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.

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 Frogmore Storm Relief Bell Lane Creek 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 C07AB forms part of the Frogmore Complex, an industrial estate comprising various industrial units with associated loading/unloading and parking areas, and lies within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The site is presently used by the London Borough of Wandsworth as a maintenance depot. From consultation with the Wandsworth borough council, it is understood that the depot is in 24-hour use by a large number of employees and provides storage, workshops and parking for council vehicles, including emergency response vehicles. The site is bounded by Dormay Street to the east and Frogmore to the west. The south of the site backs onto residential properties, which in turn front onto Armoury Way. The north of the site is bounded by Bell Lane Creek. Access is currently taken from Dormay Street and Frogmore. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. The wider area comprises commercial, industrial and residential uses. Frogmore Complex forms part of a wider industrial designation which extends northwards towards the River Thames. There are further pockets of industrial activity on the south side of Armoury Way. The area immediately to the west of the site, fronting onto Frogmore, is residential and made up of flats and terraced housing. Further residential properties are located to the south and east of Armoury Way. The nearest residents would be located within London Court, Fullers House and Brewers House, approximately 100m from the proposed operational area of the site. The site is partly within Wandsworth Town Conservation Area. Wentworth House, the adjacent property, is Grade II listed and forms part of a cluster of buildings at the junction of Dormay Street and Armoury Way, including the Crane public house, the adjoining cottages and terrace. The site is within an Industrial Employment Area 2008, archaeological priority area, conservation area and Metropolitan Open Land, as shown in the Wandsworth Unitary Development Plan. 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 Dormay Street or Frogmore, which are both directly off the A3 and the A217. There is no rail network local to the site. East Putney London Underground station is less than 1.5km from the site and Wandsworth Town rail station is less than 1km from the site. There are no existing wharfage/jetty facilities at the site. A transport plan for the site is attached as Appendix 5.

2.1.13 It is understood that National Grid is planning to build a cable tunnel which would run through the outside eastern part of the site. If this site is selected, there would be dialogue with National Grid to consider matters if applicable (such as timing, engineering constraints, cumulative effects of the projects, potential for site sharing, etc.) 2.2 2.2.1 Type of site The site C07AB is being considered as a CSO site to intercept the Frogmore Bell Lane Storm Relief Sewer 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 a 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 CSO site 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). 3.1.5 Preliminary data associated with the construction phase are provided in Table 3.1. Table 3.1 Construction phase data Activity Length of construction period Likely working hours, ie, (night/day/weekend) Working days Primary means of transporting excavated material away from site Primary means of transporting materials to site CSO site 0.5 to 2 years 12 hrs from 7am to 7pm Mon to Sat Road Road

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.

4.1.3
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 structure with openings. The top structure is to provide access and egress into the main shaft and flap valve chamber.
b
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.

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
The site can be reached via an existing road, Dormay Street, which is directly off the A217 (Armoury Way). The site can also be accessed from Frogmore. Dormay Street leads to the local authority maintenance depot. It is expected that this road would be busy at certain hours of the day. For both the construction and operational phases, the site can be reached via the existing depot entrance at Dormay Street or Frogmore.
5.1.3
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. b 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.

Rail 5.1.4 There is no rail network local to this site. However, rail access is not considered to be a significant factor for CSO sites. River 5.1.5 River access and jetty/wharfage facilities are not a requirement for CSO sites. However, as the site is adjacent to a creek, it may be feasible to deliver and take away materials by barge to this site. This would, however, be difficult as it is a narrow creek, subject to significant tidal movements. Construction works considerations The site is currently used as a local authority maintenance depot. Demolition of part of a vehicle shed would be required. Settlement assessments and monitoring of existing buildings that would remain operational would be required to assess the impact of the shaft construction on them. Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the only items in this area of concern are Frogmore Depot and surrounding warehouses, the river wall to the north and rail track on the outside northern part of the site. The rail track is approximately 70m from the drop shaft and it is unlikely that there would be any significant impact on it. Construction methods would be adopted as appropriate to mitigate potential settlement of these assets. 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 are both 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 ground level. Health and safety The site is a maintenance depot and there may be underground fuel tanks present. In addition, there is the possibility of contaminated ground from the sites previous use as a dye works. There are no other unusual health and safety issues with this site. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Introduction The planning assessment builds on the advantages and disadvantages reported in Table 2.3 and covers the following areas: Planning applications and permissions Planning context Planning comments.

