1 Introduction 1.1 Overview
1.1.1 Esso Petroleum Company, Limited (Esso) has been granted a Development Consent Order (DCO) by the Secretary of State to replace 90km (56 miles) of an existing pipeline with 97km of new pipeline to transport aviation fuel between Boorley Green in Hampshire and the Esso West London Terminal storage facility in Hounslow. The replacement pipeline is 97km long, taking into account that it cannot follow the line of the existing pipeline along its whole length due to new developments and environmental constraints.
1.1.2 Esso has already replaced 10km of pipeline between Hamble and Boorley Green in Hampshire. The replacement pipeline starts near Boorley Green at the end point of the previously replaced pipeline. The route runs generally in a northeast direction via Esso’s Pumping Station in Alton. It terminates at the Esso West London Terminal storage facility. The areas of land to be permanently or temporarily used for the project are known as the Order Limits.
1.1.3 The project within this local authority area is broken down into five stages. These are based on geographical areas. Runnymede Borough Council is host to 8.95km of the 97km pipeline route. This Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) specifically applies to the section of works between (498 999E, 164 608N) and (505 919E, 166 722N), in the Borough of Runnymede. This is shown on Sheets 11 and 12 in the Stages of the Authorised Development.
1.1.4 It is anticipated that works to install the pipeline will start in 2021 and be completed in 2023. The installation of the pipeline is planned to be completed within a two-year construction period. On completion of the installation works the contractor will hydrotest the pipeline and any post-construction monitoring required will be carried out.
1.1.5 The development authorised by the DCO must be undertaken in accordance with the LEMP pursuant to Requirement 12 of the DCO.
1.2 Purpose of the LEMP
1.2.1 An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was carried out to assess the effects that the project, as presented within the application for development consent, would have on the environment. As part of this process, which included extensive stakeholder engagement, a number of commitments were made to good practice measures to be actioned during design and construction. These were assumed as part of the assessment process. In addition, mitigation measures were proposed and committed to, to offset any significant effects identified as part of the assessment.
1.2.2 The purpose of the LEMP is to set out how landscape and ecological features such as vegetation and habitats would be protected and managed during construction, and reinstated following construction. The LEMP enables the proposed landscape and ecological good practice measures to be actioned within the project.
Page 1 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
1.2.3 The LEMP provides a consistent approach to the control of construction activities for the project. The LEMP covers protection of landscape and ecology during construction, reinstatement of vegetation and habitats post construction and the implementation of other ecological mitigation measures, together with the subsequent aftercare and, where applicable, monitoring arrangements.
1.2.4 Under the terms of the DCO Requirement 12, no stage (as outlined in Section 1.1) of the authorised development must commence until a LEMP relating to that stage has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority. Under Requirement 12 of the DCO, the final LEMP must be in accordance with the Outline LEMP. The LEMP must also include an implementation timetable and must be carried out as approved.
1.2.5 The LEMP is being issued to Runnymede Borough Council as part of discharging Requirement 12. It is anticipated that Runnymede Borough Council will, at their discretion, consult relevant statutory bodies, including Natural England and other relevant consultees, such as the local wildlife trusts. Once the planting proposals have been agreed with the Runnymede Borough Council, Esso will discuss the proposals with the relevant landowners, prior to construction.
1.2.6 Esso will put in place robust procedures to inform and supervise all those working on the project, including its supply chain of contractors, to make sure the control measures set out in the LEMP are adopted when undertaking the construction of the pipeline and ancillary works.
1.3 Change Process
1.3.1 This section sets out how change would be managed if this was necessary in order to implement the project. It creates a category of “Technical Variation” for the approval of minor variations by the relevant authority that Esso considers does not require formal evaluation under paragraph 20 of Schedule 2 of the DCO (Amendments to approved details).
1.3.2 For those more significant changes that need to be considered under paragraph 20 it sets out a process for distinguishing which changes may need to be considered under paragraph 20(2). Changes that may result in likely significant effects on the environment and that are not assessed in the Environmental Statement, may require further assessment by the relevant authority. A change which Esso considers does not require further assessment is termed a “Non-material Change” below. A change that Esso considers does require further assessment and therefore a discussion to determine what assessment is required is termed a “Material Change” below.
1.3.3 In each case under this section it is open for the relevant authority to require more stringent evaluation if it considers this necessary.
Page 2 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Technical Variation (not covered by Paragraph 20 (Amendments to approved details))
1.3.4 By agreement with landowners and relevant regulatory bodies it may be necessary to amend the details contained in the supporting appendices and plans attached to this LEMP as a result of the iterative discussion and engagement that will continue after the LEMP has been approved. The resulting technical variation would not alter any of the underlying commitments, mitigations and methodologies set out in the LEMP. An example may be a proposed change to the planting locations or species as a result of a landowner request to those shown in the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B.
1.3.5 Where there is a proposed technical variation, Esso will provide details to the Relevant Planning Authority together with evidence of relevant stakeholder approval. The Relevant Planning Authority will, acting reasonably, endeavour to respond within 10 business days to either confirm its consent to the technical variation or provide its reasons why the change is not accepted including where it considers the requested variation is a Non-material or a Material Change (as described below). If declined, Esso may then withdraw the request, or treat the request as a Non-material or a Material Change.
Other Changes (covered by Paragraph 20 (Amendments to approved details))
1.3.6 During the implementation of the project it may be necessary or prudent to seek an alternative approach to the commitments, mitigations and methodologies set out in this approved LEMP. Pursuant to Paragraph 20 of Schedule 2 of the DCO, Esso and Runnymede Borough Council will adopt the following procedure in respect of a requested change to the requirements of the LEMP.
Non Material Change
1.3.7 Where Esso and its expert advisers reasonably consider that the proposed change is not likely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects to those assessed in the Environmental Statement, this would be presented as a Non-material Change.
1.3.8 Esso will submit the proposed change to Runnymede Borough Council with details of the requested change (including any amendments to the relevant mitigation measures) together with a summary of why Esso considers the change to be a Non- material. Upon receipt of the request Runnymede Borough Council will, acting reasonably, endeavour to respond within 15 business days to either confirm its consent to the Non-material Change or provide its reasons why the change is not accepted. It should be noted that consent is deemed to be approved if no formal decision is made by the relevant authority within 42 days of the initial application. If declined, Esso may then withdraw the request, treat the request as a Material Change or appeal the decision in accordance with Schedule 2 of the DCO.
Material Change
1.3.9 Where Esso and its expert advisers reasonably consider that the proposed change is likely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects
Page 3 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
to those assessed in the Environmental Statement, this would be presented as a Material Change.
1.3.10 Esso will discuss the proposed change with Runnymede Borough Council together with its proposals for appropriately assessing the Material Change. Upon receipt of the assessment proposals, Runnymede Borough Council will, acting reasonably, endeavour to respond within 10 business days to comment on the assessment proposals.
1.3.11 Following subsequent assessment of the proposed change in accordance with any comments received Esso will submit the proposed change to Runnymede Borough Council with details of the requested change (including details of any amendments to the relevant mitigation measures) together with the findings of the assessment and the reasons why Esso considers the change is unlikely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects in comparison with the authorised development as approved (as identified in the Environmental Statement). Upon receipt of the request Runnymede Borough Council will, acting reasonably, endeavour to respond within 15 business days to either confirm its consent to the Material Change or provide its reasons why the change is not accepted. It should be noted that consent is deemed to be approved if no formal decision is made by the relevant authority within 42 days of the initial application. If declined, Esso may then withdraw the request or appeal the decision in accordance with Schedule 2 of the DCO.
1.4 Structure of the LEMP
1.4.1 The LEMP sets out: how existing sensitive features would be retained during construction; how land would be restored post construction; a programme of post construction aftercare; and a programme of monitoring.
1.4.2 Section 3 of the LEMP provides an overview of the main landscape and ecological designations which provide the planning policy context for the LEMP. Commitments relevant to vegetation retention and removal are set out in Section 4. Commitments relevant to landscape and ecological reinstatement are set out in Section 5. Aftercare arrangements and monitoring are outlined in Sections 6 and 7 respectively. The LEMP contains the following appendices: Appendix A – SSSI Working Plans – Not applicable to Runnymede Borough Council. Appendix B – Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans – these show the proposed reinstatement of the working area following the installation of the pipeline. The plans also show the proposed reinstatement planting. Appendix B also contains the planting schedules including seed mixes, tree types and sizes which have coded references on the plans to show which applies in each location. Appendix C – Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees. Appendix D – Methodology for working near trees.
Page 4 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
1.4.3 Commitment G87 states ‘Vegetation clearance, retention, protection and replanting/reinstatement drawings would be produced prior to the construction phase’. This is implemented through Requirement 8 of the DCO as follows. Runnymede Borough Council will be notified of the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans in accordance with Requirement 8(1)(a) of the DCO. These plans are based on the intended pipeline alignment which has taken into account the construction and environmental good practice measures, local features and engineering constraints. These plans will reflect the requirements of Section 4 of the LEMP. Appendix B contains the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in accordance with Requirement 8(1)(b) of the DCO. These reflect the requirements of Section 5 of the LEMP.
1.4.4 In addition, the ‘Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees’ is included as Appendix C for information.
1.4.5 The LEMP should be read in conjunction with the Code of Construction Practice (Document Reference REP7-028), the Site Specific Plans and the CEMP and associated appendices. The DCO specified that the final plans would be in accordance with the Outline plans that were certified as part of the DCO and that they be approved by the relevant authorities prior to the commencement of construction. Code of Construction Practice (CoCP): The CoCP provides a consistent approach to the control of construction activities along the entire pipeline and mitigates potential impacts on people and the environment. It sets out the embedded design measures that have been committed to on the project, including locations and requirements for narrow working. In addition, the CoCP contains construction methodologies about how the works would be undertaken in general. These comprise:
open cut;
trenchless: auger bore;
trenchless: Horizontal Directional Drilling;
streets;
watercourses;
woodland;
working near trees;
hedgerows;
schools; and
sports pitches and golf courses Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP): This sets out generally how environmental management will be undertaken on the project during construction. It also outlines the roles and responsibilities for implementing actions on site, including the role of the Environmental Clerk of Works (ECoW). The CEMP also includes relevant appendices, as described below.
Page 5 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Appendix A: Emergency Action Plan – sets out the emergency procedures to be put in place for potential environmental incidents.
