. iv. The retention of trees and the protection and enhancement of natural and ecological features, tree ridge lines, green corridors, wildlife habitats, boundary walls, surface materials, hedges and other features where these will contribute to the biodiversity.

Policy DH(k) Thames Policy Area

The Royal Borough will seek a high quality of design respecting the special character of the River Thames within the Thames Policy Area defined on the Proposals Map. Proposals within the Area will be expected to: (inter alia) iv. Protect and enhance the river and its foreshore for wildlife and nature conservation, avoid encroachment other than for river dependent uses and contribute positively to the improvement of the local environment;

Policy E(f) Living Roofs and Walls

New build development proposals should be designed to incorporate living roofs or walls. Livings roofs are required to have a soil substrate depth of between 80mm and 150mm. The depth of the substrate is required to vary within this range to maximise the biodiversity benefits. The design, installation and maintenance of living roofs should be consistent with the most recent version of the GRO Green Roof Code.

Biodiversity Action Plans

UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework A12. The Environment Departments of all four governments in the UK work together through the Four Countries Biodiversity Group. Together they have agreed, and Ministers have signed, a framework of priorities for UK-level work for the Convention on Biological Diversity. Published on 17 July 2012, the 'UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework'33 covers the period from 2011 to 2020. This now supersedes the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP)34. However, many of the tools developed under UK BAP remain of use, for example, background information about the lists of priority habitats and species. The lists of priority species and habitats agreed under UK BAP still form the basis of much biodiversity work in the countries. A13. Although the UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework does not confer any statutory legal protection, in practice many of the species listed already receive statutory legal protection under UK and / or European legislation. In addition, most Priority national (English) BAP habitats and species are now those listed as Habitats of Principal Importance (HoPI) and Species of Principal Importance (SoPI) in England listed under Section 41 (S41) of the NERC Act 2006. For this report, habitats and species listed under S41 of the NERC Act are referred to as having superseded the UK BAP. All public bodies have a legal obligation or ‘biodiversity duty’ under Section 40 of the NERC Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity by having regard to those species and habitats listed under S41. A14. Based on the results of the PEA the following HoPIs and SoPIs listed under S41 are of potential value on and/or immediately adjacent to the Site:  Rivers (HoPI);  Intertidal mudflats (HoPI);  House sparrow (SoPI);  Black redstart (SoPI); and  Starling (SoPI).

London Biodiversity Action Plan A15. The London Biodiversity Partnership last updated the London BAP35 (LBAP) in 2007. Following a national decline in support for BAPs, the London Biodiversity Partnership disbanded due to lack of funding in 2013. However, there is still regional and organizational delivery of the action plans with a view to achieving the aims of the London BAP. The LBAP comprises 214 priority species that are under threat in London, with eight of these species (or species groups) being subject to their own Species Action Plan (SAP). The LBAP also identifies priority habitats that are of importance for biodiversity in London, with eleven of these having their own Habitat Action Plan (HAP).

Local Biodiversity Action Plan A16. At a local level, the Site is covered by the Greenwich Biodiversity Action Plan (GBAP). This document identifies habitats and species of importance locally and contains local targets relevant for planning and mitigation within the Royal Greenwich.

A17. Based on the results of the PEA several LBAP and GBAP priority species (SAPs) and habitats (HAPs) are of potential value on and/or immediately adjacent to the Site, including:  Black redstart (GBAP SAP); House sparrow (LBAP SAP); and  Rivers and streams / water’s edge (including the Tidal Thames specifically) (LHABP and GHAP).

Guidance

Biodiversity 2020: A strategy for England’s wildlife and ecosystem services A18. In October 2010, over 190 countries signed an historic global agreement in Nagoya, Japan to take urgent and effective action to halt the alarming global declines in biodiversity. This agreement recognised just how important it is to look after the natural world. It established a new global vision for biodiversity, including a set of strategic goals and targets to drive action. England’s response to this agreement was the publication of ‘Biodiversity 2020: A strategy for England’s wildlife and ecosystem services’36. The mission for this strategy is:

“to halt overall biodiversity loss, support healthy well-functioning ecosystems and establish coherent ecological networks, with more and better places for nature for the benefit of wildlife and people.”

BS 42020: 2013 Biodiversity: Code of Practice for Planning and Development A19. The UK commitment to halt overall loss of biodiversity by 2020 in line with the European Biodiversity Strategy and UN Aichi targets37, is passed down to local authorities to implement, mainly through planning policy. To assist organizations affected by these commitments, BSI has published BS 42020 which offers a coherent methodology for biodiversity management. A20. This British Standard sets out to assist those concerned with ecological issues as they arise through the planning process in matters relating to permitted development and activities involved in the management of land outside the scope of land use planning, which could have site-specific ecological implications. A21. The standard has been produced with input from several organisations including the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and the Association of Local Government Ecologists (ALGE) and provides:  Guidance on how to produce clear and concise ecological information to accompany planning applications;  recommendations on professional ethics, conduct, competence and judgement to give confidence that proposals for biodiversity conservation, and consequent decisions/actions taken, are sound and appropriate; and  direction on effective decision-making in biodiversity management a framework to demonstrate how biodiversity has been managed during the development process to minimize impact.

1. Introduction 1.1. This document forms a technical appendix and baseline information of the archaeology chapter of the Environmental Statement commissioned by Rolfe Judd pertaining to Herringham Road, Greenwich (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’). The purpose of this appendix is to gain an understanding of the known historic environment resource, in order to formulate an assessment of the potential for heritage assets to survive within the area of study and the significance of the known or potential assets. 1.2. In the event that the nature, extent or significance of the resource cannot be adequately defined by desk-based assessment alone, strategies for further evaluation (intrusive or not intrusive) will be recommended within the chapter of the Environmental Statement. Proposals for further archaeological investigation will respond to a programme of research, such as Regional Research Frameworks, or as negotiated with the Local Planning Authority’s Planning Archaeologist, taking into account development proposals (as known), and with reference to wider requirements associated with the development as known (e.g. ecological constraints). 1.3. This assessment follows best practice procedures produced by Historic England1 and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists2, and is intended to meet the information requirements of national heritage planning policy contained in Paragraph 128 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment3. 1.4. There were no known restrictions on reporting or access to relevant records during the research or compilation of this desk-based assessment.

1.5. The Site is located in the Borough of Greenwich and includes the Team Sport Indoor Go Karting track, the Holyghost Christian Centre, the Bunker 51 laser tag centre, the First Drive second hand car retail centre and a road salt storage facility. The north of the Site is bordered by the River Thames and a wide promenade which also follows the route of The Thames Path, a national footpath. The river wall is approximately 5.18 m at its highest point and formed of sheet pile supported by ties, anchors and a concrete wall4. The ground surface is a mix of tarmac and concrete. The topography of the Site is varied. The Thames Path promenade is raised c.1 m higher that the adjacent private land, and the whole site generally slopes down toward the south, with variable undulations within the Site. The Bunker 51 laser tag centre is located within the basement of the Holyghost Christian Centre. 1.6. Vehicular access is from three points along Herringham Road which borders the south of the Site. One entrance along the western boundary of the Site to give access to the car centre and Go

