Inspiration Chartered Architects Limited’s e-mailed Instructions to Proceed, dated 29th June 2020. 1.2 The Client for the project is Mr. Mark Saunders. 1.3 The site under consideration is the residential property known as “Star Court” located off Thames Street, Sonning, Reading RG4 6UR. 1.4 The approximate six-figure grid reference for the centre of the site is 475760E, 175680N. 1.5 It is understood that the proposed development at this site will comprise erection of a new property and ancillary garage with habitable accommodation to the first-floor following demolition of the existing dwelling and garage plus associated landscape and an outdoor swimming pool. Further details of the development can be found on the appended Messrs. Inspiration Chartered Architects Ltd, Site Plan, Project No. 17003, Drawing No. S_000.3. 1.6 Risk Management Limited have now been commissioned to carry out an investigation into the site comprising both a Phase I, Non-Intrusive, Desk Study and a Phase II, Intrusive, Site Investigation. 1.7 The Desk Study comprises a Walkover Survey, an Environmental Disclosure Report, and Historical Map Search and covers the whole of the site. 1.8 It should be noted that the current Desk Study is designed for geo-environmental purposes only and does not include a Structural Survey, Ecological Survey, above ground or building Asbestos Survey or an Invasive Plant Survey for Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed etc. 1.9 The Intrusive site investigation provides information on the sub-soil conditions at this site and the results of laboratory testing. 1.10 This report presents the work carried out and discusses the findings. Project No. RML 6994 Page 2 of 28 “Star Court”, Sonning July 2020 2.0 WALKOVER SURVEY 2.1 A Walkover Survey of the current property, and that of the immediate surrounding area, was carried out by Risk Management Limited on the 15th July 2020. 2.2 The site is an irregular shape in plan, covers an area of approximately 0.33ha and is generally flat with a slope down from south to north. Access to the site is gained via a shared tarmac access area off of Thames Street to the south. 2.3 The site consists of a large, generally square-shaped, parcel of land comprising the majority of the site with a gravel access driveway to the southern portion of the site. The driveway is bordered by flower beds and trees/shrubs and curves to the north east as the site opens. The gravel continues and surrounds a large two-storey brick-built property with a pitched tiled roof. The dwelling is generally rectangular with single-storey projections on the north-west flank and an entrance porch on the south-west flank. To the west, north and north-east of the dwelling are landscaped areas of grass, bordered by beds of trees/shrubs. To the south of the dwelling beyond the gravel driveway are retaining sleepers with a raised area of sparse trees. To the south-east of the property is a single-storey brick built outbuilding. 2.4 The north-eastern boundary to the current site is formed in part by a brickwork wall and a timber panel fence. Beyond this boundary are the grounds of another residential property. 2.5 The eastern boundary to the current site is formed by a brickwork wall and the outbuilding, beyond which are, again, the grounds of a residential property. 2.6 The southern boundary to the current site is formed by a timber panel fence. Beyond this boundary are the grounds of another residential property. 2.7 The western boundary to the current site is formed by the wooden entrance gates and is part undefined and part timber panel fence. Beyond this boundary is a forecourt area with garages and Deanery Lodge with Thames Street further beyond. 2.8 The north-western boundary to the current site is formed by a timber panel fence. Beyond the boundary are the grounds of a residential property. Project No. RML 6994 Page 3 of 28 “Star Court”, Sonning July 2020 2.9 On the site itself are drainage manholes to the rear of the dwelling. No evidence of other major services were visually evident during the Walkover Survey. 2.10 The site lies in a mainly residential location with Sonning High Street and the River Thames close by. 2.11 No visual, or olfactory evidence of contamination was noted during the walkover survey. 2.12 Plates 1-4, appended, show general photographs of the site at the time of the current Walkover Survey. Project No. RML 6994 Page 4 of 28 “Star Court”, Sonning July 2020 3.0 PHASE 1 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT 3.1 An Envirocheck Report was commissioned for the current site covering an area of up to 1000m from the centre of the site. 3.2 Only criteria within 250m of the centre of the site are discussed in detail below but full results of all the search criteria up to 1000m from the centre of the site are summarised within the relevant pages of the appended EnviroCheck Report. 3.3 From reference to the local Ordnance Survey mapping the nearest watercourse would be the River Thames which lies approximately 150m to the north-west of the current site at its nearest point. 3.4 The general hydraulic gradient for the catchment is assumed to be in a north-westerly or westerly direction towards the River Thames. Therefore, only potential sources of contamination to the south-east and possibly the east of the current site are considered likely to have any significant impact. Geo-Environmental Hazards 3.5 The following table summarises the potential geo-environmental hazards and mitigation measures for this site. Data Type Hazard Mitigation Measures for currently proposed development Landfill & Waste The Local Authority Landfill Coverage is designated as Gas monitoring Management Facilities Wokingham District Council and Oxfordshire County will be undertaken Council who have both supplied landfill data.

Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

  • 2.1.1 Supplemental Data Summary - A4155 Flowing Springs
    2.1.1 Supplemental Data Summary - A4155 Flowing Springs Combined Option 1 & 2 Regrade and Gravity Wall Strategic Network • "The only impact for local service buses would be on the A4155: Carousel buses X80 service Monday-Saturday. Buses would need to divert via Binfield Heath/Dunsden Green" - Chris Spry's comments. •" Regarding the Playhatch area we have ATC 187 just south of the roundabout and have attached the weeks’ worth of flows from 2016 (AADT = 17603). North of the roundabout in 2010 we carried out a speed survey and the flows from this provide an AADT = 8359. Further along the A4155 just south of Henley we have a 2016 AADT = 10825. There are plenty of opportunities to loose vehicles between these two count sites (including Lower Shiplake) so the 2010 AADT is possibly a little low compared to what a 2016 survey would show but overall probably not too far out." - Richard Bowman's comments • "This is a significant route and a link road between the bridges crossing the river Thames particularly in this area that links to the Playhatch bridge on the B478 which takes large volumes of peak time traffic across the river Thames, if the A4155 were to close it would cause significant traffic problems in Henley and on Henley bridge in particular as well as having a major impact on the two river bridges in Reading. It’s closure would severely impact on bus routes in the area. " - Bob Eeles comments • 8000 AADT in 2015.
