Preliminary Geoenvironmental Investigation Fall 08 Preliminary Geoenvironmental Investigation Land at New Road, Sharow For Carter Jonas LLP Report no: 2103 /1 Date: June 2015 Tel: 01937 545330 • [email protected] • www.lithos.co.uk NEW ROAD, SHAROW SUMMARY OF GEOENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Job No. 2103 Site area/ha 2.9 hectares (7.1 acres) Client: Carter Jonas LLP NGR: SE 330 718 Site: New Road, Sharow Nearest postcode: HG4 5BS The site is located approximately 1.5km east of Ripon city centre and is currently arable farmland. The site lies within an area known to be at risk of gypsum dissolution related subsidence. Therefore any development across the site must consider the consequences of gypsum related hazards. Lithos were commissioned by Carter Jonas LLP to provide a preliminary geoenvironmental appraisal of the site. It is understood that the site is to be developed with 60 residential dwellings, although a proposed layout has yet to be prepared, and it is strongly recommended that a geophysical survey is completed prior to finalising any scheme. A summary of salient geoenvironmental issues is provided in the table below. Issue Remarks Former uses None of significance. Anticipated Geology The site is likely to be underlain by about 10m of glacial drift, over Sherwood Sandstone bedrock extending to depths of about 25m, over the Roxby Formation, with the Brotherton Formation from about 45m. The shallowest beds of gypsum are likely to lie at depths in excess of 35m. Gypsum Gypsum is present at the base of the Roxby Formation (c. 10m thick at about 35m to 45m bgl), and in the Edlington Formation, up to 35m thick from about 70m bgl. This site lies within Development Control Area C (gypsum present and susceptible to dissolution), and would likely be considered a larger development. Consequently, it must be subject to robust investigation and foundation design. A known gypsum dissolution subsidence feature is located within 100m of the sites boundary. Hazardous gas No special precautions required. Mining & quarrying Beyond CA defined coal fields. No historical quarrying within 250m of site boundary. Flooding & drainage Flood zone 1. Soakaways are unlikely to provide suitable means of surface water disposal. In any case soakaways discouraged in Area C. Anticipated None anticipated. contamination Recommendations for Initially a day’s trial pitting and geophysical survey of site. ground investigation It is likely that Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) will be the most appropriate geophysical technique, but further advice should be sought from a geophysics specialist. If any significant anomalies (potential subsidence features) are identified by the geophysical investigation, it might be necessary to advance rotary cored boreholes, after first considering potential implications for the proposed development. If no significant anomalies are found, boreholes would not be recommended since they can actually have an adverse effect on the hydrogeology - potentially opening up pathways for groundwater movement. This brief summary should not be assumed to represent a complete account of all the potential geoenvironmental issues that may exist at the site. As such it is strongly recommended that the report be read in its entirety. 1 COMMISSION AND BRIEF ............................................................................................. 1 1.1 THE COMMISSION AND BRIEF .......................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ....................................................................................................................... 1 1.3 REPORT FORMAT AND LIMITATIONS.................................................................................................................. 1 2 SITE DESCRIPTION ......................................................................................................... 2 2.1 GENERAL ...................................................................................................................................................... 2 2.2 SITE FEATURES ................................................................................................................................................ 2 3 SITE HISTORY ................................................................................................................. 3 4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING ........................................................................................... 4 4.1 GENERAL ...................................................................................................................................................... 4 4.2 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY.................................................................................................................. 5 4.3 PLANNING ADVICE FOR THE RIPON AREA ........................................................................................................ 7 4.4 LAND CONTAMINATION - PART IIA & PLANNING ............................................................................................. 8 5 GROUND INVESTIGATION DESIGN ............................................................................ 10 5.1 ANTICIPATED GROUND CONDITIONS & POTENTIAL ISSUES ............................................................................... 10 5.2 PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL ........................................................................................................ 10 5.3 GROUND INVESTIGATION DESIGN & STRATEGY .............................................................................................. 11 6 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS ................................................................... 12 6.1 GENERAL .................................................................................................................................................... 12 6.2 GYPSUM DISSOLUTION ................................................................................................................................. 12 6.3 MINING AND QUARRYING ............................................................................................................................ 13 6.4 HAZARDOUS GAS ........................................................................................................................................ 13 6.5 FOUNDATIONS ............................................................................................................................................ 13 6.6 DRAINAGE AND EXTERNAL WORKS ISSUES ...................................................................................................... 13 6.7 CONTAMINATION ........................................................................................................................................ 14 6.8 FURTHER INVESTIGATION ............................................................................................................................... 14 APPENDICES Appendix A – General notes 01 Environmental setting Appendix B – Drawings Drawing Title 2103/1 Site location plan 2103/2 Proposed layout 2103/3 Site features 2103/4 Site photos 2103/5 Preliminary conceptual site model Appendix C - Commission Appendix D – Historical OS plans* Appendix E – Search responses* From Date Content Harrogate Borough Council 11/03/2015 Enquiry response from Building Control Groundsure 10/03/2015 EnviroInsight & GeoInsight reports Appendix F – Ground Stability Declaration Form * Some of this data is not included within the paper copy of this report; most is included in the PDF copy and all is included on the CD FOREWORD (preliminary geoenvironmental investigation report) This report has been prepared for the sole use and reliance of the Client named on page 1 and cannot be relied upon by any other parties without the express written authorisation of Lithos Consulting Limited (Lithos).

