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 the only shortlisted site for Lots Road 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 C10XA is within the foreshore of the River Thames, located in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The site is rectangular in shape, with a pier extending through the centre. The site is accessed via adjacent developed sites from Lots Road. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. To the northwest of the site is a recycling centre. Further to the north is a newly built five-storey residential building. The site is bordered to the east, south and west by the River Thames. Chelsea Creek is located approximately 55 metres to the south of the site. The site is in close proximity to the now disused Lots Road Power Station to the southwest, which is likely to be redeveloped for mixed uses. The closest residential development is the newly built seven- to eight-storey residential building to the north, approximately 20m away. Further residences lie approximately 85m to the northwest of the site, beyond the recycling centre and the power station. The site is within a number of Kensington and Chelsea Unitary Development Plan designated areas, including the Thames Policy Area, an area of metropolitan importance and the Thames Conservation 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 no direct road access to the site. The nearest road is Lots Road, which runs parallel to the river. Road access may be viable using the land currently occupied by the recycling centre. There is no rail network local to the site. There are existing protected wharfage/jetty facilities at the site, originally serving the recycling centre but now understood to be disused. 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: Five-storey residential building on the outside northern part of the site Lots Road Power Station (disused) to the outside south-western part of the site A jetty is sited on the proposed shaft location Counters Creek Sewer, 2.896m diameter, through the outside north-western edge of the site (CSO connection is to this sewer).

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 large CSO site the layout as a small CSO site potential access points.
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).

3.1.5 3.1.6
Foreshore working is required for this site and a cofferdam or similar construction works would be needed. Preliminary data associated with the construction phase are provided in Table 3.1 and are common to both the large and small site scenarios.

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. For both CSO options, the above ground infrastructure at this site is likely to comprise a a ventilation column 10m high and 3m diameter, a ventilation building 5m x 15m x 5m high
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

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. 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 There is no existing road access to the site. For the large CSO site, road access to the site during the construction phase is proposed through Cremorne Gardens, as the site extends up to this and direct access from Lots Road, through Cremorne Gardens, may be possible. Consideration could also be given to access through the recycling plant as a secondary option. For this, it may be necessary to remove part of the waste storage structure, which comprisg steel columns and steel roofing, together with the weighbridge. Shared use with the recycling plant may also be a problem. For the small CSO site, during the construction phase, road access to the site may be possible from Lots Road through the recycling plant, as above. If this is not feasible, access through Cremorne Gardens is feasible, although this would necessitate an extended road from the gardens and along the foreshore to reach the site.

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.

5.1.5
For both options, during the operational phase, access could be through either of the routes suggested for the construction phase, noting that both options would require a road along the foreshore for access through Cremorne Gardens. Rail
5.1.6
There is no rail network local to this site. However, rail access is not considered to be a significant factor for CSO sites. River
5.1.7
River access and jetty/wharfage facilities are not a requirement for CSO sites. However, as the site is on the foreshore, there may be feasible opportunities to use barge transport, particularly as road access is limited. Construction works considerations As the site is in the foreshore, a temporary cofferdam would be required and the contained area filled to provide a level site compound. Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the main items of concern in this area are the warehouse and five-story building adjacent to the site, the Counters Creek Sewer Outfall and the existing jetty. The existing jetty is part of the protected wharf and may need to be removed during construction and then reinstated. Construction methods would be adopted, as appropriate, to mitigate potential settlement of these assets. Foreshore sites carry with them a higher risk than inland sites in respect of unexploded ordnance and this would need to be investigated. Foreshore sites carry with them a higher risk than inland sites of archaeological finds that might delay the construction programme. 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 2.5m above finished ground level. The top structure to the interception chamber and drop shaft would be in the foreshore and a river wall matching and tied into the existing river wall would be provided around the permanent operational site. The site would be finished to the same level as the adjacent shore. The feasibility of structures in the foreshore from a navigation aspect would need to be discussed with the PLA. Health and safety Vehicular access to and from the site may be via an operational recycling plant and, given the potential number of construction vehicles, there would be a significant risk of conflict. As the site is in the foreshore, measures would need to be taken to mitigate the risks of flooding and working over/near water. 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.
6.2 6.2.1
Planning applications and permissions An initial desktop search of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea online planning applications database did not identify any planning applications submitted within the last five years applicable to the site. Planning context The current planning policy context for the site is provided from the saved September 2007 policies from the Kensington and Chelsea Unitary Development Plan, adopted 2002. Several planning designations and policies from this development plan are applicable to the site and are detailed below. Policy CD1, Areas of Metropolitan Importance this site is entirely within the Thames Policy Area. This policy aims to protect and enhance views and vistas along the riverside, including river views of Chelsea Embankment, the setting of Chelsea Old Church and views from the Thames bridges. Policy LR24, Sites of Nature Conservation Importance the River Thames is a metropolitan site of nature conservation importance. Policy LR24 seeks to identify and protect sites of nature conservation importance and green corridors. Policy CD57, Conservation Area the site lies within the Thames Conservation Area. In this area, the councils policy is to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area. Policy CD69, Setting of Listed Buildings, resists development which would adversely affect the setting of a listed building. Policy CD23, Open Spaces there is a small park classified as open space, approximately 80m to the north of the site. Policy CD6, Riverside Development, requires any development on the riverside to preserve and enhance the waterfront character and protect or improve physical and visual links between the river and the rest of the borough. Policy CD40, Noise, seeks to resist proposals where noise generated by the use or activity would cause material disturbance to occupiers of surrounding properties. 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. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

