Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
Summary
Item Description Client Taylor Wimpey UK Limited Site Location Name : Glenmore Farm, Westbury Grid reference : ST 863 528 Site Area: The Site consists of pastoral fields and structures for dwellings, storage or equestrian stables. Objective and This report presents information on ground conditions as required to support Purpose an outline planning application to develop the subject site for residential use. The objective of this report is to identify the likely ground conditions and to assess whether there are potential risks associated with the ground conditions that might require management/mitigation as part of development proposals. Scope of Work This report presents the findings of a Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) comprising a desk study (review of publicly available data), walkover inspection and Tier 1 preliminary qualitative risk assessment. Land Use History On-site current - Equestrian stables, paddocks, open fields and hardstanding for caravan storage. On-site historic - Farm land, farm houses and associated structures. Off-site current - commercial, light industrial, residential, and farmland. Off-site historic – surface mining, industrial, commercial, residential and farmland. Geoenvironmental Topography – The ground slopes upwards from the north west boundary to Setting the centre of the site. From the centre of the site to the south east boundary the ground plateaus although this is partly interrupted by a depression. Geology – The site is underlain by the Oxford Clay Formation (mudstone) in the north-western areas, the Todber Freestone Member (limestone) in the south-eastern areas and the Hazelbury Bryan Formation (mudstone, sandstone or sand) in the southern corner. Hydrogeology – The Oxford Clay Formation is classed as an Unproductive strata whereas the Todber Freestone Member and the Hazelbury Bryan Formation are classified as Secondary A aquifers. Hydrology – There are four surface water features within 250 m of The Site the closest of which is 87 m south east. Groundwater – The site is not located within a Source Protection Zone (SPZ). Hazard Based on the known on-site land use the potential for significant Identification contamination to be present is considered to be Very Low to Low. Based on the known surrounding land uses (commercial) the potential for widespread contamination to be present in the immediate vicinity of the site is considered to be Low. Hazard Potential pollutant linkages have been identified using the information on Assessment potential sources (contaminant types), receptors and exposure pathways. Possible pollutant linkages have been identified for Human Health, Controlled Water and Building/Services. Risk Estimation Based on the information available, the estimated risks have been designated as follows:- Human Health for on-site current, on-site future, off-site and construction workers or users the risk is Moderate / Low to Very Low. Controlled Waters – Moderate / Low to Very Low.

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
Item Description Ecological Systems – Very Low. Buildings / Services and Property – Very Low. Where a Very Low risk has been estimated, there is low possibility that harm could arise to a designated receptor. Harm, if realised, would not likely be severe. Where a Low risk is identified it is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard, but it is unlikely that this harm, if realised, would at worst be mild. Where a Moderate / Low risk has been identified it is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. However, it is either relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, or if any harm were to occur it is more likely that the harm would be relatively mild. Recommendation Given the level of risk and the proposed end use it is anticipated that a s geoenvironmental ground investigation is not required to support the outline planning application for development of the site. However the substrata on the south eastern section where a depression is present may possess different engineering characteristics compared to the rest of the site. It is therefore recommended to conduct a ground investigation at this location so an informed decision can be made regarding foundation requirements. This summary forms part of a Phase 1 Ground Condition (Contamination) report prepared by PBA and contains an overview of the key findings and conclusions. The summary should not be treated as an independent document.

1 Introduction
1.1 Brief
1.1.1 Peter Brett Associates LLP (PBA) has been instructed by Taylor Wimpey UK Limited (the Client) to undertake a Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) to support a planning application for residential development at the site known as Glenmore Farm, Westbury. A Site Location Plan is presented as Figure 1.
1.2 Objective
1.2.1 The objective of the study is to review readily available information from PBA and public databases to assess the likely ground conditions at the site, and immediate surrounding land, to identify any potential geoenvironmental hazards and constraints to the proposed residential development of the site.
1.2.2 This report is expected to be used in support of an outline planning application. As such reference is made to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG).
1.3 Scope of Works
1.3.1 The principal components of this assessment are generally as described in Section 6.2 of BS 10175 (2001) and CLR 11 Model Procedures for the Management of Contaminated Land (EA, 2004). CLR 11 sets out a risk management process based on a tiered risk assessment with an increasing level of detail required to progress through the tiers.
1.3.2 In order to identify the current conditions and land use on the site and in the surrounding area, readily available information in the public domain has been obtained and reviewed, and a site reconnaissance walkover has been carried out. This report presents a review of the acquired information, together with the development of a Preliminary Conceptual Site Model (CSM) and the associated Tier 1 risk assessment. The specification for Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment is presented in Appendix A.