Planning applications and permissions An initial desktop search of the London Borough of Wandsworth online planning applications database returned the following planning applications submitted applicable to the site. Planning permission was granted in February 2006 for the relocation and alteration of the access to Frogmore Complex. Prior to that in 2004, planning permission was granted for the erection of a four-storey building providing amenity facilities for the depot on the ground floor, with three upper floors of open plan offices. There were subsequent submissions to discharge conditions attached to this approval. More recently, consent was granted in 2008 for a first-floor extension at the northern part of the office building to provide additional offices for neighbouring Wentworth House. Planning context The following is a summary of the relevant local planning policies and designations affecting the site, as extracted from the current statutory development plan for the borough. The development plan comprises the saved policies from the Wandsworth Unitary Development Plan, adopted August 2003, and the Consolidated London Plan, adopted February 2008. Policy GEN15, Industrial Employment Areas 2008 the site falls within an industrial area that is safeguarded for industrial uses. Under Policy GEN15, the council will seek to retain employment land and maximise its use by safeguarding long established industrial areas. Policy TBE14, Archaeological Priority Area, states that where development involves ground disturbance, the council will require developers to undertake an archaeological investigation. The council may also, in accordance with Policy TBE15, require the preservation of findings either in situ or by excavation. Policy TBE10, Conservation Area a small proportion of the site is located within Wandsworth Town Conservation Area. Policy TBE 10 prohibits development which would harm the character, appearance and setting of a conservation area. Of relevance to the development, Policy TBE 11 advises that the council will only permit demolition within the conservation area where the structure makes no positive contribution. Policy TBE13, Listed Building Wentworth House, to the southern boundary of the site, is Grade II listed. Policy TBE13 indicates that development which would harm listed buildings or their settings will be resisted. Policy GEN12, Housing in determining proposals for development, the council will seek to protect and enhance the character and amenity of residential areas. Policy ON1, Open Space the site is adjacent to Bell Lane Creek, which is designated open space. The policy protects open space from development which would result in the loss of open space that contributes to the character and appearance of its surrounds or has potential to be used for recreational purposes. Policy ON7, Green Chain Links, restricts development that would harm the openness of any open land which contributes towards the Green Chain or link between open spaces, especially to Metropolitan Open Land and where land forms strategic links between boroughs. 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 6.4.2 The council stated that a local authority maintenance depot is located on the site which is used for maintenance, storage and engineering and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The depot has 350 staff working at the site at any one time (requiring parking and access), and highways vehicles, special needs buses and an emergency response team all travel in and out of the site. The council own the land on the other side of the creek but access is privately owned. The council commented that the Environment Agency (EA) have been working to return the creek to its natural state and to remove the collapsed weir (near to the River Thames). The EA has placed structures into the creek and a dam to close it up. They require a minimum width for river and waterway access. English Heritage 6.4.3 English Heritage advised that the boundary of C07AB needs to be checked. Environment Agency 6.4.4 No comment. Port of London Authority 6.4.5 No comment. Transport for London 6.4.6 No comment. Other statutory consultees 6.4.7 6.5 6.5.1 No comment. Planning comments A number of planning designations are applicable both on and adjacent to the site. These designations have been identified and described in Section 6.3. The designations of most relevance to the proposed development relate to heritage and the safeguarding of employment land. The site is within an established employment area. Use of the site would result in the loss of employment space. This is not considered to be detrimental to the viability of the area as a whole, in that the site could be returned to employment use post completion of the Thames Tunnel construction works. Nevertheless, it is recognised that the existing council depot has a high level of use and that a need for alternative provision of facilities would be likely for existing businesses affected by the proposed site, to avoid them being extinguished. The proposed CSO working area is located approximately 100m from the nearest residential properties along Frogmore. This separation distance is likely to be considered sufficient to safeguard residential amenity from associated construction impacts, particularly given the wider industrial character of the surrounding area. Part of the proposal site falls within the northernmost part of Wandsworth Town Conservation Area and is in close proximity to the Grade II listed building Wentworth House. However, it is considered that, with appropriate mitigation, potential effects on appearance and setting could be minimised. A further assessment of heritage considerations is included in Section 7. The site falls within a designated archaeological priority area. Adequate site investigation requirements should be agreed with the LPA in accordance with policies TBE14 and TBE15. Further appraisal of the archaeological potential of the site is provided in Section 7 of this report.

