Highbridge Street - Waltham Abbey HIGHBRIDGE STREET - WALTHAM ABBEY PHASE 1 DESK STUDY HIGHBRIDGE STREET - WALTHAM ABBEY PHASE 1 DESK STUDY NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This Phase 1 Desk Study has been prepared for the additional development of new residential properties in a site located at 31 Highbridge Street, in Waltham Abbey, Essex, EN9 1BZ by Lustre Consulting Limited (Lustre) for Mr. J Blok. The site currently comprises of a residential property with private gardens and disused private garage, located within a mixed commercial and residential land use area. The site was developed by the 1860s, comprising a listed building within north-east corner of the site (a former Courthouse) and a yard area across eastern half of the site. The western section of the site was predominantly occupied by a single structure, which was demolished in the 1980s, prior to the construction of the existing garage. The historical construction and demolition works, particularly over the western section of the site have the potential to have generated Anthropogenic Ground across the site. Although, not evidenced on the historical mapping records, initial information provided to the client by Epping Forest District Council, suggests that historically the yard area to the rear of the Old Courthouse building (now comprising a residential garden) formed part of Abbey Forge, which extended off-site to the east. In addition, the western section of the site, where the proposed new residential dwellings are to be constructed, may also have been used as an engineering works. Both of these land uses also have the potential to generate and impact Anthropogenic Ground across the site. The site is located within a mixed residential and commercial setting, with multiple former industrial buildings within the immediate area, however by the 2010s most of these buildings had been redeveloped for commercial / residential use. Several historic landfill sites are also present within the surrounding area. The site is shown to be directly underlain by superficial deposits of Alluvium comprising soft to firm consolidated, compressible silty clay, but can contain layers of silt, sand, peat and basal gravel. This overlies bedrock geology of the London Clay Formation, comprising poorly laminated, blue-grey or grey- brown, silty to very silty clay. The Alluvium is listed as being a Secondary A aquifer while the London Clay Formation is listed as being unproductive strata. Deeper geology is anticipated to comprise of the Lambeth Group, over Thanet Sand Formation and Upper Chalk Group. Shallow groundwater is anticipated on site at approximately 3m bgl within the Alluvium. This Phase 1 Desk Study has determined that there is a moderate / low potential for contamination to be present on site. The proposed end uses of the site (comprising residential development with soft landscaping and private gardens), where potential exposure pathways between the identified potential sources of contamination and future site users are likely have also been taken into consideration. Based on the findings of this Phase 1 Desk Study, there is now a clear understanding of the potential sources of contamination at the site and the risks posed to identified receptors. The anticipated contaminative status of the site is not considered, in our opinion, to be prohibitive to the proposed redevelopment scheme. A Phase 2 Investigation is recommended to investigate the shallow soils, understand the local hydrogeological conditions/groundwater quality, the potential for hazardous gases/vapours and geotechnical considerations for foundations. © Copyright Lustre Consulting Limited The contents of this document must not be copied or reproduced in w hole or part without the written consent of Lustre Consulting.

The assessment has been undertaken in accordance with our fee proposal dated 08/01/2018, which was formally approved by Mr. J Blok on 08/01/2018. 1.2 The site, typically rectangular in plan, is centered at National Grid Reference 537930, 200590, and occupies an approximate area of 0.14ha as shown in Figure 1. The site currently comprises of a residential property with private gardens and disused private garage and is located within a mixed commercial and residential land use area. Mr. J Blok requires this Phase 1 Desk Study to support the proposed development relating to the construction of additional buildings comprising a low rise residential housing development with private gardens and communal soft landscaping. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed development scheme. Figure 1: Site Location Plan Lustre Consulting Limited Report Ref: 2038_FP01.0-2018 Page No. 5 HIGHBRIDGE STREET - WALTHAM ABBEY PHASE 1 DESK STUDY Figure 2: Proposed Site Layout Objective 1.3 The objective of this Phase 1 Desk Study (also known as a Contaminated Land Assessment) is to determine the contaminative status of the site and to provide a general indication of the likely geoenvironmental issues which may be present on site or affect the site, as well as to provide guidance on any resultant liabilities. Information on likely geotechnical conditions and hazards is also to be assessed. Scope of Works 1.4 The scope of works for the desk study is summarised below: Lustre Consulting Limited Report Ref: 2038_FP01.0-2018 Page No. 6 HIGHBRIDGE STREET - WALTHAM ABBEY PHASE 1 DESK STUDY • Review of available historical Ordnance Survey maps (dating back to the mid-1800s) of the site and surrounding areas to identify current or former potential sources of contamination both on-site and within the immediate surrounds; • Review of published geological, hydrogeological and hydrological records to assess the environmental setting of the site and surrounding areas; • Review of available public information and up-to-date regulatory information from relevant authorities to identify any potentially significant environmental issues at the site and surrounding areas; • Review of any existing information and reports relating to the site and surrounding area, including any available plans, development layouts etc; and • Development of a conceptual site model and risk assessment following the source- pathway-receptor pollution linkage. 1.5 The Phase 1 Desk Study has been prepared in keeping with best practice and current planning guidance. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)1 advises regulatory consultees to ensure that adequate site investigation information is provided at the initial planning stage, whilst the Environment Agency’s Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination (CLR112) requires a phased, risk based approach when dealing with land affected by contamination in the UK. 1.6 This Phase 1 Desk Study forms the first stage of an iterative contaminated land assessment, to identify any potential sources of contamination before undertaking any further intrusive Phase 2 investigation works or remedial action, if required. The methodology adopted in this Phase 1 Desk Study is based on the source-pathway-receptor model as set out in CLR112.

