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.

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 Deptford Storm Relief 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. The site C32XC is occupied by communal gardens associated with the adjacent five-storey block of flats, known as Hughes House, which front onto Deptford Green. The site is irregular in shape and is accessed by Borthwick Street and Benbow Street. The site also incorporates a small childrens play area. The main working area takes up a third of the site at its northern end. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. The site also takes up a small area of the Charlotte Turner Primary School grounds to the west and intercepts the CSO to the northwest of the site, across part of Borthwick Street. The site is adjacent to Twinkle Park to the west, an electricity substation to the north and Benbow Street to the south, which is separated from the site by Hughes House and Charlotte Turner Primary School. Pedestrian access through the site is provided from Benbow Street to Borthwick Street and the primary school. Twinkle Park underwent major renovation in the 1990s and won a Civic Trust Award in 2000. The park has a pond and a landscaped area, and the other half of the park is a playground used by the Charlotte Turner Primary School during school hours. The site has a pedestrian path running through it and the site visit determined this to have a reasonable level of pedestrian movement, especially at the end of the school day, when parents collect children from the adjacent primary school. The AHOY Centre, a water-based activities centre, is opposite the site to the northeast. It is a registered charity that runs water-based activities for adults and young people, including school groups. The centre specialises in enabling disabled people to use yachting facilities. The site is within a number of the Greenwich Unitary Development Plan (2006) designated areas, including the Thames Policy Area and community open space. 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.

2.1.10 There is road access to the site via Borthwick Street. There is no rail network local to the site. There are no existing wharfage/jetty facilities at the site the site is approximately 80m inland, with no direct access to the river. A transport plan for the site is attached as Appendix 5. 2.1.11 Third-party assets and significant utilities are listed below and are shown on the services and geology plan in Appendix 6: Block of flats (Hughes House) to the east of the site Borthwick Wharf building to the north of the site, outside the boundary Deptford Substation to the north of the site Hughes Field Primary School 1-30 Benbow House 1-20 Oxenham House Deptford Substation Cable Tunnel through the outside north-eastern part of the site Deptford Storm 1.524 x 0.914m overflow sewer through the outside eastern part of the site. CSO connection is to this sewer. 2.1.12 The locations of other third-party assets, such as BT and fibre optic communication cables, are to be confirmed by further studies and utility searches and may not be shown on the services and geology plan.
Page 2
2.1.13 Information on the geology specific to this site can be found within the services and geology plan, which is in Appendix 6. This plan shows that the shaft would be founded in the Chalk. 2.2 2.2.1 Type of site The site C32XC is being considered as a CSO site to intercept the Deptford Storm Relief 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 To enable the construction of the CSO connection culvert (if undertaken as an open cut) and interception chamber at this site, phased single lane closures of Borthwick Street, operating under temporary traffic signal control, would be required. Pedestrians would be diverted to the opposite footway for each phase. During the first phase, the carriageway would require temporary widening over a short section to allow a minimum lane width through the works. Parking would need to be suspended in both phases. The extent of this suspension should be agreed with the local authority. It may not be feasible to use open cut for the connection culvert as this would pass through the substation grounds, where there is existing equipment that would need to be removed, therefore it may be necessary to undertake the connection as a heading. The preliminary assessment of the traffic management which would be required is indicated on the temporary traffic management plan in Appendix 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. 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.

4.1.3
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

The site is 1.5km from the TLRN (A2). The site could be reached from Borthwick Street.
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 suitabilit y of the site.