2 The Site
2.1 Site Location
2.1.1 The Site is centred at approximate National Grid Reference ST 863 528 approximately 1.75km north-west of the centre of Westbury. The location of the site is shown on a Site Location Plan presented as Figure 1.
2.1.2 Topographically, the site is situated in an area of relatively undulating terrain with open fields to the north and east, a railway line followed by the town of Westbury to the south east, and industrial and residential developments to the south west and west of the site. The site itself slopes upwards from the north west boundary to the centre of the site. From the centre of the site to the south east boundary the ground plateaus although this is partly interrupted by a depression.
2.1.3 The site is approximately rectangular in shape and covers an area of approximately 9.8 hectares. The site is bordered to the north and east by roads, residential housing to the south, open fields to the south west and industrial units to the north west.
2.2 Proposed Development
2.2.1 The proposed development for the site is at early concept stage and as such the layout is not yet known. However, it is understood that the site will be utilised for a residential development of up to 145 dwellings with associated roads, infrastructure and public open space.
2.3 Site History
2.3.1 The history of the development of the site and surrounding area has been obtained from a number of readily available Ordnance Survey (OS) maps.

2.4 Current Site Use
2.4.1 A site visit was carried out on 17 March 2014 by an engineer from PBA to undertake a walkover to observe current site conditions. The layout of the site, salient notes from the walkover and the location and direction of site photographs are presented as Figure 2. Photographs from the walkover are presented as Figure 3.
2.4.2 The site slopes upwards from the north west boundary to the centre of the site where the stables and other structures are present. From the centre of the site to the south east boundary the ground plateaus, however this is partly interrupted by an acute depression with a north east to south west orientation. The PBA engineer was informed by current land owner that this depression can pool water during heavy rainfall but dissipates within a matter of hours once precipitation has ceased. This depression is suspected of being attributed to either the fault that crosses the site or due to the interface of two outcropping bedrocks (Todber Freestone Member and Hazelbury Bryan Formation) with differing material characteristics (see section 3.1 below).

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
2.4.3 The site is currently used as a residence, equestrian stable and for the storage of recreational caravans. Onsite there are numerous single storey structures that are utilised as paddocks, stables or for the storage of associated equipment. In addition there is a two storey structure with various annexes and out buildings serving as a dwelling. Harding standing is also present surrounding the structures on site. The remainder of the site is open fields and are used for equestrian grazing and accounts for approximately 80 % of the site’s footprint.
2.4.4 The non-residential structures on site are constructed of concrete blocks and corrugated steel sheeting whereas the residential buildings are of brick. None of these structures had evidence of structural fatigue. Hard standing was observed to be either concrete or aggregate and was in a fair condition with no evidence of staining.
2.4.5 Numerous equipment used to support activities undertaken on site were observed, however none of these were deemed to be pertinent sources of contamination. No evidence of fuel or fertiliser storage was observed during the site visit.
2.4.6 Surrounding the site there is a mixture of residential dwellings, farmland, open fields and industrial units. An industrial unit adjacent to the site was observed to be a vehicle repair garage and appeared to maintain good housekeeping.
2.5 Environmental and Industrial Setting
2.5.1 Information on the environmental and industrial setting of the site is presented in a GroundSure EnviroInsight report prepared by EmapsiteTM (EMAP, 2014) and reproduced in Appendix C.
2.5.2 The results of the database search are summarised on the following table and discussed in the following sections.