Terraces and channels, most of which are now relict features well above the altitude of the present river, attest to the impacts of massive meltwater discharge and deposition of sand and gravel outwash, and dynamic river regimes with rapid incision. Through field survey, we have created a detailed geomorphological map of these landforms and glacial and fluvioglacial surface deposits, as well as the terraces and palaeochannels that were abandoned by the river due to avulsion Citation: Innes, J.; Mitchell, W.; and incision-driven course changes.

As you read on you may question and you may criticize, but hopefully you will understand, they are my feelings only, please respect them. For a big part of her life my Mum had an illness disorder known as “Bi-polar or Manic depression” The illness tends to run in families and appears to have a genetic link in fact this illness is and was prevalent in the Daulton family. So now what are you thinking? Some of you will immediately say “oh gosh” I don’t want to know and put this away in the too hard file. Some of you will read on through curiosity and respect and then file it. But I sincerely hope some of you will show a genuine interest and will openly and with deep concern continue on with your learning of this illness.

  • Subsidence Hazards Caused by the Dissolution of Permian Gypsum in England: Geology, Investigation and Remediation
    SUBSIDENCE HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE DISSOLUTION OF PERMIAN GYPSUM IN ENGLAND: GEOLOGY, INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION A H Cooper, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG. This is a recompiled version of the final draft of the published paper, it is presented with coloured versions of the figures and may differ slighly from the published edited version. Please respect copyright of BGS/NERC and refer to the final published version if you wish to quote the work. Published as: Cooper, AH. 1998. Subsidence hazards caused by the dissolution of Permian gypsum in England: geology, investigation and remediation. 265–275 in: Geohazards in engineering geology, Maund, JG, Eddleston, M (eds.). Geological Society of London. Special Publications in Engineering Geology, 15. ABSTRACT About every three years natural catastrophic subsidence, caused by gypsum dissolution, occurs in the vicinity of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. Holes up to 35 m across and 20 m deep have appeared without warning. In the past 150 years, 30 major collapses have occurred, and in the last ten years the resulting damage to property is estimated at about £1,000,000. Subsidence, associated with the collapse of caves resulting from gypsum dissolution in the Permian rocks of eastern England, occurs in a belt about 3 km wide and over 100 km long. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) dissolves rapidly in flowing water and the cave systems responsible for the subsidence are constantly enlarging, causing a continuing subsidence problem. Difficult ground conditions are associated with caves, subsidence breccia pipes (collapsed areas of brecciated and foundered material), crown holes and post-subsidence fill deposits.

The 2011 study produced a number of policy recommendations on the need and extent of a tourism protection policy and the need to allocate land for hotel development in Harrogate Town. 1.2 The Council is producing a new Local Plan for the district which will set out the growth strategy for the district and include allocations of land to deliver the strategy plus policies to manage development. It is necessary therefore to review the Visitor Accommodation Study to feed into the evidence base for the new Local Plan. 1.3 Visitor and business tourism is an important part of Harrogate District’s economy. The tourism industry covers a huge variety of services, facilities and supporting industries including bars, restaurants, hotels, guest houses, leisure facilities, cultural venues, cleaning facilities and tourist attractions, most of which also act as a beneficiary to the local residents.

  • Land Comprising Field at 433113 471863, Back Lane, Sharow, North Yorkshire
    Case No. 18/04657/FULMAJ Item No. 04 Location: Land Comprising Field At 433113 471863, Back Lane, Sharow, North Yorkshire, Proposal: Residential Development of 60 Dwellings. Applicant: Rouse Homes Ltd Access to the case file on Public Access can be found here:- view file Reason for report: This application is to be presented to the Planning Committee because it is a development of over 50 dwellings. The application was deferred from the 04.06.19 committee for the following reasons: The application was deferred for reconsideration of the design/layout improvements and the completion of the Road Safety Audit. SUMMARY The proposal has been reduced from 69 originally, to 66 as reported at the last planning committee and now to 60 dwellings. The layout shows an improvement and has been amended to provide greater gaps between dwellings, the layout now is more sporadic with a scattered position of dwellings, particularly along the eastern boundary. Greater connectivity has been achieved through the road layout, additional tree planting can be realised and the design of dwellings has been amended in the form of improved architectural detail. In addition a satisfactory Road Safety Audit has been submitted, and reviewed by the Highway Authority. The submission has a number of significant benefits deriving from it: it is promoting sustainable development through the development of a sustainably located site directly adjoining an existing settlement; the proposal will provide a range of homes to meet the needs of the local community; the development
