1 Introduction and objectives

1.1 Introduction

Apple Environmental Limited has been appointed to provide a Phase I environmental desk study report in support of the prior approval for the proposed change of use of an agricultural building to residential, to create a new dwelling.

1.2 Aim

The principal aim of a Phase I environmental report is to gather the information needed in order to be in a position to assess the presence and/or significance of any land contamination on this site. The resultant information then enables a preliminary risk assessment to be carried out to conclusions in which an acceptable degree of confidence can be placed. These conclusions form the basis of the conceptual site model (CSM), which therefore highlight any potential pollutant linkages at the site based on current and historical use of the land and its immediate surroundings, and if appropriate, proposes further investigation. Any such further investigation will focus on areas currently and previously used for purposes that may give rise to contamination and will take account of land use in the proposed future development, one of the principal goals being the reduction of any uncertainty in the CSM (BSI 10175:2011+A2:2017).

1.3 Objectives

The broad objectives of this report are to obtain information in order to:

 provide information from which likely contaminant-pathway-receptor relationships can be identified;

 evaluate the environmental setting of the site and to identify sensitive receptors;

 assess the likelihood of finding contamination on site, its nature and extent; and

 determine the need or requirements for further investigation, by means of generic or detailed risk assessment.

2 Site history

2.1 Introduction

The site is located in Sedgehill, near Shaftesbury , Wiltshire.

2.2 Historical maps

Historical mapping and other archive material has been consulted to ascertain the past use of the site.

1886 - 1890

The site is currently unoccupied. Two structures are present to the southeast which appear to be agricultural type buildings and collectively are labelled as Church Farm. Other structures associated with Church Farm are located to 50m to the south and southwest of the subject site curtilage.

Church Farm itself appears to be accessed via Crate Lane, which runs in a north to south direction 100m to the west of the site at its closest. Wellgrove Lane to the south of the site also appears to lead to Church Farm. Several other structures and an associated pump are present 50m to the northwest of the site.

1900 - 1902

No significant changes visible within 250m of the site.

1925 - 1931

A structure located 20m to the southwest of the site appears to have been demolished.

1956

One of the farm buildings located at Church Farm to the southeast of the site appears to have been extended.

CL/2879b/1CF 6 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

1978 - 1983

The site is now occupied by a large structure. Church Farm to the southwest, now comprises four structures and a slurry pit; of which the latter is located 20m to the west of the subject site.

Two buildings located 40m to the southeast appear to have been extended or altered in shape. The buildings located 50m to the northwest of the site are dwellings labelled as Church Farm Cottages.

1994

No significant changes visible within 250m of the site.

2001 - 2003

The subject building appears to have been extended southwards.

A slurry pit is also now present 80m to the southwest of the site.

2010 - 2019

The slurry bed located 20m to the west of the site appears to have been infilled.

2.3 Historical and archaeological records

Sedgehill is a village located in Wiltshire, 3 miles north of the town of Shaftesbury.

Settlement of the village has always been of a dispersed nature with farmsteads and hamlets linked by a network of lanes. The principal industry has been agriculture, although glove manufacturing had also been an important historical local trade.

By the 19th Century Sedgehill reportedly contained nineteen farms, twelve of which were less than 50 acres. Of these, there were 670 acres of pasture land maintaining 100 sheep and 187 cows, and some 328 acres of arable land.

Sheep grazing became almost non-existent by the turn of the 20th Century, and dairy farming had been concentrated into just ten farms at this time. In 1954 there were twelve recorded farms, which had fallen in number to ten by 1984.

CL/2879b/1CF 7 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

These changes in agriculture are also reflected in the population of the village throughout this time. More specifically, in 1801 the population was reportedly 199, whereupon by 1831 it had risen to 235, and by 1871 it stood at 216.

The village population then saw a dramatic fall in the first part of the 20th Century, whereby it was recorded as being just 120 in 1931, only to increase to just 162 by 1981. Subsequent census records only detail a combined population figure, of Sedgehill and neighbouring Semley.