Note: 1) Numbers in brackets denotes number of authorisations, licences or permits that are lapsed, revoked, cancelled, superseded, defunct, surrendered, not applicable, withdrawn or not yet started. 2) Includes Integrated Pollution Controls, Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, Local Authority Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control and Local Authority Pollution Prevention and Control permits. 3) COMAH denotes Control of Major Accident Hazards 4) NIHHS denotes Notification of Installations Handling Hazardous Substances
2.5.3 Statutory Permits/Authorisations/Potential Contaminative Uses: There are a total of twenty two contemporary trade entries within 250 m of the site. The most pertinent of these entries are rubber, silicone and plastic manufacturing, industrial coatings and finishings and vehicle repair, testing and servicing 68 m, 80 m and 90 m north west of the site respectively. The three pollution incidents noted were for discharges of diesel, metal wastes or vehicle parts and were all classed as having a minor impact upon the land. The closest of these incidents was 200 m south east of the site for a discharge of diesel. No sites within 500 m of the site are identified as contaminated land.
2.5.4 Given the distance from the site, the pollution incident involving diesel is not considered to present a risk. The trade entries of rubber, silicone and plastic manufacturing, industrial coatings and finishings, and the vehicle repair operations may pose a risk given their proximity to the site.
2.5.5 Environmentally Sensitive Sites: The closest environmentally sensitive site is an ancient woodland 956 m north east of The Site listed. As such it is deemed that the site is not within close proximity of an environmentally sensitive site.
2.5.6 Within the Groundsure report the site is stated as being not located within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) or Nitrate Sensitive Area (NSA).
2.5.7 Auxiliary Information: Through a search of historic work undertaken by PBA a contamination survey report for the West Wiltshire Trading Estate, 260 m west of the site was made available. This report from a ground investigation and subsequent chemical analysis of soils, groundwater and surface waters conducted in 1994 identified contamination of arsenic, zinc, hydrocarbons, BTEX and chlorinated solvents. These contaminants were predominantly encountered at boreholes on the western section of the West Wiltshire Trading Estate approximately 800 m west of the site. However, low levels of arsenic were recorded at one location on the eastern section of the West Wiltshire Trading Estate approximately 220 m from the site. Given the distance of the identified contamination and that the site is up gradient of the West Wiltshire Trading Estate this contamination is not deemed as being a risk to the site.

3 Geology, Hydrogeology and Hydrology
3.1 Geology
Superficial Deposits
3.1.1 The 1:50 000 scale geological map of the area (BGS, 1985) and the Groundsure report indicate that there are no superficial deposits on site. An extract of the geological map is included in the GeoInsight Report (EMAP, 2014) presented in Appendix C.
Solid Geology
3.1.2 The geological map (BGS 1995) and Groundsure report indicate that the majority of the site is underlain by the Oxford Clay Formation. However, the south east quarter is underlain by the Todber Freestone Member with a small section on the southern corner underlain by the Hazelbury Bryan Formation. From the succession depicted on the geological map it is interpreted that that the Oxford Clay underlies both the Todber Freestone Member and the Hazelbury Bryan Formation.
3.1.3 The Oxford Clay Formation is described by the British Geological Survey (BGS Website, 2014) as grey, generally smooth to slightly silty with sporadic limestone nodules, mudstone. The Todber Freestone Member is described (BGS Website, 2014) as fine to medium grained, well sorted, commonly cross bedded limestone. The Hazelbury Bryan Formation is described (BGS Website, 2014) as a grey to brown, sandy mudstone, muddy sandstone or very fine to medium grained sand.
Geological Structures
3.1.4 A fault with a north east to south west orientation is depicted on geological maps crossing the south east section of the site. The fault is identified as the Heywood fault and downthrows to the south east. There are no other faults depicted within 500 m of the site.
Borehole Records
3.1.5 There are no historical borehole records available from the British Geological website for the site. Approximately 1 km the north east a ground investigation was conducted by Wiltshire County Council in support of the construction of a new road bridge. Two boreholes were sunk up to 8.5 m bgl. A summary of the ground conditions encountered by these boreholes are detailed below.