2. Scope, Aims and Methodology

Scope and Aims 2.1. This technical appendix constitutes a programme of study of the historic environment within a 500 m radius of National Grid Reference TQ 41381 79223, and addresses agreed research and conservation objectives as set out in the relevant Regional Research Frameworks6,7,8. 2.2. The 2011 Archaeological Priority Area (APA) Appraisal for the London Borough of Greenwich highlights the following areas of potential research with the Greenwich and Peninsula APA9:  Better modelling of the buried prehistoric landscape of the area;  Investigation of the Saxon Royal estate;  Archaeological investigation of pre-Tudor use of the riverside trades;  Research the monastic history of the area;  Archaeologically investigate the key industrial sites of the area; and  Investigate the foreshore for all periods. 2.3. This document aims to provide a desk-based assessment which has consulted relevant criteria and information set out in national and local planning policy and guidance. 2.4. Paragraph 128 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that where a site includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, an appropriate desk- based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation, is submitted with the planning application. 2.5. Paragraph 128 of the NPPF also requires that the significance of any heritage assets affected by a planning application, including any contribution made by their setting, is described in a manner proportionate to the importance of the asset. As a minimum, the NPPF requires that the relevant historic environment record is consulted, and the heritage assets are assessed using appropriate expertise. 2.6. Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Ltd are a Registered Organisation with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA). The CIfA has developed a range of Regulations, Standards and Guidelines, including the Standard and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-based Assessments which guide the production of this report.

Methods and Sources 2.7. This assessment has included the following:  Identification of known heritage assets likely to be affected by proposals;  Identification of potential heritage assets likely to be affected by proposals;  Desk-top and archival research;  A walk-over survey of site and immediate surroundings;

 Assessment of the Site’s heritage significance; and  Consultation of local and national planning policy and guidance pertaining to the historic environment. 2.8. The Greater London Historic Environment Records (GLHER) were consulted within radius of 500 metres from the centre of the Site (see Appendices A and B). 2.9. The Site was visited on 8th March 2017. The weather was dry and overcast. The aim of the visit was to identify and gain an understanding of any features of heritage interest within the Site that may be affected by the proposals, and gain an understanding of the ground conditions. Some of the resultant images from this inspection are reproduced in this report. 2.10. The Greenwich Heritage Centre was visited to obtain information from early maps, documents and secondary sources. Historic maps and images are reproduced where appropriate in this report. 2.11. Background research included a review of the above mentioned relevant Regional Research Frameworks, as well as a range of online sources referenced throughout the text and in the bibliography section.

Criteria for Assessment of Significance 2.12. This desk-based assessment comprises an analysis of existing written, graphic, photographic and electronic information to identify the likely heritage assets, their interests and significance and the character of the study area. Significance is assessed in a local (low significance), regional (medium significance), national (high significance) or international (very high significance) context, as appropriate.

3. Summary of Archaeological Results

Relevant Designated Heritage Assets 3.1. Relevant designated heritage assets are listed here, and given further consideration in the summary presented below. 3.2. The Site is located within the Greenwich and Peninsula and Foreshore Archaeological Priority Area (APA). This APA has not yet been assigned a tier grade as the review of APAs is still being carried out across the Greater London Boroughs. 3.3. There are no designated heritage assets within the Site or within the 500 m search area.

Summary of Archaeological Results 3.4. The information below has been provided through consultation of the Greater London Historic Environment record (GLHER) and consultation of archives and online databases. A map and gazetteer, presenting the HER records, are located in Appendices A and B. 3.5. Geo-archaeological monitoring at the Thames Barrier, 100 m east of the Site, revealed gravels overlain by peat, and organic and alluvial clay10. The GLHER event record states that the peats and organic clay deposits are likely to date between the Mesolithic and Bronze Age depending on the depths of the deposits, which are likely to have good potential for past environment reconstruction11. The depths of peat and organic deposits have been recorded at sites around Stone Wharf, 400 m west of the Site. These range between 4.3 m and 6.5 m below ground level. The natural gravels at Stone Wharf were recorded at -4.6 to -3.6 m OD (Ordnance Datum)12. 3.6. A borehole survey at Ferranti Close, 300 m south-east of the Site, recorded made ground to a depth of +0.03 m OD, soft clay to a depth of -1.57 m OD, peat with frequent fragments of wood to - 3.77 m OD, silty clay to -6.77 m OD, and sandy gravel to a depth of -9.97 m OD13. 3.7. The Thames foreshore area has revealed several post-Medieval ship timbers, re-used as part of revetments, such as those found 400 m west of the Site at Stone Wharf and Vaizey’s Wharf 400 m west of the Site. Ship timbers such as those listed above are found along the Thames foreshore, including the foreshore alongside the Site. The timbers shown in Figure 2 were observed during the Site visit.

3.10. In the early twentieth century the Site was acquired by Johnsen and Jorgensen Ltd, importers of glassware, for the construction of a new warehouse and factory site. The plans for the factory were prepared by Mr. C. Dunch with consultation from Messrs G. Munday and Sons who had ‘unrivalled experience in pilling and jetty work extending over 200 years’14. The design for the new factory suggests that extensive stability was required, most likely due to the marshy ground conditions:

“The foundations, comprising over 300 octagon shaped piles of reinforced concrete – all made on site – thirty to fifty feet in length and each weighing an average five tons, were driven into firm ballast thirty feet below. To complete the work, at a cost of about £138,000, over one and a quarter million bricks, 200 tons of steel, 800 tons of cement and 10,000 tons of concrete were used in building the warehouses, factory and the ‘L’ shaped jetty. The latter (known as Thames Wharf) extended 150 ft [45.72m] . from the bank with an 80 ft [24.38m]. arm returning at right angles; a railway crane

completed the unloading requirements. A lower jetty was later built for easier access when unloading smaller vessels.15” 3.11. The foundation stone of the factory was laid in August 1920, Figure 5 shows the factory completed and operational shortly after this date around 1925. Figure 5 also shows a three bay, single storey warehouse building in the north-west corner of the Site.

3.12. The factory avoided major damage during the Second World War blitz, despite the adjacent Siemens electronics factory being a documented target for Luftwaffe bombing raids. A large air raid shelter, for the factory workers and local residents, was constructed within the factory , although it is not known if this was above or below ground16. 3.13. Aerial photographs from 1949 show two Romney Hut type buildings within the factory yard. The photos also show a multi-storey tower also on the western side of the factory. 3.14. A1965 aerial photograph (Figure 6) shows the three-bay warehouse in the north-west corner of the Site (still present on the 1962 OS map) had been demolished, and a single storey warehouse immediately to the west of the 1920s factory building which had been built since the 1925 photograph.

3.15. The Romney Hut type buildings were demolished post-1965 and a new, four-bay, single-storey warehouse was built between 1965 and 1973 (Figure 7). This is the building which, along with the single storey warehouse, is currently in use as an indoor go-karting track.

3.16. The building currently in use as The Holyghost Christian Centre and Bunker 51 laser tag centre is first depicted on 1968 OS mapping. Some alterations appear to have been made to the pedestrian entrance in the south of the Site but the building’s footprint has otherwise remained unchanged since its construction. 3.17. The 1920s factory building had been demolished by the 1982 OS map and replaced by the existing open car park. There is a discernible difference between the ground level of the former 1920s factory and the current car park. The 1920s factory was at the same level as the road, but the current car park is significantly higher than the road level, as illustrated in Figure 8. The 1949 photo in Figure 8 shows the south-facing façade of the factory bordering the east end of Herringham Road at ground level, outlined in red. The modern photo in Figure 8 is taken from within the Site facing south, looking toward the east end of Herringham Road, showing the difference in ground level between the site of the former factory and Herringham Road, as highlighted in red.