The site is located adjacent to Bell Lane Creek, a designated area of open space. Use of the site should not result in loss of the designated area and suitable mitigation measures should protect against potential adverse impacts from the construction works. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport The site is suitable in transport terms, although it would require a temporary construction and permanent site access. A temporary priority working system would be required to enable construction vehicles to safely pass each other through the narrow section on Dormay Street, although road access route to the TLRN (A217) is otherwise unconstrained. Use of rail is unlikely to be feasible due to the small quantities of material that CSO sites produce. If required, rail access route at Clapham Junction passes through a high street area, with no other visible restrictions. River access is not required for a CSO site as excavated material will be transported away by road to the main site. There is the possibility for the workforce to use public transport to access the site. Parking could be provided onsite for the workforce but there is no available parking nearby due to the double yellow lines along both sides of Dormay Street. Temporary traffic management would be required to construct the site access and install the priority working on Dormay Street. Archaeology Based on current information, this site is suitable as there are no records of archaeological remains being present on the site. However, the nature and extent of archaeological receptors cannot be confidently predicted because of the lack of previous investigations in the area, and it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present. Peat deposits containing archaeological material have been commonly recorded throughout London in a similar proximity to the River Thames. Given the location of the site, and wider evidence for historical occupation along the river, it is a reasonable assumption to suggest that waterlogged remains of archaeological value may be present. Built heritage and townscape The site is suitable as the works would have only a limited impact upon the built heritage environment and the local townscape character. There would be the potential for indirect impacts on the following local receptors: Wandsworth Town Conservation Area, one Grade II listed building (Wentworth House), the character of Bell Lane Creek and some local views. Mitigation, including a high quality scheme design and/or screening, would reduce any adverse impacts. Water resources hydrogeology and surface water In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as the drop shaft would be constructed in London Clay (non-aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head would be approximately 6.1 metres above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. No impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected, and the superficial deposits are alluvium, which is classified as a minor aquifer at the shaft site. There would be a limited impact on flow in the shallow aquifer due to the use of a diaphragm wall or caissons.

7.5.2
In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable as there is no direct route for pollution to the Bell Lane Creek. Standard mitigation will be required in line with Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG) 1 and 5 and Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 23. Ecology This site is suitable and it may require only basic ecological surveys if selected. Flood risk The site is suitable because the site is defended to a one in 1,000-year flood level. There would be space onsite for SuDS, although an investigation would be required to determine the suitability of infiltration SuDS. Air quality This site is suitable as there is only low potential that fugitive emissions of dust during construction would have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site. Any impacts could be minimised with standard dust control measures. There would be a potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts. However, this could be mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise This site is suitable due to the distance between the site and the nearest residential properties. In addition, it is likely that there would be a low noise impact from the number of vehicles associated with the construction phase and with the proposed access route, as there are very few residential properties located on Dormay Street and Armoury Way. Land quality
7.8 7.8.1
7.9 7.9.1
7.10
7.10.1 The site is less suitable as there is a high risk that contamination of the site has occurred, owing to a former dye works, depot and laundry works being located on and in the vicinity of the site. 7.10.2 This potential contamination could impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact and volatilisation exposure pathways. There is potential for contamination of surface water receptors which could occur through the migration of contaminants through the shallow (ie, River Terrace Gravel) aquifer. 8 8.1 8.1.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is within the Fairfield 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 Wandsworth, London and England as a whole: A higher rate of full time employees and self-employed people A higher rate of employment in professional occupations Substantially higher proportion of people educated to Level 4/5 (degree level) Fewer people aged 19 or under, or 45 and over, (with comparably more people in their twenties and thirties) Approximately 82% people are white and around 75% of people were born in the UK A higher proportion of residents reporting a good state of health.
Page 9
100-RG-PNC-C07AB-900001.doc
8.1.2
Overall, this socio-economic profile of the area suggests that the population has a majority of young professionals. Issues and impacts Due to the proposed location of the CSO engineering works, the greatest impact of the sites use appears likely to be on the employees of Wandsworth council currently working onsite. The loss of any built facilities onsite, or impact on the workings of the maintenance depot, may have an impact on the viability of its current use which could affect the local economy. The surrounding industrial premises appear unlikely to be significantly impacted by the use of the site. There are no residential properties which appear likely to be significantly impacted by the sites use. There is some indication of improvements to the creek further towards the River Thames to connect the Causeway to Enterprise Way, although there does not appear to be any public access to the creek in close proximity to the site. The proposed location of the after-use structures appears to suggest the loss of an existing building onsite; otherwise, their presence should not significantly impact on the sites continued use as a maintenance depot. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction The site comprises part of the local authority transport and maintenance depot close to Wandsworth town centre. Crown Land and Special Land comments The land is owned by the London Borough of Wandsworth and therefore it may be classified as Special Land under Section 17 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. However, Section 17 does not apply where the body acquiring the land is a statutory undertaker. As Thames Water is a statutory undertaker, Section 17 will not apply to London Tideway Tunnels. However, Section 16 of the Act will apply and provides that land may not be acquired unless the Minister is satisfied that there will be no detriment to the operations of the owner, or that the land can be replaced. Therefore, the compulsory purchase may be subject to a Ministerial procedure. Contact should be made with the owner as soon as possible to establish if an acquisition can be agreed. Land to be acquired The compensation assessment assumes that the worksite within the council depot will be acquired temporarily via the acquisition of new rights for the period of the works stated in the engineering section. A right of way to the worksite will be required from Dormay Street. The operational phase will require the permanent acquisition of an area in the north of the site within the council depot, with dimensions of approximately 20m by 20m. A right of way to enable access to the above freehold will need to be acquired via the main gate to the depot fronting Dormay Street. Property valuation comments The site forms part of an operational council depot. The depot is included in the 2005 Rating List with a rateable value of 248,000.