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
3.2 Geological Hazards
Natural and Mining Cavities
3.2.1 The Groundsure report states that no mining, extraction or natural cavities are identified within a 1 km radius of the site.
3.2.2 A search of the PBA Natural Cavities Database indicated that there are no natural cavity locations recorded within 2km of the site centre. The nearest recorded natural cavity is located 8.7km to the north-west
3.2.3 Also a search of the PBA Non-Coal Mining Cavities Database indicated that there are no recorded non-coal mining related cavities within 2km of the site centre. The nearest recorded non-coal mining related cavity is located 8km to the north north-west.
3.2.4 However, it is noted within the Groundsure report and from an internet search (Wiltshire Council Website) that surface mining for ironstone and limestone has occurred to the east, south east and south of the Site as close as 250 m to the site boundary. These surface mining locations are interpreted to be the quarries identified in Table 2.1.
3.2.5 The absence of records does not, in itself, demonstrate that natural or mining cavities are not present on the Site, and it should be noted that surface mining for ironstone and limestone has been conducted near the site. However, it is anticipated that the potential for subterranean mining cavities is very low.
Radon
3.2.6 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and emanates from certain geological formations to varying degrees, depending on the type, porosity and permeability. The radon guidance notes (BRE, 2007) presents a series of maps that determine the level of protection that new dwellings are required to have for protection from radon.
3.2.7 The guidance notes (BRE, 2007) indicate that the site is situated in an area where radon protection measures are not required for new dwellings.
Adverse Foundation Conditions
3.2.8 An assessment of potential geological hazards that may give rise to instability or adverse foundation or construction conditions as supplied by the British Geological Survey (BGS) from their National Geoscience Information Service (NGIS) is presented in the EnviroInsight Report reproduced in Appendix C. The assessment is generated automatically based on digital geological maps and the scope and the accuracy is limited by the methods used to create the dataset and is therefore only indicative for the search area.
3.2.9 The information contained in the EnviroInsight Report has been reviewed and where considered necessary reassessed considering the specific information available for the site. The modified assessment of the potential for geological hazards to be present on the site is summarised in table below.

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
BGS Hazard Hazard PBA Opinion/Comment Potential PBA concurs with this designation. The Moderate designation is related to the weathered Oxford Clays Potential for present across the north-western parts of the site, which Shrinking or can be subject to shrinkage/swelling on changes in soil Negligible to Swelling Clay moisture content. The Negligible designation relates to the Moderate Ground Stability limestone, sandstone and sandy mudstones of the Todber Hazards Freestone Member and the Hazelbury Bryan Formation present across the south-eastern parts of the site. Potential for Landslide Ground Very Low PBA concurs with this designation. Stability Hazards This designation is based upon the presence of Potential for soluble rock. On the Groundsure map the Todber Ground Null – Freestone Member limestone is identified on the Dissolution Negligible south east section of the site and will possess some Stability Hazards soluble characteristics. As such PBA suggest that this designation should be Low Potential Compressible Negligible PBA concurs with this designation. Ground Stability Hazards Potential for Collapsible Very Low PBA concurs with this designation. Hazards Potential for Negligible PBA concurs with this designation. Running sand Table 3.2: Summary of Geological Hazards (Emap, 2014)
3.3 Hydrogeology
3.3.1 The Groundsure report states that the bedrock onsite is classed as an unproductive strata in the northern parts of the site and a Secondary A aquifer in the southern parts of the site. These designations are interpreted to be the Oxford Clay Formation and the Todber Freestone Member respectively. Unproductive strata are described by the Environment Agency as formations of rock layers or drift deposits with low permeability’s that have negligible significance for water supply or river base flow. Secondary A aquifers are described by the Environment Agency as permeable layers capable of supporting water supplies at a local rather that strategic scale and in some cases forming an important source of base flow to rivers.
3.3.2 The Groundsure report indicates that the permeability of the site’s bedrock is either Very Low to Low or High. The high permeability is interpreted to relate to the Hazelbury Bryan Formation and the Todber Freestone Member whereas the Very Low to Low relates to the Oxford Clay Formation. It should be noted that these are indicative permeability’s and do not relate to any quantified permeability.
3.3.3 The latest indicative maps included in the EnviroInsight Report (EMAP, 2014) indicate that the site is not located in a Groundwater Source Protection Zone. Groundwater source protection zones are defined as the groundwater catchment zones for significant public water supply and private wells or boreholes that supply water to potable or equivalent standards.

