This report has been prepared by Tweedie Evans Consulting Ltd in association with Entran Ltd. Background 1.2 The site is located off the A342 on the western edge of Ludgershall, approximately 10km north-west of Andover. The site is centred at National Grid Reference 425800, 150900 and the nearest postcode is SP11 9RT (Figure 1). The area of the site is approximately 13.3Ha and is elevated at around 135m to 145m Above Ordnance Datum (AOD). 1.3 The site is understood to be a former Ministry of Defence Medical Supplies Depot (MoD Medical Supplies Agency) and it is proposed to develop the site for residential use, comprising the construction of approximately 500-550 residential units 1.4 The aim of these works is to provide a review of preliminary information on geo- environmental and engineering conditions and constraints associated with the site with regard to the proposed development. Scope of Works 1.5 The scope of work undertaken as part of this report is presented below: Preliminary Risk Assessment. This phase of assessment involves development of an initial site conceptual model, based on desk study research and a site reconnaissance survey, in order to establish whether or not there are potentially unacceptable risks, and also whether or not further action is required. 1.6 The above scope of work has been undertaken in accordance with current guidance such as CLR 11 ‘Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination’ (Environment Agency, 2004), and BS10175:2001. 1.7 The report is presented in the following format. Preliminary Risk Assessment: Section 2 – Site Description Section 3 – Site History Section 4 – Environmental Setting 1 entran Section 5 – Summary of Previous Investigations & Assessments Section 6 – Outline Conceptual Model Preliminary Geotechnical Assessment: Section 7 – Ground Engineering Considerations Preliminary Ground Source Energy Feasibility Assessment: Section 8 – Potential Ground Source Energy Section 9 - Conclusions and Recommendations 2 entran 2 SITE DESCRIPTION Site Location 2.1 The site is located on the western edge of Ludgershall (Figure 1) and is bounded by the following features (Table 2.1): Table 2.1: Site Boundary Features Direction from Site Description North A342 followed by arable fields, including a dismantled railway. East Small wooded area followed by rail lines, further woodland and residential properties. South Rail lines followed by a grassed area, a wooded area and open land beyond, currently understood to be developed for commercial use. West Arable fields with open land towards the southern end of the western boundary. Land Use and Site Condition 2.2 A site reconnaissance survey was undertaken on 29 June 2010. A summary of the observations is presented below with the key features observed during the walkover survey shown on Figure 2. Photographs taken during the site reconnaissance survey are presented in Appendix A with photograph locations shown on Figure 3. Photographs 1 to 20 provide general views of the site conditions, while Photographs 21 to 53 provide detail of some of the potential significant features observed at the site. Current Site Use 2.3 The site is located off the A342 on the western edge of Ludgershall (Figure 1). The site is located on a former Ministry of Defence (MoD) site used predominantly as a medical supplies depot prior to the site’s disposal. The site is currently split into two areas, separated by a military road running in a north-east / south-west direction, which is utilised by the public. The southern part of the site currently consists of a number of warehouses, storage areas, offices and vehicle servicing areas while the northern half of the site is understood to have been utilised for accommodation, medical and dental services and a blood support depot. The western part of the site is currently 3 entran covered with thick vegetation including deciduous mature trees, while to the north is a former sports field. A plan indicating the current site layout is presented in Figure 2. 2.4 During the site reconnaissance survey, a number of potentially significant features were observed, including fuel storage tanks, boilers, cold storage areas, paint, battery and gas stores, corrosive, biohazard and flammable material stores, electricity sub-stations, a vehicle wash-down area, underground water storage tanks, a battery charging area, vehicle servicing areas, electrical water pumps and a disused rail line running through the southern section of the site. Site Topography 2.5 The site was observed as rising in elevation toward the north-west with elevations of between ~132.5m AOD and ~137mAOD recorded along the south-eastern boundary and elevations of ~141.5mAOD to ~147.0mAOD at the northern boundary. Hard and Soft Landscaping 2.6 Much of the site was observed to be laid to a combination of concrete and tarmacadam hardstanding. Both were encountered as in various states of repair, but typically were recorded as being in a poor to moderate condition. 2.7 Minor areas of soft landscaping were observed during the walkover and a areas of trees were noted within the western and north-western parts of the site (Figure 2). Hydrocarbon Storage 2.8 Above ground fuel storage areas were observed in three locations at the site: the main boiler house, located in the south-eastern part of the site (Photographs 21 to 24), a smaller boiler house located in the central part of the site (Photographs 25 to 30) and small boiler houses located in two of the building in the northern part of the site (Photographs 33 to 36). It should be noted that no boiler room was observed in the third building located in the northern part of the site. In addition, areas of potential Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage were recorded at two locations at the site: within the eastern part of the site (Photographs 31 and 32) and within the northern part of the site. 2.9 Two large (approximately 32000 litre) above ground storage tanks (ASTs) were observed near the central part of the south-eastern boundary, located within a brick bund (Photographs 21 and 22). At the time of the walkover the bund was observed to be filled with water 4 entran (Photograph 23), although, it should be noted that no evidence of hydrocarbon contamination (i.e. a hydrocarbon sheen) was observed at the time of the walkover survey. 2.10 Further fuel-oil storage was observed in the central part of the site (Photographs 26 and 27), where 3000 litre and 4000 litre ASTs were observed. An undrained oil sump was also observed (Photograph 27) within the fuel storage area. Strong olfactory evidence of hydrocarbon spillages was recorded within the adjacent boiler-room (Photograph 29). A fuel-oil delivery point was observed some 20m to the north of the fuel storage area. No evidence of significant hydrocarbon contamination from spillages was observed in this area. 2.11 A further large AST was observed in the northern section of the site near the northern boundary, contained within a brick bund (Photograph 33 and 34). A boiler house was observed below the main building of the northern part of the site (not entered during the walkover survey) and a second boiler house was observed in the accommodation building to the west. However, it should be noted that no boiler room was observed in the the blood support unit located in this part of the site and it is unclear how this building was heated. 2.12 Potential underground LPG storage was observed in the eastern part of the site (Photographs 31 and 32) and within the northern part of the site adjacent to the main building. LPG heaters were observed within the storage warehouses and offices in the eastern section of the site. 2.13 Minor fuel storage is understood to have been undertaken at the pumping station located adjacent to the below ground tanks within the eastern part of the site (Photographs 37 and 38). Further below ground water storage is understood to have taken place within the northern part of the site (adjacent to the entrance) although it is unclear how water was delivered to this location (Photograph 39). Other Features 2.14 Evidence of storage of potentially hazardous materials was observed during the site walkover, including the storage of paint, lithium batteries, corrosive materials, biohazards, petroleum spirit and flammable materials. 2.15 Two cold storage areas were observed within the main warehousing: three units were recorded within the central part (Photograph 40) and three newer refrigeration units were observed in the western part of the warehousing (Photograph 41).