9.4.2
Planning permission was granted in 2004 for a four-storey building providing amenity facilities for the depot on the ground floor, with three upper floors of open plan offices. The site has redevelopment potential for employment based uses. The land will be reinstated after the works are complete, as a part of the engineering works, and therefore reinstatement costs are not included in the compensation assessment. The acquisition costs of the site have been assessed on a diminution in value basis for the temporary occupation during works and 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. Disturbance compensation comments The site is occupied by the council and is used for vehicle storage as part of the depot operations. The council may therefore claim the cost of temporary relocation for the period of the works. This cost is likely to be acceptable. The site is close to the main depot entrance, and it will be important to ensure that access to the depot is maintained at all times in order to minimise the claim for disturbance. 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, provided access is maintained to neighbouring properties on Dormay Street. There should also be limited potential for claims under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973, as the completed works are unlikely to result in diminution in value to property. Discretionary purchase costs comments The terms and conditions of the discretionary scheme have not yet been finalised and therefore it is not possible to come to a view on the level of discretionary purchase costs. However, the site is surrounded by other industrial properties and therefore there is little potential for discretionary purchase costs. The construction details section of the report states that working hours will be 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday to Saturday, for a period of up to two years. The fact that work will be within normal working hours should significantly limit the potential for discretionary purchases. Site acquisition cost assessment The statutory acquisition costs are likely to be acceptable. SITE CONCLUSIONS BY DISCIPLINE Introduction

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 has good vehicular access and is of adequate size. The shaft can be constructed in close proximity to the combined sewer.

10.3
Planning
10.3.1 On balance, the site is considered suitable for use as a CSO site. 10.3.2 The proposal site is unlikely to have an unacceptable impact upon residential amenity and appropriate mitigation should reduce potential impacts on the identified heritage designations. The site is within an established employment area and the loss of an existing employment use would require policy justification. There may be a requirement to relocate existing business facilities and this would require further investigation. 10.4 Environment
10.4.1 Overall, the site is suitable as a CSO site, although mitigation will be required to enable the site to be used. 10.4.2 Based on current information, the site is suitable from the perspectives of transport, archaeology, water resources (hydrogeology and surface water), flood risk, ecology, air quality, noise, built heritage and townscape. 10.4.3 This site is considered less suitable from the perspective of land quality. 10.4.4 Overall, the site is considered suitable, subject to further investigation of whether land quality impacts can be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations will include: 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 From a community impacts perspective, the use of this site appears suitable for CSO connection works. Its use is likely to have some impact on the sites current use as a maintenance depot, but this should be mitigable. 10.5.2 The site is adjacent to industrial buildings, which are unlikely to be greatly affected by the use of the site. The Bell Lane Creek adjacent to the site does not appear to be used by the public and is surrounded by industrial land and a railway line. No other potential sensitive receptors were identified in close proximity to the site. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 This site is considered to be suitable as a CSO site. 10.6.2 The advantage of the site is as follows: The acquisition costs should be acceptable. 10.6.3 The disadvantages of the site are as follows: The site is owned by the council and therefore the acquisition may be subject to a Ministerial procedure. The acquisition will result in business disturbance to the depot operation, although the uses on the site should be capable of temporary relocation.