3.18. The salt storage dome in the north part of the Site dates to the early twenty-first century as it is not surveyed on 1999 OS mapping.

Archaeological Significance 3.19. The area of the Site falls within the Greenwich and Peninsula APA designated by Historic England in recognition of the high potential for Prehistoric material eroded from in situ archaeological contexts and evidence of the colonisation of the foreshore by industry. Any Prehistoric material within the Site would contribute toward the knowledge of the wider Thames estuary and be of regional value, and therefore of medium significance. 3.20. The Site has the potential to contain palaeo-environmental deposits in undisturbed ground up to - 10 m OD, based on previous investigations within the search area. If found, these would contribute directly to the research agendas set out in the APA Appraisal and would be of regional value and of medium significance. However, significant disturbance from piling is likely to have occurred within the footprint of the 1920s factory and the modern basement, which could have affected the survival of any deposits within these areas.

N:\Projects\WIE12416\100\8_Reports\4. Heritage\WIE12416-100_R_1.1.1.docx

3.21. The River wall, which is located within the Site boundary, is constructed of modern sheet piling. Should any timbers from earlier historic river walls survive behind the piling, these would also contribute toward the knowledge of the industrialisation of the area defined by the Greenwich Peninsula APA and therefore be of regional value, and of medium significance. 3.22. Any timbers washed up along the foreshore would have been removed from their context and would therefore be of local value, and of low significance. 3.23. The existing buildings within the Site are mostly of late twentieth century derivation. These are not considered to be of heritage value and are therefore of neutral significance. However, the laser tag business ‘Bunker 51’ based in the basement below the Holyghost Christian Centre states that the basement is a former cold war nuclear bunker. No access was available to the bunker during the Site visit, and no other evidence has been found during this research of the basement being in use as a bunker. If the basement is a cold war nuclear bunker then it may be of significance. 3.24. The jetty in the north of the Site appears to have remained relatively unchanged since its initial construction, with the exception of the removal of the crane at the end of the jetty. As the jetty is evidence of the industrial use of the Greenwich Peninsula and foreshore, it would be, as an individual feature, of local value, and therefore of low significance. The jetty does contribute to a wider collection of features, such as other jetties, river walls and industrial buildings which represent the industrial use of the Greenwich Peninsula and foreshore. These collectively are of regional value and of medium significance.

4. Conclusions 4.1. This document forms a technical appendix and baseline information of the archaeology chapter of the Environmental Statement pertaining to Herringham Road, Greenwich. The purpose of this appendix is to gain an understanding of the known historic environment resource, in order to formulate an assessment of the potential for heritage assets to survive within the area of study and the significance of the known or potential assets. 4.2. It is likely that substantial truncation from piling is present in the footprint of the 1920s factory up to a depth of approximately 46m. Truncation is also likely within the area of current basements, including the Bunker 41 laser tag centre. 4.3. The Site has potential to contain evidence of industrial use of foreshore from the Prehistoric to the present day. This evidence would contribute directly to the research agendas set out in the APA Appraisal and would therefore be of regional value, and of medium significance. 4.4. The basement on Site, currently in use as the Bunker 51 laser tag centre, may be a cold war nuclear bunker which may be considered to be of significance. This could not be confirmed from desk-based research, or from the Site visit as access was not available. 4.5. None of the extant buildings on Site are considered to be of heritage significance, with exception of the basement which requires further assessment to determine its significance. The jetty is considered to be of medium significance as it contributes toward the research agendas set out in the APA Appraisal. 4.6. All statements and recommendations made in this assessment are subject to consultation and approval of the local planning authority.

D. Glossary (National Planning Policy Framework)17

Archaeological interest There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them. Conservation (for heritage The process of maintaining and managing change to a heritage asset policy) in a way that sustains and, where appropriate, enhances its significance. Designated heritage asset A World Heritage Site, Scheduled Monument, Listed Building, Protected Wreck Site, Registered Park and Garden, Registered Battlefield or Conservation Area designated under the relevant legislation. Heritage asset A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority (including local listing). Historic environment All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora. Historic environment record Information services that seek to provide access to comprehensive and dynamic resources relating to the historic environment of a defined geographic area for public benefit and use. Setting of a heritage asset The surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral. Significance (for heritage The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of policy) its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting.

Executive Summary

Objectives Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited (“Waterman”) was instructed by The Komoto Group Ltd to undertake a Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (PERA) for ground contamination for the proposed redevelopment of land at Herringham Road which is currently in mixed commercial and industrial use. The report considers the risks posed by ground contamination to future receptors.

Site Setting Current Use A number of interconnected warehouses and commercial buildings, split across a number of levels, with associated external areas. Current Site uses include go-karting and paintballing activities, offices, a church and a depot. History Industrial use since the 1890s. Mapping has identified a timber yard (1890s), Telegraph Wharf with associated railway sidings (1890s until 1910s), a chemical works (1910s until 1950s), a glass works (1950s until 1980s) and an electrical substation (from the 1950s to present day) on Site historically. Geology British Geological Survey borehole records on Site identified Made Ground deposits up to about 2m below ground level. Alluvium was recorded beneath the Made Ground up to 8m in thickness, beneath which Kempton Park Gravel Formation is recorded up to 5m thickness. The thickness of the underlying Upper Chalk Formation is anticipated to be greater than 50m. Controlled A Principal Aquifer (Chalk) is located at depth beneath the Site, beneath the Alluvium (Secondary Waters Undifferentiated Aquifer) and Kempton Park Gravel Formation (Secondary A Aquifer). A river wall and jetty to the River Thames are within the Site boundary to the north. Consultation A Groundsure dataset was obtained for the Site. Information was requested from the Environmental Health and Building Control departments at the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The Royal Borough of Greenwich online planning register also been accessed.

Preliminary Conceptual Model The potential pollutant linkages for the Site are as follows:  Future Site users may be exposed to contaminants in the Made Ground as a result of previous development at the Site and as a result of current Site activities, which may have resulted in localised contamination;  Future Site users may be exposed to ground gas/vapours originating from the Made Ground and shallow soils on Site, as well as off-site sources via lateral migration;  Off-site users may be exposed to contaminated dust and fibres created by the demolition and redevelopment of the Site;  Construction workers may be exposed to contaminants, fibres and ground gases and vapours from Made Ground and shallow soils;  Collection of ground gas and vapours in voids may create a risk of explosion;  Contaminants originating on-Site may be negatively impacting the Secondary (Undifferentiated) Aquifer lying within the Alluvium and the Secondary A Aquifer within the Kempton Park Gravel Formation; and  Groundwater within the bedrock beneath the Site may be exposed to contamination via downward vertical migration during ground works. Conclusions Given the proposed end use, the Site is considered to represent a medium risk. However, upon implementation of the recommendations below within the development, the residual risk is considered to be low. Therefore, it is expected the National Planning Policy Framework requirement that on completion of a development, the Site can no longer be captured under the Part IIA regime, would be met.

Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment Executive Summary WIE12416-100-R-1-1-4-JT

Recommendations  An intrusive geo-environmental and geotechnical ground investigation should be undertaken prior to construction works commencing. This should include:

- Characterise the extent and thickness of any Made Ground and natural material underlying the Site; - Characterise the contamination status of material underlying the Site including sampling of and analysis of any Made Ground, natural soils and groundwater underlying the Site for organic and inorganic contaminants;

- Determining the potential risk posed by ground gas and vapours on the Site; and - Assessing the potential for on-Site contamination to impact on controlled waters including groundwater and the River Thames.