5.1.3
During the construction phase, access would be from Borthwick Street. It might be possible to introduce a one-way through-system, with access from Borthwick Street and egress to Benbow Street. However, this would then extend the effective site working area and take up all the gardens. The route to the A2 would potentially be unsuitable for HGVs as the roads are narrow, the route passes under one bridge with 4.8m height restrictions on Edward Street and it may be necessary to use shorter wheel-base, rigid vehicles. For the operational phase, access would be direct from Borthwick Street. Rail
5.1.4
5.1.5
A rail facility is located approximately 1km from the site. The route to the rail link would be constrained with a 3.7m height restriction on Edward Street, which is traffic calmed. The nearest rail station would be Deptford Rail, which is approximately 1km away from the site. However, rail access is not considered to be a significant factor for CSO sites. River
5.1.6
The site is inland, with no direct access to the river, although river access and jetty/wharfage facilities are not a requirement for CSO sites. Construction works considerations The site is within the gardens of a block of flats (Hughes House) fronting Deptford Green, with some trees and a childrens play area. No demolition of buildings would be required. The interception chamber has been located to try to avoid major services from the substation which run along Borthwick Road and Deptford Green, but further assessment would be needed to determine if there is sufficient space. Access to the river spillway would be restricted and provision of a temporary access may be required during construction of the interception chamber. The area is tight, with electricity substation facilities immediately to the west, and this would result in a difficult construction for the interception chamber (particularly if deepened, which is a likely requirement for heading the connection to the drop shaft). Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the main items of concern in this area are the residential building (Hughes House a five-storey building) immediately east of the site, Hughes Field Primary School immediately to the west, Deptford Substation and the Substation Cable Tunnel that runs through the outside northern edge and eastern part of the site. 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 outside the site. The connection culvert would cross under Borthwick Street and possibly large numbers of power cables running from the adjacent substation. It is assumed that construction of the connection culvert across the road would be by heading to avoid major electrical cables. To allow this, the interception chamber would need to be deepened below the standard requirements to provide sufficient headroom for this. Permanent works considerations The top structures to the drop shaft and flap valve chamber would be 1m above ground level. Health and safety The site is adjacent to a substation and there are a significant number of power cables in the road outside the site, over the route of the connection culvert.

There are no other unusual health and safety issues associated 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 London Borough of the Greenwich 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 policies in the Greenwich Unitary Development Plan, adopted in 2006. The planning designations and policies that are applicable to the site are detailed below. The site is wholly within an archaeological important area to the south. Policy D30, Archaeology, states that the council will expect applicants to properly assess and plan for the impact of proposed developments on archaeological remains where they fall within areas of archaeological potential, as defined on the constraints Map 10. In certain instances, preliminary archaeological site investigations may be required before proposals are considered. The council will seek to secure the co-operation of developers in the excavation, recording and publication of archaeological finds before development takes place by use of planning conditions/legal agreements, as appropriate. The site is adjacent to Twinkle Park, which is designed as public open space, and the very north-western portion of the site is designated as a site of nature conservation importance. The UDP describes the park as a small park with very attractive pond with good marginal vegetation. A boardwalk surrounds the pond, facilitating its use for pond-dipping by school groups. A small area in the north-western corner of the proposal site is also designated community open space and the following policies are therefore applicable. Policy DEV62, Nature Conservation and Ecology where development proposals should destroy of adversely affect the ecology or special interest of sites of nature conservation importance (see the proposals map and Table 1), the council will seek mitigation measures to be taken, or comparable replacement if the loss is unavoidable. The creation and enhancement of nature conservation features and provision of public access will be sought in new developments, where appropriate. Policy O7, Community Open Space public and private open space areas defined as community open space on the proposals map will be safeguarded from built development. New buildings and extensions to existing buildings will only be permitted where they are ancillary to the existing land use, limited in size and extent, sensitively sited and compatible with neighbouring development. The site is located wholly within the Thames Policy Area. Policy W1, Development Principles, states that developments in the waterfront must conserve and enhance the areas historical heritage and biodiversity, and integrate and connect new proposals with the existing pattern of development. Policy W2, Thames Policy Area states that the council will seek a high quality of design, respecting the special character of the River Thames within the Thames Policy Area Page 6

