INTRODUCTION Purpose and structure of the report The Site Selection Methodology (May 2009) paper (paragraphs 2.3.29 - 2.3.34) outlines the process to be used to create the preferred list of shaft sites, and this process also applies to CSO sites. Paragraph 2.3.31 lists the type of general considerations that will be addressed in each site suitability report, but they depend on the relevance to the site and professional judgement made in the assessments. This report was prepared through the assessment of information from the perspective of a number of technical disciplines: Engineering, Planning, Environment, Property and Community. The reports have been prepared on the basis of the information listed in Appendix 1 - Sources of Information, and this level of information is considered to be appropriate to the current stage. The Background Technical Paper provides information on the requirements for different site types, their sizes and typical activities/facilities within the sites. Each site suitability report considers a particular site on its own merits. In addition, an engineering options report was produced. Information from both of these reports will feed into the technical assessment of how well the site may fit in with tunnel design options, ensuring combinations of sites spread across the length of the tunnel route provide a reasonable spatial distribution of sites (that will best assist with the construction of the tunnel, operation and maintenance). This is considered in the Preferred Scheme Report. Background The process for selecting sites is set out in the Site Selection Methodology (May 2009) paper. All sites have previously passed through the following parts of Stage 1: Part 1A - Creation of the long list of potential shaft (and CSO) sites Part 1B - Creation of a short list of potential shaft (and CSO) sites o o o Table 2.2: Long list of shaft (and CSO) sites - an assessment against set considerations and values Table 2.3: Draft short list of shaft (and CSO) sites - assessment against a list of detailed considerations Workshops to consider each site to arrive at a short list of sites.

The final part of Stage 1 includes this report. The following is an overall summary of all elements that apply to all the sites on the final short list: Part 1C - Creation of the Preferred List of shaft (and CSO) sites - site data, site visits, site suitability reports, engineering options report and optioneering workshops that will result in the Preferred Scheme Report.
1.3 1.3.1
Consultation The Thames Water project team held meetings with London local authorities, statutory and other stakeholders to review the provisional short list of shaft and CSO sites. All general and site specific comments can be found in a separate report titled Consultation on the Short List of Sites: Consultation Feedback Report. These comments were considered to help determine the final short list of sites, but they were also considered at the optioneering workshops. Further meetings were held with London local authorities, statutory and other stakeholders between January and March 2010. Comments are included in this report.

SITE INFORMATION Site and surroundings This site is one of the shortlisted sites for Falconbrook Pumping Station CSO. This section provides an overview of all the site information that will be used by one or more disciplines to assess the site in sections 3 to 9 of this report. Site C09XC is located in Bridges Court Car Park in Battersea, within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The site is roughly triangular in shape and approximately 80% is a hard-surfaced car park associated with surrounding uses, including Dovercourt Volkswagen salesroom/garage, adjacent offices, Prices candle factory and potentially the adjacent residential properties, although no signposts were noted that indicated resident parking during the site visit. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. A footpath runs along the southern boundary and there is an area of landscape between the path and car parking area. The nearest residential properties are located immediately adjacent to the south of the site. To the north of the site, there is a new mixed-use development, Bridges Wharf, which is still under the final stages of construction and ranges from six to thirteen storeys. Further north of this development site and approximately 100m from Bridges Court Car Park is London Heliport. To the east of the site is vacant land, and Prices Candle Factory and Showroom, with associated parking. To the south, there is a residential development, including a five-storey block immediately adjacent to the site and offices on the ground floor. There is also a four-storey building approximately 50m away, which appears to be residential/offices with parking on the ground floor. To the west, there is access to the Thames Path and temporary offices associated with the new mixed-use development. The site is within a number of designated areas, including Thames Policy Area and Archaeological Priority Area. All the mapped designations are shown on the planning and environment plans in Appendix 3. Photographs of the site and surroundings, together with an aerial photograph of the site, are attached as Appendix 4. There is road access to the site via TLRN (A3205 York Road) and Bridges Court. There is no rail network local to the site. The nearest rail station is Clapham Junction, 0.8km from the site. The site is landlocked but is less than 100m from the water frontage and there are no existing jetty/wharfage facilities on the river. A transport plan for the site is attached as Appendix 5. Third-party assets and significant utilities are listed below and are shown on the services and geology plan in Appendix 6: Prices Court seven-storey residential buildings on the outside south-western part of the site (maximum clearance to proposed shaft location approximately 20m) New development of a multi-storey building on the outside north-western part of the site (maximum clearance to proposed shaft location approximately 50m) Wimbledon to Pimlico cable tunnel Falconbrook 1.982m diameter outlet sewer through the centre of the site London Battersea Heliport on the outside north-western part of the site. Maximum clearance to the proposed shaft location is approximately 200m.