  • Alexandra Palace to Tottenham Hale Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Alexandra Palace to Tottenham Hale walk Alexandra Palace, the Parkland Walk (a former railway line), two restored Wetlands and several cafés in north London Length Main Walk: 15¾ km (9.8 miles). Three hours 45 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 7 hours. Short Walk 1, from Highgate: 11½ km (7.1 miles). Two hours 35 minutes walking time. Short Walk 2, to Manor House: 11½ km (7.1 miles). Two hours 45 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 173. Alexandra Palace is in north London, 10 km N of Westminster. Toughness 3 out of 10 (2 for the short walks from Alexandra Palace, 1 for the others). Features This walk is essentially a merger of two short walks. The first part is the popular Parkland Walk, a linear nature reserve created along the trackbed of a disused railway line. The second part links two new nature reserves created from operational Thames Water reservoirs, using a waymarked cycle/pedestrian route along residential streets. The walk starts with a short climb through Alexandra Park to Alexandra Palace, with splendid views of the London skyline from its terrace. This entertainment venue was intended as the north London counterpart to the Crystal Palace and although it was destroyed by fire just two weeks after opening in 1873 it was promptly rebuilt. Its private owners tried to sell the site and parkland for development in 1900 but it was acquired by a group of local authorities for the benefit of the public.

  • Looking Forward to the Next Ten Years
    Looking forward to the next ten years London Waterway Partnership Ten Year Strategic Plan 2014 1 Welcome I am delighted to present the London Waterway Partnership’s Strategic Plan. Preparation of the plan has taken a good deal of the Partnership’s early effort, but we have been much helped by the reception and comments arising from our draft document and the two consultation meetings held in December 2013. We are also grateful for the written comments received from the Heritage Lottery Fund; the Hillingdon Canal Partnership; London Boaters and Mark Walton, the River Lee Tidal Mill Trust and Westminster City Council. The document has been strengthened by the valuable points made by our respondents, particularly in emphasising the way in which London waterways can enrich regeneration opportunities and support education, training and volunteering. Our strategy is not set in stone. It is designed to develop over time with the continuing input from those supporting our waterways. We will report progress at our Annual Meeting. Our aspirations are ambitious and how quickly the objectives are met, will depend on the resources available in terms of money and support from within the Canal & River Trust and externally. What is not in question is our conviction that the regional and local elements of the Trust’s overall strategy should be emphasised. We set up the Partnership Board of 12 members in July 2013 and deliberately chose to make the board as diverse as possible in order to reflect the very wide range of interests in canals and waterways. I have been impressed by the Board’s commitment and enthusiasm, characteristics which have been reflected in the many people we have met in getting to know the key elements of London’s very diverse waterways.

  • Water Quality Analysis of the River Lee and Major Tributaries Within the Perimeter of the M25, from Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks
    A water quality analysis of the River Lee and major tributaries within the perimeter of the M25, from Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks. Client: Thames21 Consultant: Grieg R Davies Water sampling and analyses dates: 22 November – 04 December 2011 Date issued: 13 December 2011 Executive summary This report was commissioned to assess the biological, physical and chemical water quality of the London River Lee and its main tributaries within the M25 perimeter, from the M25 near Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks in Bow, London. A pilot water quality investigation was developed to assess 38 sites within seven watercourses, including the London River Lee. Common physical and chemical water quality parameters were measured in the field and analysed by means of representative samples in a laboratory. Samples and measurements were taken during a period of ‘reference’ water levels within the watercourses. Results were compared and analysed against existing water quality classifications from the EU Water Framework Directive amongst others. The investigation determined that the overall water quality within the London River Lee and its tributaries is very poor. Excessive concentrations of reactive phosphate (orthophosphate) in combination with low saturation of dissolved oxygen were common place within many of the sampled sites, as well as high counts of total coliforms and the presence of considerable levels of faecal coliforms. Values for chemical oxygen demand were also found to be excessively high within the majority of sample sites. A simple water quality index determined that the most deteriorated watercourse in the investigation was Stonebridge Brook, while the most deteriorated sample sites were located on the Pymmes Brook and Salmons Brook.

Notes of previous meeting held on 5th March 2013 and matters arising Apart from a typographical error relating to the date of the previous meeting (now amended) these were accepted as an accurate record of proceedings. Matters arising were as follows: 3.1 Five metre rule Kennet & Avon Canal. Bathampton AA officers were encouraged with progress made by the mooring group looking at long term arrangements for mooring on the western section of the Kennet & Avon. They remain hopeful that the 5 metre gap aspiration where they do not currently exist will continue to be adopted as a firm recommendation by the working group and in due course adopted as Waterway policy CK confirmed that two Boater Liaison Managers had recently been recruited. Both have extensive experience and background in community engagement and conflict resolution. Sorwar Ahmed will be covering the London Waterways and Matthew Symonds covering the south east and south west 1 3.2 Lure Angling Society & Pike Anglers Club. Negotiations with the Pike Anglers Club had reached a positive conclusion and they have now taken control of a 30 mile section of Lancaster canal as and from 1st May 2013.