Appendix B: Water Management Plan – sets out a framework for use and control of water on the project. It outlines the environmental risks and considers appropriate methods to mitigate against these risks. It considers surface water and groundwater pollution and surface water runoff contributing to flood risk.
Appendix C: Site Waste Management Plan – identifies the main sources of waste produced during construction of the project and how it should be disposed of.
Appendix D: Dust Management Plan – sets out how the project would avoid or reduce emissions to air and human exposure to emissions. It also promotes close working with relevant authorities to maintain air quality, and provides for mitigation where dust soiling cannot be prevented.
Appendix E: Noise and Vibration Management Plan – sets out measures to reduce noise and vibration impacts at local receptors during the construction of the pipeline. It also promotes positive working relationships with local communities and the relevant planning authorities.
Appendix F: Soil Management Plan – sets out the generic commitments that the project has made and details about how soils would be protected, stored and reinstated as part of the works. It also outlines the monitoring and reporting that would be undertaken in respect of soils.
Appendix G: Lighting Management Plan – sets out the project’s strategy for lighting, including identification of light-sensitive locations and measures to reduce impacts, for example at bat roosts. Community Engagement Plan: This sets out how the project will communicate with the local community. It sets out the roles and responsibilities for engagement on the project.
1.5 Links to European Protected Species Licences
1.5.1 The application for Development Consent included the draft European Protected Species (EPS) licences and also the Letters of No Impediment from Natural England. The final licences will be produced and submitted to Natural England in 2021. The final licences will contain the mitigation measures required to comply with legislation. The measures set out within the draft licences have been taken into account when developing the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans and the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans.
1.5.2 Project Commitment G174 states that ‘buildings, structures and trees within the Order Limits, confirmed to have high or moderate potential to support bats, that do not require removal, would be retained and protected with an appropriate buffer zone. Those that require removal and have high or moderate potential for bat roosts would be surveyed prior to their removal and either removed or removed under licence from Natural England if roosts are confirmed to be present.’ There are ongoing bat surveys to confirm which trees containing bat roosts would require
Page 6 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
felling on the project. If any trees are identified that contain roosts and would require felling, a bat licence would be submitted to Natural England for approval.

2 Project Commitments
2.1.1 During application, Esso made a number of good practice measures which would reduce impacts on the landscape and to habitats and ecology. These are indicated by a reference number, for example ‘(G21)’. The overarching good practice measures that would reduce landscape and ecological impacts are listed in Table 2.1. There are a number of more detailed commitments relating to specific aspects of the LEMP, which are included at the start of the relevant section.
Table 2.1: Good Practice Measures Relevant to the LEMP
Commitment Commitment number O1 Commitment to only utilise a 10m width when crossing through boundaries between fields where these include hedgerows, trees or watercourses. G40 Where sensitive features are to be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, an appropriate buffer zone would be created where this extends within the Order Limits. The buffers would be established using appropriate fencing and signage. Suitable methodologies would be produced to ensure that construction works are undertaken in a manner that reduces the risk of damage or disturbance to the sensitive feature. G61 Construction within Bourley and Long Valley SSSI, Colony Bog and Bagshot Heath SSSI and Chobham Common SSSI would be in accordance with Appendix B of the Habitat Regulations Assessment (application document 6.5). Where necessary, detailed methodologies would be agreed with Natural England prior to commencement. All construction works would be in accordance with the detailed methodologies. G65 Working widths would be reduced in specific locations where trees or hedges are present. Where notable1, TPO, Ancient Woodland and veteran trees would be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, the trees and their root protection areas would be protected where they extend within the Order Limits and are at risk. This would be by means of fencing or other measures. G88 Where possible, reinstatement of vegetation would generally be using the same or similar species to that removed (subject to restrictions for planting over and around pipeline easements). G91 The contractor(s) would retain vegetation where practicable and in accordance with, as a minimum, the vegetation retention drawings. G92 A five-year aftercare period would be established for all mitigation planting and reinstatement. G94 Land used temporarily would be reinstated to an appropriate condition relevant to its previous use. G95 The contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective principles set out in the British Standard 5837:2012: Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction. This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction. G97 Where woodland vegetation is lost and trees cannot be replaced due to the restrictions of pipeline easements, native shrub planting approved by Esso would be used as a replacement, in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans to be approved by the relevant planning authorities as part of the LEMP. The approved vegetation reinstatement plan will also include replacement tree planting where appropriate. G200 Trees that are removed as a result of the construction of the project will be replaced on a one for one basis in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans approved under the LEMP. Where possible, replacement tree planting will be located in close
1 Notable trees are defined as ‘prominent trees within the landscape and by nature will generally be the larger more mature specimens’.
Page 8 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Commitment Commitment number proximity to the original tree. It should be noted that such tree reinstatement would not apply to areas where tree removal is for habitat improvement reasons, such as at Chobham Common and this has been agreed with Natural England and the relevant landowners. HRA1 Heathland within statutory or non-statutory designated wildlife sites would be reinstated using natural regeneration, unless otherwise agreed with Natural England.
2.1.2 In certain areas, a commitment has been made to a narrower working width within the Order Limits to reduce impacts at these specific locations. This approach involves using a narrower working width than the typical 30m due to localised constraints, such as working in roads or ecologically sensitive areas. Vegetation outside of the narrow working limit would be retained as shown in the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans. The full list of narrow working locations is listed in Annex A of the CoCP.
2.1.3 There are also areas where the project has made commitments to avoid features within the Order Limits (embedded design measures) set out in Table 3.1 of the CoCP. These have been taken into account when developing the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans.

3 Landscape and Ecological Features 3.1 Landscape and Ecological Designations
3.1.1 The landscape and ecological designations relevant to the LEMP are summarised below. Further details relating to landscape designations can be found in ES Chapter 10 (Application Document APP-050), and further information relating to ecological designations can be found in ES Chapter 7 (Application Document APP-047).
Statutory and Non-statutory Designations
3.1.2 The Order Limits pass through Chertsey Meads Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Dumsey Meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest lies on the opposite bank of the River Thames, in Spelthorne District.
3.1.3 The Order Limits cross five non-statutory designated sites: at Monk’s Walk North and West (incl. M3 Exchange Land) Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), Pannells Farm SNCI, Chertsey Bourne at Chertsey Meads SNCI, Chertsey Meads SNCI, and River Thames – Runnymede SNCI.
3.1.4 There are no national trails within or adjacent to the Order Limits within Runnymede Borough, although the Thames National Trail follows the opposite bank of the river, just inside Spelthorne Borough. There are many other Public Rights of Way within the Runnymede Borough, some of which cross the Order Limits, for example to the south of Longcross and around Pannells Farm. There is no open access or common land within the Order Limits in Runnymede Borough.
Ancient Woodland, Veteran Trees and Tree Preservation Orders
3.1.5 The Order Limits pass adjacent to Fan Grove Ancient Woodland (1493326). There is also a strip of potential ancient woodland (AW30) at Silverlands, west of Addlestone and south of B386. A trenchless crossing (TC-028) is proposed at each of these locations to avoid impacts to the ancient and potential ancient woodland.
3.1.6 There are no Veteran Trees within the Order Limits in Runnymede Borough. There are potential veteran trees identified within the Order Limits. These comprise three oak trees to the south of B386 Longcross Road and a group of oaks on the edge of woodland at Foxhills Golf Club, Chertsey (G170).
3.1.7 There are a number of TPOs within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits. These include:
Foxhills Golf Course woodland Areas Fronting Longcross Road, Kitsmead Lane, Holloway Hill, Accommodation Road And Stonehill Road;
Land at Hardwick Court Farm, Hardwick Lane, Chertsey;
Land At Sandgates, Guildford Road, Chertsey; and
Land On The West Side Of Chertsey Road, Addlestone.

3.2 Summary of Main Land Uses Crossed by the Pipeline Route
3.2.1 The land uses that the Order Limits would pass through are presented in ES Chapter 12 (Application Document APP-052). Soils and geology are described within ES Chapter 11 (Application Document APP-051). For the purpose of identifying landscape mitigation and management, the main land uses that the Order Limits would pass through are summarised below.
3.2.2 Soils have been broadly categorised by reference to LandIS (Cranfield University, 2019). There is a variety of soil types through Runnymede Borough. These include slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged fine loams over clay with slight waterlogging to deep permeable coarse loams and sandy soils, some with peaty surface horizons affected by groundwater.
Priority Habitats and Ecological Features
3.2.3 Priority habitats are outlined within the Phase 1 Habitat Survey (Application Documents APP-080 and APP-081). There are the following priority habitats identified within the Order Limits:
Lowland Meadows (part of Chertsey Meads);
Wet Woodland (small areas within Pannells Farm SNCI and Chertsey Meads SNCI, and Abbey Moor Golf Course centred on TQ 04274 65725); and
Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland (Foxhills Golf Course centred on TQ 01150 65391 and associated with Monk's Walk North & West (incl. M3 Exchange Land) SNCI and Pannells Farm SNCI).
3.2.4 There are potential bat roosts in the trees within the Order Limits. There are great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) in ponds at Foxhills Golf Course (ponds 194a, 194b, 194c, 201) and east of Chobham Common (pond 180). There is also common reptile habitat at TQ 03450 65913 and TQ 04224 65708, either side of Pannells Farm SNCI. Badger setts have also been identified within the Order Limits.
Woodland
3.2.5 There are areas of woodland within the Order Limits at the boundary between Surrey Heath and Runnymede Borough. There is also woodland at Fan Grove and around Silverland Farm.
Towns and Urban Areas (including parks and open space)
3.2.6 The Order Limits pass through a residential area at Canford Drive, to the south of Chertsey. The Order Limits pass through two golf courses within Runnymede Borough. These are Foxhills Golf Course to the west of the M25 and Abbeymoor Golf Course, which lies to the east of the M25. The Order Limits also pass through the grounds of Salesian School, near to where the A320 crosses the M25 and through the grounds of Abbey Rangers Football Club, to the south of Chertsey before passing through Chertsey Meads, which lies on the south bank of the River Thames.

4 Vegetation Retention and Removal 4.1 Planning and Programming of Vegetation Removal
4.1.1 The LEMP should be read alongside the Staging Plan, which sets out the implementation timetable for the work within Runnymede Borough. This has taken account of restrictions such as constraints on timing due to seasonal and/or ecological constraints including the good practice measures set out in Table 4.1.