- A Preliminary Waste Classification Assessment to give an indication of the likely waste classification of material being removed from the Site; and

- Geotechnical testing to aid foundation and pavement design.  The results of the intrusive Site Investigation should be used to prepare a Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment (GQRA);  The potential impact of on-Site contaminants to impact the underlying aquifers should be assessed as part of a Foundation Works Risk Assessment;  Existing outfalls to the River Thames should be investigated and, where appropriate, decommissioned. Refurbishment of the river wall should be undertaken in such a manner as not to create a potential pathway for contaminants to migrate to the Thames;  An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) should be prepared, detailing measures for managing waste during demolition and construction works and techniques for supressing the generation of dust;  Prior to demolition commencing, an asbestos refurbishment/demolition survey should be undertaken and all asbestos removed in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012;  Construction workers should be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE), respiratory protective equipment (RPE), if required, and informed of good hygiene measures;  Soils being removed from the Site use should be characterised in line with the Environment Agency’s technical guidance to determine the most appropriate method of disposal; and  Any new water pipes and buried services should be appropriately protected against contamination in Made Ground, soils and groundwater; and  All material imported to the Site should be demonstrated suitable for use.

Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment Executive Summary WIE12416-100-R-1-1-4-JT

1. Introduction

1.1 Objectives Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited (“Waterman”) was instructed by The Komoto Group Ltd to undertake a Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (PERA) for ground contamination for the proposed redevelopment of land at Herringham Road, Greenwich, SE7 8NJ (hereafter termed “the Site”).

1.2 Proposed Development The Site is currently occupied by a split level building currently in mixed commercial and industrial use. A river wall and jetty to the River Thames are on Site to the north. It is proposed to redevelop the Site for a mixed use development comprising residential, commercial and public open space and no private gardens. The Development proposals include refurbishment of the river wall and a jetty over the intertidal habitat. However, no intrusive works to the river bed or intertidal area are proposed.

1.3 Regulatory Context The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out Government planning policy for England and how this is expected to be applied to development. Paragraphs 120 to 122 of Section 11 – Conserving and enhancing the natural environment of the NPPF relate to contaminated land matters and state the following:

“To prevent unacceptable risks from pollution and land instability, planning policies and decisions should ensure that new development is appropriate for its location. The effects (including cumulative effects) of pollution on health, the natural environment or general amenity, and the potential sensitivity of the area or proposed development to adverse effects from pollution, should be taken into account. Where a site is affected by contamination or land stability issues, responsibility for securing a safe development rests with the developer and/or landowner. Planning policies and decisions should ensure that:  the site is suitable for its new use taking account of ground conditions and land instability, including from natural hazards or former activities such as mining, pollution arising from previous uses and any proposals for mitigation including land remediation or impacts on the natural environment arising from that remediation;  after remediation, as a minimum, land should not be capable of being determined as contaminated land under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990; and  Adequate site investigation information, prepared by a competent person, is presented. In doing so, local planning authorities should focus on whether the development itself is an acceptable use of the land and the impact of the use, rather than the control of processes or emissions themselves where these are subject to approval under pollution control regimes. Local planning authorities should assume that these regimes will operate effectively. Equally, where a planning decision has been made on a particular development, the planning issues should not be revisited through the permitting regimes operated by pollution control authorities.” In order to assess the contamination status of the Site, with respect to the proposed end use, it is necessary to assess whether the Site could potentially be classified as “Contaminated Land”, as defined in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance 2012.

Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment Page 1

\\S-lncs\wiel\Projects\WIE12416\100\8 Reports\1.LQD\PERA\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-4-JT.docx

This is assessed by the identification and assessment of potential pollutant linkages. The linkage between the potential sources and potential receptors identified needs to be established and evaluated. To fall within this definition, it is necessary that, as a result of the condition of the land, substances may be present in, on or under the land such that: a) significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused; or b) significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused, or there is significant possibility of such pollution being caused. It should be noted that DEFRA has advised (Ref. Section 4, DEFRA Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance 2012) Local Authorities that land should not be designated as “Contaminated Land” where: a) the relevant substance(s) are already present in controlled waters; b) entry into controlled waters of the substance(s) from land has ceased; and c) it is not likely that that further entry will take place. These exclusions do not necessarily preclude regulatory action under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010, which make it a criminal offence to cause or knowingly permit a water discharge of any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter to controlled waters. In England and Wales, under The Water Resources Act 1991 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2009, a works notice may be served by the regulator requiring appropriate investigation and clean-up.

1.4 Constraints The assessment was undertaken in accordance with the scope agreed between Waterman and Rolfe Judd, as documented in Waterman’s fee letter (WIE12416-100.F.003.PC, dated 26 January 2016), and with Waterman’s standard Terms of Appointment. The benefit of this report is made to The Komoto Group Ltd. The information contained in this report is based on a review of available historical, geological and hydrogeological sources, consultation with the regulatory authorities and observations made on-Site on 22 February 2017. Waterman has endeavoured to assess all information provided to them during this investigation, but makes no guarantees or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The scope of this investigation does not include an assessment for the presence of asbestos containing materials within or below buildings or in the ground at the Site. The conclusions resulting from this study are not necessarily indicative of future conditions or operating practices at or adjacent to the Site.

3. Hazard Identification

3.1 Site Description and Reconnaissance The Site is located at National Grid Reference 541385,179222 on Herringham Road, in the predominantly industrial area of Charlton, London.

Figure 1: Current Site Layout

Source: Farrells

The Site comprises a number of interconnected warehouses and office buildings, split across a number of levels, each with associated external areas. The Site supports multiple uses, including go-karting and paintballing activities, offices, a church and a depot. A river wall to the Thames and a jetty are included within the Site to the north. The river wall consists of a sheet pile wall to the west and a concrete wall to the east. A River Wall Inspection Report prepared by Waterman (ref. WIE12416-101-R-2-1-3-IR, March 2017) identified two outfalls along the length of the river wall. It is not known whether these are connected to Site drainage. A Thames Water sewer also passes through the northwestern corner of the Site. Single-storey warehousing in the northern portion of the Site is currently occupied by a go-karting company. Go-karting takes place internally upon a tarmacadam track. A workshop area is present