Type of site The site C09XC is being considered as a CSO site to intercept the Falconbrook Pumping Station CSO. PROPOSED USE OF SITE CONSTRUCTION PHASE The proposed construction phase layouts for the CSO site are located in Appendix 7 Construction Phase Layout, and are based on a preliminary assessment. The construction phase layout drawings are illustrative and show: the layout as CSO site potential access point.

3.1.3
These drawings provide initial preliminary schematic layouts that have not been optimised. If the site proceeds to the next stage as a preferred site, construction phase layouts would be optimised to minimise impacts. Photographs of typical activities associated with the shaft construction phase are provided in Appendix 7. Potential above ground construction features include: approximately 3m high hoarding around the site boundary welfare facilities, temporary structures, approximately 3m high grout plant, approximately 3m to 5m high, including silos mobile crane, approximately 30m high (maximum and not for full construction duration).

PROPOSED USE OF SITE OPERATIONAL PHASE Introduction The indicative operational phase layout for the CSO site is located in Appendix 8 Operational Phase Layout, and is based on a preliminary assessment. The generic elevations of structures shown on the operational phase layout are located in Appendix 8 and provide an illustration of typical examples of the permanent structures which are applicable to CSO sites. The above ground infrastructure at this site is likely to comprise a ventilation column 10m high and 3m diameter, a ventilation building 5m x 15m x 5m high and a 20m x 10m top
a
4.1.3
It was anticipated that the ventilation column at shaft sites would be 10m high when the assessment in this report was undertaken. Although this was subsequently changed to 15m high, the assessment was not revised as it was considered that the difference would not change any disciplines conclusion on the suitability of the site.

structure with openings. The top structure is to provide access and egress into the main shaft and flap valve chamber. 4.1.4 The top structures are envisaged to be finished at a level of 107m tunnel datum (TD) (7mAOD), and since the ground level mean value at this site is 104mTD (4mAOD), the top structures would be raised to approximately 3m above the current ground level. For further information on the generic layout of this top structure, refer to Appendix 8. A hardstanding would be provided to the top structures. The site would not be fenced. Preliminary data associated with the operational phase are provided in Table 4.1. Table 4.1 Operational phase data Level of inspections and maintenance and likely working hours, ie, (night/day/weekend) frequency of visits 1 daytime visit every six months for electrical/instrument inspection. An additional 1 week maintenance period for tunnel/shaft inspection required per 10 years that could be night/day/weekend working. 1 van visit every six months. An additional 1 week period of 2 to 10 movements per day (estimated several vans and 2 cranes) every 10 years. 4.2 4.2.1 Restoration and after-use The portion of the site not occupied by the permanent works would be restored to its original condition on completion of the construction works. If any buildings were demolished, these would not be reinstated unless required. ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT Access This section should be read in conjunction with Section 7.2. Road 5.1.2 5.1.3 5.1.4 There is road access to the site via TLRN (A3205 York Road). For the construction phase, there would be two access points: one from Bridges Court and the other from York Road (A3205), to create a one-way system. Bridges Court carriageway is an unadopted road used to access the London Heliport, Dovercourt car showrooms and the Bridge Wharf development. The use of the road by construction vehicles would require careful management to minimise disruption to existing users. For the operational phase, access to the shaft would be from Bridges Court. Rail 5.1.6 There is no rail network local to this site. The nearest rail station is Clapham Junction, 0.8km from the site. However, rail access is not considered to be a significant factor for CSO sites.

It was anticipated that the elevation of top structures at both CSO and shaft sites would be finished at 107mTD when the assessment in this report was undertaken. Although this was subsequently changed to 104.5mTD, the assessment was not revised as it was considered that the difference would not change any disciplines conclusion on the suitability of the site.

River 5.1.7 River access and jetty/wharfage facilities are not a requirement for CSO sites. The site is landlocked and remote from the river, therefore river access is probably not viable. Construction works considerations No demolition is required. Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the main items in this area of concern are the neighbouring buildings, the river wall, the heliport, the Wimbledon to Pimlico cable tunnel and the Falconbrook 1.98m ID outlet sewer through the centre of the site. Construction methods would be adopted, as appropriate, to mitigate potential settlement of these assets. London Battersea Heliport is on the outside north-eastern part of the site. Maximum clearance to the proposed shaft location is approximately 200m. Consultation with the Civil Aviation Authority and the heliport operators would be required. The height of the crane required during the shaft construction process would be below that of the adjacent buildings. The establishment of a working area on the car park site for the construction phase will reduce the number of available parking places for the Dovercourt car showroom. This may be mitigated by the possible provision of temporary elevated car park decking on unaffected areas of the site during the works. The construction process would be carried out during daylight hours to minimise the effect upon local residents and businesses, although a brief period of 24-hour working may be required during the construction of the connection tunnel. The location of the drop shaft and configuration of the construction site would maximise the clearance to adjacent properties as far as practicable. It is likely that the proposed works can be constructed within the overall construction programme. The interception chamber and connection culvert to the drop shaft would both be within the site and therefore require no additional consideration. Permanent works considerations The top structures to the drop shaft and flap valve chamber would be 2m above original ground level. Health and safety There is the possibility of contaminated ground from the sites previous use as a candle factory and petrol station. There are no other unusual health and safety issues with this site.