The council advised that Cremorne Wharf is safeguarded in the emerging local development framework for waste management use purposes, in line with the London Plan. It cannot therefore be used for other purposes without like-for-like replacement of the site.
Page 6
The works may impact on the wharfs operation and use of its pier for river transport. There will be a need to talk to wharf planners in relation to any new proposed wharf. 6.4.3 Cremorne Gardens is a valuable open space for residents, and its loss would have a severe impact on local amenity. The council also stated that the likely impact of these works on the amenity of current residents and on future residents of the Lots Road Power Station development should be given careful consideration. It was also stated that impact on views to the river should be considered. Special consideration should be given to policies CR5, CR7 and CL5 of the emerging core strategy which relate to parks, gardens, open spaces and waterways, servicing and amenity. The Lots Road/Worlds End Place in the emerging core strategy should also be taken into consideration. The council stated that Lots Road Pumping Station is a Grade II listed building. The site is sensitive and community considerations must include the risk of serious local disruption during works. The area has already been subject to heavy development, including a new school, new arts college and Lots Road Power Station development. English Heritage 6.4.6 English Heritage advised that there is very high potential for prehistoric remains at the site. There is also a need to consider the location of the site in relation to public open space (Cremorne Gardens). Environment Agency 6.4.7 No comment. Port of London Authority 6.4.8 The Port of London Authority (PLA) considers the site to be good for navigational purposes. The PLA stated that Cremorne Wharf is safeguarded and that the site would require removing the jetty and working to one side of it. Transport for London 6.4.9 No comment. Other statutory consultees 6.4.10 The Greater London Authority stated that the canoe club is being rehoused as part of the Lots Road development, with a new home in Chelsea Creek. 6.5 6.5.1 Planning comments There are a small number of planning designations that are applicable on or adjacent to the site. These designations have been identified and described in Section 6.3. Of these, the designations and their policies relating to heritage and nature conservation, as well as impacts on public open space, residential amenity and riverside views, are likely to be the most relevant to the proposed development. There is a pier located within the site that may be affected if not put to use as part of the shaft site. The site is within the Thames Policy Area, which is designated as a metropolitan importance area. The site is located directly in front of a recycling centre, which provides screening from the north, and an industrial setting with regard to views from the east, south and west. It is envisaged that, given the current context, the temporary nature of the construction works and with appropriate mitigation, use of the site should not present conflict with Policy CD1.
6.4.4 6.4.5
6.5.2 6.5.3

6.5.4
Potential visual impacts would be increased in the case of the large CSO site. However, this impact would again be temporary and it is considered that, with appropriate mitigation including screening, this impact should not be unacceptable. Equally, in terms of the visual impact on the Thames Conservation Area, the location of the recycling centre as both a screen and as an industrial setting should prevent any loss of visual amenity and it is therefore unlikely to cause an unacceptable impact. Wider impacts upon the setting of listed buildings, such as the Grade II listed Lots Road Pumping Station, and the character and appearance of the Sands End and Battersea Park conservation areas, will still need to be borne in mind. The permanent after-use structures would require design and visual impact consideration to ensure they are appropriate and do not unacceptably impact upon views, the Thames Policy Area or conservation area. The site is within a nature conservation area designation, which covers the entire River Thames. Given the extensive nature of this designation and the purpose of the Thames Tunnel Project to improve the environmental condition of the river, it is unlikely that this designation would be unacceptably impacted upon. A detailed assessment of the likely impact is included in Section 7. Access to the site is proposed via the adjacent recycling centre site for the small CSO site. This may require further investigation to confirm this proposal is feasible, and mitigation may be required to ensure that use of such an access for the Thames Tunnel Project does not disrupt the existing operations of the recycling centre. Access for the large CSO site is proposed through the southwest side of Cremorne Gardens, an area of protected public open space. Use of this access, together with the positioning of welfare facilities in the foreshore fronting the gardens, is likely to impact upon the amenity value of the gardens and may also have a visual impact from residential properties which overlook the gardens to the north. Mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts from increased traffic movements and associated construction works. Replacement or an improvement to existing open space may also be required by the local authority.