adjacent to the track, where the maintenance of go-karts is carried out over concrete hardstanding. Waste is stored internally in a number of drums and containers upon tarmacadam, as well as externally in skips upon concrete hardstanding. Associated office space, conference rooms, changing rooms and canteens / cafes are located in a number of separate rooms peripheral to the track. A recreation company, ‘Bunker 51’, occupy single storey warehousing in the western to central portion of the Site, in addition to the ground floor of a multi-storey building in the south of the Site (floors above are in office use). Paintballing and laser tag activities are carried out largely over concrete hardstanding, although one area of gravelled open ground was observed in the paintballing area. Significant oil staining (from paintball capsules) was noted over the hardstanding and gravel in the paintballing area, although the oils in use were reported to be non-toxic and biodegradable. A single storey building and porta-cabin, both in office use, are located in the south-western portion of the Site. A Church is located at the ground floor of the multi-storey building in the south of the Site. An engineering workshop (associated with the depot on-Site) and brick-housed electricity sub-station are located in the north of the Site. No basements were noted beneath the Site, however the ground floor of the four-storey commercial building in the south of the Site was noted to be slightly lower than surrounding street level in places. Heating to the buildings on Site is provided by several gas-fired boilers. Externally, the western area of the Site supports a concrete roadway. A general waste skip was located upon hardstanding in this area, and miscellaneous waste items were also stored on concrete and gravelled ground at the rear of the office block, adjacent to the roadway. A redundant diesel tank is located on a concrete slab to the rear to the go-karting warehouse, adjacent to the roadway. Three locked storage containers, two metal sheds and one brick outbuilding were also present, all of which were locked and not accessible at the time of the walkover. The northern external areas comprise concrete hardstanding used for car-parking and skip storage. Two aboveground Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) tanks are also located in this portion of the Site. In the south of the Site, external areas comprised concrete hardstanding (with no surface water drainage system) in use as car-parking and wheelie bin / skip storage. A small storage building (brick construction) was locked and not accessible during the walkover. The eastern external area supports a depot yard where activities including the refuelling, washing and overnight storage of trucks are carried out. Jet-washing is carried out adjacent to the engineering workshop over concrete hardstanding and the waste waters are reportedly discharged to public sewers, via an interceptor. Refuelling is carried out in the central area of the eastern yard. Significant level changes were noted across the Site. Evidence of two former exploratory locations was identified in the northern and southern external areas respectively. According to the Landmark EnviroCheck report, presented in Appendix C, there are no licences or consents registered to the property. A Site location plan and Site layout plan are presented as Appendix A. A selection of photographs taken during the Site inspection is presented as Appendix B.

3.3 Geology The geology beneath the Site has been established from the British Geological Survey (BGS) 1: 50,000 scale Geological Map, Sheet 271 (Dartford) Solid and Draft Edition, BGS Borehole records on Site (TQ47NW1540 and TQ47NW/310) and the BGS website (accessed online 22/02/2017) and is shown in Figure 3 below.

3.3.1 Ground Stability The BGS Geological Map, Sheet 271 does not reveal any structural, geomorphological or geochemical features on or near to the Site. The Groundsure dataset identifies a moderate hazard rating for potential compressibility problems. The Site is not located in an area that could be affected by coal mining activity.

3.3.2 Ground Gas Radon is a colourless and odourless radioactive gas, formed from the decay of naturally occurring uranium within soils and rocks. The radioactive elements formed by the decay of radon may be inhaled, entering the lungs, and potentially leading to localised damage, and lung cancer. Information recovered from the Groundsure Report, BGS, and Public Health England (PHE) show that less than 1% of properties in the area are above the Action Level and no protective measures are necessary. Current Building Regulations, endorsed by PHE detail that all new buildings or extensions require radon protective measures where the development is in an area of high radon. In 2009 the Health Protection Agency ((HPA), now Public Health England) recommended that radon protection measures be built into all new occupied buildings in the UK, whether or not they were situated in radon sensitive area as identified by British Geological Survey (BGS) maps. The Building Regulations Advisory Committee supported the HPA’s proposal. However the then Government rejected this recommendation and the current Building Regulations (2013) do not include it. This approach should be confirmed with the Building Control Officer. There are no registered landfills within 500m of the Site. The Groundsure dataset has recorded a number of areas of potentially infilled land on Site, associated with the former Wharf. However, these are not evident from a review of historical maps. Historical mapping has identified an area of infilled ground 80m south. Infilling was complete by 1974 and so the potential for the ongoing generation of ground gas from this source is considered limited, however, cannot be discounted.

3.4 Controlled Waters

3.4.1 Surface Waters The nearest surface water to the Site is the River Thames located adjacent to the north of the Site. According to the Ecological Potential under the Water Framework Directive, the Environment Agency (EA) has not classified the surface water body. There is 1No. Environmental Permit for sewage discharges to surface water within a 500m radius of the Site. This is recorded 54m north for sewage discharges to the River Thames and is likely to relate to the Thames Water sewer that passes through the Site’s northwestern corner. The Groundsure dataset identified 11No. Environment Agency recorded pollution incidents within 500m of the Site, the nearest being located 194m southwest on 28th May 2003, which was classified as having a Category 4 (no) impact on water.

\\S-lncs\wiel\Projects\WIE12416\100\8 Reports\1.LQD\PERA\WIE12416-100-R-1-1-4-JT.docx

3.4.2 Flood Risk According to the EA’s indicative flooding data, the Site is located in an area of tidal flooding. There are recorded flood defences in the area which may provide a degree of protection. The risk of flooding from rivers or seas is shown in Figure 4 below:

Figure 4: Flood risk from rivers or seas

Source: Groundsure Report Ref: WTM1-3648876

The EA’s indicative flooding data also indicates that the Site is not located in an area at risk of groundwater flooding. The Site is located in an area of limited potential for groundwater flooding to occur.

3.4.3 Groundwater According to the EA online dataset (accessed 22/02/2017), the geological deposits underlying the Site are classified as per Table 5.

Table 5: Summary of hydrogeological properties of the main geological strata Stratum EA Classification Hydrogeological Significance Made Ground N/A N/A Secondary Aquifer – May be important in supporting local abstractions or Alluvium Undifferentiated Layers in providing baseflow to rivers and streams Kempton Park Gravel May be important in supporting local abstractions or Secondary A Aquifer Formation in providing baseflow to rivers and streams Regionally important aquifer, likely to be used to Upper Chalk Formation Principal Aquifer support potable abstractions

The Site is not located within a groundwater Source Protection Zone. Based on available information, it is anticipated that groundwater flow will be variable, influenced by the River Thames which is in its tidal reach within the vicinity of the Site. There are no current recorded groundwater abstractions within a 1km radius of the Site.

Overall, therefore, data suggests that underlying groundwater quality is likely to be of moderate quality.

3.5 Ecological Systems The Groundsure Report identified the following ecological systems to be within 1km of the Site: Gilbert's Pit (Charlton), Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), 493m southeast. Maryon Wilson Park & Gilbert's Pit, Local Nature Reserve (LNR), 493m southeast.

3.6 Consultations The agencies and individuals which have been contacted and/or their records reviewed during the course of this study are listed in Table 6.

Table 6 List of parties consulted during this study Organisation Consultee Response Royal Borough of Greenwich Environmental Health Mary Slade Written response received. Planning Online Planning Portal Accessed Building Control Rhonda Chandler Written response received.

3.6.1 Environmental Health The Environmental Health Officer (EHO) reported the site is not registered as contaminated land at present. The Council are still in the process of prioritisation and so cannot comment on whether the site is likely to be registered or not in the future. However, the site would be low priority due to its present industrial use. The EHO provided previous intrusive investigation reports for several sites in the surrounding area, which indicated that elevated ground gas has been recorded in the surrounding area and as a result ground gas protective measures were recommended for the redevelopment of these sites.

3.6.2 Planning Department A review of the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s online planning portal did not identify any pertinent planning application for the Site.

3.6.3 Building Control Department The Building Control Officer (BCO) reported that they do not hold any information in relation to the Site. 4. Previous Environmental Assessments

No previous environmental assessments of the Site have been provided for review.

6. Conclusions Given the proposed end use the overall risk rating for the Site is assessed as medium. The recommendations of this report outline preliminary remedial and mitigation measures that require confirmation through additional works. However, once successfully implemented the risks are anticipated to be low. Therefore, the NPPF requirement that on completion the Site can no longer be captured under the Part IIA regime is expected to be met.