Planning applications and permissions An initial desktop search of the London Borough of Wandsworth online planning applications database identified the following planning applications submitted within the last five years applicable to the site. Search results returned for postcode SW11 3RD relate to redevelopment and variation of conditions for the former Prices candle factory site located adjacent to York Place. No applications for C09XC were found using the site address, site name or postcode. Planning context The following is a summary of the relevant local planning policies and designations affecting the site, taken from the current statutory development plan for the borough. The local plan comprises the saved policies from the Wandsworth Unitary Development Plan, adopted August 2003, and the Consolidated London Plan, adopted February 2008. The planning designations and policies that are applicable to the site are detailed below. Policies R1 and R2, Thames Policy Area the site is entirely within the Thames Policy Area. Policy R1 states that development of sites of 0.5 hectare and over would only be permitted if it includes a mix of uses. Policy R2 states that the development of sites on the Thames riverside would not be permitted unless provision is made for a riverside walk, incorporating provision for cyclists. Policy TBE14, Archaeological Priority Area the site is entirely within an archaeological priority area. Policy TEB14 states that where development involving ground disturbance is proposed in archaeological priority areas, the council would require developers to make provision for archaeological investigation. Normally, the submission of an archaeological evaluation report would be requested prior to determination. Archaeological investigation may also be required elsewhere in sites of archaeological potential. Policy GEN12, Housing in determining proposals for development, the council will seek to protect and enhance the character and amenity of residential areas. Consultation comments A series of consultations on the shortlisted sites were held with London local authorities, statutory and other pan-London stakeholders during July to September 2009 and January to March 2010. This section summarises factual comments that have been made by consultees, and which have informed the SSR assessments. London Borough of Wandsworth

Other statutory consultees 6.4.7 6.5 6.5.1 6.5.2 No comment. Planning comments Few planning designations are applicable to the site and these have been identified and described in Section 6.3. The Thames Policy Area encourages a mix of uses and provision of a riverside walk as part of new development proposals. Given the current use of the site, and its location set back from the river frontage, it is considered that these requirements should not be applicable to the use of site C09XC for the Thames Tunnel Project. The proposal site is situated close to residential dwellings. Mitigation is likely to be required to avoid adverse impacts upon residential amenity from noise, dust and increased traffic movements. Replacement provision of car parking, which would be displaced by the construction works and is used by adjacent commercial businesses, is likely to be required within close proximity of the site. London Heliport is located approximately 100m to the north of Bridges Court car park. Given the relative height of buildings surrounding the site, and the fact that aircraft take off and land on a pontoon in the river, it is unlikely that the proposed construction works would interfere with the continued operation of the heliport. The construction works and remaining top structures may require mitigation against potential visual impacts to ensure they do not result in overly prominent development in this location and would not unacceptably obstruct local views around the site. The site falls within a designated archaeological priority area. The appropriate level of site investigation should be agreed with the LPA in accordance with policies TBE14 and TBE15. Further appraisal of the archaeological potential on the site is provided in Section 7. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport The site is less suitable as a CSO site as a significant amount of parking would be displaced by the site, with limited potential to provide alternative parking nearby. The site would utilise an existing access from Bridges Court. An alternative/additional access from the TLRN (A3205) could also be used to enable a one-way system through the site. Parking restrictions would be required along Bridges Court to prevent on-street parking near the access, which could obstruct construction vehicles. The access route to the TLRN (A3205) is otherwise unconstrained, as the TLRN (A3205) is only 20m away from the site. The use of rail is unlikely to be feasible as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material and the route to rail at Clapham Junction passes through a high street area, which would require the removal of on-street parking along Pier Terrace. River access is not required for a CSO site as excavated material is to be transported away by road to the main site. Some workforce parking could be provided onsite, with limited potential on surrounding roads. There is reasonable potential for the workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. Archaeology Based on current information, this site is suitable as no archaeological receptors are recorded within the site. Available geotechnical information suggests a 3m thickness of