6.5.10 There are a number of residential properties within close proximity of the site, including future accommodation at the Lots Road Power Station development, and it may be necessary to provide mitigation against potential construction noise and dust impacts. 7 7.1 7.1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport Small site 7.2.1 The small site is suitable as a small CSO site, utilising an existing access and egress point currently used for the recycling centre on Lots Road. Articulated vehicles were noted to have difficulty turning right out of the site. The recycling centre may require suspension to allow for construction site access, which needs to be investigated further. The permanent site access requires construction through some park fencing for Cremorne Gardens. Potential road and rail access routes are suitable for HGVs, with few notable constraints. Rail use is unlikely to be feasible, as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material. River access is not essential for a CSO site as excavated material would be transported away by road to the main site. There is low potential for the workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. No parking is to be provided onsite for the workforce and on-street parking within close
7.2
7.2.2
7.2.3
Page 8
proximity of the site is unsuitable, as it is restricted to a maximum stay of four hours. Some parking could potentially be provided within Cremorne Gardens, which requires further investigation. Several on-street parking bays along Lots Road would require removal to enable adequate visibility from the construction site egress and to ensure the permanent access is not obstructed. Alternative parking bays are available nearby. Large site 7.2.4 The large site is suitable as a large CSO site, although a new vehicular access would require construction through Cremorne Gardens, which would require the removal of some park fencing. Several on-street parking bays would also require removal to ensure the access is not obstructed. Alternative parking bays are available nearby. Potential road and rail access routes are suitable for HGVs, with few notable constraints. Rail use is unlikely to be feasible, as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material. River access is not essential for a CSO site as excavated material is to be transported away by road to the main site. There is low potential for the workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. No parking is to be provided onsite for the workforce and on-street parking within close proximity of the site is unsuitable, as it is restricted to a maximum stay of four hours. Some parking could potentially be provided within the park of Cremorne Gardens, which requires further investigation. Archaeology Based on current information, this site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site as two archaeological receptors of medium value are recorded within the site. With the currently available information, it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site, and consultation with English Heritage has indicated that there is high potential for prehistoric remains. Waterlogged material may reasonably be anticipated. Due to the waterlogged nature of the site, mitigation is likely to be costly. Archaeological risk in this location should not be discounted: a foreshore survey and excavation circa 300m north of the site in an identical setting discovered an early medieval fish trap and the remains of a Neolithic forest. Built heritage and townscape Small site 7.4.1 From a built heritage perspective, the site is considered less suitable as a small CSO site because there is the potential for the construction and operation of the development to cause a direct impact upon the Thames Conservation Area, and to cause an indirect impact upon a further two conservation areas (the Sands End Conservation Area and the Battersea Park Conservation Area). Mitigation in the form of a high quality and sensitive scheme design together with possible screening would be required and would need to be very carefully considered in the context of a relatively high number of built heritage receptors which could experience some form of impact arising from the development. From a townscape perspective, the site is considered suitable as a small CSO site. Although there is the potential for adverse impacts on the character of the river frontage, existing views are industrial in nature and the impact could be minimized with appropriate mitigation including high quality design and/or screening, and adequate new planting to protect visual amenity. Large site 7.4.3 From a built heritage perspective, the site is considered less suitable as a large CSO site for the same reasons given for the small CSO site, although the development is also likely to cause an indirect impact upon a further three conservation areas (the Sands End
7.2.5
7.2.6
7.3 7.3.1

Conservation Area, the Cheyne Conservation Area and the Battersea Park Conservation Area). 7.4.4 From a townscape perspective, the site is considered suitable as a large CSO site. Although there is the potential for adverse impacts on the character of the river frontage, existing views are industrial in nature and the impact could be minimized with appropriate mitigation including high quality design and/or screening, and adequate new planting to protect visual amenity. Water resources hydrogeology and surface water In terms of hydrogeology, the site is suitable as either a small or a large CSO site because the drop shaft would be constructed in London Clay (non-aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head would likely be approximately 1m 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 non-aquifer at the shaft site. Therefore, no impact is expected at shallow depth. In terms of surface water resources, the site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site, as the work is to be undertaken within the channel of the River Thames and specific mitigation will be required to prevent pollution. Ecology The site is less suitable as either a small or large CSO site, due to the requirement for temporary and permanent land-take from the River Thames. The site is immediately upstream of the stretch known to be the only spawning habitat for smelt in the Tideway. There may also be a need for seasonal restrictions on working and offsite mitigation/ compensation solutions, as well as potentially extensive post-works restoration. Flood risk The site is less suitable as either a small CSO or a large CSO site because mitigation would be required to protect it from flood levels. This would cause displacement with respect to the working areas being in the river, which could increase flood risk elsewhere locally. Air quality The site is suitable as either a small or a large CSO site. There is low potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site, although 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. However, this could be mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise The site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site, due to the proximity of the site to Chelsea Wharf to the north of the site, which contains a large number of residential properties. Any shielding afforded by the site perimeter barriers will be largely ineffectual due to the height of these receptors. In addition, the number of vehicles associated with the construction phase, and the proposed access route along Lots Road, would likely cause an adverse noise impact as HGVs enter and exit the site.