7. Recommendations

The following actions are recommended to address the potentially unacceptable risks identified:  An intrusive geo-environmental ground investigation should be undertaken prior to construction works commencing. This should include:

- Characterise the extent and thickness of any Made Ground and natural material underlying the Site;

- Characterise the contamination status of material under lying the Site including sampling of and analysis of any Made Ground, natural soils and groundwater underlying the Site for organic and inorganic contaminants;

- Determining the potential risk posed by ground gas and vapours on the Site; and - Assessing the potential for on-Site contamination to impact on controlled waters including groundwater and the River Thames.

- A Preliminary Waste Classification Assessment to give an indication of the likely waste classification of material to be removed from the Site; and  The results of the intrusive Site Investigation should be used to prepare a Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment (GQRA). The findings of the GQRA would be used to inform a Remediation Strategy for the Site;  The potential impact of on-Site contaminants to impact the underlying aquifers should be assessed as part of a Foundation Works Risk Assessment, if required;  Existing outfalls to the River Thames should be investigated and, where appropriate, decommissioned. Refurbishment of the river wall should be undertaken in such a manner as not to create a potential pathway for contaminants to migrate to the Thames;  An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) should be prepared, detailing measures for managing waste during demolition and construction works and techniques for supressing the generation of dust;  Prior to demolition commencing, an asbestos refurbishment/demolition survey should be undertaken and all asbestos removed in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012;  Construction workers should be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE), respiratory protective equipment (RPE), if required, and informed of good hygiene measures;  Soils being removed from the Site use should be characterised in line with the Environment Agency’s technical guidance to determine the most appropriate method of disposal; and  Any new water pipes and buried services should be appropriately protected against contamination in Made Ground, soils and groundwater; and  All material imported to the Site should be demonstrated suitable for use.

GLOSSARY

For the purpose of this report, the following terms and definitions apply (see BS 10175:2001).

Accuracy Level of agreement between true value and observed value. Conceptual Exposure Textual and or schematic hypothesis of the nature and sources of contamination, potential migration model pathways (including description of the ground and groundwater) and potential receptors, developed on the basis of the information from the preliminary investigation and refined during subsequent phases of investigation and which is an essential part of the risk assessment process. Note 1: The conceptual exposure model is initially derived from the information obtained by the preliminary investigation. This conceptual model is used to focus subsequent investigations, where these are considered to be necessary, in order to meet the objectives of the investigations and the risk assessment. The results of the field investigation can provide additional data that can be used to further refine the conceptual model. Contamination Presence of a substance which is in, on or under land, and which has the potential to cause significant harm or to cause significant pollution of controlled water. Note 1: There is no assumption in this definition that harm results from the presence of the contamination. Note 2: Naturally enhanced concentrations of harmful substances can fall within this definition of contamination. Note 3: Contamination may relate to soils, groundwater or ground gas. Controlled water Inland freshwater (any lake, pond or watercourse above the freshwater limit), water contained in underground strata and any coastal water between the limit of highest tide or the freshwater line to the three mile limit of territorial waters. Note 1: See Section 104 of The Water Resources Act 1991. Harm Adverse effect on the health of living organisms, or other interference with ecological systems of which they form part, and, in the case humans, including property. Hazard Inherently dangerous quality of a substance, procedure or event. Pathway Mechanism or route by which a contaminant comes into contact with, or otherwise affects, a receptor. Precision Level of agreement within a series of measurements of a parameter. Receptor Persons, living organisms, ecological systems, controlled water, atmosphere, structures and utilities that could be adversely affected by the contaminant(s). Risk Probability of the occurrence, magnitude and consequences of an unwanted adverse effect on a receptor. Risk assessment Process of establishing, to the extent possible, the existence, nature and significance of risk. Sampling Methods and techniques used to obtain a representative sample of the material under investigation. Soil Upper layer of the earth's crust composed of mineral parts, organic substance, water, air and living matter. Note 1: In accordance with BS 10175:2001 the term soil has the meaning ascribed to it through general use in civil engineering and includes topsoil and subsoil; deposits such as clays, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, boulders and organic deposits such as peat; and material of natural or human origin (e.g. fills and deposited wastes). The term embraces all components of soil, including mineral matter, organic matter, soil gas and moisture, and living organisms. Source Location from which contamination is, or was, derived. Note 1: This could be the location of the highest soil or groundwater concentration of the contaminant(s). Uncertainty Parameter, associated with the result of a measurement that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could reasonably be attributed to the measurement.

Report Reference: WTM1-3648876 Client Reference: WIE12416_PO-80772 9 Using this report The following report is designed by Environmental Consultants for Environmental Professionals bringing together the most up-to-date market leading environmental data. This report is provided under and subject to the Terms & Conditions agreed between Groundsure and the Client. The document contains the following sections: 1. Historical Industrial Sites Provides information on past land uses that may pose a risk to the study site in terms of potential contamination from activities or processes. Potentially Infilled Land features are also included. This search is conducted using radii of up to 500m. 2. Environmental Permits, Incidents and Registers Provides information on Regulated Industrial Activities and Pollution Incidents as recorded by Regulatory Authorit- ies, and sites determined as Contaminated Land. This search is conducted using radii up to 500m. 3. Landfills and Other Waste Sites Provides information on landfills and other waste sites that may pose a risk to the study site. This search is conduc - ted using radii up to 1500m. 4. Current Land Uses Provides information on current land uses that may pose a risk to the study site in terms of potential contamination from activities or processes. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 500m. This includes information on potentially contaminative industrial sites, petrol stations and fuel sites as well as high pressure gas pipelines and un- derground electricity transmission lines. 5. Geology Provides information on artificial and superficial deposits and bedrock beneath the study site. 6. Hydrogeology and Hydrology Provides information on productive strata within the bedrock and superficial geological layers, abstraction licenses, Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and river quality. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m. 7. Flooding Provides information on river and coastal flooding, flood defences, flood storage areas and groundwater flood areas. This search is conducted using radii of up to 250m. 8. Designated Environmentally Sensitive Sites Provides information on the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), National Nature Reserves (NNR), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar sites, Local Nature Reserves (LNR), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Parks (NP), Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and World Heritage Sites and Scheduled Ancient Woodland. These searches are conduc- ted using radii of up to 2000m. 9. Natural Hazards Provides information on a range of natural hazards that may pose a risk to the study site. These factors include nat- ural ground subsidence and radon.. 10. Mining Provides information on areas of coal and non-coal mining and brine affected areas. 11. Contacts This section of the report provides contact points for statutory bodies and data providers that may be able to provide further information on issues raised within this report. Alternatively, Groundsure provide a free Technical Helpline (08444 159000) for further information and guidance. Note: Maps Only certain features are placed on the maps within the report. All features represented on maps found within this search are given an identification number. This number identifies the feature on the mapping and correlates it to the additional information provided below. This identification number precedes all other information and takes the following format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proximity that the numbers would obscure each other a letter identifier is used instead to represent the features. (e.g. Three features which overlap may be given the identifier “A” on the map and would be identified separately as features 1A, 3A, 10A on the data tables provided). Where a feature is reported in the data tables to a distance greater than the map area, it is noted in the data table as “Not Shown”. All distances given in this report are in Metres (m). Directions are given as compass headings such as N: North, E: East, NE: North East from the nearest point of the study site boundary.