made and superficial ground within the site; this sequence may include archaeology. Given the extent and potential high value of archaeological remains in the proximity of this site, it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present. 7.3.2 While no direct evidence has been revealed, waterlogged remains and peat deposits containing archaeological material of high or medium value may also be present. Built heritage and townscape This site is suitable as it will not result in any direct impacts upon the historic built environment, and indirect impacts would be limited to one conservation area. This site could, however, potentially result in direct adverse impacts on the character of the adjacent residential property and local views, especially during construction. Mitigation in the form of the scheme design and/or screening of the site would minimise any adverse impacts. Water resources hydrogeology and surface water In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable because the drop shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non-aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 3.9m above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. No impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected. The superficial deposits are Kempton Gravel/alluvium, which are classified as a minor aquifer at the site. There is likely to be limited impact on flow in the shallow aquifer due to the use of a diaphragm wall or caissons. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution, although standard mitigation will be required. Ecology This site is suitable as a CSO site and may require only basic ecological surveys, if selected. Flood risk This site is suitable because the site is defended from flooding from the River Thames and there is space for SuDS. Air quality This site is less suitable for use as a CSO site as there are residential properties in close proximity to the site and there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact on these properties. These impacts could be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality, although this can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise This site is suitable, as although sensitive receptors are located close to the site, the existing noise levels are thought to be relatively high due to the sites proximity to the A3209. The number of HGVs anticipated is also fairly low and therefore there is unlikely to be a large noise impact resulting from their movements. Site perimeter barriers will be largely ineffectual due to the height of some of the receptors. Land quality

7.10.1 This site is less suitable as there is high potential for contamination from numerous historical onsite and offsite activities. This has the potential to impact onsite workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact/vapour inhalation exposure pathways. Additionally, the potential exists for contamination of the River Thames itself.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is in the St Marys Park ward of the London Borough of Wandsworth. Statistics from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2001 Census data show the following indicators for the ward, in comparison to the rest of the borough, London, and England as a whole: Higher rate of full-time employees and self-employed people. Higher rate of employment in professional occupations and a lower proportion of people working in more manual labour jobs. Substantially higher proportion of people educated to Level 4/5 (degree level). Fewer people aged 24 or under, or 45 and over, with comparably more people in their twenties and thirties. Approximately 77% people are white and around 72% of people were born in the UK. A higher proportion of residents consider themselves to have a good state of health.
8.1.2
Overall, the community profile suggests that this is a population of mainly young professionals. Issues and impacts Due to the proposed location of the CSO engineering works, the greatest potential impacts from a community perspective appear likely to be the loss of car parking and the disturbance to surrounding residential properties. The car parking likely to be lost through use of the site appears to be used by the Volkswagen garage, adjacent offices and residential properties, so its loss could have a direct impact on both local businesses and residents. Residents of Prices Court and, to a lesser extent, workers in the surrounding business units, are likely to face disruption from works onsite. Properties being developed to the north of the site may also be affected if these become occupied before work onsite is completed. York Gardens, with its playground and community centre opposite the site to the east, are separated from the site by the four-lane York Road. The impact on users of the gardens is therefore likely to be minimal. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction The identified site is part of a larger area of land used for car parking at the junction of Bridges Court and York Road. The area is currently occupied by a number of commercial units within an old factory and nearby residential properties, plus the associated car park. No inspection of the site has been undertaken for the purpose of preparing this property assessment. Maps, plans and aerial imagery have been relied on. Crown Land and Special Land comments The site does not include Crown Land or Special Land within the meaning of Acquisition of Land Act 1981.

Land to be acquired The site required during the construction phase takes up approximately 40% of the current car park. A relatively small area is required permanently for the operational structures, measuring approximately 20m by 20m. Planning enquiries suggest there have been no planning applications on the site during the last five years. The referencing exercise indicates the property is in private ownership but has not revealed any leases or tenancies. The entries in the 2005 Rating List relate to commercial properties at 100 to 110 York Road, including seven assessments with an aggregate rateable value of 134,725. The compensation assessment assumes that the working areas would be acquired temporarily via the acquisition of new rights for the period of the works stated in the engineering section above. It also assumes that the smaller area needed to house the operational plant would be acquired permanently. No rights of way or easements have been included in the assessment of this site acquisition cost. Property valuation comments Compensation for the acquisition of new rights is normally based on the diminution in value to the land caused by the acquisition. Compensation for the permanent acquisition of land is normally based on market value. However, compensation for the permanent acquisition of unusual types of property, where there is no general market, can be assessed on the basis of the cost of equivalent reinstatement at a new site, but there must be a genuine intention to reinstate. If compensation is assessed on a diminution in value basis for the new rights (temporary occupation during works, access rights during works, access rights for operational purposes) and on a market value basis for the permanent acquisition, the costs are likely to be relatively low and therefore acceptable. It is understood that the land would be reinstated after the works are complete as a part of the engineering work and therefore reinstatement costs are not included in the compensation assessment. As the construction phase plan shows, the temporary working space would require the temporary loss of part of the car park and the loss of the access to the adjoining car park, which is used by the motor dealership in Bridges Court. Redesigning the layout of the working site would enable the use of the adjoining car park to continue, which would mitigate the acquisition cost. Siting the permanent structures as near as possible to the Bridges Court/York Road junction might reduce the impact on the development value of the remaining site after construction, thus mitigating the acquisition cost. Disturbance compensation comments As parking facilities would be lost during the construction phase, it is assumed that a number of businesses would be affected and compensation claims would follow. Enabling access to the adjoining car park to be maintained would mitigate possible disturbance claims. The assessment includes likely disturbance compensation. Offsite statutory compensation comments There should be limited potential for offsite statutory compensation under Section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, as there is unlikely to be any physical interference with public or private property rights. There should also be limited potential for claims under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973, as the completed works are unlikely to emit physical factors, such as noise, Page 10