7.10.1 The site is suitable as either a small or a large CSO site, based on the low potential for contamination to have occurred. Wharf operations and the significant recorded pollution incident, in conjunction with offsite activities, may have impacted on shallow groundwater which could have migrated beneath the site. However, the degree of impact may be offset

somewhat by the location of the site being in the near vicinity of the River Thames, where dilution of contamination into the river may have occurred. 8 8.1 8.1.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is within the Cremorne ward of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 than English and London average for unemployment The area has a mixed population, with a range of ages and ethnic backgrounds. 8.1.2 In addition, the Cremorne Gardens appear to be mostly used by local residents. The gardens were not busy when the site was visited in the morning and afternoon, and the park users were mostly British and elderly. Issues and impacts Due to the proposed location of the engineering works for a small CSO or large CSO site, it appears unlikely there would be any direct loss of community facilities. From a community impacts perspective, the greatest impact from the use of the site is likely to be on the residential development adjacent to the north of the site and Cremorne Gardens. The site visits identified only minor noise disturbance from the recycling centre and overall, the site and surrounding area was identified as a generally quiet environment. The presence of a worksite would likely increase noise levels and potentially be disturbing to the adjacent gardens and residential development. The works are also likely to have a detrimental visual impact. There is a pier on the site belonging to the adjacent recycling facility. The use of the site is likely to disrupt the use of this pier, which may impact on the recycling facility. From a community perspective, the main difference between the two site types are the greater length of time the site would be required for the large CSO site. This is likely to increase disturbance to the park and occupiers of neighbouring residential properties. In addition, the use of the site for a connection to the large CSO site appears to require access to the site to be developed through the gardens, thereby having a more direct impact on this area of open space. If the site were used only for a small CSO site, it appears that access would be via the recycling centre, which is likely to have a lesser impact on the community. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction Two options are under consideration for this site: first as a small CSO, with an area of approximately 1,759 square metres during construction, and secondly as a large CSO, involving a larger diameter shaft, which requires an extended construction site of approximately 4,330 square metres. In both options, the construction site is within the foreshore immediately to the east of the recycling centre in Lots Road, with the large site extending north-eastwards to Cremorne Gardens. The site is mud and shingle (when exposed at low tide) and does not appear to include any buildings, but includes the jetty to the rear of the recycling centre. 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 referencing exercise has not established the ownership of the site but, as foreshore, it will be owned by the Port of London Authority (PLA) or the Crown Estate. Under the provisions of Section 8(1) of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981, the PLA is a statutory undertaker and Ministerial approval would be required for the acquisition of this land by another statutory undertaker, Thames Water, unless the acquisition is by agreement. There is a risk that, if terms cannot be agreed, ministerial approval may delay the scheme or may not be forthcoming at all. Early discussions should be held with the PLA to establish whether acquisition is likely to be agreed. The large site option requires an access through Cremorne Gardens, which is owned by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Cremorne Gardens is also public open space and may be classified as Special Land under sections 17 and 19 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. Access arrangements would need to be agreed with the council, but compulsory acquisition may be subject to ministerial approval (Section 17) or special parliamentary procedure (Section 19), with the attendant risk of delay to the project programme. There is no record of any leases or tenancies affecting the site. Land to be acquired In both options, the land required temporarily during construction and the smaller areas required permanently for the operational phase are within the foreshore and river. The site includes the existing jetty to the rear of the recycling centre. Planning enquiries suggest that there have been no planning applications on the site during the last five years. In both options, 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 a smaller area would need to be acquired permanently to house the operational plant. However, see 9.4.5 below. No rights of way or easements have been included in the assessment of this site acquisition cost. Access to the large site is via Cremorne Gardens, as referred to above. Access to the small site is shown as being taken from the existing circulation road within the recycling centre, for which appropriate rights or agreement with the owner/operator would be required. 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. In the case of foreshore, there is, by its nature, an inability to acquire land elsewhere to reinstate the lost Special Land, so compensation has not been assessed on an equivalent reinstatement basis. While 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, in the case of this site, a new river wall would be constructed and the bank would effectively be extended into the river. Reinstatement to the condition prior to the works would not be an option. In both site options, this new area would house the permanent structures and the use and design of this new area should be included in discussions with the PLA.