Transport Site considerations Access to road network Comments Site accesses onto Dormay Street from the Frogmore Complex which is opposite the Keltbray construction business. A new temporary construction and permanent access would require construction. Dormay Street is subject to a 30mph speed limit, is street lit and features double yellow lines along its extent on both sides. It has a carriageway width of 8m which reduces to 4.2m in width through a narrow road section. A visibility splay of 90m is achievable to the south from the construction site access. Visibility to the north can be achieved to the end of the road (approximately 20m), Access to the A217 (TLRN strategic highway network) approximately 80m to the south using Dormay Street. A priority working system would be required to allow construction vehicles to pass each other through the narrow section on Dormay Street. See Transport Access Plan in Appendix 5. Access to river River access not required for CSO site. River access not required as excavated material would be transported away by road. Use of rail unlikely to be required as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material. Route to possible rail link at Clapham Junction runs through a high street area along St Johns Hill and under two rail bridges with no visible restrictions in addition to the constraints encountered upon accessing the TLRN (A217). Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Road access to site likely to be suitable for HGVs, with the installation of a priority working system to allow construction vehicles to pass safely along the narrow section on Dormay Street for TLRN (A217) access. A new temporary construction and permanent access would require construction. On street parking along Dormay Street prevented by double yellow lines along both sides.
Access to rail
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 from the TLRN (A217) onto the gyratory between the A217 and A3205 turning onto the A214. The route then leads onto East Hill following onto St Johns Hill before turning onto Plough Road for the Clapham Junction, Traincare Depot railway sidings.
Appendix 9 - Page 1
100-RG-PNC-C07AB-900001.doc
Transport Site considerations Comments The route contains the same constraints as the route to the TLRN (A217), in addition to passing under two rail bridges (on Swandon Way and Trinity Road) with no visible restrictions and through a high street area along St Johns Hill. Distance 2.5km to rail access point from site. Parking Some parking could be provided within the site boundary for workforce. No parking is available within the vicinity of the site as Dormay Street has continuous double yellow lines along both sides. PTAL 3-4 (Medium) as identified within Table 2.3. A new temporary construction and permanent site access would require construction. Priority working system required to allow construction vehicles to safely pass each other through the narrow road section (4.2m wide) on Dormay Street. Unclear whether Keltbray would continue to use their current construction site access, or whether this would be relocated. Mitigation required and conclusions Clapham Junction railway sidings at the Traincare Depot accessible using Plough Road.
Some parking for workforce to be provided within site boundary with no parking available in vicinity of the site.
Possibility for workforce to use public transport to access the site. A new temporary construction and permanent site access would require construction. Temporary traffic management required in the form of a priority working system to allow construction vehicles to safely pass each other through the narrow section on Dormay Street.
Traffic Management
Summary: The site is suitable as a CSO site, although it would require the construction of a temporary construction and permanent site access. A temporary priority working system would be required to enable construction vehicles to safely pass each other through the narrow section on Dormay Street although road access route to the TLRN (A217) is otherwise unconstrained. Use of rail is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of material that CSO sites produce. If required, rail access route at Clapham Junction passes through a high street area with no other visible restrictions. River access is not required for a CSO site as excavated material would be transported away by road to main site. Possibility for workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. Parking could be provided onsite for the workforce but there is no available parking nearby due to the double yellow lines along both sides of Dormay Street. Temporary traffic management would be required to construct the site access and install the priority working on Dormay Street.

No archaeological receptors are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of high value being within the site. No archaeological receptors are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of medium value being within the site None recorded
The construction of the existing combined sewer pipeline is likely to have adversely impacted archaeological receptors for a localised area. Boreholes in the vicinity indicate up to 4m of made ground Otherwise geotechnical data is currently insufficient to assess below ground conditions. 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.
Potential issues
Mitigation methods could include: Desk based assessment Production of deposits model Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations Archaeological evaluation

Archaeology Site considerations Comments Mitigation required and conclusions Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation. Summary: Based on current information this site is suitable as a CSO site because there are no records of archaeological remains being present on this site. However the lack of previous investigations in the area the nature and extent of archaeological receptors cannot be confidently predicted and it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present. Peat deposits containing archaeological material have been commonly recorded throughout London in a similar proximity to the River Thames. Given the location of the site, and wider evidence for historical occupation along the river, it is a reasonable assumption to suggest waterlogged remains of archaeological value may be present.

