/ background 1.1.1 Oaktree Environmental Ltd have been instructed by Recycling Lives Ltd to prepare a Noise & Vibration Management Plan (NVMP) for their site situated at Recycling Lives Recycling Park, Longridge Road, Preston PR2 5BX. 1.1.2 Recycling Lives Ltd were issued the Environmental Permit (EP) by the Environment Agency (EA) on 20/08/2010 and due to increased site operational and legislative changes a permit variation initiated by the Environment Agency (EA) was issued on 26/07/2018 to update and consolidate the permit into a modern format. 1.1.3 Following the most recent variation of the EP as detailed in Section 1.2.1 above, the EA have included an improvement programme requirement (Table S1.5; page 20) which is shown overleaf and the reason required for this NVMP: Table 1.1 ‐ Extract of Table S1.5 ‐ Improvement programme requirements Reference Requirement The operator shall submit a Noise and Vibration Management Plan to the Environment Agency for approval. This plan should identify all potential sources of noise and vibration within the permitted area and include measures to minimise the risk of pollution from noise and IC2 vibration. The operator shall implement the Noise and Vibration Management Plan in accordance with the Environment Agency's written approval. 1.1.4 As the site is also proposing to increase the throughput and operational hours of the pre‐shredder and fragmentiser, the plan addresses the impacts of noise and includes the specific control measures required to mitigate the associated noise impacts with the operation of the site. 1.1.5 The operator is also installing al liquid‐crystal display (LCD) automated disassembly line which will be situated and partitioned inside the main building on site. The disassembly 1 Noise & Vibration Management Plan Version 1.1 Recycling Lives Ltd 09 September 2019 line will involve the use of a shredder, trommel, cyclones, extractor fans, overband magnets and eddy current separators. 1.1.6 The mitigation measures outlined in this will NVMP will be put in place by the management of Recycling Lives Ltd to ensure noise and vibration is controlled using Best practicable means (BPM) to ensure the receptors listed in Section 2.2 below are not affected by the above proposals. 1.1.7 Contact details for Oaktree Environmental are as follows: Oaktree Environmental Ltd Contact: Chris Lime House Position: Senior Consultant 2, Road Two Tel: 01606 558833 Winsford Industrial Estate Fax: 01606 861182 Winsford CW7 3QZ E‐mail: chris@oaktree‐environmental.co.uk 1.2 Site location 1.2.1 The site is located within the Preston Borough and part of the wider Lancashire County located off the B6243 Longridge Road, Preston approximately 1 km south west of Grimsargh and 4km east of Preston city centre.
