This technical review has been prepared by Arup, JMP (traffic and transport) and SCC (historic environment) on behalf of the Joint Councils. The technical review relates primarily to the administrative areas of the Joint Councils. The Joint Councils have also worked closely with both Bristol City Council (BCC) and South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) in reviewing the consultation material. Traffic and transport comments in this report are made on behalf of BCC and SGC as well as the Joint Councils. This report has been prepared to help inform a response to National Grid regarding the draft proposals and PEIR for the HPC Connection Project. The PEIR precedes submission of an application for Development Consent by National Grid, which we understand is scheduled for early 2014. This report is intended to complement individual responses that may have been made or may be made by individual authorities and does not seek to prejudice those responses. Outstanding information and further structured engagement As would be expected for a PEIR document, additional baseline data and assessment material remains to be prepared prior to its incorporation into a formal Environmental Statement (ES) to accompany the application for Development Consent. A number of matters remain unresolved from earlier consultations and are identified again in this response. The additional information required includes: Photomontages from all agreed viewpoints but in particular for key views such as the crossing of the Polden Hills; A landscape scheme (as referred to in Schedule 2, Article 4 of the draft DCO) according with the principles set out in paragraph 2.8.11 of the National Policy Statement (NPS) for Electricity Networks Infrastructure (EN-5)1 and paragraph 5.10.20 of the NPS for Energy EN-12; An ecological management strategy (as referred to in Schedule 2, Article 10 of the draft DCO) and according with the principles set out in Section 2.7 of NPS EN-5; Ecological survey data and impact assessment of green route proposals for the 132kV undergrounding near Portishead; A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) (as referred to in Schedule 2 Article 11 of the draft DCO); A Transport Assessment (TA); 1 National Policy Statement for Electricity Networks Infrastructure (EN-5).

The extensive nature of the highlighted list, which includes key mitigation strategies that are referenced in the draft DCO, limits a full understanding of the environmental effects of the project at this stage. The mitigation strategies address the principle impacts of the proposals (e.g. in relation to landscape, ecology, transport, PRoW and construction activities). Ideally, these mitigation strategies would have been available for public comment as part of the PEIR, to enable a more complete understanding of the environmental effects of the project and the

Flailing of watercourse banks will normally be necessary and this may take place several days before the weed-cutting work. All works will be undertaken in accordance with the Board’s Conservation Policy and Best Practice Guidelines. Riparian owners are reminded that in accordance with the Board’s Byelaws (2011) a 9-metre wide strip of land from the top of the bank should be kept clear for access and maintenance purposes. This particularly applies where land has been sub-divided to form small ‘pony paddocks’. The Board has legal right of entry, whilst efforts are made to minimise damage to crops it may not be possible to interrupt or delay the programme to avoid harvesting operations, as the Board’s contractor follows well-established operational routes for maximum efficiency.

  • Flood Risk Assessment – 10 Fulmar Road, Weston-Super-Mare
    Our Ref: J-14088-01-HG 17th December 2020 Mr Hudson 10 Fulmar Road Mead Vale Weston-Super-Mare BS22 6YU Re: Flood Risk Assessment – 10 Fulmar Road, Weston-Super-Mare Introduction Mr Hudson is proposing a new build dormer house at 10 Fulmar Road, Mead Vale, Weston-Super-Mare. As part of the planning process it has become apparent that the site is at risk of flooding. According to the Environment Agency (EA) indicative flood map (Figure 2) the site appears to be located in Defended Flood Zone 3 and is therefore at a risk from flooding. As such, Mr Hudson has commissioned Nijhuis Industries Ltd to undertake a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) for the site. This report comprises the FRA for the proposed development, in line with The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Site Description The approximate OSGR for the site is ST 35770 62196. The site location is shown in Figure 1 below. At present the site is occupied by the existing garage for 10 Fulmar Road. In a wider context the site is located in the centre of Weston-Super-Mare. Figure 1.