2.4 Identified historical commercial/industrial sites

Through reference to historical data, there have been no potentially significant features within 200m of the site.

There have been no recorded historical tanks existing within 200m of the site, nor have there been any recorded historical energy features within this same distance.

There are no recorded historical petrol and fuel sites having operated within 200m of the subject site, nor are there any records of historical garages which were once in operation within this same distance.

More recent activities within the area are discussed below in Section 3.

3 Current setting

3.1 General

The subject building is located on a disused dairy farm and accessed via Crate Lane to the west. The outer-lying site has a southwesterly slope down towards Crate Lane.

The subject barn is a former cattle shed constructed from corrugated metal panelling with timber supports and concrete flooring. The latter also has some visible cracking. The building is currently unused apart from a small amount of general storage.

The barn is surrounded by a concrete yard area to the south and soft landscaping to the north. The former has some visible cracking.

To the west of the subject barn there is an area of soft landscaping, where a slurry bed had been previously located. This has since been drained and infilled using the spoil that had previously been removed from the bed during its construction.

To the southwest of the site is Church Farm, which comprises two agricultural barns. the first of which is located 30m to the southwest, which is constructed from concrete blocks and metal panelling, with (presumed) cement-bonded asbestos roofing and concrete flooring. The barn is currently used for the storage of hay, which prevented the condition of the flooring to be visually assessed during the walkover.

The second building is located 50m to the southwest of the site. This is constructed from brick with (presumed) cement-bonded asbestos roofing and concrete flooring. The floor is in a reasonable condition with only some small cracks and holes noted. The building was previously used for the storage of bulk tanks for dairy farming and general storage.

To the rear of this barn is a steel-framed barn with corrugated steel-panelled roofing.

Photographs 1 to 7 below show some of the features described above.

3.2 Development surrounding the site

Through reference to environmental datasheets, there has been one potentially significant feature which currently exists within 250m of the site.

This refers to the aforementioned slurry bed located to the west of the site which as stated is no longer in use, and has been infilled. It is noted also that there has also been a slurry pit located 80m to the southwest, which has also been infilled. This feature does not appear on the environmental datasheets.

There are no recorded petrol or fuel sites located within 250m of the site.

There are no underground high pressure oil or gas pipes recorded within 500m of the site, nor are there any underground electricity transmission cables within this distance.

4 Environmental setting

Ordnance Survey maps were used in conjunction with the MAGIC website (formerly English Nature’s Nature on the Map) in order to ascertain the location of sensitive habitat areas and other places of special or scientific interest within the vicinity of the site.

The site itself is not located within an environmentally sensitive area. The nearest of such is the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), located 455m to the east of the site.

There are also ten woodland areas located within 2km of the site; the closest of which is an ancient and semi-natural woodland area known as Hayes Copse, located 760m to the southwest of the site.

Figure 1 below shows the proximity of these highlighted areas.

5 Geology

5.1 Bedrock

Geological data states that the underlying geology of the specific area upon which this site lies consists of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. This sedimentary bedrock was formed approximately 155 million years ago in the Jurassic Period. The thickness of this formation at the subject site has not been confirmed.

5.2 Superficial deposits

This bedrock is reported to be overlain by river terrace deposits comprising clay, silt, sand and gravel. These were formed up to 3 million years ago during the Quaternary Period. The extent and depth of these deposits at the subject site has also not been confirmed.

5.3 Artificial deposits

BGS mapping does not record any artificial deposits overlying the geological deposits at this site location; however considering the characteristics of the site it is quite likely that there could be made-ground or possibly hardcore present beneath the concrete site surface and buildings.

5.4 Borehole data

British Geological Survey (BGS) borehole data has been consulted for this study. Two borehole logs have been detailed below, which are expected to share similar geological strata to that which is present beneath the site.

ST82NE21 refers to a borehole located to the south of East Knoyle (TP2) 730m to the southeast of the site, which continued to a depth of 2m.