Table 4.1: Good Practice Measures for Planning and Programming
Commitment Commitment number G34 Where restrictions to working are required due to ecological seasonality, e.g. for hibernation or breeding of protected species, standard timings have been indicated. However, due to alterations in weather patterns and temperatures from year to year, the restricted season may alter. It would be at the discretion of the ECoW in consultation with Natural England, where applicable, to decide the actual dates for restriction of works. G35 Bird Breeding Season: The assumption would be that vegetation with the potential to support bird nests would not be removed during the breeding bird season (March to August inclusive). If any works become necessary during the breeding bird season, works would be supervised by an ECoW. Appropriate protection measures would be put in place should active nests be found. These would include exclusion zones around active nests until chicks fledge or nests become inactive as determined by monitoring by the ECoW. G42 A suitable methodology would be produced to set out how identifiable areas with the potential presence of Schedule 9 plant species or other invasive species would be demarcated, and how any affected soils would be appropriately managed throughout the works. G52 Adder and sand lizard hibernacula would be retained and protected during construction where practicable. If unavoidable, the removal of vegetation and groundworks at hibernacula would be timed to avoid the hibernation season. G59 Potential disturbance to ponds would preferably be timed to avoid the amphibian breeding season or would be supervised by an ECoW. Any amphibians captured during supervision would be translocated to the nearest undisturbed pond. G61 Construction within Bourley and Long Valley SSSI, Colony Bog and Bagshot Heath SSSI and Chobham Common SSSI would be in accordance with Appendix B of the Habitat Regulations Assessment (application document 6.5). Where necessary, detailed methodologies would be agreed with Natural England prior to commencement. All construction works would be in accordance with the detailed methodologies. G196 All habitats suitable for common reptiles would be subject to two-stage habitat manipulation between mid-March and mid-October. Firstly, vegetation would be cut to approximately 150mm (with the arisings removed) under the supervision of an ECoW and the site left for a minimum of two days to allow reptiles to move away from the area. Secondly, vegetation would be cleared down to ground level under the supervision of an ECoW. Vegetation clearance would be achieved using appropriate equipment based on the type of vegetation to be removed, the area affected, and the risk of killing or injuring reptiles. Construction works could commence immediately after completion of the second stage.
4.2 General Principles of Vegetation Retention and Removal
4.2.1 The overarching aim would be to ‘retain vegetation where practicable and in accordance with, as a minimum, the vegetation retention drawings’ (Commitment G91). In accordance with G95, the contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective principles set out in the British Standard (BS) 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design,
Page 13 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
demolition and construction. This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction.
4.2.2 The vegetation retention and removal plans that have been submitted in accordance with Requirement 8(1)(a) of the DCO (the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans), have been developed following the identification of the intended pipeline alignment and provided to the relevant planning authorities for information in accordance with Requirement 8. Vegetation retention and removal at the areas covered by the Site Specific Plans will be as per the Site Specific Plan unless otherwise approved by the relevant planning authority.
4.2.3 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans will follow the requirements of DCO Article 42 – Felling or lopping, namely:
‘(1) The undertaker may fell, lop, prune, coppice, pollard or reduce in height or width, any tree or shrub within or overhanging land within the Order limits, or may cut back the roots of a tree or shrub which extend into the Order limits if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree, shrub or roots from—
(a) obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or
(b) constituting a danger to persons using the authorised development.
(2) In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1) or (3), the undertaker must not cause unnecessary damage to any tree, shrub or hedgerow and must pay compensation to any person who sustains any loss or damage arising from such activity for that loss or damage.
(3) The undertaker may, for the purpose of the authorised development—
(a) subject to paragraph (2), remove any hedgerows within the Order limits that may be required for the purposes of carrying out the authorised development; and
(b) only remove important hedgerows identified in Schedule 10 (Removal of important hedgerows) to the extent shown on the plans identified in Schedule 10 [of the DCO]’
4.2.4 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans will, where applicable, implement the SSSI working plans contained at Appendix A in accordance with Requirement 12(1) of the DCO.
4.2.5 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans show: working areas (taking into account narrow working and trenchless crossings where applicable) and the intended pipeline alignment;
Page 14 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
vegetation to be retained and removed; Root Protection Areas (RPAs) and proposed mitigation hierarchy (see LEMP Appendix C for details) applied to Ancient Woodland, potential ancient woodland, Veteran Trees and potential veteran trees; RPAs for surveyed trees, including notable trees; known sensitive landscape and ecological features to be retained such as hedgerows and ponds; and locations where measures to protect vegetation would be required, such as protective matting or fencing.
4.2.6 In general, waste generated from vegetation clearance would be removed from site in accordance with Appendix C (Site Waste Management Plan) of the CEMP. Subject to landowner agreement, some logs and vegetation may be used to create replacement hibernacula and refugia to mitigate habitat loss to reptiles and amphibians, in accordance with Commitment G53 and as set out within the EPS licences. Some vegetation may also be chipped and left on site, subject to landowner agreement.
4.3 Vegetation and Tree Retention
4.3.1 The overarching aim would be to ‘retain vegetation where practicable and in accordance with, as a minimum, the vegetation retention drawings’ (Commitment G91). Table 4.2 includes the key project commitments that are relevant to retention of existing vegetation which would be implemented when developing the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans.
4.3.2 In accordance with Commitment G85, the working area would be appropriately fenced. The fencing may serve more than one function, for example delineating the working area and protection of trees. The choice of fencing would be decided relevant to the work location in accordance with BS 5837:2012. Provision of additional fencing on a site by site basis may be used to reduce the potential for impacts on wildlife and trees. Fencing would be regularly inspected and maintained and removed as part of the demobilisation unless otherwise specified. The ECoW and arboriculturalist will contribute to discussions on appropriate signage and/or fencing to protect environmentally sensitive features, including RPAs.
4.3.3 Tree Protection Fencing types would include:
Level 1 Protection: This will be used to protect important trees within areas of high construction activity. It could include braced Heras type panels with signage. It may include solid hoarding in areas where it provides a combined function of protecting trees and providing security and screening;
Level 2 Protection: This will be used to reduce the risk of construction encroachment such as at the edge of the working area. This may include rigid pedestrian barriers; and
Level 3 Protection: This will be used in areas with a low risk to trees such as marking the RPA of trees lying outside of the working area. This may include
Page 15 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
orange netting on steel pins to mark out the extent of the RPA for trees beyond the working area.
4.3.4 Physical barriers will not be provided where retained vegetation is in a location where there is a very low risk of accidental damage being caused, for example at the top of a steep cutting where the cutting itself provides protection. Where other temporary fencing is provided, for example great crested newt fencing, this may provide suitable protection, although further signage will be added.
4.3.5 As well as delineating the site, the working area fencing would serve to protect the trees that lie outside of the working area.
Table 4.2: Good Practice Measures in Relation to Retention of Vegetation
Commitment Commitment number O1 Commitment to only utilise a 10m width when crossing through boundaries between fields where these include hedgerows, trees or watercourses. G40 Where sensitive features are to be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, an appropriate buffer zone would be created where this extends within the Order Limits. The buffers would be established using appropriate fencing and signage. Suitable methodologies would be produced to ensure that construction works are undertaken in a manner that reduces the risk of damage or disturbance to the sensitive feature. G51 Where works in wet heath would be unavoidable, effects on soils and surface vegetation would be reduced through the use of ground protection matting and use of appropriate machinery. G52 Adder and sand lizard hibernacula would be retained and protected during construction where practicable. If unavoidable, the removal of vegetation and groundworks at hibernacula would be timed to avoid the hibernation season. G57 Earth banks within SSSIs which are likely to be of importance for common reptiles and invertebrates would be avoided and protected, where practicable. If their removal is unavoidable during construction, the banks should be reinstated. G65 Working widths would be reduced in specific locations where trees or hedges are present. Where notable, TPO, Ancient Woodland and veteran trees would be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, the trees and their root protection areas would be protected where they extend within the Order Limits and are at risk. This would be by means of fencing or other measures. G86 Works to notable, TPO and veteran trees, where at risk of damage, would be supervised by the ECoW and supported by an experienced arboriculturalist. G91 The contractor(s) would retain vegetation where practicable and in accordance with, as a minimum, the vegetation retention drawings. G95 The contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective principles set out in the British Standard 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction. This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction. G131 River bank and in-channel vegetation would be retained where not directly affected by installation works. G174 Buildings, structures and trees within the Order Limits, confirmed to have high or moderate potential to support bats, that do not require removal, would be retained and protected with an appropriate buffer zone. Those that require removal and have high or moderate potential for bat roosts would be surveyed prior to their removal and either removed or removed under licence from Natural England if roosts are confirmed to be present. G175 For trenchless crossings TC001 to TC015, TC019, TC021 to TC028, TC030 to TC040, vegetation would be retained except where emergency access is required to trenchless
Page 16 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Commitment Commitment number equipment or ecological works have been proposed. At TC029 vegetation would be retained to the east of Hardwick Lane but not to the west side due to the requirement for access. At TC016, TC017 and TC018, there would be limited removal of vegetation along the alignment of the existing pathway to allow for pipe stringing.
Retention and Protection of Woodland and Trees
Extract taken from the CoCP (Section 2.11)
Site preparation: All tree surgery works necessary for the project will be carried out prior to the commencement of site operations unless otherwise agreed. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998: 2010, Tree Work – Recommendations. Prior to the commencement of any works the appointed arboriculturist will set out the Construction Exclusion Zone (CEZ). The CEZ is defined as the area of the root protection area that all works, and access are not permitted within. The CEZ will be delineated with the use of exclusion fencing Where the entire RPA cannot be protected due to restricted space or agreed works within the area then suitable ground protection will also be necessary. Section 6.2.3.3 of BS5837: 2012 sets out the requirements for ground protection and states that the level of protection should be capable of supporting any traffic entering the area. This may be scaffold boards for pedestrian movements, or a proprietary system capable of supporting loads of several tons. Once all protection measures are in place a photographic record will be taken and these measures will remain in place until works in the area are completed. Where works are beyond RPAs and a considerable distance from trees the RPA will be marked out using orange pedestrian fencing to highlight the prohibited area. No alterations in soil levels other than those already agreed, will occur within the CEZ without prior agreement from the appointed arboricultural consultant. No materials, vehicles, plant or personnel will be permitted into the CEZ at any time without prior consent from the arboricultural consultant. Where pipeline installation is required within RPAs, manual excavation will be used as described in section 7.2 of BS5837:2012.