Locally Listed Parks and Gardens There are no locally listed parks and gardens with 250m of C07AB. Protected Views There are no protected views within 250m of C07AB. Potential receptors of medium to very high importance with the potential to be directly affected The Wandsworth Town Centre Conservation Area has the potential to be directly affected as C07AB partially lies within the boundaries of the conservation area and the development would involve the demolition of some existing (but non-designated) buildings. Mitigation in the form of a high quality and sensitive scheme design and/or screening would be required to ensure that the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Wandsworth Town Conservation Area. Mitigation required and conclusions In the case of listed buildings and conservation areas, a high quality scheme design and adequate screening for the development may be required, as discussed below. A detailed desk-based assessment in conjunction with archaeology work would be required to further determine the likely impact of the development and to inform more detailed mitigation proposals. On the basis of currently available information (June 2009) and on the basis of certain receptors not being present within 250m of C07AB, mitigation would not be applicable in the case of locally listed buildings, registered historic parks and gardens, locally listed parks and gardens and protected views.

There is the potential for 6 listed buildings (two Grade II* and four Grade II listed) to be indirectly affected through changes to their setting.
Of the 6 listed buildings within 250m of C07AB, five do not share a visual relationship with C07AB reflecting the built up character of the area. Consequently it is unlikely that development at the site would result in an impact upon the setting of these listed buildings and mitigation is therefore unlikely to be required. However, Wentworth House (Grade II listed) is visible from C07AB and the development may therefore affect the setting of this listed building. Mitigation in the form of a high quality scheme design and/or screening may be required to reduce the visual intrusiveness of the site upon Wentworth House.

Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments indirect adverse impacts on the neighbouring areas Potential views likely to be affected Open views from Bell Lane Creek and adjacent warehouses. Partially interrupted views from the surrounding residential properties and industrial units. Views of cranes from surrounding residences along Frogmore and Sudlow Roads. During construction, the use of hoardings and appropriate lighting. Design of top structure, vent column, and electrical kiosk to be given careful consideration. Planting to screen permanent plant. The visual amenity would be adversely impacted upon by the presence of cranes during construction. However, this site is suitable since there would be minimal permanent change in views. Particular considerations on sites where new permanent structures are required The direct impact of permanent structures upon the character or appearance Wandsworth Town Centre Conservation Area and the setting of one listed building would need to be carefully considered. Any permanent structures would need to be of a high quality design in order that their visual intrusiveness is minimised and, in particular, so that they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wandsworth Town Centre Conservation Area in accordance with planning policy and English Heritage guidance. Screening of permanent structures may also be required to reduce any visual intrusiveness of the site upon the conservation area. Mitigation through scheme design and/or screening would reduce the visual impact of the development upon the setting of the Grade II listed Wentworth House. Potential issues Although there are numerous built heritage receptors within 250m of C07AB only the Wandsworth Town Centre Conservation Area and one listed building have the potential to experience any form of Appendix 9 - Page 7

Summary: The site is suitable as a CSO site because the works would have only a limited impact upon the built heritage environment and the local townscape character. There would be the potential for indirect impacts on the following local receptors; Wandsworth Town Centre Conservation Area, one listed building (Wentworth House), the character of Bell Lane Creek and some local views. Mitigation, including a high quality scheme design and/or screening would reduce any adverse impacts.

Mitigation required and conclusions The drop shaft would be constructed to an invert level of approximately 33.11 mbgl therefore the shaft would be founded in the London Clay. Piezometric head in Chalk is approximately 6.11 m above the base of the construction.
A simple volumetric approach has been used to calculate the 400 days travel times of the abstraction borehole. A conservative mean annual recharge of 100 mm/year was used to calculate a radius for licensed abstraction boreholes as follows;
1. 109m 2. 137m 3. 80m
As a result, the drop shaft is not located within any of these catchment areas.