  • Tidworth Community Area - Core Policy 17
    Responses to Question 17 – Tidworth Community Area - Core Policy 17 Cross ID Comments Officer Comments Issue Reference The North Wessex Downs AONB supports reference to the AONB but this has not been fully explained within the policy. There are issues over impact on the setting of the AONB from the Drummond Park Noted. The site area for the allocation does extend beyond development (which have led to changes of the planning application). Reference to the AONB should the current application site. Further consideration will be 149 SO5 AONB be included in the Drummond Park section. The inset map with map 5.16 is also questioned as it given on how the impact on the setting of the AONB can be appears to show Drummond Park extending across the main road and towards the AONB to the north, better referenced and mitigated against which does not accord with the existing application site area and takes in a greenfield site. I am content with the general principles of a strategy. I will, however, limit my comments to the Tidworth Community Area. I am concerned at the lack of highway infrastructure improvements for Ludgershall and believe that more flexibility is required in terms of the housing and employment allocations for the area. Ludgershall’s Memorial Junction is nearing capacity but the financial contributions that have been and will be set aside for highway solutions will not even scratch the surface. The only way to resolve the problem is to provide a second road that runs parallel with the existing A342 or a bypass for the town.

  • Technical Note: Comments on the Use of Groundwater and River Flow Models, Focused on the Candover Stream Simulation in the Test and Itchen Model
    1 © Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited Technical Note: Comments on the use of groundwater and river flow models, focused on the Candover Stream simulation in the Test and Itchen Model Background and comments from World Wildlife Fund (UK) Scope, author and reviewer Rob Soley at Amec Foster Wheeler was asked by Southern Water Services to compile this Technical Note in response to comments made by WWF on the use of the Test and Itchen Groundwater (and River Flow) Model to support the assessment of flow impacts on the Candover Stream (sometimes named as the Candover Brook). Rob has led the development and use of groundwater and river flow models across many of the Chalk catchments in Southern and Eastern England. He has also worked closely with the Environment Agency and other regulators over the last 16 years to design and improve the water resource assessment and environmental flow screening approaches used in Catchment Abstraction Management Strategies, and in support of EU Habitats Directive and Water Framework Directive objectives across the UK. The note has been reviewed by Tim Power at Amec Foster Wheeler who has carried out or managed all of the groundwater and river flow modelling for the Test and Itchen. (Within the appendices to this report, there is reference to work carried out by Entec UK Ltd and AMEC E&I UK Ltd – both of which are predecessor companies to Amec Foster Wheeler E&I UK Ltd).