4.3.6 When crossing a woodland, the working area would typically be reduced to 15m wide. Trees not being retained would be removed from the working area. As with typical woodland management, the trees would generally be coppiced to ground level with the tree stumps left in situ to allow for rapid regrowth to would reduce the ground disruption and for ecological value (for invertebrates during decomposition), providing this does not impede the use of the working area. Additional scrub and ground cover may also need to be cleared beneath the canopy of trees in woodland areas and retained woodland, to allow access for the pipeline installation.
4.3.7 The Order Limits have been defined to avoid Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees, where practicable. Where works are located near to Ancient Woodland (including potential ancient woodland) and Veteran Trees (including potential veteran trees), these will follow the mitigation principles set out in Appendix C and this has been reflected in the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans. Appendix C has been developed having regard to the joint standing advice from Natural England and the Forestry Commission (2018) ‘Ancient woodland, ancient trees and veteran trees: protecting them from development’.
Page 17 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
4.3.8 Appendix C sets out the agreed mitigation hierarchy for the protection of Ancient (and potential ancient) Woodland and Veteran (and potential veteran) Trees. Appendix C also identifies which trees fall within each tier of the mitigation hierarchy, as also indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans.
4.3.9 In most cases, there is sufficient space to locate the pipeline trench outside of the 15m buffer around the designated trees. In a small number of cases, this is not practicable due to engineering or other environmental constraints and construction working and / or the pipeline trench would need to be located within the Root Protection Area (RPA). Where avoidance of the RPA is not practicable, specialist construction measures would be adopted, as set out in Appendix D. If any additional veteran trees are added to the Woodland Trust Inventory ahead of site works, the mitigation hierarchy would be applied in the same way. The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans show the buffer applied to each area of known Ancient Woodland, potential ancient woodland, Veteran Tree and potential veteran tree.
4.3.10 Commitment G65 states that ‘working widths would be reduced in specific locations where trees or hedges are present. Where notable, TPO, Ancient Woodland and veteran trees would be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, the trees and their root protection areas would be protected where they extend within the Order Limits and are at risk. This would be by means of fencing or other measures’. In addition, ‘works to notable, TPO and veteran trees, where at risk of damage, would be supervised by an Environmental Clerk of Works (ECoW) and supported by an experienced arboriculturalist’ (Commitment G86).
4.3.11 For all other trees, ‘the contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective principles set out in the British Standard 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction. This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction’ (Commitment G95).
4.3.12 There are ongoing site surveys being undertaken to map trees within the working area and to identify the RPAs. All trees to be retained (as indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans) will be protected during construction to reduce the risk of accidental damage and compaction of roots.
4.3.13 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans show the RPAs for surveyed trees, including notable trees. The RPAs would be delineated with fencing during construction. The RPA may be identified using tree groupings rather than individual trees. In this case, an arboriculturalist will calculate the RPA based on the largest stem diameter. The RPA for all retained trees within the working area (or where roots are likely to extend into the working area) will be delineated on site prior to works commencing. This will be undertaken in discussion with an arboriculturalist, with site checks undertaken by the ECoW.
4.3.14 Where trees are to be retained, works would be undertaken outside of the RPA where practicable. Where some encroachment into the RPAs of retained trees is unavoidable, an arboriculturalist will assess and specify temporary ground protection if deemed necessary to avoid compaction. This will be based upon the extent of encroachment into the RPA (area or linear length), the duration of the
Page 18 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
works and the type of work to be carried out. The specified ground protection will be suitable for the level of encroachment and type of traffic in accordance with section 6.2.3 of BS 5837:2012 and the area will be made good once the ground protection is removed. This area would be indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans. Appendix D contains a methodology for working near trees and outlining how works would be undertaken within RPAs where required. The location of protection measures, such as ground matting, is indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans.
4.3.15 Crown lifting or pruning may be required to some trees and overhanging vegetation, to reduce the risk of further damage. This would be undertaken by a qualified contractor and advised by an arboriculturalist.
4.3.16 The working method near trees will take into account installation requirements, such as working space, soil type and construction activities, and site constraints, such as proximity to services, watercourses or archaeology.
Protection of Watercourses
Extract taken from the CoCP (Section 2.9)
Fencing along the outside of the working area will be narrowed at this point to ensure no encroachment onto the watercourse banks beyond the 10m width. The fencing would not be placed down the bank or within the watercourse.
In-stream vegetation within the crossing area would be temporarily translocated within the watercourse slightly upstream or downstream of the works and will be returned to its original position as part of the reinstatement. The bed material will also be stored separately and used for reinstatement.
Only the bank vegetation within the working width will be removed to reduce biodiversity impacts and fragmentation. The species mix will be recorded by the Environmental Clerk of Works so that it can be reflected in the reinstatement, as appropriate.
[Upon completion], the instream vegetation will be removed from its temporary location and returned to this section of the watercourse. The banks of the watercourse will be replanted and reseeded as part of the reinstatement plans contained within the LEMP. The area of bank reinstatement will be covered with hessian which will encourage plant establishment and reduce the risk of soil erosion. The hessian will naturally degrade in situ as the vegetation grows back.
4.3.17 The crossing of major rivers by the project would be undertaken using trenchless methods in accordance with overarching Commitment O5: ‘Trenchless crossing technology to be used for crossings of waterways over 30m wide’. A construction methodology has been set out in the CoCP to describe how the remaining watercourses would be crossed using open cut methods. This includes Commitment O1, ‘to only utilise a 10m width when crossing through boundaries between fields where these include… watercourses’.’. River bank and in-channel vegetation would be retained where not directly affected by installation works (G131). Such works will also be in accordance with approvals from the Environment Agency or Lead Local Flood Authorities as per the protective provisions in Schedule 9 of the DCO.
Page 19 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
4.3.18 In addition, appropriate buffer zones would be established within Order Limits adjacent to identified watercourses (G39). These are indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans by showing the 10m working area as per Commitment O1. The buffer zone would be set out following the method set out within the CEMP, Appendix B Water Management Plan.
Retention and Protection of Ecological Features
4.3.19 Measures to retain and protect features specific to protected species are set out in the Protected and Controlled Species Legislation Compliance Report (Appendix 7.17 of the Environmental Statement (Application Document APP-101) and would be confirmed in the EPS licences. These measures are not shown on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans but where known, have been taking into account during the development of these plans. Further details would be set out within the relevant EPS licence and the protection of such features would be determined on site under supervision of the ECoW and an ecologist.
4.3.20 Known ecologically sensitive features, such as priority habitats and rare species are indicated on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans, which show locations where topsoil stripping would be reduced or where matting is required. In addition, further checks prior to construction may identify additional site specific ecological features that would be retained and protected during construction, where practicable. This will include the identification of reptile hibernacula in accordance with the following commitment: Commitment G52: ‘Adder and sand lizard hibernacula would be retained and protected during construction where practicable. If unavoidable, the removal of vegetation and groundworks at hibernacula would be timed to avoid the hibernation season.’ and
Retention and Protection of Hard Landscape Features
4.3.21 Where existing hard landscape features lie within the Order Limits, such as walls, paths or street furniture, such features will be protected during construction where practicable. Where it is not practicable to retain such features, these will be removed from the working area and, where appropriate, stored to allow reinstatement following the works, or replaced with new. Details will be recorded about the location of the feature(s) to aid reinstatement following construction. Details of key features, such as those in publicly accessible areas, are shown on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans and the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans.
Retention and Protection of Specific Features
4.3.22 Archaeological trial-trenching is being undertaken in advance of the main works to assist in identifying the extent of archaeology. This may result in archaeological mitigation in accordance with Requirement 11 of the DCO which would comprise either a full or sample excavation; strip, mapping and sample prior to construction, or an archaeological watching brief during construction (G68).
4.3.23 Where appropriate, topsoil stripping will be monitored by an archaeologist in order that any archaeological features uncovered during topsoil removal can be investigated in accordance with the Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation.
Page 20 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
4.4 Vegetation and Tree Removal
General Approach to Removal of Vegetation
4.4.1 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans show the locations where vegetation will be removed. A record would be made of the species types, approximate age and size to inform the reinstatement in line with the specification tables in Appendix B.
4.4.2 The vegetation clearance will be supervised by the ECoW and supported by an experienced arboriculturalist at locations where tree works are required to notable, TPO and Veteran Trees (in accordance with Commitment G86).
Woodland and Tree Removal
Extract taken from the CoCP (Section 2.10)
When crossing woodland, the detailed design process would seek to reduce the working area to 15m wide although this could be narrowed to as little as 10m.
Trees not being retained will be removed from the working area. These will be cut down to ground level by a specialist contractor. As with typical woodland management, tree stumps will be left in situ, to reduce the ground disruption and for ecological value (for invertebrates during decomposition), providing this does not impede the use of the working area.
Stumps and topsoil will be removed from the area required for the trench.
Landowners retain rights over felled timber and the method of disposal will require agreement of the landowner. Typically, timber can be used within the woodland for habitat creation, nearby ecological or community projects, or it is recycled.
The Environmental Clerk of Works and arboriculturalist will provide advice when any works to trees such as branch removal are required.
4.4.3 All tree works will be carried out by a specialist contractor. Where trees and shrubs are removed to facilitate construction access but do not lie within the direct route of excavation, these may be coppiced to allow rapid regeneration. Where trees are removed within the direct route of excavation, stumps shall be ground out or excavated using a tracked excavator. Details of the location of trees to be removed are shown on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans.
4.4.4 Where working beneath trees is unavoidable the introduction of height barriers may be necessary if pruning cannot provide sufficient height clearance. This will prevent damage to overhead branches within wooded areas.
Page 21 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Hedgerows
Extract based onSection 2.12 of the CoCP
The working area would be reduced to a maximum of 10m in width (O1).
Within the typical 36m Order Limits, and taking account of other local considerations, the detailed design will select the least impactful 10m width to use within the Order Limits, to take advantage of gaps within an existing hedge, or reduce the number of trees removed where possible. For example, if there is a tree within the hedgerow, installation will seek to retain the tree by positioning the working area to the side. Similarly, utilising existing gaps or entrances already within the hedgerow will reduce the amount of vegetation to be removed.
Tree felling and removal will be undertaken by a specialist contractor.Fencing of the working area will be continuous when crossing a hedgerow, creating a barrier between the retained hedge and the working area and taking account of the Root Protection Area (RPA) where practicable.
Topsoil will be stripped from the working area. If the haul road crosses the RPA of the retained hedge, appropriate ground protection such as matting will be used.