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
3.3.4 Given the characteristically low permeability of the Oxford Clay Formation, the use of infiltration drainage would not be feasible across the northern section of the site. However, where the Todber Freestone Member limestone and the variable deposits of the Hazelbury Bryan Formation outcrop in south eastern and southern parts of the site, permeability will be higher and there may be potential to utilise infiltration drainage in these areas. This potential would require assessment by ground investigation in order to demonstrate ground permeability prior to adoption of infiltration within any drainage strategy. If found to be favourable, then infiltration drainage infrastructure should consider the potentially soluble characteristics of the limestone bedrock and should therefore be located at a suitable distance away from any structures.
3.4 Hydrology
3.4.1 The Groundsure identifies four surface waters features within 250 m of the site, the closest of which is 87 m south east
3.4.2 The Groundsure report also lists numerous entries for River Networks north east of the site ranging in distance from 380 m to 460 m. These entries are for rivers or culverts that appear to feed into Bitham Brook.
3.4.3 The site is not identified as being on or within 250 m of an Environment Agency identified flood plain.
3.5 Groundwater and Surface Water Controls

4 Tier 1 Preliminary Risk Assessment
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 The methodology and criteria used to assess risk adopted by PBA as used within this document is defined within Appendix D. This methodology is in general accordance with relevant technical guidance as presented in the Contaminated Land Reports CLR 11 (EA, 2004).
4.1.2 The risk assessment includes the development of a Conceptual Site Model (CSM) that describes the types of potential contamination sources. The identification of potential receptors and potential pathways has also been undertaken. For a pollutant linkage to be identified all three elements (i.e. a source, pathway and receptor) must be present.
4.2 Hazard Identification
Previous and Current Site Use
4.2.1 From the historical maps the site has undergone minimal development with a few structures depicted on the eastern section of the site. It is assumed that these structures, together with the wider site area, have been utilised for agricultural purposes.
4.2.2 Usage surrounding the site appears to have been a mixture of agricultural and industrial with more recent commercial and residential developments. Notable historical developments or activities surrounding the site are the Westbury Iron Works to the south, railway tracks to the north and east, and the West Wiltshire Trading Estate and Depot to the west.
4.2.3 Based on this known history of the site, the surrounding land and the walkover undertaken as part of this study, the overall potential for widespread significant contamination to be present at the site is considered to be Very Low for the open fields and Low for the eastern section of the site due to the storage of vehicles and potential storage of herbicides and pesticides.
4.2.4 Based on the known surrounding land uses, notably the proximity of the dismantled railway and West Wiltshire Trading Estate to the site, potential for wide spread contamination to be present in the immediate vicinity of the site is considered to be Low.
Summary of Potential Sources of Contamination (PSC)
4.2.5 Potential Sources of Contamination (PSC) identified on the site or within the vicinity of The Site are described on the following table:
PSC Description Agricultural and Potential for low level residual concentrations of contaminants 1 Vehicle use (on typically hydrocarbons from usage of agricultural plant and site) storage of vehicles onsite and herbicides and pesticides Backfilled Pond Pond historically depicted on site potentially back filled with fill 2 (on site) of variable composition. Hence risk of asbestos, hydrocarbons and metals. Railway Tracks Potential for arsenic, asbestos, hydrocarbons, metals and 2 (40 m north of site) PCBs. West Wiltshire Trading Estate and Potential for asbestos, BTEXs, hydrocarbons, metals, PAHs, 3 Depot phenols and VOCs. (40 m west of site) Table 4.1: Potential Sources of Contamination (PSC)