  • Kellys Directory Extract 1939 Ludgershall
    Kellys Directory Extract 1939 Ludgershall LUDGERSHALL is a parish and village, situated in a hollow, bounded on the south-west by an extensive open country and contiguous to the borders of Chute Forest and the Hampshire boundary and Collingbourne woods, with a station on the Great Western railway, 7 miles north-west from Andover, 17 miles north-east from Salisbury, and 73 from London, in the Devizes division of the county, hundred of Amesbury, Everleigh and Pewsey petty sessional division, Pewsey rural district, Andover county court, rural deanery of Amesbury (Amesbury portion), and archdeaconry and diocese of Salisbury. This was formerly a market town of considerable importance and a borough by prescription, which sent representatives to Parliament at intervals from the time of Edward 1, but was disfranchised by the Municipal Corporations Act 1832 (5 and 6 Wm. IV c 76). Electricity and main water are available. The church of St. James is an ancient edifice of flint and stone in the Norman and Early English styles, consisting of chancel, nave, transepts, south porch and an embattled western tower, with four pinnacles, containing a clock and 6 bells. In 1908 the existing bells were rehung and a sixth added by Mrs and Miss Awdry in memory of the Rev. W. H. Awdry M.A. rector 1872-1899. The tower was heightened in 1871 in memory of Richard Thomas Everett, by his widow. In a window on the south side of the chancel are the arms of Henry Chicheley, Archbishop of Canterbury 1414-1443. Near the south porch is a recess containing a tomb with shields of arms and two recumbent effigies, erected in 1558, to Sir Richard and Lady Brydges, ancestors of the dukes of Buckingham and Chandos.

  • Kennet – a Community Strategy
    KDC Feb 2006 Kennet – A Community Strategy 2005 - 2015 The Kennet Local Strategic Partnership (KLSP) is committed to working together for the long term sustainability and improvement to our district. This plan has been developed to set out our long term vision and aspirations of our communities and to:- ♦ Provide the links between the Local Area Strategies and the Wiltshire Wide Strategy. ♦ Set the agenda for the LSP. ♦ Resolve potential conflict between existing plans & strategies. ♦ Identify the key priorities at Kennet level. ♦ Enable Kennet to influence decision making at county, regional and national level. ♦ Help strengthen priorities at local level. In developing this plan the KLSP is mindful of the four key components required:- ♦ A long term vision for the area focussing on the outcomes that will be achieved; ♦ An action plan identifying shorter term priorities and activities that will contribute to the achievement of the long term outcomes; ♦ A shared commitment by the partnership to the implementation of the action plan and proposals for doing so, and ♦ Arrangements for monitoring the implementation of the action plan and for periodically reviewing the Community Plan. 1 KDC Feb 2006 Background to Kennet The district of Kennet covers 370 square miles and is one of the most sparsely populated districts in England with a population in 2004/05 of 74,305. There are 0.77 people per hectare compared to a national average of 3.45. (source: Office of National Census (ONCS) 2001). The district includes in the south, Salisbury Plain and to the north the Marlborough Downs. Scattered round the district are over 70 villages and hamlets and the towns of Devizes, Marlborough and Tidworth.

  • A338/A346 HGV Registration Plate Survey October 2006
    A338/A346 HGV Registration Plate Survey October 2006 Survey Report August 2007 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Nature of Report This report has been produced to outline the results of the HGV survey undertaken in October 2006 on the A338/A346 corridor, and the A345, between the A303 and M4 Junction 15 (Plough Hill). 1.2 Background The A338/A346 forms part of the National Primary Route between Swindon/M4 and Salisbury. It is predominantly a single carriageway road, and passes through several communities, including Marlborough (see Figure 1.1). The A346 also provides a connection to Ludgershall, and via the A342, to Andover and the A303. There have been long-standing concerns in communities along the A338/A346 corridor regarding the number of through Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) using the route. However, following the opening of the A34 Newbury Bypass in November 1998, it was anticipated that there would be a transfer of HGVs away from the A338/A346 onto the more suitable A34/M4 route. Surveys undertaken by the County Council in 1999 affirmed this to be the case, with a significant reduction in the number of long-distance HGVs, particularly articulated lorries. However, despite this, local concern remains that the route is still being used by large numbers of long-distance HGV traffic as it is a shorter route (in terms of distance) to get to the M4 at Junction 15 from the south coast ports, than using the recognised strategic freight route of the A303/A34/M4(J13). This concern has been highlighted in Community Area Transport Strategies produced for the Marlborough and Tidworth Community Areas, with aspirations that some form of alleviation will be afforded to communities along the route corridor.