On completion of the works, dead hedging will be installed for all hedges to restore ecological connectivity until permanent reinstatement can be undertaken.
4.4.5 The Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans show the extent of hedge to be removed consistent with Commitment O1, ‘to only utilise a 10m width when crossing through boundaries between fields where these include hedgerows, trees or watercourses’. Where practicable the selection of the location has been based on the least impactful 10m width, taking into account other local considerations. For example, taking advantage of existing gaps within a hedge.
4.4.6 Where hedgerows lie within the Order Limits but are not crossed by the pipeline alignment, these would be protected, with the RPA being delineated and works occurring outside of the RPA where practicable.
4.5 Ecological Considerations
4.5.1 Specific measures relating to protected species will be set out within the final licences which will be approved by Natural England.
4.5.2 All habitats suitable for common reptiles would be subject to two-stage habitat manipulation between mid-March and mid-October. Firstly, vegetation would be cut to approximately 150mm (with the arisings removed) under the supervision of an ECoW and the site left for a minimum of two days to allow reptiles to move away from the area. Secondly, vegetation would be cleared down to ground level under the supervision of an ECoW. Vegetation clearance would be achieved using appropriate equipment based on the type of vegetation to be removed, the area affected and the risk of killing or injuring reptiles. Construction works could commence immediately after completion of the second stage (Commitment G196).
Page 22 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
4.6 Turf Stripping
4.6.1 Turf stripping is proposed at golf courses and sports pitches (see Section 2.14 of the CoCP) and also at species-diverse priority habitats where natural regeneration would not be suitable. Turf stripping allows a quicker time for reinstatement and will be undertaken at the following locations within Runnymede Borough (as shown on the Vegetation Retention and Removal Plans and also on the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans): NW21: Chertsey Meads LNR and Site of Importance for Nature Conservation: Chertsey Meads partly comprises areas of Lowland Meadows Priority Habitat. Post construction reinstatement would comprise using existing turf that was stripped and suitably stored during the construction phase. Sports pitches and golf courses: Typically, the only area that would require topsoil to be removed would be the area directly above the trench to reduce the impact and reinstatement time. In such areas, the turf would be removed and stored before being re-laid following pipeline installation. Further details can be found in the construction methodology for Sports Pitches and Golf Courses in Section 2.14 of the CoCP.
4.6.2 In locations where turf stripping is proposed, topsoil would only be removed from the area directly above the pipeline trench. Ground protection would be used to evenly distribute the load from vehicles and machinery for the rest of the working area. The type of ground protection would be selected, either matting, timber, metal, rubberised or similar, dependent on the ground conditions and the machinery/plant being used.
4.6.3 Turf would be removed from the trench and the topsoil and subsoil would be stored (separately) away from the trench in a suitable location. Once the pipe has been installed, the subsoil and topsoil would be replaced. Backfilling may be undertaken in several layers, around 150mm at a time. This is to provide a level and even compression of the soils, and thus a flat reinstated surface.
4.6.4 In the priority habitat (NW21), the turf would be replaced to maintain the seed bank and to reduce the time required for reinstatement. In sports pitches and golf courses the existing turf may be re-laid or alternatively, reinstatement could be achieved through seeding or turfing with new turf, with like for like species of grass, in accordance with Sport England’s guidance ‘Natural Turf for Sport’ 2011, or to the specification given by the landowner, using a specialist sports turf contractor. The locations of turf storage would also be agreed on site. For all turf stripping locations, the reinstatement method would be agreed with the landowner or tenant and this would involve the use of specialist contractors where required.
4.7 Transplantation
4.7.1 In accordance with Commitment G89, ‘appropriate techniques would be used for the removal, storage and transplantation of any vegetation which is to be reused, relocated or transplanted’.
4.7.2 Where practicable, in-stream vegetation at watercourse crossings would be temporarily translocated within the watercourse slightly up or downstream of the
Page 23 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
works and will be returned to its original position as part of the reinstatement. The bed material will also be stored separately and used for reinstatement. Specific plants would be identified during the pre-construction checks and the temporary locations agreed on site with the ECoW. Further details can be found in the construction methodology for watercourses in the CoCP.
4.8 Invasive Non-Native Species
4.8.1 Existing survey work has identified the presence of INNS at the locations listed within Section 3.3. In areas where Schedule 9 plant species or other INNS are identified, the proposed working method would be discussed with the ECoW and supported by an ecologist. Where required, vegetation would be removed from the site in accordance with the CEMP, Appendix C Site Waste Management Plan.
Page 24 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
5 Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement 5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 This section sets out the general principles for how reinstatement would be undertaken on the project. It includes the reinstatement of hard landscaping features such as walls and fences. It also covers soft landscaping, including the reinstatement of vegetation that has been removed and reinstatement of habitat areas.
5.1.2 Requirement 8 of the DCO states that ‘the reinstatement of all vegetation must be undertaken in accordance with a written plan of reinstatement to be prepared by the undertaker in accordance with paragraph (2). The written plan of reinstatement referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) must form part of the LEMP approved in accordance with Requirement 12 (landscape and ecological management plan)’.
5.1.3 Appendix B contains the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans, which are based on the intended pipeline alignment and show locations where specific measures would be applied. These are based on the examples of the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans provided during Examination.
5.1.4 The final Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans show: existing features retained; location of key hard landscaping features to be reinstated, such as walls and fences and surfacing of paths within public parks; vegetation, including hedges and trees, to be replanted with reference to types and sizes; and landscape and ecological mitigation measures, for example provision of hedge infilling for dormice.
5.2 General Reinstatement Proposals
5.2.1 The LEMP includes reference to the Staging Plan, which sets out the implementation timetable of reinstatement for the work within Runnymede Borough. Reinstatement would be undertaken in the first available planting season following completion of installation of the pipeline.
5.2.2 The general principle of reinstatement on the project is that ‘Land used temporarily would be reinstated to an appropriate condition relevant to its previous use’ (Commitment G94). Reinstatement would be on a like-for-like basis, unless specified otherwise in the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B.
5.2.3 Reinstatement tree planting would be undertaken in accordance with G200. Where practicable, this will be in the same location or in close proximity to the tree that has been removed. In some locations existing constraints or the location of the pipeline easement may preclude planting in close proximity in which case the planting would be undertaken as close as possible to the original location (and still within the Order Limits). Reinstatement planting is shown on the Landscape and Ecological
Page 25 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B. Further commitments in relation to reinstatement are included in Table 5.1.
Table 5.1: Good Practice Measures for Reinstatement
Commitment Commitment number G53 Replacement hibernacula and refugia would be provided within the Order Limits to mitigate habitat loss to reptiles and amphibians. G55 Individual plants of creeping willow (Salix repens) and common wintergreen (Pyrola minor) at Bourley and Long Valley SSSI and Chobham Common SSSI, where likely to be affected by construction, would be translocated into suitable receptor locations within the Order Limits where practicable. The location of the receptor site would be determined by the ECoW and protected by an appropriate buffer during the pipeline construction period. G56 Alternative roost structures (bat boxes) would be provided (with landowner consent) on retained trees within the Order Limits. Three boxes would be provided for all trees with moderate bat roost potential to be felled. Five boxes would be provided for all trees with high bat roost potential to be felled. G58 Barn owl boxes would be provided for barn owls as necessary. Two boxes per roost would be positioned a minimum of 40m away from the likely construction zone of disturbance. G62 Vegetation arisings would be disposed of responsibly. Small quantities may be reused on site to create ecological habitat. G88 Where possible, reinstatement of vegetation would generally be using the same or similar species to that removed (subject to restrictions for planting over and around pipeline easements). G93 Hedgerows, fences and walls (including associated earthworks and boundary features) would be reinstated to a similar style and quality to those that were removed, with landowner agreement. G94 Land used temporarily would be reinstated to an appropriate condition relevant to its previous use. G97 Where woodland vegetation is lost and trees cannot be replaced due to the restrictions of pipeline easements, native shrub planting approved by Esso would be used as a replacement, in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans to be approved by the relevant planning authorities as part of the LEMP. The approved vegetation reinstatement plan will also include replacement tree planting where appropriate. G200 Trees that are removed as a result of the construction of the project will be replaced on a one for one basis in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans approved under the LEMP. Where possible, replacement tree planting will be located in close proximity to the original tree. It should be noted that such tree reinstatement would not apply to areas where tree removal is for habitat improvement reasons, such as at Chobham Common and this has been agreed with Natural England and the relevant landowners. HRA1 Heathland within statutory or non-statutory designated wildlife sites would be reinstated using natural regeneration, unless otherwise agreed with Natural England. HRA2 At heathland SSSIs, targeted scrub and secondary woodland within the Order Limits would be removed. Subject to landowner consent, these areas would be reinstated as heathland or acid grassland through natural regeneration.
5.2.4 The Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans will be discussed with the relevant landowner (and, where appropriate, tenant). This will be to confirm the suitability of proposed planting, the specification of hard landscape features such as fences and walls (based on like-for-like reinstatement) and will also include discussions about the acceptability with the landowner of the planting once the five- year aftercare period has been completed. Where there is reinstatement on a private property, the final placement would be agreed with the landowner.
Page 26 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
5.2.5 The proposed reinstatement is shown on the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B. The planting proposals have followed the following principles: Trees and shrubs will be of local provenance and shall be supplied in accordance with BS 8545:2014 Trees: from nursery to independence in the landscape (British Standards Institution, 2014). Exceptions may include urban or park environments, where ornamental species may be more appropriate. The proposed species and sizes are shown in Appendix B. Reinstatement planting, including any subsequent replacement of failed planting, shall be carried out in the first available planting season. For example, tree and scrub planting would typically be undertaken between November and the end of March, avoiding periods of frosts, extreme cold and waterlogged conditions. Planting shall be undertaken by an appropriately experienced landscape contractor, in accordance with good horticultural practice and the following current British Standards:
BS 4428:1989 Code of practice for general landscape operations (British Standards Institution, 1989); and
BS 8545:2014 Trees: from nursery to independence in the landscape (British Standards Institution, 2014). Tree and shrub planting areas will initially be protected to shield young trees from browsing rabbits and deer during establishment, for example using tree/shrub shelters or fencing.
