6.7 Source Protection Zones within Confined Aquifer

Source Protection Zones within the Confined Aquifer within 500m of the study site None identified

Historically, Source Protection Zone maps have been focused on regulation of activities which occur at or near the ground surface, such as prevention of point source pollution and bacterial contamination of water supplies. Sources in confined aquifers were often considered to be protected from these surface pressures due to the presence of a low permeability confining layer (e.g. glacial till, clay). The increased interest in subsurface activities such as onshore oil and gas exploration, ground source heating and cooling requires protection zones for confined sources to be marked on SPZ maps where this has not already been done.

6.10 Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network

Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network entries within 500m of the study site

This watercourse information is provided by Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network. The data provides a detailed centre line following the curve of the waterway precisely, so all distances provided in the report should be understood as measurements to the centreline rather than a measurement to the nearest point of the watercourse. Underground watercourses are inferred from entry and exit points so caution is advised in using these to indicate precise locations of underground watercourses when planning site investigation and development.

The following Ordnance Survey MasterMap Water Network records are represented on the Hydrology Map (6e):

Database searched and no data found.

7.3 Risk of Flooding from Rivers and the Sea (RoFRaS) Flood Rating

Highest risk of flooding onsite Very Low

The Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales RoFRaS database provides an indication of river and coastal flood risk at a national level on a 50m grid with the flood rating at the centre of the grid calculated and given above. The data considers the probability that the flood defences will overtop or breach by considering their location, type, condition and standard of protection.

RoFRaS data for the study site indicates the property is in an area with a Very Low (less than 1 in 1000) chance of flooding in any given year.

7.4 Flood Defences

7.7 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

7.7.1 British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site Identified 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).

7.7.2 Highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions

Limited potential Where limited potential for groundwater flooding to occur is indicated, this means that although given the geological conditions there may be a groundwater flooding hazard, unless other relevant information, e.g. records of previous flooding, suggests groundwater flooding has occurred before in this area, you need take no further action in relation to groundwater flooding hazard.

7.8 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

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.

9.1 Detailed BGS GeoSure Data

BGS GeoSure Data has been searched to 50m. The data is included in tabular format. If you require further information on geology and ground stability, please obtain a Groundsure Geo Insight, available from our website. The following information has been found:

9.1.1 Shrink Swell

Maximum Shrink-Swell** hazard rating identified on the study site Negligible

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Ground conditions predominantly non-plastic. No special actions required to avoid problems due to shrink-swell clays. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely likely due to potential problems with shrink-swell clays.

9.1.2 Landslides

Maximum Landslide* hazard rating identified on the study site Very Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Slope instability problems are unlikely to be present. No special actions required to avoid problems due to landslides. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with landslides.

9.1.3 Soluble Rocks

Maximum Soluble Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site Very Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Significant soluble rocks are present. Problems unlikely except with considerable surface or subsurface water flow. No special actions required to avoid problems due to soluble rocks. No special ground investigation required or increased construction costs are likely. An increase in financial risk due to potential problems with soluble rocks is unlikely.

* This indicates an automatically generated 50m buffer and site.

Report Reference: GS-5476312 Client Reference: 3350-vf-18-09-25 55 9.1.4 Compressible Ground

Maximum Compressible Ground* hazard rating identified on the study site Negligible

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard No indicators for compressible deposits identified. No special actions required to avoid problems due to compressible deposits. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with compressible deposits.

9.1.5 Collapsible Rocks

Maximum Collapsible Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site Very Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Deposits with potential to collapse when loaded and saturated are unlikely to be present. No special ground investigation required or increased construction costs or increased financial risk due to potential problems with collapsible deposits.

9.1.6 Running Sand

Maximum Running Sand** hazard rating identified on the study site Low

The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:

Hazard Possibility of running sand problems after major changes in ground conditions. Normal maintenance to avoid leakage of water-bearing services or water bodies (ponds, swimming pools) should reduce likelihood of problems due to running sand. For new build consider possibility of running sand into trenches or excavations if water table is high or sandy strata are exposed to water. Avoid concentrated water inputs to site. Unlikely to be an increase in construction costs due to potential for running sand. For existing property no significant increase in insurance risk due to running sand problems is likely.

* This indicates an automatically generated 50m buffer and site.

Report Reference: GS-5476312 Client Reference: 3350-vf-18-09-25 56 9.2 Radon

9.2.1 Radon Affected Areas

Is the property in a Radon Affected Area as defined by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and if so what percentage of homes are above the Action Level? The site is not in a Radon Affected Area, as less than 1% of properties are above the Action Level.

The radon data in this report is supplied by the BGS/Public Health England and is the definitive map of Radon Affected Areas in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The dataset was created using long-term radon measurements in over 479,000 homes across Great Britain and 23,000 homes across Northern Ireland, combined with geological data. The dataset is considered accurate to 50m to allow for the margin of error in geological lines, and the findings of this report supercede any answer given in the less accurate Indicative Atlas of Radon in Great Britain, which simplifies the data to give the highest risk within any given 1km grid square. As such, the radon atlas is considered indicative, whereas the data given in this report is considered definitive.

9.2.2 Radon Protection

Is the property in an area where Radon Protection are required for new properties or extensions to existing ones as described in publication BR211 by the Building Research Establishment? No radon protective measures are necessary.

10.1 Coal Mining

Coal mining areas within 75m of the study site None identified

Database searched and no data found.

