1. TERMS OF REFERENCE

A F Howland Associates Limited was instructed by Mr & Mrs Rudd (the “Client”) to carry out a Phase I Desk Study at The Lindens Barn, Drayton Lane, Horsford, NR10 3AN (Fig. 18.288/PhaseI/01). This was required to address condition 7 of planning permission reference no. 20180874 for the conversion and extension of a former agricultural barn and plot of land for a residential end-use.

This report presents the background environmental and historical data for the site and gives details of a site walkover undertaken to confirm the current condition of the site and surrounding area. The report also includes the findings of a limited intrusive investigation undertaken during the site walkover, with the findings discussed as part of a qualitative contamination risk assessment.

An environmental database report was commissioned to provide certain background information and is included in Appendix B, with relevant details presented where necessary. Other sources of data were used to verify the findings of the environmental database report, supported by anecdotal evidence, and add details where appropriate. A Structural Appraisal report has also been prepared for the site by Frith:Blake Consulting Limited (2018) and is referred to where appropriate.

The report has been carried out in general accordance with accepted best practice and methodologies (BSI, 2017) (DEFRA and EA, 2004) (DCLG, 2010) and was prepared for the sole and exclusive use of the Client and its advisors. Other parties using the contained information do so at their own risk and any duty of care to those parties is specifically excluded subject to copyright as detailed below.

2. LOCATION

The site is located on Drayton Lane, approximately 0.5 km south of the village of Horsford, , centred at National Grid reference 619405, 315327 and at an elevation of approximately 35 m above Ordnance Datum (aOD).

3. GEOLOGY

The regional geology is mapped for the area by the British Geological Survey (BGS, 2018) as bedrock of Crag Formation overlain by superficial deposits of the Sheringham Cliffs Formation. Superficial Head deposits are mapped adjacent to the east of the site.

4. HYDROLOGY

There are two surface water courses within 500 m, both are drainage ditches approximately 368 m to the east and 420 m to the north. There are no surface water abstraction licences within a kilometre of the site.

The Wroxham Crag Formation is classified as a principal aquifer whilst the superficial deposits are designated secondary (A) aquifer status. All are considered to be of high leaching potential. The site is not located within a groundwater source protection zone. There are no potable water abstraction licences within a kilometre of the site, whilst there is one groundwater abstraction licence within 500 m of the site which is for general farming and domestic purposes.

Regional hydrogeological mapping indicates the piezometric head of groundwater to be at around 20 m aOD which is approximately 15 m below ground level (Institute of Geological Sciences, 1976).

5. HISTORICAL INFORMATION

A review of historical information has been undertaken, including publically available OS mapping and aerial images. This is supported by anecdotal evidence where appropriate.

Since circa 1882, the earliest edition of Ordnance Survey mapping, there has been a structure in the eastern part of the site, which anecdotal evidence suggests was a threshing barn. The central part of the site comprised a structure along the northern boundary with another in the western part, which anecdotal evidence suggests may have

been cattle sheds. These buildings formed a U-shaped structure set around a courtyard area in the southern part of the site fronting on to a road, as indicated in Figure 1 below which shows the site during the mid-1960s. Over the course of the historical mapping, available until the early 1990s, there have been no significant changes to the site.

Figure 1: Photograph showing the site (bottom left of photograph as indicated approximately in red) and adjacent residential dwelling circa 1964; as supplied by the Client

During the late 1900s, anecdotal evidence suggests that the threshing barn was used to store a tractor, whilst the cattle sheds are understood to have been used by a local builder to store surplus construction materials through to the late 1990s. The site then became disused and the former cattle sheds were demolished leaving only a small section remaining in the north western part of the site. The barn in the east has been unoccupied since the late 1990s and since fallen into a state of dereliction until the present-day.

The central part of the site was purchased by the current owners circa 10 years ago, and was incorporated into their residential dwelling and garden as a walled gravelled- courtyard with lawn and raised beds. The remaining structure in the western part of the site has then been used as domestic storage. This establishes the present-day configuration of the site.

Since 1882, there has been a residential dwelling, surveyed as The Cottage set in a private garden, immediately adjacent to the north and east of the site, with this and the site fronting onto a road to the south. This establishes the present-day use and layout of this area, with the dwelling becoming surveyed as The Lindens by the 1970s. The road to the south establishes the present-day alignment of Drayton Lane, whilst the B1149 further to the east is also established by 1882.

From the earliest mapping, the wider surrounding area comprised fields, with the village of Horsford approximately 500 m to the north and All Saints’ Church, Vicarage, Church Farm and several other dwellings surveyed approximately 250 to 400 m to the east. The Crown Public House is also surveyed approximately 130 m to the east on the intersection of Drayton Lane and the B1149. This area has remained relatively unchanged, with Horsford developing significantly to the north of the village and sporadically to the west. There has also been limited residential development along the B1149 to the south of Horsford. During the late 1960s to the early 1970s there were also two buildings surveyed on the opposite side of Drayton Lane which are considered residential dwellings.