5.2.6 The proposed species mixes and typical stock sizes for the main planting reinstatement types are set out in the table in Appendix B and are cross-referenced on the relevant reinstatement plan. These generally reflect existing species compositions and habitat types (see ES Appendix 7.1 (Application Documents APP-080 and APP-081)) and ES Figure 7.4 (Application Document APP-061) for further details) where these were considered appropriate. Alternative mixes have been set out in some locations, as shown on the plans, where alternative species are considered more appropriate. Alternative species mixes have been proposed in areas where the current site conditions (including habitats and drainage) may have changed in recent years; where the existing planting includes INNS that would be inappropriate to reinstate; or where there are existing species at risk of pests and diseases (such as ash dieback).
5.2.7 It may be difficult to purchase proposed species mixes and stock sizes set out within the LEMP. If during implementation, there are difficulties with sourcing the planting species and sizes specified, a discussion would be held with the Runnymede Borough Council regarding alternative species or sizes.
5.3 Reinstatement of Woodland and Trees
5.3.1 Following construction, areas of woodland that were removed would be reinstated using the same or similar species to those removed. Where tree species cannot be used due to the restrictions of the 6.3m wide pipeline easement, native shrub understorey/edge planting would be used. Reinstatement woodland and tree
Page 27 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
planting would typically be undertaken between November and the end of March, avoiding periods of frosts, extreme cold and waterlogged conditions.
Reinstatement of Hedgerows and Woodland Field Boundaries
5.3.2 The construction methodology for hedgerows in the CoCP (and within Section 4.4 of the LEMP) sets out how construction would be undertaken in hedgerows and woodland field boundaries. Following construction, hedgerows and woodland field boundaries that were removed would be reinstated using the same or similar species to those removed. Where tree species cannot be used due to the restrictions of the 6.3m wide pipeline easement, native shrub would be used.
5.3.3 Hedgerows will be typically planted at 300mm centres in a double-staggered row 450mm apart, with tree species randomly incorporated where appropriate. However, where the pipeline installation requires removal of 10m of hedge, trees will not be replaced over the 6.3m pipeline easement but will be located either side of this area (in the remaining 3.7m). The reinstated hedgerow will be boxed with stockproof post and rail to protect the plants until they established. In addition, dead hedging will be installed for hedgerows to restore ecological connectivity until permanent reinstatement can be undertaken.
5.3.4 A proportion of tree species within hedgerows would be planted as feathered stock to help establish hedgerow tree forms. The proportion of feathered tree species within reinstatement hedgerow planting is set out within the specification in Appendix B. A higher proportion of feathered tree species has been used for reinstatement of woodland field boundaries compared to a hedgerow, to establish a replacement tree line/woodland belt.
Reinstatement of Individual Trees
5.3.5 Where individual mature trees may need to be removed they will be replaced with a mix of feathered and extra heavy trees using the species listed in Appendix B, which has drawn on the baseline information from the arboricultural surveys.
5.3.6 The depth and size of topsoil pit for tree planting shall be appropriate to the stock size of tree to be planted and in accordance with BS 8545:2014 Trees: from nursery to independence in the landscape (British Standards Institution, 2014).
5.4 Reinstatement of Grassland
5.4.1 Natural regeneration is proposed at Chertsey Meads (outside of the turf-stripping locations noted in Section 4.6. This was agreed with the botanist from Runnymede Borough Council and recorded within the Statement of Common Ground. The locations proposed for natural regeneration are shown on the reinstatement plans in Appendix B. Once installation is complete, the soil would be replaced (as per the method set out within the Soil Management Plan. No seeding would be undertaken and the area would be left to naturally regenerate during the aftercare period.
5.4.2 Areas of grassland and verges disturbed by construction activities outside of the areas identified for natural regeneration, will be reinstated by seeding of an appropriate grass mix suited to the existing soil conditions and site use. Seed is best
Page 28 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
sown in the autumn or spring, but can be sown at the other times of the year if there is sufficient warmth and moisture. The Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B show the land use type and proposed species mix composition within the accompanying specification.
5.5 Reinstatement of Hard Landscaping
5.5.1 Commitment G94 states that ‘Land used temporarily would be reinstated to an appropriate condition relevant to its previous use’. This assumes that in general, hard landscaping features, such as footpaths, walls or bank features would be reinstated or replaced on a like-for-like basis. This includes earth banks and hibernacula that were temporarily dismantled during construction. Like-for-like reinstatement has been assumed when developing the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B, and therefore only key features or those where reinstatement may be different than existing features are indicated on the plans.
5.6 Ecological Habitat Creation and Improvements
5.6.1 A number of Environmental Mitigation Areas (EMA) have been identified and are shown in the General Arrangement Plans to the DCO. The EMAs have been secured within the Order Limits to provide sufficient area for undertaking the good practice measures and mitigation identified within the Environmental Statement, Habitats Regulation Assessment Report (Application Documents APP-130 and APP-131)) and the draft European Protected Species (EPS) Licences.
5.6.2 The EMAs are areas where environmental mitigation work could be undertaken. As such, topsoil and subsoils will not be stripped from these areas, construction materials will not be stored in these areas and only light vehicles would be used for the mitigation work.
5.6.3 Some of the EMAs were included on a precautionary basis in case mitigation could not be accommodated within the working area and are not anticipated to be required. The specific measures required for provision of bat boxes (three boxes provided for all trees with moderate bat roost potential to be felled and five boxes for all trees with high bat roost potential to be felled) and great crested newt receptor ponds will be set out in the EPS licences and are not duplicated in the LEMP.
5.6.4 The dormouse licence requires additional hedgerow planting and gapping up within the Order Limits (i.e. excluding the like-for-like habitat replacement where hedgerow removal is required) which will mitigate the effects of temporary habitat loss associated with the project’. Locations for hedge infilling are shown on the Landscape and Ecological Reinstatement Plans in Appendix B to show the species types proposed.
5.6.5 Any activities identified within Esso’s Environmental Investment Programme would be managed separately.
Page 29 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
6 Aftercare 6.1 General Aftercare Commitments
6.1.1 As a general principle, at the end of installation, ‘land used temporarily would be reinstated to an appropriate condition relevant to its previous use’ (Commitment G94). In many locations, the land would be handed back to the relevant landowner at the end of reinstatement. Where vegetation including woodland, hedgerows and trees have been planted as part of the reinstatement, these would have a five-year aftercare period in accordance with Commitment G92 and Requirement 8 of the DCO.
6.1.2 Requirement 8 states, ‘any vegetation planting which is part of an approved reinstatement plan that, within a period of five years beginning with the date of planting, is removed, uprooted, destroyed, dies or (in the reasonable opinion of the relevant planning authority) becomes seriously damaged or defective, must be replaced with planting material of the same specification as that originally planted unless otherwise approved by the relevant planning authority and the landowner concerned’.
6.1.3 Periodic checks would be undertaken by a suitably experienced professional to check reinstatement and to replace species that have not taken. The landscape contractor would prepare inspection reports as part of these visits.
6.1.4 Prior to the end of the five-year aftercare period, an interim final inspection shall be undertaken jointly with Esso and the landowner at which any final replacement planting required shall be agreed. Following the completion of any agreed replacement planting, a final inspection shall then be held as part of the completion of the aftercare, whereupon Esso shall cease to have any further maintenance obligation.
6.1.5 The following sub-sections set out the proposed aftercare arrangements based on planting/habitat type
6.2 Woodland, Trees and Hedgerows
6.2.1 The five-year aftercare includes inspections by a suitably experienced professional for all reinstated woodland, hedgerows, woodland field boundaries and individual trees, to: check and record failing, dead or defective plants and replace any failed planting each year, between November and end of March; re-firm plants and inspect, adjust or remove stakes, guards and ties as required; apply herbicide to maintain weed-free plant circles around base of transplants and spot-treat undesirable species, having regard to any restrictions on use of herbicides in certain locations, for example, in proximity to water courses of other sensitive habitats, or through agreement with the landowner; and water individual larger specimen trees that have been planted, as required, during the five-year aftercare.
Page 30 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
6.3 Pests and Diseases
6.3.1 The periodic checks of reinstatement planting would include a check for any obvious signs of pests or diseases, including ash dieback or reoccurrence of INNS. Any instances would be recorded on the quarterly inspection reports and appropriate action taken.
Page 31 of the Runnymede Borough Council LEMP Southampton to London Pipeline Project Runnymede Borough Council Landscape and Ecological Management Plan
7 Ecological Monitoring 7.1 Monitoring at Designated Ecological Sites
7.1.1 A programme of post-construction monitoring and objectives/targets for designated ecological sites would be agreed and implemented in accordance with DCO requirements at the following site: Chertsey Meads LNR
7.1.2 The programme and content of post construction monitoring would be agreed with Natural England and recorded within the Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (Commitment G47).
7.1.3 In the areas listed in Commitment G47, the monitoring plan would be developed to set out the habitat management objectives and actions for site. Annual monitoring would be undertaken at these sites to inform the five-year aftercare period, which would be reviewed as required. The monitoring plan would be developed with Natural England and the landowner. Further details of the monitoring plan would be set in the final LEMP. The monitoring plan would set out any ongoing actions or management requirements that may be required beyond the five-year aftercare period.
7.2 Monitoring in Relation to Protected Species
7.2.1 In addition, further measures may be required by the conditions of species licensing, as required by the licensing authority, Natural England. These would last for a minimum of one year but may extend to the full five years of aftercare.
7.2.2 The scope of the protected species monitoring would be set out in the final EPS licence applications and would be agreed with Natural England. This may include site checks to monitor the presence/absence of a species or population-monitoring of a species. This would be used to determine the success of the mitigation undertaken. This would include nest-box checks for bats and dormouse and habitat creation checks of hibernacula and egg-laying substrate for amphibians, reptiles and invertebrate assemblages.
7.2.3 The monitoring requirements, including locations and frequency of inspections, would be set out within the finalised EPS licence applications and would be agreed with Natural England. Any corrective actions that may be required would be agreed with Natural England and implemented as required.

Southampton to London Pipeline Project Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees
1 Introduction
1.1.1 Esso Petroleum Company, Limited (Esso) has made an application for development consent to replace 90km (56 miles) of its existing 105km (65 miles) aviation fuel pipeline that runs from the Fawley Refinery near Southampton, to the Esso West London Terminal storage facility in Hounslow. The replacement pipeline is referred to as the project within this report.
1.1.2 The application for Development Consent is based on the project Order Limits, which are generally up to 36m wide. Within the Order Limits, there are the Limits of Deviation, which is the area within which the trench for the 300mm pipeline would be excavated. It is not possible to undertake a detailed Arboricultural Impact Assessment on individual trees within the Order Limits, as the pipeline routing would not be determined until the detailed design stage.
