Description of Site, Proposal and Constraints The application relates to land adjacent to Old Gore House, Bristol Road, Emborough. The site lies within a Water Source Protection Zone. The application seeks full planning permission for a proposed new dwelling on-site of former petrol filling station and car sales (re-submission). Summary of parish comments, any objections or conflict with the recommendation Ston Easton Parish Council Considered the above application at a meeting on 8th September and unanimously recommended approval. Highway Authority (Somerset County Council) Standing advice applies Environmental Health Officer (internal) This proposed dwelling is located adjacent to the busy A37 therefore the effects of traffic noise upon the internal and external amenity of this property is going to be a major consideration. Without a noise assessment, which assess the impact of road traffic noise and which recommendations suitable noise control measures to ensure the property meet the requirements of BS82333 (Sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings - Code of practice), we cannot support this application as it stands. Environment Agency Planning Board Report 19th October 2016 Page 4 We would currently have to object to this application due to lack of information needed to assess the risk to controlled waters. The development is situated within a Source Protection Zone Two as defined in the Agency's Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater, which will require protection. The Envirosearch report submitted with this application shows the site is adjacent to a fuel station with historical tanks. Therefore, there is a risk that contamination from these tanks (leaks, spills) has migrated under the proposed site. Discharge of water to ground via soakaway and septic tank could potentially mobilise this contamination. The site lies within the source protection zone for a public water supply. Therefore, the contaminated water may make its way into the public water supply. The site will need to be investigated to determine the presence or absence of contamination. Therefore, a scheme that includes the following components to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site should each be submitted to the Local Planning Authority (LPA): 1) A preliminary risk assessment which has identified: all previous uses, potential contaminants associated with those uses, a conceptual model of the site indicating sources, pathways and receptors, potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site. 2) A site investigation scheme, based on (1) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site. 3) The results of the site investigation and detailed risk assessment referred to in (2) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken. 4) A verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation strategy in (3) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action. In addition, if the applicant wishes to discharge treated sewage effluent into a surface water or to ground the applicant may require an Environmental Permit from us. In some cases they may be able to register an exemption.
