A Proposed Development Layout Plan is included within Appendix A. 1.3 Limitations 1.3.1 This report has been prepared for the client and their appointed agents only and should not be relied upon by any third party without the written permission of Patrick Parsons. If any unauthorised third party comes into possession of this report, they rely on it at their own risk and the authors do not owe them any Duty of Care or Skill. It is based on and limited to an assessment of the information and ground conditions identified here. Patrick Parsons is not responsible for ground conditions not revealed during investigations undertaken by third parties and have reviewed the information presented in good faith. 1.4 Aim of Phase I Site Appraisal 1.4.1 The liet’s speifi euieets ee to udetake a desk ased Phase I “ite Appaisal. The principal objectives are as follows: Obtain information about the likely soil and groundwater conditions within the area of the site. Determine the possible ground related geotechnical and contamination hazards within the site boundaries that may affect the proposed development. Provide preliminary development recommendations. Provide advice on further works required for the cost-effective reduction of risks to the development and procedures likely to satisfy regulators. 1.5 Information Sources 1.5.1 This Phase I Site Appraisal is based on published geological and environmental information supplemented by an environmental data report. Phase I Site Appraisal, Rosliston Road, Burton-on-Trent Page | 4 B15350 2.0 Phase I Desk Study 2.1 Site Description 2.1.1 The site is located off Rosliston Road, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire and is approximately 2.2km southeast of the town centre. The grid reference for the site is SK253209 and nearest postcode is DE15 9RG. A site location plan is presented in Appendix A. 2.1.2 The site is a roughly rectangular shaped plot of land covering an area of approximately 0.52ha. The site currently comprises a used car sales pitch, a vehicle maintenance business and a car paint spraying business. An area of open scrubland is present across the east of the site. 2.1.3 At the front of the site in the area adjacent to Rosliston Road there is what appears to be the remnants of a fuel pump station and there are a number of manhole covers in two areas which are likely to be associated with an underground tank farm and an interceptor. 2.1.4 The site currently fronts onto Rosliston Road along the western boundary, with residential housing beyond. The site is bounded to the north, east and south by residential housing, a medical centre is also present along the northern boundary. Mature and semi-mature trees are present along the eastern and southern boundaries. 2.1.5 The site gently rises up from Rosliston Road towards the rear of the site and the land beyond the eastern boundary at the rear of the site is at higher elevation with retaining walls locally present. 2.1.6 A site features plan is presented in Appendix A. 2.2 Site History 2.2.1 The earliest historical mapping reviewed (1883) shows the site as a large detached house with a single storey row of outhouses to the rear, these two structures remain to present day. A second row of outhouses/possible stable block are recorded on the eastern boundary but are demolished by 1900. From 1967 a garage is shown in the west of the site. It is considered likely that underground fuel storage tanks may be/have been present at the site. A brick yard and associated clay pit is shown adjacent to the eastern boundary from the earliest mapping until 1975, when residential housing was constructed across the area; as this area is raised in relation to site it suggests that the clay pit may have been filled prior to development. 2.2.2 In the wider vicinity, the site was set within a predominantly residential/agricultural area, which has generally become increasingly residential throughout the 20th Century. 2.2.3 The historical maps reviewed are presented in Appendix B 2.3 Geology 2.3.1 The site is recorded to be underlain by the Taporley Siltstone Formation consisting of red-brown siltstones interlaminated with red-brown mudstones and grey-brown sandstones. No superficial Phase I Site Appraisal, Rosliston Road, Burton-on-Trent Page | 5 B15350 deposits are recorded below the site; however, given the previous development it is likely that localised deposits of made ground will be present. 2.4 Mining and Quarrying 2.4.1 The site is recorded to be within a coal mining affected area. The Coal Authority Mining Report confirms that the property is not within the likely zone of influence of any past underground workings or within the boundary of an opencast site. The Coal Authority Mining Report obtained for the site is included within Appendix C. 2.5 Hydrogeology and Hydrology 2.5.1 The underlying bedrock geology is recorded as a Secondary B Aquifer. There are no source protection zones, potable water or groundwater abstraction licences within 250m of the site boundaries. 2.5.2 There are no surface water features within 250m of the site; the site is not recorded to be within a flood zone. 2.6 Environmental Data 2.6.1 There are no active Environment Agency registered landfill sites within 1000m of the site 2.6.2 A search of the petroleum licensing records has been commissioned to determine whether the suspected underground storage tanks were used for fuel storage and what steps if any were undertaken to decommission them; the findings of the search will be issued under separate cover. 2.6.3 The environmental data report obtained for the site is presented in Appendix D. The report does not highlight any additional significant features other than those discussed in other sections of this report. 2.7 Radon 2.7.1 The site is not in an area where radon protections measures are required. 2.8 Contaminants of Concern 2.8.1 Limited thicknesses of made ground are likely to be present across the site associated with its previous usage. Petrol/diesel fuels and solvents associated with vehicle body spraying may be peset aoss the site due to the site’s previous use as a garage and vehicle body spraying workshop. Phase I Site Appraisal, Rosliston Road, Burton-on-Trent Page | 6 B15350 3.0 Phase I Conceptual Model 3.1.1 The preceding information has been assessed and a conceptual model produced following current relevant guidance. 3.1.2 The site is currently for car sales, vehicle maintenance and vehicle spraying, and has formerly been used as a garage. Therefore, the risk of significant soil contamination being present is considered to be moderate. It is considered that the infilled clay pit adjacent to the eastern boundary may present a ground gas risk to the site. 3.1.3 In terms of human health, the primary receptors are end-users of the proposed residential development and construction workers. The pathways include direct contact with contaminated soil and soil dust, ingestion of contaminated soil and dust, consumption of home-grown vegetables that have taken up contamination (end users only) and the indoor/outdoor inhalation of ground gas and soil vapour. Given the lack of a significant source, it is considered the risk to human health will be moderate. 3.1.4 In terms of controlled waters the primary receptor is the Secondary B Aquifer (Taporley Formation). The main pathway would be through leaching and groundwater transport. It is considered that the near surface geology will have weathered to an impermeable clay and therefore risk to controlled waters will be low. 3.1.5 The Phase I conceptual model is illustrated below.