1.1.3 The Environmental Statement (ES) set out the assessment of the project on Ancient Woodland and potential ancient woodland. The assessment concluded that there were unlikely to be significant effects in relation to these (see ES Chapter 7 Application Document APP-047).
1.1.4 During ongoing discussions with Natural England and the Forestry Commission with regards to agreeing the Statements of Common Ground, the Applicant has agreed to provide further information around the assessment of designated trees based on the current project understanding. This has also provided an opportunity to consider standing advice from Natural England and the Forestry Commission (2018) and to provide further details on a mitigation hierarchy for the protection of designated trees.
1.1.5 For the purposes of this document, ‘designated trees’ comprise of: Ancient Woodland (including potential ancient woodland); and Veteran Trees (including potential veteran trees).
1.1.6 For the purposes of the project, ‘Ancient Woodland’ are areas of woodland identified on the Ancient Woodland Inventory. ‘Potential ancient woodland’ are areas of woodland less than 2ha in size that have been identified by the project as potentially being ancient woodland through desktop and / or field surveys but are not on the Ancient Woodland Inventory. ‘Veteran Trees’ are trees with veteran status on the Woodland Trust Ancient Tree Inventory. ‘Potential veteran trees’ are those identified during the arboricultural surveys undertaken for the project and which are not currently listed on the Woodland Trust Ancient Tree Inventory.
1.1.7 No Ancient Trees are recorded within 15m of the Order Limits on the Woodland Trust Ancient Tree Inventory (checked 8 December 2020). No potential ancient trees have been identified during the arboricultural site surveys, therefore, Ancient Trees and potential ancient trees are not considered further within this document.
Southampton to London Pipeline Project Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees
2 Project Overview for Trees 2.1 Design Evolution and Commitments
2.1.1 ES Chapter 4 (Application Reference APP-044) outlines how the project corridor and Order Limits have been defined to avoid important tree groupings, such as Ancient Woodland. There are several areas where the design was changed because of trees, either by narrow working commitments or by amending the Order Limits.
2.1.2 Table 2.1 outlines the general commitments that have been made for the project in relation to trees. These are all secured through the Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (Requirement 12). Those commitments related to trees and construction and the locations where narrow working would be undertaken are set out in the Code of Construction Practice for the project and are secured through Requirement 5 (Code of Construction Practice) of the Development Consent Order.
Table 2.1: Project Commitments Relating to Trees
Ref Commitment Description O1 Commitment to only utilise a 10m width when crossing through boundaries between fields where these include hedgerows, trees or watercourses. O2 Design route alignment to avoid all areas of existing classified Ancient Woodland. G65 Working widths would be reduced in specific locations where trees or hedges are present. Where notable, TPO, Ancient Woodland and veteran trees would be retained within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, the trees and their root protection areas would be protected where they extend within the Order Limits and are at risk. This would be by means of fencing or other measures. G86 Works to notable, TPO and veteran trees, where at risk of damage, would be supervised by the ECoW and supported by an experienced arboriculturalist. G87 In accordance with Requirement 8 of the DCO, vegetation clearance, retention, protection and replanting/reinstatement drawings would be produced prior to the construction phase (including where applicable as part of a Site Specific Plan). The contractor(s) would implement these plans including agreed mitigation where practicable. G88 Where possible, reinstatement of vegetation would generally be using the same or similar species to that removed (subject to restrictions for planting over and around pipeline easements). G91 The contractor(s) would retain vegetation where practicable and in accordance with, as a minimum, the vegetation retention drawings. G92 A five-year aftercare period would be established for all mitigation planting and reinstatement. G95 The contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective principles set out in the British Standard 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction . This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction. G97 Where woodland vegetation is lost, and trees cannot be replaced in situ due to the restrictions of pipeline easements, native shrub planting approved by Esso would be used as a replacement, in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans to be approved by the relevant planning authorities as part of the LEMP. The approved vegetation reinstatement plan will also include replacement tree planting where appropriate.
Southampton to London Pipeline Project Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees
Ref Commitment Description G175 For trenchless crossings TC001 to TC015, TC019, TC021 to TC028, TC030 to TC040, vegetation would be retained except where emergency access is required to trenchless equipment or ecological works have been proposed. At TC029 vegetation would be retained to the east of Hardwick Lane but not to the west side due to the requirement for access. At TC016, TC017 and TC018, there would be limited removal of vegetation along the alignment of the existing pathway to allow for pipe stringing. G200 Trees that are removed as a result of the construction of the project will be replaced on a one for one basis in accordance with the vegetation reinstatement plans approved under the LEMP. Where possible, replacement tree planting will be located in close proximity to the original tree. It should be noted that such tree reinstatement would not apply to areas where tree removal is for habitat improvement reasons, such as at Chobham Common and this has been agreed with Natural England and the relevant landowners.
2.2 Arboricultural Survey
2.2.1 Appendix 3 of the Scoping Report (Application Reference AS-019) set out the proposed approach to surveying trees within and in the vicinity of the Order Limits, to provide baseline information for the ES. The survey involved arboricultural specialists surveying trees in accordance with British Standard 5837:2012 Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction – Recommendations (BS 5837:2012). This information has been used to calculate root protection areas (RPAs) and has been used to inform the detailed routing of the pipeline.
2.3 Mitigation Hierarchy
2.3.1 It should be noted that the ES adopts a worst-case scenario whereby, with certain exceptions, it assumed that all trees within the Order Limits would be removed to facilitate installation of the project. This was because the project assumed Limits of Deviation within which the pipeline trench would be excavated, rather than a specific pipeline alignment, at such an early stage in the design process.
2.3.2 Since removal of all trees within the Order Limits is not the intention, this document sets out the mitigation hierarchy that is to be employed during the detailed route alignment design and installation. The starting assumption is that the project will seek to locate the pipeline trench outside of a 15 buffer around designated trees (including the RPAs) where practicable (A1 and B1 in the following sections). If this is not practicable, for example due to engineering or other environmental constraints, then the project would avoid locating the pipeline trench within the RPA (mitigation A2 and B2). Where avoidance of the RPA is also not practicable, a specialist construction measures for use within the RPA would be adopted and set out in a method statement (A3 and B3).
2.3.3 Site Specific Plans (SSPs) providing location-specific construction methodologies have been prepared as documents certified as part of the DCO. These include SSPs for Queen Elizabeth Park and Southwood Country Park, where veteran and potential veteran trees have been identified. Construction within those sites must be in accordance with those plans and therefore the mitigation hierarchy applied in these areas is based on the pipeline alignment shown within the SSP.
2.3.4 For all areas outside of an SSP, the Landscape Retention and Removal Plans identify the tier of the mitigation hierarchy that applies to designated trees.
Southampton to London Pipeline Project Approach to Ancient Woodland and Veteran Trees
3 Ancient Woodland 3.1 Definition
3.1.1 In the Standing Advice ‘Ancient Woodland, Ancient Trees and Veteran Trees: protecting them from development’, Ancient Woodland is defined as ‘any area that’s been wooded continuously since at least 1600 AD (Natural England and Forestry Commission, 2018). It includes: ancient semi-natural woodland mainly made up of trees and shrubs native to the site, usually arising from natural regeneration [and] plantations on ancient woodland sites - replanted with conifer or broadleaved trees that retain ancient woodland features, such as undisturbed soil, ground flora and fungi.’ (Forestry Commission and Natural England, 2018).
3.2 Project Approach to Ancient Woodland
Survey and Assessment
3.2.1 All designated Ancient Woodland on the Ancient Woodland Inventory dataset (Natural England, 2018) within 15m of the Order Limits was mapped. (Appendix A). Areas of designated Ancient Woodland are referred to within the ES Appendix 7.3 Ancient Woodland Factual Report (Application Reference APP-083).
3.2.2 The Order Limits were designed to avoid areas shown on the Ancient Woodland Inventory as per Commitment O2 ‘Design route alignment to avoid all areas of existing classified Ancient Woodland’.
3.2.3 There are 12 areas (which incorporate 14 inventory ‘plots’, as some larger woodlands are split into more than one plot on the inventory) of designated Ancient Woodland within 15m of the Order Limits, as illustrated on Figure 10.3 of the ES (Application Document APP-064).
3.2.4 Arboricultural surveys to map the stems of trees at the edge of Ancient Woodlands have helped define the extent of the woodland for determining protective buffers during construction.
Further Mitigation Principles
3.2.5 The project has considered the Forestry Commission and Natural England Standing Advice (2018) which states that ‘For ancient woodlands, you should have a buffer zone of at least 15 metres to avoid root damage…’.
3.2.6 The Landscape Retention and Removal Plans show areas of Ancient Woodland within 15m of the Order Limits and which tier of the mitigation hierarchy applies.

4 Potential Ancient Woodland 4.1 Definition
Forestry Commission and Natural England Standing Advice (2018), states that ‘Ancient woodlands smaller than 2 hectares are unlikely to appear on… Natural England’s Ancient Woodland inventory’. Therefore, for the purposes of this strategy, the term ‘potential ancient woodland’ is used to refer to woodland that corresponds to the definition of designated Ancient Woodland set out in Section 3 of this document, but is less than 2ha in size and is not recorded on the inventory. The approach taken to the identification of potential ancient woodland is set out below.
4.2 Project Approach to Potential Ancient Woodland
Survey and Assessment
4.2.1 A desk study was undertaken to identify areas of potential Ancient Woodland, as set out in ES Appendix 7.3 Ancient Woodland Factual Report (Application Reference APP-083). Although it was not possible to avoid all potential ancient woodland within the Order Limits during the pipeline routing, the project approach to the mitigation hierarchy for potential ancient woodlands is to treat them the same as designated Ancient Woodland using the measures outlined in Table 3.1.
4.2.2 Since submission of the application for Development Consent, additional desk survey has been undertaken to refine the precautionary assessment undertaken within ES Appendix 7.3 Ancient Woodland Factual Report (Application Reference APP-083). The additional work concluded that there are seven potential ancient woodlands within 15m of the Order Limits.
Further Mitigation Principles
4.2.3 The Landscape Retention and Removal Plans show areas of potential ancient woodland within 15m of the Order Limits and which tier of the mitigation hierarchy would apply. Table 4.1 summarises the number of potential ancient woodlands that are likely to fall within each tier of the mitigation hierarchy.