It is assumed that, as the land would be altered permanently, temporary acquisition of rights would not be appropriate and compensation is therefore assessed on a market value basis, as far as is possible for Special Land. Disturbance compensation comments As there is no actual occupation of the affected land, disturbance compensation is not considered likely to be an issue. However, there may be disturbance to the operator of the recycling centre if the jetty is used for loading. It appears to be used at least for storage. This would not be able to continue during the construction period and it is not clear whether this could be resumed after the works. Offsite statutory compensation comments The only potential for offsite statutory compensation under Section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 would appear to be from the operator of the recycling plant, if they have no interest in the land to be acquired. Further investigation is required but interference with rights to use the jetty may give rise to a claim, the size of which would depend on whether the loss is temporary or permanent. 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, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, artificial lighting and discharge of solids or liquids, which may cause a diminution in value to property. Site acquisition cost assessment For both site options, the overall site acquisition cost, even assuming permanent acquisition of all the land required and compensation for the loss of the jetty facility, is considered to be acceptable. SITE CONCLUSIONS BY DISCIPLINE Introduction

9.6 9.6.1
9.6.2
9.7 9.7.1
10 10.1
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 Large CSO site 10.2.1 This site is suitable as a large CSO site because it is a foreshore site and is therefore reasonably unrestricted in shape and size. It is also in close proximity to the main tunnel. There is good vehicular access through Cremorne Gardens for both construction and operational phases. There is also the potential for river access if road access through Cremorne Gardens is problematic. Small CSO site 10.2.2 This site is suitable as a small CSO site because it is a foreshore site, and is therefore reasonably unrestricted in shape and size. It is also in close proximity to the main tunnel. Road access could be problematic through the existing recycling plant and would require extensive enabling works through Cremorne Gardens; river access would therefore be an option. 10.2.3 Whether a small or a large CSO site is appropriate or not for the interception of the Lots Road Pumping Station CSO will be considered at the next stage, in conjunction with the drive strategy that is developed in the Engineering Options Report. Page 13
10.3
Planning Large CSO site
10.3.1 On balance, the site is considered less suitable for a large CSO site. 10.3.2 The potential visual impacts and loss of amenity to both Cremorne Gardens and nearby residential properties maybe more difficult to mitigate for in the case of the larger CSO site. Loss of public open space proposed by the site access through the gardens may require replacement or an improvement to existing facilities. Small CSO site 10.3.3 On balance, the site is considered suitable for a small CSO site. 10.3.4 There are a small number of the designations applicable to the site and it is considered that, with appropriate mitigation, these designations should not be unacceptably impacted upon. 10.3.5 In both cases, further consideration should be given to the design, appearance and siting of the permanent legacy structures to ensure they do not result in inappropriate or overly prominent features within the riverside and Thames Conservation Area. Environment
10.4
10.4.1 The site is assessed as less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site, given the substantial environmental constraints identified. 10.4.2 Based on current information, the site is suitable for both site sizes from the perspective of transport, townscape, water resources (hydrogeology), air quality and land quality. 10.4.3 This site is considered less suitable for both site sizes from the perspective of archaeology, built heritage, water resources (surface water), ecology, flood risk and noise. 10.4.4 Overall, the site is considered less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site and further investigation will be required as to whether archaeology, built heritage, water resources (surface water), ecology, flood risk and noise impacts could all be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations will include: Archaeology further investigations to determine the likely presence of archaeological receptors of high or medium value, and to identify appropriate mitigation. Built heritage - high quality and sensitive scheme design with possible screening to minimise impacts on built heritage receptors. Water resources (surface water) measures to prevent pollution of the River Thames. Ecology possible requirement for seasonal restrictions on working and offsite mitigation/compensation solutions, as well as potentially extensive post-works restoration to mitigate for temporary and permanent land-take from the River Thames. Flood risk measures to protect the site from flooding. Noise - standard noise barriers may not be effective, and other techniques may be required to reduce construction noise to acceptable levels. 10.5 Socio-economic and community Large CSO site 10.5.1 This location appears suitable for use as a large CSO site. From a community impacts perspective, the affect of the sites use is likely to be greater, due to the longer duration and Page 14
the need to create a permanent access route to the site through Cremorne Gardens. This would be used both during construction works and to service the after-use structures required onsite. 10.5.2 Due to the additional impacts outlined above, the use of the site for CSO connection only would appear likely to be less disruptive, and therefore the more suitable of the two options from a community impacts perspective. Small CSO site 10.5.3 This location appears suitable for use as a small CSO site. Its use appears likely to have the greatest impact on the residential development adjacent to the north and Cremorne Gardens. At present, the area has been identified as generally tranquil through site visits. The presence of a worksite is likely to increase noise levels, and potentially be disturbing to local residents and people using the gardens. Mitigation may involve discussions around noise minimisation measures and limiting site working hours. 10.5.4 Use of the site may also impact on local businesses, as there is a recycling centre adjacent to the site and there is a pier on the site which belongs to the recycling facility. Use of the site appears likely to disrupt use of this pier, which may impact on the recycling facility. Mitigation may involve discussions around relocation of pier facilities or compensation. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 The site should be classified as suitable on cost grounds, but the potential for acquisition risk and delay should be borne in mind. 10.6.2 The advantage of this site is that it is an undeveloped area of foreshore of limited value. 10.6.3 The disadvantage is that a special ministerial procedure may be needed to acquire it, which could cause delays to the project. Early discussions should be held with the PLA to establish if it would agree to the acquisition. 10.6.4 Access to the large CSO site is shown as crossing Cremorne Gardens, an area of public open space. Acquisition of appropriate rights may be subject to special parliamentary procedure. 10.6.5 There may be disturbance to the recycling centre. 10.6.6 Potential costs and risks are greater for the large CSO site option.

