Response to Ecological Impact Assessment DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 3 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan 1 Introduction GENERAL 1.1 United Living (South) Ltd has compiled this Construction and Environmental Management Plan in support of the Catalyst Housing Ltd (CHL) planning application for the development of land adjacent to Rayners Lane Station for the construction of 128 residential apartments and a replacement commuter car park. 1.2 The Local Planning Authority and Highway Authority is the London Borough of Harrow (LBH). 1.3 The proposed Site is currently occupied by a 251-space car park bounded by Rayners Lane Station and embankment to the north, High Worple to the south, Rayners Lane Station and shops to the east and encompasses SINC woodland to the west. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.4 The proposed comprises 'The proposed comprises four blocks, with one at five storeys and the others at part five part six storeys. The scheme will re-provide 75 commuter car parking spaces including 6no. Wheelchair Accessible bays. The proposed residential development is car free, with the exception of the accessible parking which is being provided in line with the London Plan. 1.5 A site location plan, proposed site development and constraints plans can be found at Appendix A. OBJECTIVES 1.6 The focus of this CEMP is to address the construction principles that will be employed at the Site and set out mitigation measures that will be utilised to manage the impact of construction on local residents, the surrounding community and the local highway network. 1.7 The CEMP has taken into consideration: • The Control of Pollution Act 1972 • The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 • The Environmental Protection Act 1990 • The Clean Air Act 1993 • The Harrow Sustainability Appraisal, 2013 • BS 5228-1:2009+A1:2014 Code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 4 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan • Mayor of London SPG “The control of dust and emissions during construction and demolition”, 2014 • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, 2015 • Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) Practical Guide, 2017 • Transport for London (TfL) Construction Logistics Plan Guidance, 2017 • The Mayors Transport Strategy, 2018 • The IP London Plan, 2019 • 2019 Construction Logistic Planning Guidance STRUCTURE OF THE CEMP 1.8 This CEMP is structured as follows: • Section 2: Baseline Conditions - Outlines the existing Site and the surrounding area’s transport and environmental characteristics; • Section 3: Development Proposals - Provides an overview of the Proposed Development, the construction scheme overview, the construction programme; and details of core working hours • Section 4: Construction Site Logistics Plan - describes equipment, layout and controls proposed for the development, including site arrangements and facilities, vehicular access routes, loading and unloading arrangements including strategic plant provision, and traffic management assessment and procedures. • Section 5: Impact Mitigation - Sets out the mitigation measures that will be employed, prior to, and during construction to minimise the impact of construction on local residents, businesses, the local highway network and existing biodiversity and ecology. 1.9 All appendices (A to E) are included at the end of this report. DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 5 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan 2 Baseline INTRODUCTION 2.1 This section provides information on the existing Site and the surrounding area, including local transport infrastructure, site conditions and surroundings. The baseline conditions establish the context of the CEMP. SITE LOCATION 2.2 Figures 2.1 shows the location of the Site (and the red line boundary)which is in Rayners Lane Station car park in the London Borough of Harrow. The Site is ‘landlocked’ with a single access and egress point off High Worple at the south-east corner of the site. The northern boundary is formed by the railway embankment, tracks and station platforms serving the Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines. The station building and a parade of shops are on the eastern flank. A Site of Interest for Nature and Conservation (SINC) is located on the western boundary within the proposed red line, with the rear gardens of residential property on High Worple marking the southern edge of the plot. Figure 2.1 Site location plan (c1:2500) DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 6 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND USE 2.3 The Site is currently in use as a 251-space public car park, serving the station. There is an extensive TfL maintenance / infrastructure protection zone along the northern boundary. There is a UKPN substation on the southern boundary, accessed via High Worple. Further investigation is required to establish whether any cables from this asset traverse the site, although early investigations suggest not. An existing 875 mm diameter Thames Water surface water which runs below the footprint of Core D is likely to require diversion. There is also a surface water connection to the Smarts Brook culvert in the adjacent SINC which is noted as needing repair or upgrade. Further survey work is required to define both elements, and It is suggested these should be secured and executed as an enabling package ahead of the main construction works. 2.4 The proposed project is for the design and construction of 128 dwellings (Class C3) in 2 blocks. The larger of the blocks is sub-divided into three conjoined zones designated Cores A, B and C (running east to west). Core D is remote from Core A, B and C; separated by the TfL lifting zone. Core A houses a new substation and each block has dedicated cycle parking and refuse stores. The proposed development is planned as car-free with residential parking limited to blue badge holders only. Upon completion, the car parking spaces will be returned to public use. A new TfL cycle hub, offering 92 public cycle spaces, is below Core A, nearest to the station, in part compensating for the net loss of car parking space. Associated works include amenity space (communal garden / play area) and hard and soft landscaping. DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 7 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan EXISTING SITE ACCESS Vehicle Access and Highway Network 2.5 There is a single access and egress point off High Worple shared with TfL. High Worple leads onto Alexandra Avenue / Imperial Drive, the A4090, which in turn connects into the strategic road network. 2.6 The local highway network, with key roads labelled, is provided in Figure 2.4. Proposed delivery routes to site beyond the local network are identified in Appendix C. Figure 2.4: Local Highway Network PUBLIC TRANSPORT 2.7 The site is very well served by public transport, achieving a PTAL score of 4. Bus 2.8 Six stops serving four routes linking to Ruislip, Northwick Park, Harrow and Stanmore are located within approximately 400m of the site. Stop locations and frequency of service are presented in Figure 2.5 (extract from WSP Transport Assessment). DRAFT CEMP Rayners Lane 8 Draft Construction Environmental Management Plan Figure 2.5: Bus stop locations and service frequency - Rayners Lane Rail 2.9 The site is within 200m of Rayners Lane Station, served by the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines. Overground connections from Harrow on the Hill Station, serving Marylebone to Gerrards Cross, connect via bus or the Metropolitan line both being within 10 minutes travel time.

The site is less well served by the cycle network, although there are dedicated local cycle lanes connecting the majority of the routes between the over-ground