defined on the proposals map. Proposals within the area will be expected to satisfy the development principles under Policy W1. 6.3.10 The site is in close proximity to residential dwellings. 6.3.11 Policy E1, Pollution, seeks to protect the amenities of existing occupiers and users from the impacts of development, especially in terms of unacceptable emissions. 6.4 6.4.1 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 Greenwich 6.4.2 The site is designated as community open space in the Greenwich Unitary Development Plan (UDP). English Heritage 6.4.3 English Heritage advised that there are archaeological issues associated with the site. 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 There are a number of planning designations and policies that are applicable both on and adjacent to the site. These designations and policies have been identified and described in Section 6.3. The nearest dwellings are located less than 5m from the working area boundary and the adjacent primary school is located approximately 20m from the CSO drop shaft. These separation distances may not be considered sufficient in terms of safeguarding amenity, given the nature and longevity of construction works proposed. The site boundary also includes a small portion of the school yard. This should be amended for the site border to run alongside the boundary of the school and omit the school grounds. There is very limited scope to relocate the construction works to increase these separation distances, due to the nature of the site and location of surrounding sensitive receptors. If the site were used, significant mitigation to avoid negative impacts on the amenity of both the adjacent school and dwellings, as a result of noise, dust and traffic movements, would be required in order to comply with Policy E1. The hours of operation of the construction works may also be restricted to those normally operated within residential areas, which are typically 8am to 6pm during weekdays, 9am to 1pm on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays.

The main interception chamber is located opposite the site and the CSO connection culvert crosses a section of Borthwick Street. It may be possible to temporarily divert traffic to avoid any detrimental impacts on vehicle movement patterns. A detailed highway assessment is made in Section 7. The proposal site is adjacent to Twinkle Park, part of which is a designated site of importance for nature conservation. The CSO working areas are located approximately 70 metres away from the designated area. With appropriate mitigation, the construction works should not unacceptably impact on this designation. A further detailed assessment of the likely impacts is included in Section 7. A small area in the north-western corner of the site is designated community open space. There is potential to avoid direct loss of this area of open space, even though nominal, through amending the site boundary. Mitigation is likely to still be required to avoid other impacts on the continued amenity value of the open space during the construction period. The site falls within a designated archaeological priority zone. The appropriate level of site investigation should be agreed with the LPA, in accordance with Policy D30. Further appraisal of the archaeological potential on the site is provided in Section 7 of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport The site is less suitable, requiring the removal of approximately ten on-street parking bays, home zone street furniture and other traffic calming measures to access the TLRN (A2) and rail access point. Borthwick Street would require temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert for the sites interception chamber. The Thames Path would require diversion around the site boundary. An alternative site egress may be possible onto Borthwick Street if the egress onto Benbow Street creates a conflict with the school, although it is heavily restricted. The route to the TLRN (A2) is not suitable as it passes through the residential estate, a home zone with raised tables, on-street parking and street furniture, including width-restricting features. The route to rail link contains additional restrictions in the form of on-street parking, speed cushions and bridges with height and width restrictions. However, rail transport is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of excavated material produced by a CSO site. The site is close to the river, although river transport is not essential for a CSO site. Some parking could be provided onsite for the workforce, with no additional parking available on surrounding roads due to permit holder restrictions. Public transport accessibility for the workforce is good. Archaeology The site is suitable. The current information available indicates that structural remains of buildings dating to the 17th century may be preserved within the site and potentially at the indicative shaft location. These remains would require further evaluation before a mitigation strategy could be proposed. It is possible that further archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. While no direct evidence has been revealed, peat deposits containing archaeological material may be present at depth. These 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 considered to be suitable in relation to built heritage as it is likely to result in relatively few impacts upon the built heritage environment. In regard to townscape, the site is considered to be less suitable, since the proposals have the potential to result in adverse impacts on views from residential properties overlooking the site and on the character of the amenity space which the site occupies. It would also indirectly impact the character of the adjoining community open space and streetscape. Mitigation in the form of a high-quality scheme design, screening and landscaping of the site, especially during construction, would help to reduce adverse impacts upon the local townscape character. Water resources hydrogeology and surface water In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable because although the construction of the drop shaft would take place within Chalk (major aquifer), the site does not lie within 400-day capture zones of licensed abstractions. No long-term impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected, although dewatering of the Chalk and Thanet Sand would be required during the construction phase. The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 43m above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. The superficial deposits are alluvium, which is classified as a minor aquifer at the CSO site. There is likely to be a limited impact on flow in the shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution. Ecology The site is suitable. An initial review of the site indicates that it is likely to require only basic ecological surveys and limited mitigation, if selected. Flood risk This site is suitable as it is defended from flooding from the River Thames, and there is potentially space for surface SuDS, although infiltration SuDS may not be suitable, given the underlying geology of the site. Air quality This site is less suitable. There are residential properties immediately adjacent to the site, therefore there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at these properties. These impacts can be reduced through the application of standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality. This can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise The site is less suitable, due to the very short separation distances between the site and the closest sensitive receptors, in addition to the relatively high density of dwellings surrounding the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase is anticipated to be considerably high and therefore is likely to cause an adverse noise impact to properties located on Deptford Green. Perimeter hoarding would reduce potential noise impact but is likely to be relatively ineffective at shielding noise from the upper floor properties at Hughes House and Stretton Mansions, further to the northeast.

