2.0 Site set up Plan
2.1 Perimeter
- As mentioned in the introduction above, the site is located
approximately six miles away or nine miles driving from
Colchester, within the village of Brightlingsea, which is
deemed to be fairly safe concerning criminality or unwanted
social disturbances based on the statistics, as shown in Figure
2 below.
2
2.2 Site security
- Appropriate steel hoarding as shown in Figure 3 below with
strong and lockable site entrance gates to be erected around
the perimeter.
- The hoarding needs to be adequately installed for the
protection of the public, resist impact damage and resist wind
pressure. They should also be lit at night.
- The licence or permit for the hoarding to be erected is to be
obtained by the contractor from the Local Authority.
- CCTV dummy cameras must be installed, preferably on every
corner of the site as they may prove to be an efficient visual
deterrent.
- An alarm system connected to a security firm is
recommended, as it will provide safety during non-working
hours.
- Clear signs and warnings of cameras and security alarms will
be displayed all around the perimeter to discourage any
criminal intent. (Chudley and Greeno, 2010) describe the
storage of materials as "the provision of adequate space,
protection and control for building materials and
components held on site during the construction process".
Therefore, special measures will be taken, and potential
problems should be addressed accordingly.

- Routes will be marked with different colours, green for
pedestrians and red for vehicles, they will be regularly
checked and properly maintained.
- The banksman will also ensure safe movement of vehicles
exiting the site to protect members of the public outside
premises. He will ensure all loads are safe, to ensure danger of
falling objects and dangerous movements are eliminated
(Regulation 28).
- Strict timing deliveries will be negotiated with the named
supplier in the interest of Health and Safety. Therefore, a
detailed schedule of pupils’ attendance to the sport grounds
shall be obtained from the Colne School so they won’t
coincide.
- Further considerations:
Separate pedestrians and construction vehicle traffic
at or before the project entrance
Provide “pedestrians only” areas
Provide “construction vehicles only” area where only
designated personnel can enter
Provide where necessary a trained ‘banksman’
Provide safe pedestrian routes to and from work
locations
Provide safe construction vehicle routes around the
project
Project address and date
Location of cabins, welfare etc.
Provide a plan / drawing of access and egress to the
project
Show local routes/road systems including one way
schemes, car parking etc
Specify areas where the project will need to provide
traffic control

- However, the subcontractors are responsible for securing
their own property, follow contractor’s method statements
and CDM Regulations and implement the required H&S Law.
- Any flammable substances must be stored accordingly.
- Male and female toilets are present and functional and they
will serve the site personnel during the works.
- The changing room in the old pavilion will be used as the
drying room
- Three Porta cabins will be hired. One for the site office and
meeting room , one for the canteen and one for the storage of
consumables (screws, fixings, etc.) and tools
- The steel unit present on site as shown in Appendix 1,
Existing Site Layout, will be relocated within the compound
and used as storage for materials and tools

- Management will appoint a qualified and trained first aider
- The nearest Centre for minor injuries is Colne Medical
Centre, three minutes away in Brightlingsea, at 40 Station
Road.
- The nearest hospital is Clacton and District Hospital, 10 miles
away, or twenty minute drive
- In line with paragraph (6) from Regulation 32 of CDM 2015,
persons undertaking work where is a risk of fire, must be
suitably trained and instructed, usually being issued a permit
to work.
- Under Regulation 32, construction sites must provide suitable
and sufficient fire-fighting equipment and alarms such as
mobile fire points (see Figure 8), and fire detection systems.

5.0 Environmental Impact Assessment
5.1 Key Stakeholders
- An Environmental Impact Assessment is a legal requirement
that needs to be included from the start, and other legislation
such as HASWA 1974 or CDM Regulations 2015 ought to be
followed through to completion.
- Community meetings shall be arranged to present the
stakeholders the measures to be taken to avoid disturbances
during the construction phase, such as segregation of the
construction site from the rest of the public and users of the
Sport Grounds as well as adjacent residents, measures related
to sound and dust pollution, etc.
- The neighbouring residents have children themselves
attending Colne School. They are not against the addition of
a new Sport Pavilion, which they think it is required, as
revealed by the comments related to the previous application
CC/TEN/130/07. (Idox.tendringdc.gov.uk, 2011).
- The same document reveals that the freehold outright owner
of the access road, Mrs. M.J.Girling, complained about the
applicant’s failure to send requisite notices in accordance
with the Planning Act policies, and that she has learned
about the aforementioned application from the local
newspaper. Therefore, all the legal requirements and
necessary steps should be taken to ensure compliance with
the legal procedures and everyone’s agreement, especially the
land owner’s.
- The present pavilion is derelict and not fit for purpose as it
has never been, and in need of replacing with proper welfare
facilities, such as showers and canteen. Everybody agrees
with that.
- The only objections from the previous withdrawn application
were related to the extent of the development which
exceeded, the otherwise accepted necessity of constructing a
new pavilion, by including a large car parking with flood
lights and long hours bar and terrace for serving food and
14
beverages, which were in breach of the current Planning
Policy of Tendring Council (Tendringdc.gov.uk, 2013).