The environmental database report also highlights three historical industrial land uses, including a nursery approximately 400 m to the south, a sewage pumping station 412 m to the north and an unspecified works approximately 440 m to the north west. These are indicated on the OS mapping from the 1970s.

Aerial images from 1999 to 2007 show very little detail of the site due to dense vegetation, with a reduction in the number of trees shown from the 2007 to 2011 images and the establishment of the gravelled courtyard and lawn on the site.

The 1999 aerial image confirms the immediate surrounding land use to the north, south and east as residential, whilst showing agricultural buildings adjacent to the west. The aerial images do not show any significant changes to the immediate surrounding area, except the 2017 aerial image showing the construction of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road approximately 550 m to the south west, with a new link road from it to the B1149 approximately 170 m south of the site at its closest extent.

6. CURRENT LAND USES

The current immediate surrounding land use is predominantly residential with arable fields beyond, and Horsford further to the north. The environmental database report (Appendix B) identifies livestock farming facilities 55 m to the east, however this is considered to relate to the agricultural buildings immediately to the west of the site. The environmental database report does not highlight any other current industrial land uses within 250 m of the site.

7. WALKOVER SURVEY

A walkover survey was carried out on 9 August 2018 to enable identification of the current land use and other details not otherwise available from the archival information. The salient features are shown on drawing 18.288/PhaseI/02.

The site comprised a walled courtyard with a double storey barn occupying the eastern part of the site and a single storey garage in the north west. Access to barn was gained directly from Drayton Road, whilst the courtyard was accessed from the residential garden via a timber gate from the north. The far western part of the site was part of the adjacent residential garden and was a timber store and composting area. It will be incorporated into the site as part of the development.

The eastern boundary of the site was demarcated by the barn, whilst mature trees and a wood panelled fence lined the western boundary. The northern and southern perimeters consisted of the flint and brick courtyard walls.

The barn was of a brick and flint construction with a timber framed and pantile-clad roof. The roof was in a state of disrepair and partially collapsed. The structural state of the barn is further outlined in greater detail in the Structural Appraisal Report by Frith:Blake Consulting Limited (2018). Inside the barn, the floor was brick-lined in places but was potentially bare soils in others. It was difficult to fully determine this as there was of a lot of detritus and timber, as well as agricultural materials and partially collapsed parts of the roof covering the floor.

In the south eastern corner of the barn was an above ground gas oil storage tank, shown in Figure 2 below. It was raised approximately 1.4 m off the ground by breezeblocks, with brick-lined flooring beneath. It was a single-skin steel tank measuring 1.5 m long by 0.6 m

wide by 1.2 m high, suggesting a capacity of approximately 1000 litres. The tank showed signs of rust, with small areas of staining on the floor immediately below the outlet hose, as shown in Figure 3 below. Anecdotal evidence suggests the tank was used to store gas oil for a tractor that was kept in the barn. It is understood that the tank has not been in use for the last fifteen to twenty years, but was recently emptied prior to the current owners purchasing the barn.

The courtyard area was partially surfaced with gravel overlying a fabric membrane and partially by a lawn. Anecdotal evidence suggests there is concrete hardstanding beneath the fabric membrane. It is also understood that the lawn has showed no signs of poor health that could be associated with potentially contaminated soils since it was laid circa 10 years ago. There were also three raised beds used to grow vegetables and flowers.

The single storey garage in the north western part of the site was of a brick and flint construction, with a timber frame pantile-clad roof. The eastern wall consisted of rendered breezeblocks and a metal garage door. The floor was of concrete hardstanding, which appeared in a good condition. The garage was being used as a store for the residential dwelling with gardening tools and equipment as well as domestic and miscellaneous materials. There was a timber store enclosed by brick walls immediately to the south of the garage. Behind this was a further timber store and compost bins.

Surrounding the site to the north and east was a residential garden, whilst Drayton Lane was immediately to the south with residential gardens on the opposite side. To the west was a pig farm, with the wider surrounding area comprising fields. The centre of the village of Horsford was approximately half a kilometre to the north.

8. HAZARDOUS GASES AND VAPOURS

Building Research Establishment report BR211 (BRE, 2015) indicates that the site is not within an area where specific protection from radon gas is required.

The environmental database report identifies potentially infilled ponds approximately 340 m to the east. There are no historical or current landfill sites within 500 m of the site.

The walkover identified an above ground gas oil storage tank within the barn, which showed limited signs of potential leakages and spillages. Any potential residual contamination in the near surface soils associated with any leakages or spillages could present a source of hazardous vapours.