Local Authorities (LA) Unlicensed Groundwater Abstractions and Details Information pending from Hammersmith and Fulham Council No abstraction borehole within 1 km radius inside Wandsworth Council Boundary Borehole locations and depths There are 7 historical records of water wells: 6 deep wells and 1 shallow well within 1km radius. Depth range: 101.8 192.02m. Depth range: 6.88m. Potential impacts on surface water features The site is located approximately 300 metres south of the River Thames. The site is located adjacent to the Bell Lane Creek, a tributary of the River Wandle. The site is located behind the Flood defences and so the pathway for pollution would be through drainage to the Bell Lane Creek. Potential impacts on groundwater (resources and quality) 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 Appendix 9 - Page 10

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. Mitigation required and conclusions
Summary: In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as a CSO site because the drop shaft would be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is would be approximately 6.1 metres 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 Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer at the shaft site. There would 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 route for pollution to the Bell Lane Creek. Standard mitigation would be required in line with Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG) 1 and 5 and Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 23.

Ecology (terrestrial and aquatic) Site considerations Statutory designations Non-statutory designated wildlife sites Comments None within 2km Site is adjacent to the River Thames and Tidal Tributaries SMI Mitigation required and conclusions None required Care would need to be taken to avoid impacts (including contaminated runoff) into Bell Lane creek. Works are unlikely to require landtake from the BAP habitats, but care would need to be taken to avoid impacts (including contaminated runoff) into Bell Lane creek. If bat roosts were found to be present, mitigation would be required for any buildings to be affected by works, possibly including offsite provision. Careful placement of lighting to minimise illumination of surrounding habitat is likely to be required. Not applicable
The adjacent creek shore is listed as BAP priority habitat mudflats. The Tidal Thames is a London BAP habitat
There is a possibility that buildings on site may be used by roosting bats. No direct impact on aquatic receptors.

Flood risk assessment Site considerations Flood Risk Zone Comments Flood Zone 3 Defended to the 1 in 1000year flood level. There is the potential for a breach of the defences: mitigation for this 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 likely to be space onsite for SuDS. However, the site is a brownfield site and the superficial geology would necessitate an investigation into the suitability of infiltration SuDS. Attenuation SuDS would be a possibility. Potential issues No further issues Not applicable Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions An FRA would be required to assess the risk of flooding to the site.
Summary: The site is suitable as a CSO site because the site is defended to a 1 in 1000 year flood level. There would be space onsite for SuDS, although an investigation would be required to determine the suitability of infiltration SuDS.

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 Armory Way (A217) and Frogmore. The nearest residential properties are around 90m from the site on London Court. Existing traffic issues The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions from vehicles along the A3, A217 and A3209 corridors. See existing traffic issues above. There is no data at likely access to A217 and the nearest existing data indicates existing exceedance of AQLV. 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 A217 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 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 low.
Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site because there is only a low potential that fugitive emissions of dust during construction would have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site. Any impacts could be minimised with standard dust control measures. There would be a potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts, however this could be 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 London Court and Brewers House on Frogmore Lane to the south west of the site. The residential properties facing the site are likely to experience relatively low daytime and nighttime noise levels due to their distance to the A217 to the south of the site. 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.

There are sensitive receptors in close proximity to the south western boundary of the site. Further residential properties are located to the south on Armoury Way and to the west on Sudlow Road. Sensitive receptors to the south west on Frogmore Lane consist of 3 and 4 storey residential dwellings. These are located at a distance of approximately 80-90m from the south western site boundary. There are a number of sensitive receptors adjacent to the site access route, including properties on Armoury Way which would be considerably affected by HGV traffic.

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.

Noise Site considerations Comments fencing would provide useful noise mitigation to some plant and construction activities. 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 80m and it is unlikely that vibration levels would result in minor cosmetic damage or annoyance during shaft sinking. Vibration from tunnelling should be considered on a case by case basis at particular sensitive 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 due to the distance between the site and the nearest residential properties. In addition it is likely that there would be a low noise impact from the number of vehicles associated with the construction phase and with the proposed access route, as there are very few residential properties being located on Dormay Street and Armoury Way.

Contamination Category
Summary: The site is less suitable as a CSO site because there is a high risk that contamination of the site has occurred, owing to a former dye works, depot and laundry works being located on and in the vicinity of the site. This potential contamination could impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact and volatilisation exposure pathways. There is potential for contamination of surface water receptors which could occur through the migration of contaminants through the shallow (i.e. River Terrace Gravel) aquifer. 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.
