Introduction 1.1 Terms of Reference Entec UK Ltd (“Entec”) was commissioned by Essex Waste Partnership to carry out an initial environmental site appraisal (EnSA) of the proposed Courtauld Road Integrated Recycling and Waste Management Centre site at Courtauld Road, Basildon, Essex. 1.2 Purpose of this Report The principal aim of this report is characterise the environmental status of the site, and to provide a preliminary assessment of the potential for ground contamination issues to be present. The objective of the assessment is to identify potentially significant environmental issues or liabilities, predominantly with respect to ground conditions, associated with the subject site which could present issues or risks associated with acquisition, ownership, continued operation, and/or redevelopment of the site. This assessment is based on several assumptions, including: • that all information and/or documents provided to Entec by the client in connection with the preparation of this report are accurate, complete and not misleading. • that third party data and documents referenced in this report or provided by the client are accurate, complete and not misleading. 1.3 Legislative Context This appraisal has been completed primarily with regard to current potential contaminated land liabilities (under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act), and to future planning requirements (following Planning Policy Statement 23 guidance). 1.4 Information Sources The following site-specific information sources have been utilised in this report: • Envirocheck Report and Historical Mapping (Appendix B). • British Geological Survey mapping. • Environment Agency Groundwater Vulnerability Maps. • Previous environmental and archaeological reports relevant to the site. h:\projects\cl-240\26001 - 27000\26619 - courtauld road - temp sub\reports\courtauld road ensa - final.doc © Entec UK Limited January 2010 2 h:\projects\cl-240\26001 - 27000\26619 - courtauld road - temp sub\reports\courtauld road ensa - final.doc © Entec UK Limited January 2010 3 2. Site Setting 2.1 Site Status Site Name & Address: Courtauld Road, Integrated Recycling and Waste Management Facility, Courtauld Road, Basildon, Essex. Grid Reference: TQ 74089 91330 Site Area: 37 ha Current Site Use: Agriculture/Open Land Proposed Site It is understood that the client is proposing to develop the south part of the site as an Integrated Use: Recycling and Waste Management Facility and develop the area north of the site as flood plain. 2.2 Site Description 2.2.1 The Site The site comprises two parcels of land, situated to the north and south of the A127 near Basildon, Essex. Both land parcels, until recently, comprised open land. The southern portion comprised marsh land with some ponded water, trees and scrub. The northern portion was used for agricultural grazing land. Entec understand that site enabling works are currently in progress on the site. These enabling works comprise predominantly the excavation of soil from the northern portion, and its redeposition in the southern portion, thereby raising levels. These activities are being undertaken to facilitate future development on the southern half. This southern half was previously assigned as a flood-alleviation plain. These enabling works comprise re-allocation of flood-plain land in the northern half (via excavation and hence an engineered low-level flood basin), and raising site levels in the south. The soil redeposition in the south includes the re-alignment of a stream in this area, and deposition to engineering specification. 2.2.2 The Surrounding Area North: Immediately north of the site is agricultural land. Sporadic residential housing is situated beyond. A small commercial/industrial estate is situated close to the northeast boundary. The nearest residential properties lie approximately 80m north of the site. East: North half: Small-scale mixed commercial and residential properties. South half: Burnt Mills Industrial Estate South: Courtauld Road, then Burnt Mills Industrial Estate. Beyond this lies residential housing. h:\projects\cl-240\26001 - 27000\26619 - courtauld road - temp sub\reports\courtauld road ensa - final.doc © Entec UK Limited January 2010 4 West: North half: Agricultural land, farm dwellings and a small number of residential properties. South half: A sewage works and commercial property. Beyond this lies residential housing. 2.3 Site History A summary of the historical development of the site, based on historical OS maps, is presented below: Table 2.1 Summary of Historical Development of Site Date Description 1874 – On-Site: The site comprises fields with a number of footpaths and drainage channels and two footbridges 1879 both in the north and south of the site. The land is divided into irregular shaped fields which are delineated with fences or rows of trees. There appears to be three small ponds on the site in the north, centre and south. At this time there is no road passing through the site. Off-Site: The predominant surrounding land use is agriculture and a number of farmsteads are present surrounding the site. Nevenden Hall is shown to the southeast of the site, beyond which lies Basildon. Adjacent to the west and northwest boundary, dwellings of ‘Fore Riders’ and ‘Chambers’ and Watts Farm are shown. 1924 On-Site: The gardens of residential property development and a small section of road encroach on a small portion of the southeast of the site. No other significant changes are evident. Off-Site: To the southeast of the site, residential development has taken place. A water pumping station is shown 200m northeast of the south portion of the site. 1938-39 On-Site: A sewage pumping station is present in the centre of the southern portion of the site. A track leads from this station to join the A127 road which has now been constructed and passes through the centre of the site trending east-west. Three electric cable pillars have been constructed in the north of the site. The cabling trends east-west. Off-Site: 150m northeast of the site, Cross Park Road is depicted with associated small buildings. Two tanks are depicted at the sewage pumping station to the northeast of the site. 1947 On-Site: No other significant features are visible. (Aerial Photo) Off-Site: No other significant features are visible. 1956-57 On-Site: A track is shown leading to sewage pumping station from the road in the southeast of the site. Off-Site: The tanks associated with the water pumping station are no longer shown. Further residential development has taken place to the northeast and southeast of the site. A gas holder (associated with Gas Works facility) is shown approximately 400m southwest of the site. 1960 On-Site: No other significant features are evident. Off-Site: A large sewage works is depicted 100m to the west of the site. To the north of the sewage works, a large embankment is shown. 750m west of the site, a large industrial estate comprising factories, works and a bakery is shown. Residential development has taken place 400m south of the site.