Land quality
7.10.1 The site is less suitable, based on the moderate potential for contamination of the site to have occurred, specifically from the foundry operations and electrical substation onsite and the fuel tanks, wharf/dock operations, power stations and gas industry in the near vicinity of the site. This has the potential to impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact exposure pathways and, to a lesser extent, volatilisation. Additionally, the potential exists for contaminants to be drawn to the deeper Chalk aquifer and for migration to surface water receptors to occur through shallow groundwater transport. 8 8.1 8.1.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is within the Greenwich West ward of Greenwich. Statistics from ONS 2001 Census data show the following indicators for the ward, in comparison to the rest of Greenwich, London and England as a whole: Higher rate of economically active, aged people that are full-time employees. A higher proportion having achieved Level 4 or 5 educational qualifications and a corresponding high proportion of people in managerial or professional occupations. A lower proportion of owner-occupied households and a higher proportion of housing rented from the local council. A higher proportion of people aged between 20 and 44, and also a slightly higher proportion of children aged 0 to 4. Approximately 76% of ward residents were born in the UK and there is a higher proportion of black African or black British African people. 8.1.2 These statistics indicate people in this area are mostly highly-educated, working professionals and there is a high proportion of very young children, indicating growing families in the area. The site visit recorded the presence of a mix of ethnic backgrounds in the area. The presence of the school and the AHOY Centre indicates the area may have high numbers of young people. Issues and impacts Due to the proposed location of the engineering works for a small CSO site, it seems likely that the greatest impact from a community perspective would be the loss of open space through the use of the site. The area has pedestrian footpaths through the site to the school and provides access to the flats adjacent. There is also a small play area with a slide and climbing frame. The area has been noted as being reasonably tranquil and the increase in noise disturbance is likely to affect local residents, especially those overlooking the site. There are currently trees on the site which are likely to be lost and this would also affect the views onto the site. The site is adjacent to Charlotte Turner Primary School to the south, and part of the indicated works area is on the school grounds. The proximity of the site to the school may affect teaching and learning due to noise disturbance. The location of the site may also make it difficult to access the school from Borthwick Street. The site area appeared to be very well used at the end of school time, with mothers walking children home through the open space. The noise and visual disturbance from the site is likely to affect people using the Thames Path adjacent to the site. People using the path may be affected by noise from the site. Twinkle Park is adjacent to the site to the west: the park is partially shared with the Charlotte Turner Primary School as a playground during school hours. The noise from the site may affect people using the park.