10.1.1 The conclusions presented in this section are drawn from each disciplines assessment, and are designed to inform the workshop where a final conclusion on whether the site moves forward as one of the preferred sites or not. 10.2 Engineering
10.2.1 This site is suitable as a CSO site because it is of adequate size, requires no demolition and offers good access by road. It is also only a short distance (0.8 km) from Clapham Junction railway station for personnel access. 10.3 Planning
10.3.1 On balance, the site is considered less suitable as a CSO site. 10.3.2 The site is located in close proximity to residential accommodation and appropriate mitigation would be required to ensure the temporary construction works and permanent after-use structures do not unacceptably impact upon the amenity of adjacent residents in terms of noise, dust, traffic movements and visual appearance of the site. Furthermore, the potential loss of residents car parking would require further investigation, as well as the potential requirement to provide alternative parking for existing users. 10.4 Environment
10.4.1 Overall, the site is suitable as a CSO site, although mitigation would be required to enable the site to be used. 10.4.2 Based on current information, the site is suitable from the perspective of archaeology, built heritage and townscape, water resources, ecology, flood risk and noise. 10.4.3 This site is considered less suitable from the perspective of transport, air quality and land quality. 10.4.4 Overall, the site is considered suitable, subject to further investigation of whether transport, air quality and land quality impacts can be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations would include the following: Transport measures to mitigate for loss of existing parking Air quality measures to ensure dust is adequately mitigated for the closest residential receptors Land quality any required remediation of contamination (at this high risk site) and/or measures to ensure no mobilisation of contaminants retained in situ. 10.5 Socio-economic and community
10.5.1 This location appears suitable for use as a CSO site. However, its use is likely to have a number of impacts on the local community which would need to be mitigated. 10.5.2 The temporary loss of the car parking and the potential long-term reduction in the site size (due to the scale of after-use structures required onsite) is likely to affect both local businesses and residents that use the site. It may be difficult to provide additional car Page 11
parking facilities in the local area for surrounding businesses and any residential users, as the site is in a heavily built-up area and adjacent to a main road. 10.5.3 Local residential properties overlooking the site are also likely to be affected by visual and noise disturbance. Mitigation would likely involve noise reduction measures. 10.5.4 York Gardens, containing a playground and community centre, is separated from the site by York Road, a four-lane road. The impact on the use of the gardens may therefore be minimal. If mitigation is required, this could involve noise minimisation and discussions around site operating times. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 The site should be classified as suitable from a property perspective, on the grounds of cost. 10.6.2 The advantage of this site is that it is of modest value and the acquisition cost should be reasonable. The disadvantage is that parking facilities to nearby businesses would be lost during construction, and a small area would be lost permanently.

APPENDIX 9 ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL TABLES
Transport Site considerations Access to road network Comments Temporary construction and permanent access would be onto Bridges Court utilising an existing access. An additional/alternative construction access could be taken from the TLRN, York Road (A3205) where a one-way system through the site could be implemented. Parking restrictions would be required along Bridges Court to prevent on street parking near the construction access and the York Road/Bridges Court junction as construction vehicle movements may otherwise be obstructed. The site would displace several parking bays within the site which is currently a car park. Alternative parking may need to be investigated. Access route to the A3205 (TLRN strategic highway network) contains no constraints with the removal of the on street parking nearby. Distance to the TLRN 20m from the site access on Bridges Court. See Transport Access Plan in Appendix 5. Access to river River access not required for a CSO site as excavated material to be transported away by road to main site. Use of rail is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of excavated material produced by a CSO site. Access to existing railway sidings at Clapham Junction uses the TLRN (A3205) which leads onto the gyratory between the A217 and A3205 before turning onto the A214. The route then leads onto East Hill and St Johns Hill before turning onto Plough Road for the Appendix 8 - Page 1
Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Site is suitable utilising an existing access and being within a short distance of the TLRN (A3205). An additional access from York Way could be utilised to enable a one-way system through the site and provide direct access to the TLRN (A3205). The site would displace several parking bays within the site which is currently a car park. Alternative parking may need to be investigated. Parking restrictions required to ensure the site access and the York Road/ Bridge Court junction are not obstructed by on street parking.
River access not required as excavated material would be transported away by road to main site. Use of rail is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of excavated material produced by a CSO site.