CL/2879b/1CF 15 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

The log details 0.15m of topsoil underlain by 0.3m of dry, light-brown stiff/firm silty clay. This was subsequently underlain by 0.1m of slightly moist soft/firm mottled yellow/brown fissured silty clay with fine roots. For the next 0.4m very moist, medium grey mottled yellowish orange/brown very soft friable silty clay was present. This was underlain by 0.4m of wet, very grey mottled orange/brown very soft silty clay. From here to the base of the borehole wet, soft/firm dark-grey clay with rusty brown mottling in places was present. Groundwater was recorded at a depth of 1100mm (bgl). http://scans.bgs.ac.uk/sobi_scans/boreholes/394964/images/10722964.html

ST82NE17 refers to a borehole also located to the south of East Knoyle (TP6) some 790m to the southeast of the site, which continued to a depth of 4m.

The log details 0.13m of topsoil underlain by 0.2m of dry, medium-brown mottled orange/brown silty clay. This was subsequently underlain by 0.3m of slightly moist grey mottled orange/brown firm silty clay. For the next 0.4m moist, blue/grey mottled orange/brown orange/brown soft/firm fissured silty clay was present. This was underlain by 0.8m of moist, grey, slightly mottled orange soft silty clay. From here to the base of the borehole wet, brownish/grey soft/firm mudstone was present. Groundwater was recorded at a depth of 2200mm (bgl), with a final rest level of 3500mm. http://scans.bgs.ac.uk/sobi_scans/boreholes/394968/images/10722968.html

5.5 Radon affected areas

According to the Health Protection Agency (HPA) mapping, the site is not located within a radon affected area, as less than 1% of properties are expected to be above the ‘Action Level’.

Through reference to BR211, radon protective measures are not deemed necessary for any new residential development in this area.

5.6 Non-coal mining

According to the Coal Authority the site is not located within an identified mining or quarrying area.

6 Hydrology

6.1 Groundwater

The expected geology for the specific area of the site is bedrock of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. According to the Environment Agency this bedrock has been classified as an ‘unproductive’ aquifer, with low permeability status.

This is designated when there are rock layers or drift deposits that have negligible significance for water supply or river base-flow.

There are also expected to be superficial head deposits beneath the site, which have been classified as a ‘secondary (undifferentiated)’ aquifer. This classification is assigned when the geology has the potential to provide water storage, and/or supply, and river base-flow on a local scale.

In view of the generally impermeable bedrock in this area, it is not expected for there to be any significant groundwater presence at depth, at the site, although it is possible that there could be some shallow groundwater presence within the superficial deposits.

This absence of accessible or utilisable groundwater in this area is supported by the fact that the site does not lie within an Environment Agency designated Groundwater Source Protection Zone (SPZ). Similarly there are no groundwater abstraction licences within 2km of the subject site.

6.2 Surface water

There are no significant surface water features within 200m of the site, although it is quite possible that there may be some land drains in the vicinity of the farm.

With regards to the movement of surface run-off at the site, much of the land is hard-surfaced, and consequently it is not expected for water to percolate directly into the ground within such areas.

6.3 Flooding

Through reference to Environment Agency flood data the site falls within a designated Flood Zone 1, hence the annual probability of flooding from rivers here overall is deemed to be ‘low’.

Figure 2 below shows the presence of the nearest Flood Zones 2 and 3 located approximately 850m to the northwest.

These have been designated due to possible flooding of the River Loddon.

7 Waste and other infilled land

7.1 Landfill

Environment Agency data, environmental datasheets and historical maps referenced during the compiling of the report indicate that there have been no historic landfill sites within 1500m of the site.

7.2 Infill

Environmental datasheets indicate that no land infilling appears to have occurred within the surrounding area.

Despite this, it is understood that the former slurry bed, located to the west of the site has been infilled with soil; as has a former slurry pit 80m to the southwest of the site.

Of these, the slurry bed to the west has been infilled with the spoil previously removed from this feature, whereas the source of the infill used for the slurry pit is not known.

7.3 Other waste facilities

There have been no other recorded waste facilities within 250m of the site.

CL/2879b/1CF 19 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

8 Available contaminated land information

8.1 Statutory contaminated land

Environmental datasheets state that there are no sites determined as Contaminated Land under Part 2A of the EPA 1990 within 500m of the site.