4.3 Hazard Assessment
Potential Receptors
4.3.1 It is understood that it is intended to develop the site for residential use. It is not known yet whether this will include gardens however to maintain a conservative approach it is assumed that gardens and landscaping will be present. Details of the potential receptors considered and whether or not the receptor is plausible are presented in the following table:
Potential Receptor Type Comment Receptor? (Y/N) Human End User Current = Site Operator Y End User Future = Residential with gardens Y Off Site = Residential, Construction Workers Y Surface Waters Surface waters south east of The Site Y Groundwater The site is underlain by an Unproductive and Y Secondary A aquifers. Buildings / Materials Structures are proposed as part of the development. Y Property - including Current = Livestock and buildings Y crops, livestock, Future = Residential buildings. Y buildings etc. Ecological Systems None identified N Table 4.2: Potential Receptors
Potential Pathways
4.3.2 Potential environmental hazards need a pathway connecting the source (if present) to potential receptors in order to be able to impact upon the receptors. These pathways are capable of conveying the contaminants. Pathways may be anthropogenic (artificial) or natural.
4.3.3 Anthropogenic pathways are artificial routes capable of conveying contaminants and include such routes as surface water drains, high permeability backfill materials, poorly consolidated Made Ground, foundations and persons disturbing contamination sources in such a way as to liberate contaminants.
4.3.4 In the case of persons working with contaminated ground (e.g. to lay foundations or install services) direct contact with the source becomes possible, and pathways such as dermal contact, inhalation or ingestion require consideration.
4.3.5 The site is shown to be underlain by the Oxford Clay Formation in the northern areas, Todber Freestone Formation in the south-eastern areas and the Hazelbury Bryan Formation at the south east corner. Downward and lateral migration of contaminants through the Oxford Clay is likely to be limited whereas the Hazelbury Bryan and Todber Freestone formations are likely to exhibit permeability’s that deem contamination migration likely. In addition the Heywood Fault that crosses the site is likely to enhance contamination migration through the underlying strata in this area.
4.4 Risk Estimation
4.4.1 When there is a pollutant linkage (and therefore some measure of risk) it is necessary to determine whether the risk matters and therefore whether further action is required. PBA provide an estimation of the level of risk but do not comment on whether or not it is an unacceptable risk, because the significance or acceptability of a risk depends on the individual

stakeholder. Risk estimation involves predicting the likely consequence (what degree of harm might result) and the probability that the consequences will arise (how likely the outcome is).
4.4.2 The tables included in Appendix E of the report present assessments of consequence and probability for each potential pollutant linkage identified. Table A1 presents assessments associated with the undeveloped areas of the site i.e. open fields where the hazard classification is Very Low (score ‘1’) and Table A2 presents assessments associated with the developed area i.e. buildings and hard standing where the hazard classification is Low (score “2”).
4.4.3 Based on the information available, there are a limited number of plausible pollutant linkages. The risks associated with the site-wide ground conditions have been estimated as follows:
4.4.4 Table A1: Undeveloped Area of Site
Human Health (On-site Current) – Very Low
Human Health (On-site Future) – Very Low
Human Health (Off site) – Very Low
Human Health (On-site construction) – Very Low
Groundwater – Low
Surface Water – Very Low
Buildings – Very Low
Ecological Systems – Very Low
Property – Very Low
4.4.5 Table A2: Developed Area of Site
Human Health (On-site Current) – Moderate / Low
Human Health (On-site Future) – Moderate / Low
Human Health (Off site) – Low
Human Health (On-site construction) – Low
Groundwater – Moderate / Low
Surface Water – Very Low
Buildings – Very Low
Ecological Systems – Very Low
Property – Very Low
4.4.6 Possible pollutant linkages are determined using professional judgement. If a linkage is considered possible, it is considered that this represents a potentially ‘unacceptable risk’ and therefore requires further consideration. This may be through remediation or mitigation or through further tiers of investigation and assessment.