The AHOY Centre building may be affected by the increase in noise levels through the use of the site. The centre is catered towards young people, adults and people with disabilities, and these groups of people may be affected. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction The area identified as a potential CSO site is an area of open space between Hughes House and Hughes Fields Primary School. 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 land is owned by the London Borough of Greenwich and therefore it may be classified as Special Land under Section 17 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 and, as open space, it may be classified as Special Land under Section 19 of the 1981 Act. If this is the case and if an acquisition cannot be agreed with the council, a special parliamentary procedure may be needed before a Compulsory Purchase Order is confirmed. As the whole Order would be subject to the special parliamentary procedure, not just this site, the project could be delayed by a minimum period of several months in the best case and, in the worst case, the Order might be rejected by Parliament. In this event, an Act of Parliament would be needed before the Order could come into effect. This could delay the project for a much longer period and even result in the Order failing. Contact should be made with the landowner as soon as possible to establish if an acquisition can be agreed. Land to be acquired Planning enquiries suggest there have been no planning applications on the site during the last five years. The referencing exercise indicates the property is in the ownership of the London Borough of Greenwich but has not revealed any leases or tenancies. This assessment assumes that the majority of the identified site would be required on a temporary basis and only a smaller area permanently. The area required permanently for the operational phase measures approximately 15m x 15m and is situated in the northern part of the site, adjacent to Borthwick Street. Rights would also be required to construct the sewer interception chamber in the slipway access adjacent to land occupied by the AHOY Centre on the north side of Borthwick Street. No rights of way or easements have been included in the assessment of this site acquisition cost. Property valuation comments Compensation for the acquisition of new rights is normally based on the diminution in value to the land caused by the acquisition. Compensation for the permanent acquisition of land is normally based on market value. However compensation for the permanent acquisition of unusual types of property, where there is no general market, can be assessed on the basis of the cost of equivalent reinstatement at a new site, but there must be a genuine intention to reinstate. If compensation is assessed on a diminution in value basis for the new rights (temporary occupation during works, access rights during works, access rights for operational purposes) and on a market value basis for the permanent acquisition, the costs are likely to be relatively low and therefore acceptable.

If compensation is assessed on an equivalent reinstatement basis, then the acquisition costs would be significantly higher, but still acceptable. Although finding replacement land may be difficult, compensation has been assessed on an equivalent reinstatement basis in order to be prudent. 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. Disturbance compensation comments The assessment is made on the basis of reinstatement of the facilities to be lost elsewhere within the borough. This may give rise to a claim for disturbance but it is unlikely this would be significant and would still be acceptable. 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. The construction phase layout drawing shows the CSO interception chamber in the slipway from the AHOY Centre to the River Thames, and the loss of access to the river may give rise to a claim from the AHOY Centre. 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 The overall site acquisition cost is considered to be acceptable. SITE CONCLUSIONS BY DISCIPLINE Introduction
9.5 9.5.1
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
10.2.1 The site is suitable as a CSO site with the following reservations: Road access is restricted for large vehicles, and construction of the interception chamber/connection culvert would be constrained by the adjacent electrical substation and associated buried power cables. 10.2.2 Whether a CSO site of this size is appropriate or not for the interception of the Deptford Storm Relief CSO would be considered at the next stage, in conjunction with the drive strategy that is developed in the Engineering Options Report. 10.3 Planning
10.3.1 On balance, the site is considered not suitable as a CSO site. 10.3.2 There are a number of planning and environmental designations applicable to the site. The proximity of the construction works to the adjacent residential properties and primary school, as well as potential disruption to the local highway network, may be considered unacceptable and potentially difficult to sufficiently mitigate against.