6.7 Source Protection Zones within Confined Aquifer

Are there any Source Protection Zones within the Confined Aquifer within 500m of the study site? No

Historically, Source Protection Zone maps have been focused on regulation of activities which occur at or near the ground surface, such as prevention of point source pollution and bacterial contamination of water supplies. Sources in confined aquifers were often considered to be protected from these surface pressures due to the presence of a low permeability confining layer (e.g. glacial till, clay). The increased interest in subsurface activities such as onshore oil and gas exploration, ground source heating and cooling requires protection zones for confined sources to be marked on SPZ maps where this has not already been done.

7.3 Risk of Flooding from Rivers and the Sea (RoFRaS) Flood Rating

What is the highest risk of flooding onsite? Low

The Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales RoFRaS database provides an indication of river and coastal flood risk at a national level on a 50m grid with the flood rating at the centre of the grid calculated and given above. The data considers the probability that the flood defences will overtop or breach by considering their location, type, condition and standard of protection.

RoFRaS data for the study site indicates the property is in an area with a Low (greater than 1 in 1000 but less than 1 in 100) chance of flooding in any given year.

Any relevant data within 250m is represented on the RoFRaS Flood map. Data to 50m is reported in the table below.

7.7 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

7.7.1 Are there any British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site? Yes

Does this relate to Clearwater Flooding or Superficial Deposits Flooding? Clearwater Flooding

Notes: Groundwater flooding may either be associated with shallow unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers which overlie unproductive aquifers (Superficial Deposits Flooding), or with unconfined aquifers (Clearwater Flooding).

7.7.2 What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions?

Limited potential Where limited potential for groundwater flooding to occur is indicated, this means that although given the geological conditions there may be a groundwater flooding hazard, unless other relevant information, e.g. records of previous flooding, suggests groundwater flooding has occurred before in this area, you need take no further action in relation to groundwater flooding hazard.

Report Reference: WTM1-3648876 Client Reference: WIE12416_PO-80772 66 7.8 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? High

Notes: Groundwater flooding is defined as the emergence of groundwater at the ground surface or the rising of groundwater into man-made ground under conditions where the normal range of groundwater levels is exceeded.

The confidence rating is on a threefold scale - Low, Moderate and High. This provides a relative indication of the BGS confidence in the accuracy of the susceptibility result for groundwater flooding. This is based on the amount and precision of the information used in the assessment. In areas with a relatively lower level of confidence the susceptibility result should be treated with more caution. In other areas with higher levels of confidence the susceptibility result can be used with more confidence.

9.1 Detailed BGS GeoSure Data

BGS GeoSure Data has been searched to 50m. The data is included in tabular format. If you require further information on geology and ground stability, please obtain a Groundsure Geo Insight, available from our website. The following information has been found:

9.1.1 Shrink Swell

What is the maximum Shrink-Swell** hazard rating identified on the study site? Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Ground conditions predominantly medium plasticity. Do not plant trees with high soil moisture demands near to buildings. For new build, consideration should be given to advice published by the National House Building Council (NHBC) and the Building Research Establishment (BRE). There is a possible increase in construction cost to reduce potential shrink-swell problems. For existing property, there is a possible increase in insurance risk, especially during droughts or where vegetation with high moisture demands is present.

9.1.2 Landslides

What is the maximum Landslide* hazard rating identified on the study site? Very Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Slope instability problems are unlikely to be present. No special actions required to avoid problems due to landslides. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with landslides.

9.1.3 Soluble Rocks

What is the maximum Soluble Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site? Negligible

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Soluble rocks are present, but unlikely to cause problems except under exceptional conditions. No special actions required to avoid problems due to soluble rocks. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with soluble rocks.

* This indicates an automatically generated 50m buffer and site.

Report Reference: WTM1-3648876 Client Reference: WIE12416_PO-80772 72 9.1.4 Compressible Ground

What is the maximum Compressible Ground* hazard rating identified on the study site? Moderate

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Significant potential for compressibility problems. Avoid large differential loadings of ground. Do not drain or de-water ground near the property without technical advice. For new build consider possibility of compressible ground in ground investigation, construction and building design. Consider effects of groundwater changes. Extra construction costs are likely. For existing property possible increase in insurance risk from compressibility, especially if water conditions or loading of the ground change significantly.

9.1.5 Collapsible Rocks

What is the maximum Collapsible Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site? Negligible

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard No indicators for collapsible deposits identified. No actions required to avoid problems due to collapsible deposits. No special ground investigation required, or increased construction costs or increased financial risk due to potential problems with collapsible deposits.

9.1.6 Running Sand

What is the maximum Running Sand** hazard rating identified on the study site? Moderate

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Significant potential for running sand problems with relatively small changes in ground conditions. Avoid large amounts of water entering the ground (for example through pipe leakage or soak-aways). Do not dig (deep) holes into saturated ground near the property without technical advice. For new build consider the consequences of soil and groundwater conditions during and after construction. For existing property possible increase in insurance risk from running sand, for example, due to water leakage, high rainfall events or flooding.

9.2 Radon

9.2.1 Radon Affected Areas

Is the property in a Radon Affected Area as defined by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and if so what percentage of homes are above the Action Level? The property is not in a Radon Affected Area, as less than 1% of properties are above the Action Level.

* This indicates an automatically generated 50m buffer and site.

Report Reference: WTM1-3648876 Client Reference: WIE12416_PO-80772 73 9.2.2 Radon Protection

Is the property in an area where Radon Protection are required for new properties or extensions to existing ones as described in publication BR211 by the Building Research Establishment? No radon protective measures are necessary.

Report Reference: WTM1-3648876 Client Reference: WIE12416_PO-80772 74 10. Mining

10.1 Coal Mining

Are there any coal mining areas within 75m of the study site? No

Database searched and no data found.

10.2 Non-Coal Mining

Are there any Non-Coal Mining areas within 50m of the study site boundary? Yes

The following non-coal mining information is provided by the BGS:

Distance Direction Name Commodity Assessment of likelihood (m) 0.0 On Site Not available Sand Sporadic underground mining of restricted extent may have occurred. Potential for difficult ground conditions are unlikely and localised and are at a level where they need not be considered

Past underground mine workings are uncommon, localised and of limited area. The rock types present in this area are such that minor mineral veins may be present within them on which it is possible that there have been attempts to work these by underground methods and/or it is possible that small scale underground extraction of other materials may have occurred. All such occurrences are likely to be restricted in size and infrequent. It should be noted, however, that there is always the possibility of the existence of other sub-surface excavations, such as wells, cess pits, follies, air raid shelters/bunkers and other military structures etc. that could affect surface ground stability but which are outside the scope of this dataset. However, if in a coalfield area you should still consider a Coal Authority mining search for the area of interest.

10.3 Brine Affected Areas

Are there any brine affected areas within 75m of the study site? No Guidance: No Guidance Required.

The National Ground Subsidence rating is obtained through the 6 natural ground stability hazard datasets, which are supplied by the British Geological Survey (BGS).

The following GeoSure data represented on the mapping is derived from the BGS Digital Geological map of Great Britain at 1:50,000 scale.

What is the maximum hazard rating of natural subsidence within the study site** boundary? Moderate 4.1 Shrink-Swell Clays

The following Shrink Swell information provided by the British Geological Survey:

Distance ID Direction Hazard Rating Details (m) Ground conditions predominantly medium plasticity. Do not plant trees with high soil moisture demands near to buildings. For new build, consideration should be given to advice published by the National House Building Council (NHBC) and the 1 0.0 On Site Low Building Research Establishment (BRE). There is a possible increase in construction cost to reduce potential shrink swell problems. For existing property, there is a possible increase in insurance risk, especially during droughts or where vegetation with high moisture demands is present.