9. INTRUSIVE INVESTIGATION

During the site walkover two hand dug trial pits were excavated at the base of the gas oil tank within the barn in order to investigate the near surface soils around the base of the tank and screen for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a MiniRAE 3000 portable PID.

The positions were set out on site by AFHA and a cable avoidance tool (CAT) was used to sweep the trial pit locations and surrounding areas to locate any services. The approximate locations of the trial pits are shown on drawing 18.288/Phase1/02, included in Appendix and the strata presents on records in Appendix C.

The trial pits, referenced TP01 and TP02, where excavated by hand utilising insulated digging tools. Sampling and soil descriptions have been carried out in accordance with BS EN-1997-2:2007 Eurocode 7 (BSI, 2007) and its UK National Annex supported by BS 5930:2015 (BSI, 2015).

The results of the screening for VOCs is summarised in Table 1 below:

Depth VOC Screening (ppm) (m bgl) TP01 TP02 0.00 6.5 - 0.05 14.9 0.0 0.10 - 0.0 0.20 0.2 0.0 0.50 0.0 - 0.55 - 0.0

Table 1: Results of VOC screening used a MiniRAE 3000 portable PID

10. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The site is proposed to be developed for a residential end-use, with the conversion of the barn and an addition of an extension, as detailed on drawing 1092/(-)03A, dated April 2018, prepared by William Glover Architectural Technologist which is included in Appendix D. The proposals also include a courtyard garden and car parking as well as a new sewage treatment plant and soakaway in the far western part of the site.

The Wroxham Crag Formation is considered a principal aquifer and the superficial deposits are designated a secondary (A) aquifer, but the site is not within a source protection zone

and there were no potable groundwater abstraction licences within 500 m. There are no areas of surface water within a distance that could be influenced by the site either.

A review of historical and contemporary archives suggest the site has been occupied by agricultural buildings since at least the late nineteenth century. The site did not change significantly until the late 1990s, when the former cattle sheds were demolished and the site became disused, with the barn falling into a state of disrepair until the present-day. The archives and anecdotal evidence suggest the barn was a threshing barn, which was latterly used to store agricultural machinery and an above ground gas oil tank. The former cattle sheds were known to have been used to store surplus building materials in the latter part of the 1900s as well.

More recently, the central and western part of the site has been a courtyard garden for the adjacent residential dwelling, with no olfactory signs of any significant contamination, as the lawn and other plants have showed no signs of impact from any potential contamination.

The above ground gas oil storage tank within the barn is considered a potential source of contamination if there have been significant spillages or leakages, which could have resulted in residual contamination in the near surface soils. Whilst the tank had begun to rust, it appeared in relatively good condition. There was some localised staining on the floor beneath the outlet hose. Due to the small scale nature of the staining and the position of the tank within the barn, the tank is not considered to pose a significant risk to soils elsewhere on the site beyond the barn. Trial pit TP01 undertaken at the base of the tank, where the staining was present, indicates the staining was restricted to the surface above potential timber flooring. VOC screening on the soils above the flooring showed minor elevations, restricted to the top 0.1 m, with the made ground beneath the flooring showing no significant signs of contamination. Therefore, there is unlikely to be significant mobile contamination that would readily transmit into the underlying natural soils or impact controlled waters. A second trial pit, TP02, adjacent to the tank where brick-lined flooring was present did not record any elevations during VOC screening, re-affirming the limited scale of the staining. Therefore, there is unlikely to be significant residual contamination that could produce significant vapours that would affect the habitation of the barn. Notwithstanding this, it is also understood as part of the development that a new concrete floor is to be laid, such that the current floor is likely to be removed alongside any minor and localised hydrocarbon staining.

The nearest areas of potentially infilled land are former ponds approximately 340 m to the east, which are indicated to have been filled by the mid-1900s. There is unlikely to be significant ground gas production taking place, and notwithstanding this, due to the distance from the site they are unlikely to pose a significant risk to the site.

11. PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL MODEL

Following a review of the archival information and the walkover survey a preliminary conceptual model was devised to determine the risk to appropriate targets from the potential contaminating activities assessed for the site. This collates the evidence gained and establishes the potential linkages that may exist under the principle of “source- pathway-receptor” and is presented in Table 2 below.

A risk category is determined for the potential linkages and an assessment made of risk and the significance of that risk from professional judgement. Risk assessment classification is included in Appendix D. Where appropriate, further work is recommended to assess whether the potential linkages are realised and a revised conceptual model formulated as part of a Phase II investigation.

It should be noted that an assessment of risk to construction workers suggests that only contamination of acute toxicity might represent an unacceptable risk to the health of construction workers but which should be managed through health and safety procedures.

12. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. A Phase I Desk Study was undertaken to address Condition 7 of Planning Permission Reference No. 20180874 for the conversion and extension of an agricultural building and plot of land at The Lindens Barn, Drayton Lane, Horsford to a residential end-use. 2. Geological mapping indicates the site to be underlain by bedrock of the Wroxham Crag Formation, overlain by superficial deposits of the Sheringham Cliffs Formation. The bedrock geology is designated a principal aquifer status, whilst the superficial deposits are designated a secondary (A) aquifer status. The site is not within a source protection zone and there are no groundwater abstraction licences within a distance that could be impacted by the site. 3. The nearest surface water course are drainage ditches approximately 368 m to the east and 420 m to the north. 4. The earliest historical records indicate the site was occupied by agricultural buildings, with the site not changing significantly until the late 1990s. The site comprised a threshing barn in the east, which latterly stored agricultural machinery and an above ground gas oil tank, before becoming disused in the late 1990s and fell into a state of disrepair to the present-day. Cattle sheds were present in the north and west, which were latterly used to store surplus building materials before the buildings were partially demolished in the late 1990s. This area was disused until the current owners purchased this part of the site and incorporated into their dwelling as a courtyard garden. 5. The gas oil tank, present within the barn, was raised off the ground and in relatively good condition. There was minor hydrocarbon staining beneath the outlet hose, with trial pitting and VOC screening indicating the staining to be limited to the surface with minor VOC levels in the top 0.1 m. There were no olfactory signs of hydrocarbon contamination in the soils beneath 0.1 m or in TP02 at the base of the tank. 6. A low risk to human end-users from direct contact, inhalation or ingestion of contaminated soil and dust has been concluded given significant contamination is considered unlikely. 7. Providing construction workers wear appropriate PPE and adopt suitable hygiene precautions a very low risk has been identified. 8. Groundwater and surface water are considered to be at low and very low risk respectively as there is no evidence of significant mobile or leachable

contamination, including beneath the tank as trial pitting and VOC screening indicates hydrocarbon staining is minor and spatially limited. 9. Building materials are considered to be at low risk from being affected by aggressive chemicals arising from the former use of the site. Although water supply pipes are considered to be at a low risk, it would be prudent to place these within a clean surround to reduce the potential for impact by any organic contaminants, unless they can be laid directly into natural ground. 10. The minor hydrocarbon staining below the tank and minor VOC levels in TP01, suggest there is unlikely to be a significant risk from vapours associated with any residual contamination associated with any leaks or spills from the tank. A low risk was therefore concluded to human end-users from hazardous vapours. 11. There is no potentially infilled land or other ground gas sources close to the site and it is not in a radon affected area. As such, a low risk from ground and radon gas is concluded. 12. No further assessment is required to ensure that the site is suitable for the proposed end-use. If any suspected contamination is encountered during construction the advice of a specialist should be sought with respect to appropriate action to be taken.

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.

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.

Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network entries within 500m of the study site

This watercourse information is provided by Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network. The data provides a detailed centre line following the curve of the waterway precisely, so all distances provided in the report should be understood as measurements to the centreline rather than a measurement to the nearest point of the watercourse. Underground watercourses are inferred from entry and exit points so caution is advised in using these to indicate precise locations of underground watercourses when planning site investigation and development.

7.7.2 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.

7.8 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result Low

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.

Report Reference: GS-5295395 Client Reference: 18_288_BJH 46 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 site is not in a Radon Affected Area, as less than 1% of properties are above the Action Level.

The radon data in this report is supplied by the BGS/Public Health England and is the definitive map of Radon Affected Areas in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The dataset was created using long-term radon measurements in over 479,000 homes across Great Britain and 23,000 homes across Northern Ireland, combined with geological data. The dataset is considered accurate to 50m to allow for the margin of error in geological lines, and the findings of this report supercede any answer given in the less accurate Indicative Atlas of Radon in Great Britain, which simplifies the data to give the highest risk within any given 1km grid square. As such, the radon atlas is considered indicative, whereas the data given in this report is considered definitive.

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.

Classification Definition

Very High Risk There is a high probability that severe harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard or there is evidence that severe harm is occurring. The risk, if realised, is likely to result in a substantial liability. Urgent investigation and remediation will be required. High Risk Harm or chronic damage is likely to arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. Investigation is required and remediation is likely to be required to ensure the site is suitable for a proposed use. Moderate Risk It is possible that harm or chronic damage could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. However, it is relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe. Investigation and remediation are likely to be required to ensure the site is suitable for a proposed use. Low/Moderate Risk It is possible that harm or chronic damage could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. Investigation is likely to be required. However, circumstances are such that investigation may prove the consequence to be mild and the site suitable for use without remediation. Low Risk It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard but it is likely that this harm, if realised, would at worst be mild. Investigation is unlikely to be required. Very Low Risk There is a low possibility that harm could arise to a receptor. In the event of such harm being realised it is not likely to be severe. Investigation is not required. TABLE E3: DESCRIPTION OF RISK