    Capital Project Business Case Fairglen New Link Road

    Capital Project Business Case Fairglen New Link Road The template This document provides the business case template for projects seeking funding which is made available through the South East Local Enterprise Partnership. It is therefore designed to satisfy all SELEP governance processes, approvals by the Strategic Board, the Accountability Board and also the early requirements of the Independent Technical Evaluation process where applied. It is also designed to be applicable across all funding streams made available by Government through SELEP. It should be filled in by the scheme promoter – defined as the final beneficiary of funding. In most cases, this is the local authority; but in some cases the local authority acts as Accountable Body for a private sector final beneficiary. In those circumstances, the private sector beneficiary would complete this application and the SELEP team would be on hand, with local partners in the federated boards, to support the promoter. Please note that this template should be completed in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the HM Treasury’s Green Book. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-green-book- appraisal-and-evaluation-in-central-governent As described below, there are likely to be two phases of completion of this template. The first, an ‘outline business case’ stage, should see the promoter include as much information as would be appropriate for submission though SELEP to Government calls for projects where the amount awarded to the project is not yet known. If successful, the second stage of filling this template in would be informed by clarity around funding and would therefore require a fully completed business case, inclusive of the economic appraisal which is sought below.

    Topic Paper 2: Stategic Highway Network

    Southend Central Area Action Plan TOPIC PAPER 2: STATEGIC HIGHWAY NETWORK March 2017 Topic Paper 2: Strategic Highway Network This topic paper builds upon the information set out in the Southend Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) (2015)1 in explaining that the Council has been, and continues to be, successful in implementing key transport improvements and securing future funds to support the growth targets of the adopted Core Strategy (2007). Local Policy Context The IDP is a supporting document for the Southend Core Strategy and part of the Local Planning Framework for Southend. The IDP covers the remaining plan period up until 2021. The document includes details of the infrastructure identified by the Council and other service providers as being needed to support the delivery of the Core Strategy. The IDP assesses the transport infrastructure required to support the planned jobs and housing growth of the Core Strategy, which include those of the SCAAP. The assessment was informed by the SOSBC Transport Team and the Highway Agency. In compliance with the Transport Act 2000, Southend Borough Council (SBC) has prepared a Local Transport Plan Strategy (LTP3) and an Implementation Plan for the period 2011/2012 to 2026. This, together with the use of the Southend Multi-Modal Transport Model, information sourced from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund and the Better Bus Area application (in terms of levels of infrastructure investment), has informed the IDP assessment. Significant projects and the business case used to inform the development of the South East Local Enterprise (SELEP) Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) are referred to further in this section in terms of transport funding for the planned growth in employment and housing in both Southend and Rochford (predominantly in the context of the Joint Area Action Plan (JAAP) for London Southend Airport and Environs).

These two sites represent an urban extension to Basildon on its west side and a new ‘Garden Village’ settlement based on the Dunton Hills area. This document sets out the analysis undertaken and the scheme options proposed. This study is guided by the two councils’ draft local plans for future strategic development, and the project requirement to ensure that there is a visual separation between the potential new settlement areas. The work is intended to investigate the following aspects: • Whether a corridor can be provided to achieve visual separation; • Whether there are opportunities to use this landscape corridor to improve biodiversity and recreational connectivity; • Whether there are opportunities for the corridor to be traversed by local highway connections.