10.2 Non-Coal Mining

Non-Coal Mining areas within 50m of the study site boundary Identified

The following non-coal mining information is provided by the BGS:

Distance Direction Name Commodity Assessment of likelihood (m) 0.0 On Site Not available Chalk Sporadic underground mining of restricted extent may have occurred. Potential for difficult ground conditions are unlikely and localised and are at a level where they need not be considered

Past underground mine workings are uncommon, localised and of limited area. The rock types present in this area are such that minor mineral veins may be present within them on which it is possible that there have been attempts to work these by underground methods and/or it is possible that small scale underground extraction of other materials may have occurred. All such occurrences are likely to be restricted in size and infrequent. It should be noted, however, that there is always the possibility of the existence of other sub-surface excavations, such as wells, cess pits, follies, air raid shelters/bunkers and other military structures etc. that could affect surface ground stability but which are outside the scope of this dataset. However, if in a coalfield area you should still consider a Coal Authority mining search for the area of interest.

10.3 Brine Affected Areas

Brine affected areas within 75m of the study site None identified Guidance: No Guidance Required.

Appendix D: Contaminated Land Risk Assessment Methodology

Phase 1 (Desk Study) Ground Contamination Report BHA Consulting Appendices

BHA Consulting

Contaminated Land Risk Assessment Methodology

The following Contaminated Land Risk Assessment methodology is based on CIRIA C552 (2001) Contaminated Land Risk Assessment – A Guide to Good Practice, and is used in order to quantify the risk posed by various sources, pathway and receptor linkages as identified by the Phase I (Desk Study) stage. This will then determine an overall risk category which can be used to identify potential investigation or remedial actions. This methodology uses qualitative descriptors and therefore is a qualitative approach based on the desk study information and should be refined following receipt of any Phase II investigation data.

The methodology requires the classification of:

• the magnitude of the consequence (severity) of a risk occurring, and

• the magnitude of the probability (likelihood) of a risk occurring.

The potential consequences of contamination risks occurring at this site are classified in accordance with Table A below:

Classification Definition of Consequence

• Short-term (acute) risks to human health • Short-term risk of pollution of sensitive water resource or ecosystem Severe • Catastrophic damage to crops/buildings/property/infrastructure, including off-site soils

• Medium/long-term (chronic) risks to human health • Medium/long-term risk of pollution of sensitive water resource or ecosystem Medium • Significant damage to crops/buildings/property/infrastructure (on or off-site) • Contamination of off-site soils

• Easily preventable, permanent health effects on humans Mild • Pollution of non-sensitive water resources • Localised damage to crops/buildings/property/infrastructure (on or off-site)

• Easily preventable, non-permanent health effects on humans, or no effects Minor • Minor, low-level and localised contamination of on-site soils • Easily repairable damage to crops/buildings/property/infrastructure

Table A: Classification of Consequence

BHA Consulting

The probability of contamination risks occurring at this Site are classified in accordance with Table B below:

Classification Definition of Probability

Circumstances are such that an event appears very likely in the short-term or almost High inevitable in the long-term; or there is already evidence that such an event has Likelihood occurred.

Circumstances are such that such an event is not inevitable, but is possible in the Likely short-term and is likely over the long-term.

Low Circumstances are such that it is by no means certain that an event would occur Likelihood even over a longer period, and it is less likely in the short-term.

Circumstances are such that it is improbable that an event would occur even in the Unlikely very long-term.

Table B: Classification of Probability* *Note that for each category, it is assumed that a pollution linkage exists. Where a pollution linkage does not exist, the likelihood is zero, as is the risk.

For each possible pollution linkage (source-pathway-receptor) identified, the potential risk can be evaluated based upon the following probability x consequence matrix:

Consequence

Severe Medium Mild Minor

High Likelihood Very High Risk High risk Moderate Risk Low Risk

Likely High Risk Moderate Risk Moderate Risk Low Risk

Low Likelihood Moderate Risk Moderate Risk Low Risk Very Low Risk Probability Unlikely Low Risk Low Risk Very Low Risk Very Low Risk

Table C: Risk Matrix Mum Mild Minor The definitions of the risk categories, together with the investigatory and remedial actions that are likely to be necessary in each case are shown in Table D. These risk categories apply to each pollutant linkage, not simply to each hazard or receptor.

Risk Definition and likely actions required Category

• Severe harm to a defined receptor is very likely, or has already occurred • The risk is likely to result in a substantial liability Very High • Urgent investigation (if not already undertaken) is likely to be required • Urgent remediation is likely to be required • Harm to a defined receptor is likely • The risk, if realised, may result in a substantial liability High • Urgent investigation (if not already undertaken) is likely to be required • Remediation is likely to be required in the long term, possibly sooner • Harm to a defined receptor is possible, but severe harm is unlikely Moderate • Investigation is likely to be required to clarify the level of potential liability and risk • Some remediation may be required in the longer term • Harm to a defined receptor is possible, but is likely to be mild at worst • Liabilities could theoretically arise, but are unlikely Low • Further investigation is not required at this stage • Remediation is unlikely to be required • Harm to a defined receptor is unlikely, and would be minor at worst • No liabilities are likely to arise Very Low • Further investigation is not required at this stage • Remediation is very unlikely to be required Table D: Definition of Risk Categories and Likely Actions Required