8.2 Planning search

Previous planning applications have been referred to for this area of Shaftesbury in order to determine whether or not land contamination had been a material consideration in any corresponding decision notice, and if so, to consider any effect that these sites may have had on the subject site.

Through reference to Wiltshire Council planning records there appear to have been no requests for contaminated land investigations within the vicinity of the site; hence no other reports were consulted during the compiling of this current report.

8.3 Environmental incidents

Environmental datasheets state that there have been no recorded pollution incidents within 500m of the site.

8.4 Discharge consents

There are no active licensed discharge consents within 250m of the site, although there has been one historical licence, which was operational from 1963 to 1996. This was located 85m to the southwest of the site at 3 Church Farm, and relates to the discharge of water used for arable farming into unknown receiving water.

CL/2879b/1CF 20 Apple Environmental Limited

9 Conceptual site model

9.1 Sources

The subject barn has been present since at least the late 1970s.

The ground surface surrounding the subject barn is principally concrete covered, with an area of soft landscaping to the north. The concrete is cracked throughout, thereby possibly not providing complete protection to the underlying soils from any associated leakages or spillages. It is expected that agricultural machinery and/or vehicles may have been kept or used on the site, either within the barn or within the yard area.

It is also expected for the concrete to be underlain by hardcore and possibly made-ground; both of which has the potential to introduce ground contamination.

With regards to nearby off-site features, a slurry bed was once located to the west of the site and subsequently infilled within the last 10 years using the banked spoil surrounding the feature.

In addition, further farming activities to the south of the site; including a former slurry pit have been identified.

In considering these highlighted activities and features, potential contaminants would appear to include the following:

 heavy metals and other inorganics from general activities, demolition waste, or possible hardcore and made-ground deposits;

 hydrocarbon residue from the use/storage/repair of agricultural vehicles/machinery or possibly within hardcore or made-ground;

 asbestos residue originating from the existing structure, or within hardcore/made-ground; and

 ground gases from possible made-ground and on/off-site slurry residue.

CL/2879b/1CF 21 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

9.2 Receptors

The receptors that would need to be considered in this instance are:

 construction workers;

 future site occupiers; and

 buildings, structures and associated services.

The presence of groundwater beneath the subject barn is not known, however considering the information made available for this report, there is little to suggest that groundwater or other off-site media have been at risk from contamination in this location. These are therefore not considered to be viable receptors in this instance.

9.3 Pathways

The development proposal is to redevelop the existing agricultural building for residential use, with a small garden area.

In considering this, the potential contamination pathways to receptors would appear to include the following:

 direct and indirect ingestion of soil and soil-dust during construction and occupation;

 direct dermal contact with soil and soil-dust during construction and occupation;

 direct inhalation of soil-dust during construction and occupation;

 consumption of home-grown vegetables;

 inhalation or ignition of gases and/or vapours; and

 direct contact with main services and building fabric below ground.

CL/2879b/1CF 22 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

9.4 Possible pathway linkages

9.4.1 Heavy metals and other inorganics

 Direct and indirect ingestion of soil and dust - contaminated soil may be ingested by construction workers or future occupiers;

 dermal contact with soil and dust - inorganic contaminants may be absorbed through direct contact with contaminated soils by construction workers or future occupiers;

 inhalation of dust - airborne contaminated soil particles could be inhaled by construction workers or future occupiers; and

 contact with building materials and services - some inorganic contaminants within the soil may affect the properties of either through direct contact.

9.4.2 Hydrocarbons (petroleum and poly-aromatic)

 Direct and indirect ingestion of soil and dust - hydrocarbon contaminated soil may be ingested by construction workers or future occupiers;

 dermal contact with soil and dust - hydrocarbon contaminants may be absorbed through direct contact with contaminated soils by construction workers or future occupiers;

 inhalation of dust (indoors and outdoors) - airborne hydrocarbon contaminated soil particles could be inhaled by construction workers or future occupiers;

 inhalation of vapours (indoors and outdoors) - hydrocarbon vapours may be inhaled by construction workers or future occupiers; and

 contact with building materials and services - hydrocarbons within soil may affect the properties of either through direct contact.