Phase 1 Ground Condition Assessment (Contamination) Glenmore Farm, Westbury
4.4.7 Possible pollutant linkages have been identified for human health, buildings and controlled waters. For the site’s developed area the risks to human health have been determined to be Moderate / Low to Low, for groundwater Moderate / Low and for surface water, buildings and property Very Low.
4.4.8 For the site’s undeveloped area the risks to human health have been identified as Very Low, for groundwater Low and for surface water, buildings and property Very Low.
4.5 Conclusions and Risk Evaluation
4.5.1 The results of this Ground Condition Assessment consider that as a whole the site is considered to have Low to Very Low potential for ground contamination to be present and presents a resultant Moderate / Low to Very Low geoenvironmental risk.
4.5.2 Where a Moderate / Low risk has been identified it is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. However, it is either relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, or if any harm were to occur it is more likely that the harm would be relatively mild. Where a Very Low risk has been estimated, there is low possibility that harm could arise to a designated receptor. Harm, if realised, would not likely be severe. Where a Low risk has been determined 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 normally be mild.
4.5.3 Given the level of risk and the proposed end use it is anticipated that a geoenvironmental ground investigation is not required to support the outline planning application for development of the site. Any requirement to carry out a Phase 2 geoenvironmental intrusive investigation can be satisfactorily dealt with by incorporation of a suitable Condition in any granted Outline Planning Consent.
4.5.4 This risk assessment and Conceptual Site Model should be reviewed and updated following any Phase 2 intrusive investigation.
4.6 Recommendations
4.6.1 Based on the outcomes of this report a geoenvironmental ground investigation is not required. However, it is suggested that any future assessment of the site’s suitability for development should take into consideration the depression on the south east section of the site. This depression is suspected of being attributed to either the fault that crosses the site or due to the interface of two outcropping bedrocks with differing material characteristics. Hence, the substrata at this location may possess different engineering characteristics compared to the rest of the site and it is therefore recommended to conduct a ground investigation at this location so an informed decision can be made regarding foundation requirements.

This search is conducted using radii up to 1500m. 3. Current Land Uses Provides information on current land uses that may pose a risk to the study site in terms of potential contamination from activities or processes. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 500m. This includes information on po- tentially contaminative industrial sites, petrol stations and fuel sites as well as high pressure underground oil and gas pipelines. 4. Geology Provides information on artificial and superficial deposits and bedrock beneath the study site. 5. Hydrogeology and Hydrology Provides information on productive strata within the bedrock and superficial geological layers, abstraction licenses, Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and river quality. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m. 6. Flooding Provides information on surface water flooding, flood defences, flood storage areas and groundwater flood areas. This search is conducted using radii of up to 250m. 7. 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 Outstand- ing 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 conducted using radii of up to 2000m. 8. Natural Hazards Provides information on a range of natural hazards that may pose a risk to the study site. These factors include natural ground subsidence. 9. Mining Provides information on areas of coal and shallow mining. 10. 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 fol- lowing format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proximity that the num - bers 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. 1. Environmental Permits, Incidents and Registers Map

6.6.1 Are there any British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site?
Yes
Does this relate to Clearwater Flooding or Superficial Deposits Flooding? Clearwater Flooding
Notes: Groundwater flooding may either be associated with shallow unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers which overlie unproductive aquifers (Superficial Deposits Flooding), or with unconfined aquifers (Clearwater Flooding).
6.6.2 What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions?
Very Low
6.7 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas
What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? High
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.

PBA Methodology for Assessment of Potentially Contaminated Land
1 Introduction For the purposes of Part 2A, land is contaminated if it This document defines the approach adopted by PBA poses a significant possibility of significant harm in relation to the assessment of potentially (SPOSH). contaminated land in England. The aim is for the approach to (i) be systematic and objective, (ii) provide Part 2A provides a means of dealing with unacceptable for the assessment of uncertainty and (iii) provide a risks posed by land contamination to human health and rational, consistent, transparent framework. the environment, and under the guidance enforcing authorities should seek to find and deal with such land. When preparing our methodology we have made It states that “under Part 2A the starting point should be reference to various technical guidance documents and that land is not contaminated land unless there is legislation referenced in Section 7 of which the reason to consider otherwise. Only land where principal documents are Contaminated Land Statutory unacceptable risks are clearly identified, after a risk Guidance (Defra 2012) the Model Procedures for the assessment has been undertaken in accordance with Management of Contamination (CLR 11) (EA 2004) the Guidance, should be considered as meeting the Contaminated land risk assessment: A guide to good Part 2A definition of contaminated land”. Further the practice (C552) (CIRIA 2001) and the National guidance makes it clear that “regulatory decisions Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012). should be based on what is reasonably likely, not what is hypothetically possible”.
2 Dealing with Land Contamination The overarching objectives of the Government’s policy UK legislation aims to help address the problem of on contaminated land and the Part 2A regime are: historic contamination of land and the risks it can pose to people’s health, controlled water and the “(a) To identify and remove unacceptable risks to environment by determining if a contaminant linkage human health and the environment. exists.