Access to rail
Transport Site considerations Comments Clapham Junction, Traincare Depot railway sidings. The route passes under one rail bridge (on Trinity Road) with no visible restrictions and through a high street area along St Johns Hill. Route to rail requires the removal of on street parking bays on Pier Terrace. Distance 2.3km to rail link. Parking Site is an existing private car park providing both residential and commercial parking for a Volkswagen dealership located adjacent to site. Current parking provision is well utilised and would be displaced by the site. Alternative parking may need to be investigated. Parking restrictions required to prevent on street parking along Bridges Court and near the York Road/Bridges Court junction to ensure the site access is not obstructed. Potential for some workforce parking onsite. Limited alternative parking within close proximity to the site. Public transport accessibility PTAL 3-4 (Medium) as identified within Table 2.3. Parking restrictions required along Bridges Court and the York Road/Bridges Court junction. Alternative parking may be required to accommodate for the parking displaced by the site. Removal of on street parking along Pier Terrace if rail access required. Reasonable potential for workforce to access site by public transport. Parking restrictions required to prevent on street parking near the site access. Alternative parking may be required to accommodate displaced parking. On street parking along Pier Terrace requires removal if rail access needed. Mitigation required and conclusions parking bays on Pier Terrace. Clapham Junction railway sidings at the Traincare Depot accessible using Plough Road.
Use of site would displace existing parking which may need to be provided elsewhere. Parking restrictions required along Bridges Court and York Road/Bridges Court junction to prevent on street parking obstructing the site access. Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce.
Traffic Management
Summary: The site is less suitable as a CSO site because a significant amount of parking would be displaced by the site, with limited potential to provide alternative parking nearby. The site would utilise an existing access from Bridges Court. An alternative/additional access from the TLRN (A3205) could also be used to enable a one-way system through the site. Parking restrictions would be required along Bridges Court to prevent on street parking near the access which could obstruct construction vehicles. The access route to the TLRN (A3205) is otherwise unconstrained as the TLRN (A3205) is only 20m away from the site. The use of rail is unlikely to be required as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material and the route to rail at Clapham Junction passes through a high street area which would require the removal of on street parking Appendix 8 - Page 2

along Pier Terrace. River access it not required for a CSO site as excavated material to be transported away by road. Some workforce parking could be provided onsite, with limited potential on surrounding roads. There is a reasonable potential for workforce to utilise public transport to access the site.

Summary of historical uses
The historic mapping shows extensive industrial development th throughout the 19 Century to the present.
Potential receptors of very high or high value with the potential to be directly affected
No archaeological receptors are recorded within the site boundary. An excavation 40m south of the site has identified medieval and post medieval structural remains. These are likely to be considered of high value and may extend to within the area of the site. Further unrecorded archaeological receptors of high value may also be present within the site. No medium value archaeological receptors are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of medium value being present within the site. An archaeological evaluation 40m north west of the site has identified early post medieval waterfront timber structures. It is possible that similar structures extend to within the area of the site. The dewatering of adjacent waterlogged deposits is unlikely to be an issue considering the location of the site within the Thames. Previous industrial development and the construction of the existing combined sewer pipeline within the site are likely to have adversely impacted any archaeological receptors for a localised area. Borehole data in the area suggests up to 3m of Appendix 8 - Page 4

Extent of existing disturbance (if known)
Archaeology Site considerations Comments made ground some of which could be archaeological Potential issues Detailed design proposals, and an outline method statement would be required to enable initial assessment of development impacts, and to inform mitigation proposals. With the currently available information it is not possible to highlight specific potential issues. Mitigation methods could include: Desk based assessment Production of deposits model Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations Archaeological evaluation Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation. Summary: Based on current information this site is suitable as a CSO site because no archaeological receptors are recorded within the site. Available geotechnical information suggests a 3m thickness of made and superficial ground within the site; this sequence may include archaeology. Given the extent and potential high value of archaeological remains in the proximity of this site it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. While no direct evidence has been revealed waterlogged remains and peat deposits conditioning archaeological material of high or medium value may also be present. Mitigation required and conclusions

CO9XC is visible from the Sands End Conservation Area which is located on the opposite (northern) bank of the River Thames from the site. Given this visual relationship there is the potential for the development to have a visual impact upon the setting and views to and from the conservation areas. Mitigation in the form of a high quality scheme design and/or screening would be required to reduce any adverse impact. Other receptors of lesser importance with the potential to be indirectly affected Sensitive landscape character areas likely to be affected, including trees and TPOs Not Applicable Not Applicable
Site in the Thames Policy Area. Site on the Bridge Court parking lot. Construction site and commercial development to the north, York Road with York Gardens to the east, densely built-up residential area to the south, residential development along the River to the west. Loss of vegetation, grass. The presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings would result in temporary, adverse direct impacts on the character of the parking lot and temporary, adverse indirect impacts on neighbouring areas. Permanent elements would adversely impact open space.
Retention of trees where possible and protection in accordance with BS 5837. Introduction of landscape scheme to include appropriate surface treatments and planting to replace lost vegetation and relate to adjacent residential properties. Permanent elements onsite to be contained in one corner of the site to minimise adverse impact. Removal of vegetation and the presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings onsite would severely impact character of the adjacent residential property. This site is suitable with appropriate mitigation listed above.

Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Potential views likely to be affected Comments Open views from adjacent residential properties and York Road. Partially interrupted views from York Gardens and the River. During construction, views of cranes from surrounding properties. Permanent elements visible from surrounding residences and partial views from the River. Mitigation required and conclusions During construction, the use of hoardings and appropriate lighting would help minimise visual impact. Design and location of top structure, vent column, and electrical kiosk to be given careful consideration. Planting to screen permanent plant. Adequate new planting would be important to protect visual amenity. This site is suitable with appropriate mitigation listed above. Particular considerations on sites where new permanent structures are required Permanent structures at C09XA have the potential to have an indirect effect upon Sands End Conservation Area. The appearance of any above ground structures would need to be carefully considered in the scheme design and some form of screening for the site may be required. The development could result in an indirect impact upon one conservation area and two listed structures. However, there is the potential to mitigate any adverse impacts through a high quality scheme design and/or screening. Any permanent structures would need to be of a high quality design and/or screened in order that the visual impact upon Sands End Conservation Area is minimised in accordance with planning policy and English Heritage guidance. The scheme design would need to be of a sufficiently high quality and may need to incorporate some screening in order that the potential visual intrusiveness of the development upon the conservation area can be mitigated.
Potential issues
Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site because it would not result in any direct impacts upon the historic built environment and indirect impacts would be limited to one conservation area. This site could, however, potentially result in direct adverse impacts on the character of the adjacent residential property and local views, especially during construction. Mitigation in the form of the scheme design and/or screening of the site would minimise any adverse impacts.

Water resources hydrogeology and surface water Site considerations Potential impacts on surface water features Comments The site is located adjacent to the River Thames. The site is behind flood defences so the pollution risk is through drainage to the Thames. No impact on groundwater at depth is likely since the drop shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). At shallow depth, the shaft is located in Kempton Gravel/ Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer. Limited impact on shallow aquifer if water is excluded from the excavation by diaphragm wall or caissons. No mitigation required if groundwater is not impacted. The drop shaft to be excavated in London Clay but to be below piezometric head in Chalk. Potential pressure effects. Limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer. Mitigation required and conclusions Work needs to be undertaken in consideration of Pollution Prevention Guidelines PPG1, PPG5 and PPS23. See below (likely types of mitigation measures that would be required).
Potential impacts on groundwater (resources and quality)
Likely types of mitigation measures that would be required Potential issues
Not applicable Confined head in Chalk to be considered as part of geotechnical design. Impact on and mitigation for shallow aquifer would depend on construction design.
Summary: In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as a CSO site because the drop shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 3.9 metres above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design and no impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected. The superficial deposits are Kempton Gravel/Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer at the site and there is likely to be limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer due to diaphragm wall or caissons. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable as a CSO site because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution although standard mitigation would be required.

No direct impact on aquatic receptors. Potential issues No further issues identified Not applicable No land-take from the river or foreshore is anticipated. Care would need to be taken to avoid discharge or run-off into the river. None required
Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site and may require only basic ecological surveys if selected.
Flood risk assessment Site considerations Flood Risk Zone Comments Flood Zone 3 1 in 200 year flood extent) but Defended to the 1 in 1000 year flood level there is a residual risk of a breach for which mitigation would need to be considered as part of the FRA. Sewage transmission infrastructure is considered to be water compatible according to table D.2 of PPS25. Assessment of conditions for SuDS There is space for SuDS although more investigation is required to determine if the site is suitable for infiltration SuDS as a result of the superficial geology, which is described as sandy, silty, peaty clay and therefore may not have sufficient infiltration capacity for SuDS to be suitable. No further issues identified Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions An FRA would be required to assess the residual risk of flooding to the site.
Potential issues