5 Veteran and Potential Veteran Trees 5.1 Definition
5.1.1 BS 5837:2012 defines a Veteran tree as a ‘tree that, by recognised criteria, shows features of biological, cultural or aesthetic value that are characteristic of, but not exclusive to, individuals surviving beyond the typical age range for the species concerned’. BS 5837:2012 also provides a footnote that ‘These characteristics might typically include a large girth, signs of crown retrenchment and hollowing of the stem. [BS 3998:2010]’
5.2 Project Approach to Veteran and Potential Veteran Trees
Survey Approach
5.2.1 At the time of submission of the application for Development Consent, there were no veteran trees recorded on the inventory within 15m of the Order Limits. Since application (checked 8 December 2020), three Veteran Trees have been added to the inventory within 15m of the Order Limits along Ashford Road, Staines and four Veteran Trees have been added to the inventory within 15m of the Order Limits at Queen Elizabeth Park, Farnborough.
5.2.2 Arboricultural surveys have recorded those trees that display features consistent with a potential veteran tree in accordance with BS 5837:2012. The potential veteran trees are listed in Table 5.2. RPAs have been calculated for each potential veteran tree.
Further Mitigation Principles
5.2.3 The project has considered the Standing Advice on protecting Veteran trees from development which states ‘A buffer zone around[a]… veteran tree should be at least 15 times larger than the diameter of the tree. The buffer zone should be 5m from the edge of the tree’s canopy if that area is larger than 15 times the tree’s diameter’ (Forestry Commission and Natural England, 2018).
5.2.4 For the purposes of the assessment and the application of the mitigation hierarchy, potential veteran trees are considered on the same basis as Veteran Trees. The Landscape Retention and Removal Plans identify potential veteran trees and the tier of the mitigation hierarchy that would apply.

Southampton to London Pipeline Project Appendix D: Working Near Trees
1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the Methodology
1.1.1 This methodology has been produced to support the Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) by providing further details about how works would be undertaken in and around root protection areas (RPAs). 2 General Principles
2.1.1 Table 1.1 outlines the commitments that the project has made in relation to RPAs. Table 1: Commitments
Commitment Where is it secured in Measures Description Reference the Draft DCO
G95 The contractor(s) would apply the relevant protective DCO Requirement 12 principles set out in the British Standard 5837:2012 Trees in (LEMP) relation to design, demolition and construction. This would be applied to trees within the Order Limits which would be preserved through the construction phase, and to trees outside of the Order Limits where such measures do not hinder or prevent the use of the relevant working width for construction.
G65 Working widths would be reduced in specific locations DCO Requirement 6 where trees or hedges are present. Where notable, TPO, (CEMP) and DCO Ancient Woodland and veteran trees would be retained Requirement 12 within or immediately adjacent to the Order Limits, the (LEMP) trees and their root protection areas would be protected where they extend within the Order Limits and are at risk. This would be by means of fencing or other measures.
G86 Works to notable, TPO and veteran trees, where at risk of DCO Requirement 5 damage, would be supervised by the ECoW and (CoCP) and DCO supported by an experienced arboriculturist. Requirement 8 (Hedgerows and trees)
2.1.2 In accordance with clause 6.3 of British Standard (BS) 5837:2012, works at ground level will be undertaken under the supervision of an arboriculturalist and / or Environmental Clerk of Works (ECoW).
2.1.3 Working in accordance with clause 6.2 of BS 5387:2012, barriers and / or ground protection will be used to demarcate RPAs on site. A joint RPA may be provided around groups of trees with the RPA reflecting the greatest RPA. In accordance with clause 6.2.1.1 of BS 5387:2012 all barriers and ground protection will be installed prior to works in the area commencing.
2.1.4 In accordance with good practice to avoid ground compaction, as referenced in clause 8.4 of BS 5387:2012, no materials (including fencing material prior to installation), plant or equipment will be stored in an RPA at any time. This will be briefed to all employees working in or adjacent to an RPA, and be monitored by, the arboriculturalist and / or ECoW. In addition, plant will not be allowed to idle or be

parked in the RPA. This will be briefed to all plant operators, and be monitored by, the arboriculturalist and / or ECoW. Where exclusion is not practical, alternative appropriate ground protection would be used following, discussion with the arboriculturalist.
2.1.5 In accordance with clause 6.2.2.4 of BS 5387:2012, project signage will also be installed to identify the RPA. 3 Protection of RPAs 3.1 Barriers
3.1.1 The type of barriers will be provided dependent on the level of risk posed to the RPA and to suit the location in accordance with clause 6.2.2.3 of BS 5387:2012, as agreed with the arboriculturalist on site. This may be post and rope, or netlon-type fencing in low risk areas, plastic style pedestrian barriers in medium risk areas or, in high risk areas, welded mesh panels on rubber feet with stabiliser struts, commonly known as heras fencing. A barrier will be erected to demarcate the RPA and to prevent works encroaching into the RPA. In accordance with clause 6.2.2.1 of BS 5387:2012, the site team will maintain the barriers so that they remain rigid and complete, for as long as they are in-situ. 3.2 Vehicle Access within an RPA
3.2.1 It will not always be practical to keep construction vehicles outside of the RPA in all instances. In some cases, temporary construction access may be required within some RPAs, as identified in clause 6.2.3.1 of BS 5387:2012. Where this is required the barriers will be set back as far as is required and clause 6.2.3.2 of BS 5387:2012 will apply. Temporary ground protection will be designed and installed in accordance with the requirements of clause 6.2.3.3 of BS 5387:2012.
3.2.2 Proprietary systems, as noted in point C of clause 6.2.3.3 of BS 5387:2012, will be installed where construction plant is required to traffic within the RPA. The proprietary system will be suitable to the duration and type of vehicular disturbance. It may include the following, as advised by the arboriculturalist:
Proprietary geo-cell: A permeable geotextile membrane is laid in the RPA followed by placement of the geo-cell. Geo-cell is available in various thicknesses which can be built up to provide the appropriate protection as detailed by the arboriculturalist. The geo-cell is then filled with clean angular stone fill. When works are complete the geo-cell can be teased from the angular stone, leaving the stone on the surface of the membrane. The stone can then be removed using hand tools or plant, such as a vac-ex truck, that operates from an intact adjacent section of geo-cell. This enables the removal of the stone working backwards out of the RPA.
Proprietary trackway / trackmat: A permeable geotextile membrane is laid in the RPA followed by a thickness of clean angular stone fill as detailed by the arboriculturalist. The proprietary trackway / trackmat is then laid on top and fixed together. Reversing this process removes the temporary ground protection. As with the geo-cell, the stone can be removed using hand tools or plant, such as a vac-ex truck, that operates from an intact adjacent section of ground protection. This enables the removal of the stone working backwards out of the RPA. If acceptable to the arboriculturalist, the trackway / trackmat will be placed

directly on the ground.
3.2.3 The proprietary systems are re-usable and will be moved around the project as required by the programme of works. 3.3 Pedestrian Access within an RPA
3.3.1 Where there are likely to be frequent worker (pedestrian) movements only in the RPA, lighter ground protection will be installed prior to works commencing, in accordance with clause 6.2.3.3 of BS 5837:2012:
Wood chips: A permeable geotextile membrane is laid in the RPA followed by placement of the wood chips to a depth of 100mm or that specified by the arboriculturalist. If required by the arboriculturalist, a proprietary pedestrian walkway board will be placed on the wood chips and connected. Wood chips will only be used where they have been generated as a result of the tree pruning / removal works as part of the project.
Walkway Boards: A proprietary pedestrian walkway board will be placed on a compression resistant layer or suspended onto a driven scaffold frame. 3.4 Working around Roots in Streets
3.4.1 Where roots are encountered in a street environment RPA, as described in clause 6.2.3.1 of BS 5837:2012, the existing road pavement will be left in place to provide the ground protection. The arboriculturalist will confirm that the existing road pavement is suitable to provide appropriate ground protection to tree roots. 4 Open Cut Works in an RPA
4.1.1 Open cut works in an RPA, whether in a rural or urban setting, will be undertaken under the supervision of an arboriculturalist and / ECoW. The following hand dig excavation techniques, individually or in combination, will be used to reduce any potential damage to the roots during open cut works:
Use of an air lance or air spade. An air lance or air spade provides a concentrated air flow in a high velocity stream jet. This penetrates and dislodges the soil without damage to roots and is an accepted method of excavating safely in accordance with clause 7.2.1 of BS 5837:2012. An air compressor is used to power the lance / spade. An air lance / spade is most effective in granular soils or made ground but can be used in clay-type soils. An experienced operator will be able to effectively dislodge the soil around the roots for removal by vacuum excavation or traditional methods i.e. excavator or manual removal.
Manual excavation. All operatives will be briefed and supervised by the arboriculture specialist and / or ECoW.
Use of a vacuum excavation (vac-ex) wagon. A vac-ex wagon can be used depending on ground conditions which will be assessed by the arboriculturalist and / or ECoW. Soil is displaced by suction power where high-volume air flow – suction – is generated to create the excavation. The suction dislodges the soil without damage to roots and is an accepted method of excavating safely in accordance with clause 7.2.1 of BS 5837:2012. The soil displaced during excavation can be stored to use later for reinstatement activities.
4.1.2 Hand excavation will be reviewed by the arboriculturalist as works commence and proceed. Where on initial excavation there is an absence of roots within the works area, and in agreement with the arboriculturalist, a small rubber tracked excavator Page 3 of Technical Note
Southampton to London Pipeline Project Appendix D: Working Near Trees
may be used to excavate the pipeline trench. All excavated spoil will be removed from the area or placed on temporary ground protection to be used for back filling upon completion.
4.1.3 Any roots uncovered during the works will be assessed and treated in accordance with clauses 7.2.2, 7.2.3 and 7.2.4 of BS 5837:2012.
4.1.4 Roots, whilst exposed, will be wrapped in dry hessian or covered to prevent desiccation and to protect them from temperature changes. Any wrapping will be removed prior to backfilling, which will take place as soon as practical once the pipeline has been installed.
4.1.5 As stated in the Code of Construction Practice, upon reinstatement the roots will be surrounded with topsoil, sharp sand (builders’ sand will not be used due to its high salt content) or other loose inert granular fill, before soil or other medium is replaced. This material should be uncontaminated and free from injurious objects. Temporary ground protection will be removed in a backwards direction away from the tree so as always to be positioned on protection and not on unprotected ground. Once the work area is cleared of ground protection the recently backfilled spoil will be watered.
