5. SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The site is at the rear of several residential properties. Great care shall be exercised to ensure
the construction works have little impact on the residents in terms of dust, noise etc. The
works does not require any demolition or concrete breaking so dust is not considered to be a
possible issue. The excavation works will be in moist soil conditions so we do not foresee an
issue with air contaminates. Our main concern is the use of machinery so modern excavators
and machinery shall be utilised and where possible to be turned off when not in use.