5.3 Soil-Air-Water
- The contractor will ensure that all necessary measures will
be taken to avoid spillages and prevent soil contamination,
dust prevention control measures and contamination of
water with chemicals or dangerous substances in
compliance with Regulation 7 of The Approved Code of
Practice COSSH 2002 (Hse.gov.uk, 2004)
- The new facilities will not benefit only the students of The
Colne School and College, but the wider community
through sport programmes.
- Facilities are not a burden for the local residents but a
gained asset as it will be funded by a number of charities
and organisations which include the Essex County Council,
the Rugby Football Union and the Government, as well as
support from the Brightlingsea Regent Football Club and
Brightlingsea Rugby Club along with the school who
themselves are funding 25% of the total project cost.
- The Football Foundation, nation’s largest sports charity,
will contribute over £134,000 ( Footballfoundation.org.uk. ,
2011).
18
5.6 Health and Safety
- Regulation 12 of the CDM 2015 sets out duties on the
principal contractor for the preparation, review, revision
and updating of construction phase plan and health and
safety files. (Hse.gov.uk, 2015).
- A CPP was attached at the end of this Report as Appendix 1
and a CITB Action Plan as Appendix 3.
19
- Ccscheme.org.uk, (2018), divides the main areas of concern
into three categories: the general public, the workforce and
the environment.
- Any construction site would affect to some extent the general
public. Even if it was to build a brand new Garden City, such
as Milton Keynes, Basildon, and examples may continue,
while it wouldn’t affect any neighbours, there most certainly
will be some environmentalists opposing such a development
for various reasons.
- The contractor automatically becomes the enemy of certain
groups or communities when it is simply the tool of
economic, social and political measures that the Local
Authorities and the Government take as a necessity.
- However, in this case, Simfa Construction Ltd is in fact
contributing to the local community by committing to
construct a necessary feature to the sports ground of
Brightlingsea, that will only benefit its younger population.
- CCS is trying to improve the image of the construction
industry and change that perception by implementing a set of
guidance measures to help achieve a better status for any
contractor.
- However, the scheme also looks at the wellbeing of the
workforce, environment and health and safety of everyone
affected, not only its image.
- A site should register before work commences and clearly
display signage of adherence to the scheme, including
telephone numbers of the site manager, company reference
number and representatives.
6.2 Measures to achieve a good score
6.2.1 Appearance
20
- Refrain from using obscene language, especially being close
to a field where pupils are having sport lessons.
- Keeping the workplace clean and tidy at all times.
6.2.2 Community
6.2.3 Environment
6.2.4 BREEAM
21
- Following ACOP’s and comply with current guidance and
legislation such as CDM Regulation 2015, HASWA 1974,
H&S at Work Regulation 1999.
- Please refer to Appendices 1 and 3.
7.0 Conclusion
22
- Providing that the management will follow all the
recommendations, regulations and procedures, along with
good coordination and planning, this project can meet all
the criteria of a well-run development to be delivered on
time and within budget.
- The fact that the client is providing the funding upfront
only adds to the benefit of the contractor who will be able
to plan ahead and foresee any problems that may arise
along the way.
- The inconvenience to residents due to parking restrictions,
noise and other nuisance a project like this can bring along
may be overcome through periodical meetings with
neighbours and communication.
- Continuous information about the project should be made
available to the local community through means of leaflets
and signage as a marketing strategy that would see them
involved in some instance.
- As long as the safety of people working on the site as well
as the residents and all those affected is kept at very high
standards, this project will be eventually proven a great
addition to the local community and will finish on time.