Air quality Site considerations AQMA Comments The air quality objective for NO2 is exceeded on major roads in vicinity of site. There are residential properties along York Road (A3205). The nearest residential properties are around 45m from the site at Prices Court. Mitigation required and conclusions There is a need for more site specific data. There are relevant air quality sensitive receptors present along the route the construction traffic is likely to take and close to the proposed construction works. Additional vehicle emissions have a high potential to interfere with local air quality action plan policies. See existing traffic issues above. Collect minimum 6 months diffusion tube data at the nearest residential receptors to the site access to A3205 or other point of access to major road network. Minimise HGV movements on the local road network during the peak hours. Standard dust control measures would minimise the effect of fugitive dust on nearby sensitive receptors.
Sensitive Receptors
Existing traffic issues
The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions from vehicles along the A3205 corridor. See existing traffic issues above. There is no data at likely access to the A3205 and the nearest existing data indicates existing exceedance of AQLV.
Existing sources of significant air pollutants Notable gaps in existing air quality monitoring
Potential issues
The risk from additional exhaust emissions from construction HGVs is undefined at present. The risk from dust impacts at residential properties is moderate.
Summary: This site is less suitable for use as a CSO site as there are residential properties in close proximity to the site and there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at these properties. These impacts can be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality although this can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours.

Noise Site considerations Noise band level (from Defra noise maps) Comments Information from Defra noise maps indicates daytime noise levels of less than 58 dB LAeq and night-time noise levels of less than 50 dB LAeq at residential properties located at Prices Court on Cotton Row located to the west of the site and also at Candlemakers Apartments also located to the west of the site. The residential properties facing the site are likely to experience relatively moderate daytime and night-time noise levels due to A3205 located to the east. Noise levels from the Defra noise maps provide an indication of prevailing noise levels only, and would not be employed in any detailed assessments for chosen sites. Sensitive Receptors There are sensitive receptors in close proximity to the western boundary of the site. Further residential properties at Candlemakers Apartments are also located to the west of the site. Sensitive receptors to the west at Prices Court consist of 5 storey residential dwellings. These are located at a distance of approximately 20m from temporary working area and 40m from the shaft location. Sensitive receptors at Candlemakers Apartments to the west consist of residential dwellings 4-6 storeys in height. These are approximately 45m from the temporary working area and 60m from the shaft location. There are a number of sensitive receptors adjacent to the site access route, including properties which overlook Bridges Court which would be considerably affected by HGV traffic. Existing traffic issues Local road traffic, coupled with more distant road traffic on the A3209 to the east would contribute to the local noise climate in the area. Not applicable Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Appendix 9 - Page 3
Noise Site considerations Existing sources of significant noise emissions Comments Local road traffic, coupled with more distant road traffic on the A3209 to the east would contribute to the local noise climate in the area. Construction: The construction period is estimated at 0.5 to 2 years and working hours would be 12 hours per day (7am to 7pm) Monday to Saturday. This has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts to the sensitive receptors surrounding the site, and in particular those at Princes Court on Cotton Row. A relatively high number of daily HGV movements are anticipated. This number of vehicle movements has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts on sensitive receptors that overlook Bridges Court, off which permanent access is proposed. The immediate site area is relatively large and, whilst the shaft location may be fixed, ancillary plant should be sited as far as is practicable from surrounding sensitive receptors. Situating plant in the northern areas of the site would maximise the distance between them and the nearest sensitive receptors and minimise potential disturbance. Proposed 3m site boundary fencing would provide useful noise mitigation to some plant and construction activities however it would not provide any attenuation to higher floor levels. Vibration resulting from general construction works is not anticipated result in an adverse impact. The nearest receptors to the proposed shaft location are at a distance of approximately 20m and it is unlikely that vibration levels would result in minor cosmetic damage during shaft sinking but may give rise to annoyance. Vibration from tunnelling should be considered on a case by case basis at particular sensitive Appendix 9 - Page 4
Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Potential issues
Adherence to the good site practices provided in BS5228. Siting of noisy equipment and construction activities as far as is practicable from sensitive receptors. Provision of site boundary noise fences.
Noise Site considerations locations. Operation: With appropriate attenuation (if necessary), there is no reason why noise from the ventilation column and top chamber should not result in adverse noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site. Although sensitive receptors are located close to the site, the existing noise levels are thought to be relatively high due to the sites proximity to the A3209. The number of HGVs anticipated is also fairly low and therefore there is unlikely to be a large noise impact resulting from their movements. Site perimeter barriers would be largely ineffectual due to the height of some of the receptors. Comments Mitigation required and conclusions

Contamination Category
Summary: This site is less suitable as a CSO site because there is a high potential for contamination from numerous historical onsite and offsite activities. This has the potential to impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact/vapour inhalation exposure pathways. Additionally, the potential exists for contamination of the River Thames itself. Notes: 1. From BGS Geological Model giving average ground condition profile. Local near surface conditions may vary, particularly within the river. 2. Soil information for urban areas is based on fewer observations than elsewhere in the country. Therefore a worst case vulnerability (H) is assumed until proven otherwise. 3. Refer to schematic Conceptual Site Model for explanation of site-specific source-pathwayreceptors.