9.4.3 Ground gases

 Inhalation - toxic ground gases may be present due to the possible breakdown of organic material within any made-ground or slurry residue, such that these could be inhaled by construction workers and future occupiers of the dwellings; and

CL/2879b/1CF 23 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

 ignition - explosive gases may be present due to the possible breakdown of organic material within made-ground or slurry residue.

9.4.4 Asbestos

 Inhalation of dust - airborne fibres may be inhaled by construction workers, or future occupiers.

9.5 Assumptions and uncertainties

9.5.1 Site history

It has been assumed that all uses of the site have been identified. Where there is any uncertainty a precautionary approach will generally have been made.

9.5.2 Geology, surface water and groundwater

It has been assumed that the geological map is representative of the site; however any unexpected variation could affect the risk to groundwater beneath the site (if present). In addition to this, the nature and presence of groundwater beneath the site is similarly not known.

This includes the possible rest level and flow direction; although this report has concluded that a significant groundwater presence is unlikely in this location due to only limited superficial deposits and impermeable bedrock.

9.5.3 Contaminants

Although the presence of several contaminants is possible, their nature, location, concentration and mobility are not known.

CL/2879b/1CF 24 Apple Environmental Limited

Environmental desk study - Building 2, 1 Church Farm, Sedgehill

9.5.4 Pathways

The absence of preferential flow paths such as pipe work, drains and service runs has not been confirmed.

9.5.5 Future site use

The likelihood or details of any future alteration or redevelopment of the site is not known, hence risk can only be ascertained with regard to the proposed layout and use.

9.6 Assessment of risk

The perceived risk associated with the above identified linkages has been assessed below in Table 1, based upon the identified sources, pathways and receptors.

The corresponding risk algorithm used has been shown below in Figure 3, where risk has been assessed on the understanding that the site will be developed for residential use with a small area of soft recreational landscaping.

10 Summary and recommendations

10.1 Summary

This report has highlighted the fact that the subject building has long been used for agricultural purposes; the precise uses of which are not fully known, although it has most recently been associated with dairy farming.

As a former agricultural building it must be considered possible that activities could have occurred in such a way that they may have had some degree of adverse effect on the land. It is recognised that some of the site land area has concrete cover, however, not only is this in poor condition in places, but there are also areas without impermeable hard cover.

The conceptual site model has therefore identified a potential contamination concern due to on-site features, namely; general farming activities, the storage and use of farm vehicles and machinery and other items and the possible presence of asbestos materials and slurry residue/made- ground/hardcore beneath the surface of the site.

In addition to the possibility of residual soil contamination, the conceptual model has also identified pathway linkages, suggesting that there could be some degree of unacceptable risk to receptors, namely: construction workers and future site occupiers, along with the proposed buildings and associated underground services.

Groundwater and other off-site receptors have also been considered, but are not believed to be at significant risk from in-situ or migrating contamination.

10.2 Recommendations

In view of the above conclusion further assessment of risk will need to be undertaken, in the form of an intrusive site investigation.

This should concentrate on areas where contamination hotspots may possibly exist, although specific regard should be paid to areas where soft recreational landscaping is to be introduced.

It is firstly recommended that the sub-surface is physically characterised to a depth of at least 1000mm below the surface in order to determine the nature of the sub-surface material and presence of made-ground, in at least 2 separate locations, as proposed below in Figure 4.

Secondly, representative soil samples should (at least) be obtained from each location at depths of 100 - 200mm and 500 - 600mm below the surface; thereby representing the direct and indirect soil contact zones.

Samples should be analysed for the determinands highlighted in the conceptual model.

Figure 4 Proposed soil sampling locations

Proposed sampling locations

Finally it is recommended that an informal observation strategy should be put in place during all ground-works that may take place as part of this redevelopment. Care should be taken during the working of the site to investigate any soils, which are suspected by sight, odour or suspicion, to be contaminated.