Other legislative regimes may also authority may need to decide whether and how to act in provide a means of dealing with land contamination situations where decisions are not straightforward, and issues, such as the regimes for waste, water, where there is uncertainty. “In so doing, the authority environmental permitting, and environmental damage. should use its judgement to strike a reasonable Further, the law of statutory nuisance may result in balance between: (a) dealing with risks raised by contaminants being unacceptable to third parties whilst contaminants in land and the benefits of remediating not attracting action under Part 2A or other land to remove or reduce those risks; and (b) the environmental legislation. potential impacts of regulatory intervention including financial costs to whoever will pay for remediation, 2.1 Part 2A health and environmental impacts of taking action, The Environment Act 1995 introduced Part 2A into the property blight, and burdens on affected people”.

Revised Statutory Guidance was issued April 2012. The guidance recognises that “normal levels of (Defra 2012) to clarify how the regime should operate. contaminants in soils should not be considered to The guidance states that enforcing authorities should cause land to qualify as contaminated land, unless seek to use Part 2A only where no appropriate there is a particular reason to consider otherwise”. alternative solution exists. Normal levels are quoted as: Part 2A defines contaminated land as “land which “a) natural presence of contaminants’ such as appears to the Local Authority in whose area it is from underlying geology ‘that have not been situated to be in such a condition that, by reason of shown to pose an unacceptable risk to health substances in, on or under the land that significant and the environment harm is being caused, or there is a significant b) …low level diffuse pollution, and common possibility that such harm could be caused, or pollution human activity…” of controlled waters is being, or likely to be, caused”. Similarly the guidance states that significant pollution of Harm is defined as “harm to the health of living controlled waters is required for land to be considered organisms or other interference with the ecological contaminated and the “fact that substances are merely systems of which they form part, and in the case of entering water” or “where discharge from land is not man, includes harm to his property”. discernible at a location immediately downstream” does not constitute contaminated land.

Table 4: Classification of Probability Classification Definition High likelihood There is a pollution linkage and an event either appears very likely in the short-term and almost inevitable over the long-term, or there is already evidence at the receptor of harm / pollution. Likely There is a pollution linkage and all the elements are present and in the right place, which means that it is probable that an event will occur. Circumstances are such that an event is not inevitable, but possible in the short-term and likely over the long-term. Low likelihood There is a pollution linkage and circumstances are possible under which an event could occur. However, it is by no means certain that even over a longer period such event would take place, and is less likely in the shorter-term. Unlikely There is a pollution linkage but circumstances are such that it is improbable that an event would occur even in the very long-term.

Table 7: Description of Risks and Likely Action Required Risk Classification Description 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 to a designated receptor is currently happening. This risk, if realised, is likely to result in a substantial liability. Urgent investigation (if not undertaken already) and remediation is likely to be required in the short term. High risk Harm is likely to arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. Realisation of the risk is likely to present a substantial liability. Urgent investigation (if not undertaken already) is required and remedial works may be necessary in the short-term and are likely over the longer-term. Moderate risk It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. However, it is either relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, or if any harm were to occur it is more likely that the harm would be relatively mild. Investigation (if not already undertaken) is normally required to clarify the risk and to determine the potential liability. Some remedial works may be required in the longer-term. 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 normally be mild. 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.