Transport Small CSO site Site considerations Access to road network Comments Site would be accessed from Lots Road utilising an existing access and egress for the recycling centre in front of the Thames Water Pumping Station. A one-way system through the site would be used by construction vehicles. Articulated vehicles were noted to have difficulty turning right out of the recycling centre. The recycling centre may need to be suspended to enable construction site access/egress. Permanent site access would be taken through Cremorne Gardens from Lots Road approximately 100m northeast of the recycling centre access. A new access would require construction through the park fencing. Lots Road is subject to a 30mph speed limit, is street lit and features single yellow Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Road access to site likely to be suitable for HGVs, although articulated vehicles were noted to have difficultly turning right out of the recycling centre (construction site egress) onto Lots Road. A new permanent access requires construction with the removal of park fencing. Several on street parking bays along Lots Road would require removal to enable adequate visibility from the construction egress and ensure the permanent access is not obstructed. Route to TLRN (A3220) runs through a residential area. The recycling centre may need to be suspended to enable construction access. Comments Construction and permanent site access would be taken from Lots Road through Cremorne Gardens approximately 100m northeast of the recycling centre access. A new access would require construction and some park fencing would require removal. Several parking bays would also require removal to ensure the access is not obstructed. Lots Road is subject to a 30mph speed limit, is street lit and features single yellow lines on both sides between on street parking bays. It has a carriageway width of 9.8m which is reduced to an effective width of 7.8m due to on street parking. Visibility appears to be adequate from the access. Access to the A3220 (TLRN strategic highway network) is approximately 60m to the northeast using Lots Road. Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Road access to site likely suitable for HGVs, requiring the construction of a new access and removal of park fencing. Some on street parking bays also require removal to ensure the access is not obstructed. Route to TLRN (A3220) runs through a residential area, but is otherwise unconstrained.

It has a carriageway width of 9.8m at the site access which is reduced to an effective width of 7.8m due to on street parking. At the construction site egress, Lots Road has a carriageway width of 7.8m. Visibility splays achievable from the construction egress point are 90m to the east and 20m to the west restricted by on street parking. Several on street parking bays require removal to enable adequate visibility to be achieved from the egress to the west. Visibility appears to be adequate from the permanent access, although several parking bays would require removal to enable access.

Transport Small CSO site Site considerations Comments require removal. Further investigation required into the possibility of using Cremorne Gardens for workforce parking. Summary The small site is suitable as a small CSO site utilising an existing access and egress point currently used for the recycling centre on Lots Road. Articulated vehicles were noted to have difficulty turning right out of the site. The recycling centre may require suspension to allow for construction site access which needs to be investigated further. The permanent site access requires construction through some park fencing for Cremorne Gardens. Potential road and rail access routes are suitable for HGVs with few notable constraints. Rail use is unlikely to be required as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material. River access is not essential for a CSO site as excavated material to be transported away by road to main site. Low potential for workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. No parking to be provided onsite for workforce and on street parking within close proximity of the site is unsuitable as restricted to a maximum stay of 4hrs. Some parking could potentially be provided within Cremorne Gardens which requires further investigation. Several on street parking bays along Lots Road would require removal to enable adequate visibility from the construction site egress and to ensure the permanent access is not obstructed. Alternative parking bays are available nearby. The large site is suitable as a large CSO site although a new vehicular access would require construction through Cremorne Gardens which would require the removal of some park fencing. Several on street parking bays would also require removal to ensure the access is not obstructed. Alternative parking bays are available nearby. Potential road and rail access routes are suitable for HGVs with few notable constraints. Rail use is unlikely to be required as CSO sites produce small quantities of excavated material.