4.2 Landslides

The following Landslides information provided by the British Geological Survey:

Distance ID Direction Hazard Rating Details (m) Slope instability problems are unlikely to be present. No special actions required to avoid problems due to landslides. No special ground investigation required, and 1 0.0 On Site Very Low increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with landslides.

4.3 Ground Dissolution of Soluble Rocks

No special ground 1 0.0 On Site Very Low investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with compressible ground. Significant potential for compressibility problems. Do not drain, load or de-water ground near the property without technical advice. For new build, consider possibility of compressible ground in ground investigation, construction and 2 25.0 N Moderate building design. Consider effects of groundwater changes. Extra construction costs are likely. For existing property, possible increase in insurance risk from compressibility, especially if water conditions or loading of the ground change significantly.

4.5 Collapsible Deposits

The following Collapsible Rocks information provided by the British Geological Survey:

Distance ID Direction Hazard Rating Details (m) No indicators for collapsible deposits identified. No actions required to avoid problems due to collapsible deposits. No special ground investigation required, or 1 0.0 On Site Negligible increased construction costs or increased financial risk due to potential problems with collapsible deposits.

4.6 Running Sands

The following Running Sands information provided by the British Geological Survey:

Distance ID Direction Hazard Rating Details (m) Very low potential for running sand problems if water table rises or if sandy strata are exposed to water. No special actions required to avoid problems due to 1 0.0 On Site Very Low running sand. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with running sand. Significant potential for running sand problems with relatively small changes in ground conditions. Avoid large amounts of water entering the ground (for example through pipe leakage or soak-aways). Do not dig (deep) holes into 2 25.0 N Moderate saturated ground near the property without technical advice. For new build, consider the consequences of soil and groundwater conditions during and after construction. For existing property, possible increase in insurance risk from running sand, for example, due to water leakage, high rainfall events or flooding.

Appendix E Environmental Receptors The Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance has a four category system that considers harm to human health, controlled waters, flora and fauna, property, livestock and crops. The Categories are broadly defined as follows: 1 Contaminated Land – similar to land where it is known that significant harm has been caused or significant harm is being caused 2 Contaminated Land – no significant harm being caused but there is a significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future 3 Not Contaminated Land – there may be harm being caused but no significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future 4 Not Contaminated Land – no pollutant linkage, normal levels of contaminants and no significant harm being caused and no significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future. Table E.1: Significant pollution to controlled waters Pollution of controlled waters Under Section 78A(9) of Part 2A the term “pollution of controlled waters means the entry into controlled waters of any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter or any solid waste matter. The term “controlled waters” in relation to England has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the Water Resources Act 1991, except that “ground waters” does not include water contained in underground strata but above the saturation zones. (Paragraph 4.36) Given that the Part 2A regime seeks to identify and deal with significant pollution (rather than lesser levels of pollution), the local authority should seek to focus on pollution which: (i) may be harmful to human health or the quality of aquatic ecosystems or terrestrial ecosystems directly depending on aquatic ecosystems; (ii) which may result in damage to material property; or (iii) which may impair or interfere with amenities and other legitimate uses of the environment. (Paragraph 4.37) Significant pollution of controlled waters Paragraph 4.38 states that “The following types of pollution should be considered to constitute significant pollution of controlled waters: (a) Pollution equivalent to “environmental damage” to surface water or groundwater as defined by The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009, but which cannot be dealt with under those Regulations. (b) Inputs resulting in deterioration of the quality of water abstracted, or intended to be used in the future, for human consumption such that additional treatment would be required to enable that use. (c) A breach of a statutory surface water Environment Quality Standard, either directly or via a groundwater pathway. (d) Input of a substance into groundwater resulting in a significant and sustained upward trend in concentration of contaminants (as defined in Article 2(3) of the Groundwater Daughter Directive (2006/118/EC)5)”. Paragraph 4.39 states that “In some circumstances, the local authority may consider that the following types of pollution may constitute significant pollution: (a) significant concentrations6 of hazardous substances or non-hazardous pollutants in groundwater; or (b) significant concentrations of priority hazardous substances, priority substances or other specific polluting substances in surface water; at an appropriate, risk based compliance point. The local authority should only conclude that pollution is significant if it considers that treating the land as contaminated land would be in accordance with the broad objectives of the regime as described in Section 1 (of the Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance). This would normally mean that the authority should conclude that less serious forms of pollution are not significant. In such cases the authority should consult the Environment Agency”. The following types of circumstance should not be considered to be contaminated land on water pollution grounds: (a) The fact that substances are merely entering water and none of the conditions for considering that significant pollution is being caused set out in paragraphs 4.38 and 4.39 above are being met.

WIE Blank Template Appendices WIE12416-100-R-1-1-4-JT

(b) The fact that land is causing a discharge that is not discernible at a location immediately downstream or down- gradient of the land (when compared to upstream or up-gradient concentrations). (c) Substances entering water in compliance with a discharge authorised under the Environmental Permitting Regulations. Significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused In deciding whether significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused, the local authority should consider that this test is only met where it is satisfied that the substances in question are continuing to enter controlled waters; or that they have already entered the waters and are likely to do so again in such a manner that past and likely future entry in effect constitutes ongoing pollution. For these purposes, the local authority should: (a) Regard substances as having entered controlled waters where they are dissolved or suspended in those waters, or (if they are immiscible with water) they have direct contact with those waters on or beneath the surface of the water. (b) Take the term “continuing to enter” to mean any measurable entry of the substance(s) into controlled waters additional to any which has already occurred. (c) Take the term “likely to do so again” to mean more likely than not to occur again. Land should not be determined as contaminated land on grounds that significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused where: (a) the relevant substance(s) are already present in controlled waters; (b) entry into controlled waters of the substance(s) from land has ceased; and (c) it is not likely that further entry will take place. Significant Possibility of Significant Pollution of Controlled Waters In deciding whether or not a significant possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters exists, the local authority should first understand the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters posed by the land, and the levels of certainty/uncertainty attached to that understanding, before it goes on to decide whether or not that possibility is significant. The term “possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters” means the estimated likelihood that significant pollution of controlled waters might occur. In assessing the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters from land, the local authority should act in accordance with the advice on risk assessment in Section 3 and the guidance in this sub-section. In deciding whether the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters is significant the local authority should bear in mind that Part 2A makes the decision a positive legal test. In other words, for particular land to meet the test the authority needs reasonably to believe that there is a significant possibility of such pollution, rather than to demonstrate that there is not. Before making its decision on whether a given possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters is significant, the local authority should consider: (a) The estimated likelihood that the potential significant pollution of controlled waters would become manifest; the strength of evidence underlying the estimate; and the level of uncertainty underlying the estimate. (b) The estimated impact of the potential significant pollution if it did occur. This should include consideration of whether the pollution would be likely to cause a breach of European water legislation, or make a major contribution to such a breach. (c) The estimated timescale over which the significant pollution might become manifest. (d) The authority’s initial estimate of whether remediation is feasible, and if so what it would involve and the extent to which it might provide a solution to the problem; how long it would take; what benefit it would be likely to bring; and whether the benefits would outweigh the costs and any impacts on local society or the environment from taking action.