In the event of any discovery of potentially contaminated soils or materials, the location, type and quantity should be recorded, and the contaminated land officer for the Wiltshire Council notified immediately. Approval should be sought prior to continuing groundworks or implementing any mitigation.

It is suggested that this proposed action should provide satisfactory reassurance in this instance. The findings from the investigation should allow any uncertainties or presumptions within the conceptual site model to be readdressed, and the risk reassessed accordingly.

Contacts This section of the report provides contact points for statutory bodies and data providers that may be able to provide further information on issues raised within this report. Alternatively, Groundsure provide a free Technical Helpline (08444 159000) for further information and guidance. Note: Maps Only certain features are placed on the maps within the report. All features represented on maps found within this search are given an identification number. This number identifies the feature on the mapping and correlates it to the additional information provided below. This identification number precedes all other information and takes the following format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proximity that the numbers would obscure each other a letter identifier is used instead to represent the features. (e.g. Three features which overlap may be given the identifier “A” on the map and would be identified separately as features 1A, 3A, 10A on the data tables provided). Where a feature is reported in the data tables to a distance greater than the map area, it is noted in the data table as “Not Shown”. All distances given in this report are in Metres (m). Directions are given as compass headings such as N: North, E: East, NE: North East from the nearest point of the study site boundary.

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

The data considers the probability that the flood defences will overtop or breach by considering their location, type, condition and standard of protection.

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

7.7 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

7.7.1 British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site Identified Clearwater Flooding or Superficial Deposits Flooding Superficial Deposits Flooding

Notes: Groundwater flooding may either be associated with shallow unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers which overlie unproductive aquifers (Superficial Deposits Flooding), or with unconfined aquifers (Clearwater Flooding).

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

Potential below Surface Where potential for groundwater flooding of property situated below ground level is indicated, this means that given the geological conditions there may be a groundwater flooding hazard to basements and other below surface infrastructure. Unless other relevant information, e.g. records of previous flooding, suggests groundwater flooding has occurred before in this area you need take no further action in relation to groundwater flooding hazard. If there are records of previous incidences of groundwater flooding, then is recommended that other information e.g. rainfall history, property type, and land drainage information in addition to previous records of flooding be investigated in order to establish relative, but not absolute, risk of groundwater flooding.

7.8 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result High

Notes: Groundwater flooding is defined as the emergence of groundwater at the ground surface or the rising of groundwater into man-made ground under conditions where the normal range of groundwater levels is exceeded.

The confidence rating is on a threefold scale - Low, Moderate and High. This provides a relative indication of the BGS confidence in the accuracy of the susceptibility result for groundwater flooding. This is based on the amount and precision of the information used in the assessment. In areas with a relatively lower level of confidence the susceptibility result should be treated with more caution. In other areas with higher levels of confidence the susceptibility result can be used with more confidence.

9.2.1 Radon Affected Areas

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

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

Guidance: The 1:10,000 scale geological interpretation is the most detailed generally available from BGS and is the scale at which most geological surveying is carried out in the field. The database is presented as four types of geology (artificial, mass movement, superficial and bedrock), although not all themes are mapped or available on every map sheet. Therefore a coverage layer showing the availability of the four themes is presented above.

The National Ground Subsidence rating is obtained through the 6 natural ground stability hazard datasets, which are supplied by the British Geological Survey (BGS).

The following GeoSure data represented on the mapping is derived from the BGS Digital Geological map of Great Britain at 1:50,000 scale.

What is the maximum hazard rating of natural subsidence within the study site** boundary? Low 6.1 Shrink-Swell Clays

The following Shrink Swell information provided by the British Geological Survey:

Distance ID Direction Hazard Rating Details (m) Ground conditions predominantly medium plasticity. Do not plant trees with high soil moisture demands near to buildings. For new build, consideration should be given to advice published by the National House Building Council (NHBC) and the Building Research 1 0.0 On Site Low Establishment (BRE). There is a possible increase in construction cost to reduce potential shrink-swell problems. For existing property, there is a possible increase in insurance risk, especially during droughts or where vegetation with high moisture demands is present.