Archaeology Site considerations Comments Designations, including Archaeological Priority Areas Summary of historical uses Potential receptors of very high or high value with the potential to be directly affected Potential receptors of medium value with the potential to be directly affected The site is located within the Kensington Archaeological Priority Area. The site occupies an area of Thames foreshore where the th 19 century historic maps indicate a number of wharves th existed from the late 19 century No high value archaeological receptors are recorded within the site boundary. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of high value being present within the site. A timber structure, possibly a post medieval jetty is recorded within the site. Post medieval river flood defences are also recorded in the west of the site. Both of these receptors are likely to be considered of medium value. It is also possible that further unrecorded archaeological receptors of medium value are present within the site. The dewatering of adjacent waterlogged deposits is unlikely to be an issue considering the location of the site within the Thames The construction of the Victorian wharves and the existing combined sewerage pipeline is likely to have adversely impacted any archaeological receptors which may be present in a localised area. 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.

Archaeology Site considerations Comments Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation. Summary Based on current information this site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site as two archaeological receptors of medium value are recorded within the site. With the currently available information it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. Waterlogged material may reasonably be anticipated. Due to the waterlogged nature of the site mitigation is likely to be costly. Archaeological risk in this location should not be discounted, a foreshore survey and excavation c.300m north of the site in an identical setting, discovered an early medieval fish trap and the remains of a Neolithic forest.

Built heritage and townscape Small CSO site Site considerations Comments some potential to mitigate adverse impacts through a high quality scheme design and/or screening. Summary From a built heritage perspective, the site is considered less suitable as a small CSO site because there is the potential for the construction and operation of the development to cause a direct impact upon the Thames Conservation Area, and to cause an indirect impact upon a further two conservation areas (the Sands End Conservation Area and the Battersea Park Conservation Area). Mitigation in the form of a high quality and sensitive scheme design together with possible screening would be required and would need to be very carefully considered in the context of a relatively high number of built heritage receptors which could experience some form of impact arising from the development. From a townscape perspective, the site is considered suitable as a small CSO site. Although there is the potential for adverse impacts on the character of the river frontage, existing views are industrial in nature and the impact could be minimized with appropriate mitigation including high quality design and/or screening, and adequate new planting to protect visual amenity.

Water resources hydrogeology and surface water Site considerations Comments Borehole locations and depths There are 14 historical records of water wells: 11 deep wells and 3 shallow wells within 1km radius. Depth range: 121.9 152.7m Depth range: 8.2 14.6m Potential impacts on surface water features Potential impacts on groundwater (resources and quality) Likely types of mitigation measures that would be required Potential issues Summary There is a direct pathway to the Thames due to the work being undertaken on the foreshore. 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 Alluvium which is classified as a non aquifer so no impact is expected. No mitigation required if groundwater is not impacted. 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) Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions
Not applicable
The drop shaft to be excavated in London Clay but to below piezometric head in Chalk. Potential pressure effects.
Confined head in Chalk to be considered as part of geotechnical design.
In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as either a small or a large CSO site because the drop shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 1 m 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 non aquifer at the shaft site. Therefore, no impact is expected at shallow depth. In terms of surface water resources, this site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site because the work is to be undertaken within the channel of the River Thames. As such, specific mitigation would be required to prevent pollution.
Ecology (terrestrial and aquatic) Site considerations Comments Statutory designations Non-statutory designated wildlife sites Battersea Park Nature Areas LNR is 2km from site Site is within River Thames & Tidal Tributaries SMI Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions None required Any constructions or working methods affecting the Thames, particularly above ground features of a permanent nature, but also temporary or buried works would require compensatory habitat provision. There may also be post-works restoration required. Any loss (particularly permanent loss) of mudflat would require compensatory habitat provision. This may involve an offsite solution which may affect feasibility. There may also be arduous post-works restoration required. Any buried constructions in the Thames would require careful habitat restoration and careful working methods. Protected or otherwise notable species within the Study Area Site is located partially on mudflats. Shallow water and marginal habitat immediately upstream is known to be only spawning area in Tideway for smelt. The area may also be utilised by uncommon aquatic invertebrates. Detailed negotiation may be required with the EA for the placement of structures (particularly permanent ones) in this location. Any constructions or dewatering in the Thames would require detailed aquatic invertebrate and fish investigation. There may be seasonal restrictions on working (avoiding March April spawning period) Consideration needs to be given to the cumulative impacts on hydrodynamics with reference to known critical flow velocities for fish. Not considered significant at a site specific level.
BAP priority habitats
Foreshore consists of BAP habitat mudflats. The Tidal Thames is a London BAP habitat
Potential issues
The cumulative impact of all jetties and other above ground structures proposed within the Thames may increase flow velocity in the river with effects on juvenile migratory fish
Summary
This site less suitable as either a small or large CSO site due to the requirement for temporary and permanent landtake from the River Thames. The site is immediately upstream of the stretch known to be the only spawning habitat for smelt in the Tideway. There may also be a need for seasonal restrictions on working, offsite mitigation/compensation solutions as well as potentially extensive post-works restoration requirements.
Flood risk assessment Site considerations Comments Flood Risk Zone River Channel - therefore flood zone 3b, functional flood plain. Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions The site would be developed with a coffer dam and should be protected to the 1 in 200year tidal return period. An evacuation plan would be required for this site in the event the dam is breached. Mitigation may also be required for the impact of displacement of flood water as a result of defending the site on the foreshore. The impact of such a physical construction (the coffer dam) would also have to be assessed for the impact of sediment erosion on the integrity of the defences. Assessment of conditions for SuDS Potential issues Summary Not suitable for SuDS due to location within the Thames. No further issues identified Not applicable Not applicable
This site is less suitable as either a small CSO or a large CSO site because the site requires mitigation to protect it from flood levels and this would cause displacement with respect to the working areas being in the river which could increase flood risk elsewhere locally.
Air quality Site considerations Comments AQMA Sensitive Receptors The air quality objectives for NO2 exceeded on major roads in vicinity of site. There are residential properties along Lots Road, Cremorne Road (A3220) and the A308. There residential properties opposite the site access on Lots road. There are residential properties on approximately 80m from the site, on Lots Road. Existing traffic issues Existing sources of significant air pollutants Notable gaps in existing air quality monitoring Potential issue The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions from vehicles along the A308, A3220 and A3217 corridors. See above There is no data at likely access to A3220 or A308 and the nearest existing data indicates existing exceedance of AQLV. The risk from additional exhaust emissions from construction HGVs is undefined at present. The risk from dust impacts at residential properties is low. Summary Additional vehicle emissions have a low potential to interfere with local air quality action plan policies. See above Collect a minimum of 6 months diffusion tube data at site access to A3220 or A308 or other point of access to major road network. Minimise HGV movements on the local road network during the peak hour. Standard dust control measures would minimise the effect of fugitive dust on nearby sensitive receptors. Small CSO site/Large CSO site 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.
This site is suitable as either a small or a large CSO site. There is a low potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site although 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, however this can be mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours.
Noise Site considerations Comments Noise band level (from Defra noise maps) 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 Chelsea Wharf on Lots Road to the north of the site. The residential properties facing the site are likely to experience relatively low daytime and night-time noise levels due to distance from the A3220 to the located to the north 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 northern boundary of the site at Chelsea Wharf. This consists of 6 storey high residential dwellings and office accommodation. Further residential properties are located along the length of Lots Road to the north-west of the site. Sensitive receptors at Chelsea Wharf are located on the boundary of the site with the shaft location at a distance of approximately 4m. The site access route is proposed to be onto Lots Road and therefore is likely that there would be an adverse noise impact from HGV traffic. Existing traffic issues Local road traffic, including the road traffic on the A3220 to the north east would contribute to the local noise climate in the area. Local road traffic, including the road traffic on the A3220 to the north east would contribute to the local noise climate in the area. Not applicable Not applicable Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Existing sources of significant noise emissions
Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Comments Potential issues 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 located at Chelsea Wharf to the north of the site. 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 nearby sensitive receptors, and in particular on residential properties located on Lots Road. 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 south eastern 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 to result in an adverse impact. The nearest receptors to the proposed shaft location are at a distance of approximately 4m 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 locations. Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions 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 Comments 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 The site is less suitable as either a small or a large CSO site due to the proximity of the site to Chelsea Wharf to the north of the site which contains a large number of residential properties. Any shielding afforded by the site perimeter barriers would be largely ineffectual due to the height of these receptors. In addition the number of vehicles associated with the construction phase and the proposed access route along Lots Road, is likely to cause an adverse noise impact as HGVs access and egress the site. Small CSO site/Large CSO site Mitigation required and conclusions
Land quality Site considerations Grid reference: 526574, 177092 Current Site Use Site: foreshore on River Thames, in front of Chelsea Wharf (shares boundary) and Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea Embankment. The site is relatively small and its boundaries do not extend beyond the boundaries of the Recycling centre. Nevertheless it is still very close to Cremorne Gardens and a 5 storey newly-built residential building to the north. No signs of ongoing or future development There is a pier onsite, which seems to belong to the Recycling Facility adjacent to the site, to the north west. Topography Field Evidence of contamination (ie, visual/olfactory) Current surrounding land use (immediately adjacent to site)

Wharf operations and the significant recorded pollution incident, in conjunction with offsite activities, may have impacted on shallow groundwater, which could have migrated beneath the site. However, the degree of impact may be offset somewhat by the location of the site being in the near vicinity of the Thames, where dilution of contamination into the river may have occurred.