10.4
Environment
10.4.1 Overall, the site is considered to be less suitable as a CSO site. 10.4.2 The site is suitable from the perspectives of archaeology, built heritage, water resources (hydrogeology and surface water), ecology, and flood risk. 10.4.3 The site is considered less suitable from the perspectives of transport, air quality, noise, townscape and land quality. 10.4.4 Overall, the site is considered to be less suitable and further investigation would be required to investigate whether transport, air quality, noise, townscape and land quality impacts could all be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations include the following: Transport traffic management would be required to remove on-street parking bays, home zone street furniture and other traffic calming measures to enable access to the TLRN. Townscape measures to reduce potential impacts on views from residential properties overlooking the site. Air quality measures to minimise potential impacts of fugitive emissions of dust during construction on residential properties and the school, which are immediately adjacent. Noise the use of perimeter hoarding to reduce potential noise impacts on residential properties immediately adjacent, although this is likely to be relatively ineffective at shielding noise from the upper floor properties at Stretton Mansions and Hughes House. Land quality any required remediation of contamination (at this moderate risk site) and / or measures to ensure no mobilisation of contaminants retained in situ. 10.5 Socio-economic and community
10.5.1 The site is not suitable as a small CSO site. The greatest impact from a community impacts perspective appears to be on the area of open space on the site. If the site is used, mitigation may involve discussions around relocating pedestrian access to the school from Borthwick Street, screening the site from the remainder of the open space and minimising the permanent features wherever possible to allow restoration of the grassed areas and paths. 10.5.2 The local residents adjacent to the site, the users of the Thames Path and Twinkle Park and the AHOY Centre may be affected by the noise levels from the site. Mitigation may involve discussions around minimising noise disturbance and potentially limiting working hours. 10.5.3 The Charlotte Turner Primary School may also be affected by the increase in noise, visual disturbance and the potential loss of part of the school grounds. Mitigation may involve discussions around minimising noise disturbance and potentially limiting working hours. The safety of any children walking home through the site may also need to be considered, and mitigation may involve discussions around alternative pedestrian routes. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 The site should be classified as suitable from a property perspective on the grounds of cost. 10.6.2 The advantage of this site is that it is undeveloped and the acquisition cost should be acceptable. The disadvantage is that a special parliamentary procedure may be needed to acquire it, which could cause unacceptable delays to the project. Early discussions should be held with the council to establish if it would agree to the acquisition.

APPENDIX 9 ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL TABLES
Transport Site considerations Access to road network Comments Site will be accessed from Deptford Green at the junction with Borthwick Street. This will require the removal of on-street parking. Site egress will be onto Benbow Street to the south utilising an existing access. Some on street parking along Benbow Street will also require removal. An alternative egress onto Borthwick Street to the northwest could be considered if the egress on Benbow Street conflicts with the school. The site boundary incorporates part of the Thames Path which will require diversion. Benbow Street is a street lit no through road subject to a 20mph speed limit. Visibility from the egress appears to be adequate in both directions. Borthwick Street will require a temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert for the sites interception chamber. Access to the TLRN (A2) is via Deptford Green home zone, McMillan Street, A200 Creek Road, and south on the A2209 Deptford Church Street. The initial access route on Deptford Green and McMillan Street is subject to raised tables, surface paving (shared space), on street parking and other home zone street furniture features such as width restricting planters. There is a rail bridge over Deptford Church Street with a vehicular height restriction of 4.8m. The raised tables and home zone street furniture will require removal to enable construction vehicle access to and from the site. Distance 1.3km to the TRLN (A2). See Transport Access Plan in Appendix 5. Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Access route is least suitable and some on street parking along Borthwick Street and Benbow Street will require removal. The Thames Path will require diversion around the site boundary. Borthwick Street will require a temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert. Access route to the TLRN (A2) requires the removal of raised tables and home zone street furniture to enable construction vehicle access. Route also encounters a rail bridge with a height restriction.
Appendix 9 - Page 1
Transport Site considerations Access to river Comments Site located within close proximity to river; although river access not essential as excavated material will be transport away by road to main hub site. Mitigation required and conclusions Site located within close proximity to river; although river access not essential as excavated material will be transport away by road to main hub site. Route to East London Line Depot contains many constraints and is least suitable. The route runs through residential area of the Deptford Green Home Zone, under restricted bridges on Arklow Road and Edward Street, and through another residential area on Abinger Grove, Arklow Road, Edward Street and Milton Court Road. Route also contains on street parking throughout residential areas and several traffic calming measures which may require removal. The East London Line Depot has the potential to be used during the day however significant constraints and issues with loading exist.
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 East London Line Depot via Deptford Green, McMillan Street, A200 Creek Road/Evelyn Street, Abinger Grove, Arklow Road, Edward Street and Milton Court Road. Constraints on route include the same as those on the route to the TLRN and also on street parking and speed cushions along Abinger Grove, Arklow Road, and Edward Street which are residential streets. Milton Court Way also contains speed humps which require removal. Route to rail runs under rail bridge on Arklow Road which is subject to a width restriction of 7ft and a height restriction of 12 3, and a further two rail bridges on Edward Street with 121 height restrictions. The East London Line Depot has the potential to be used during the day although significant use constraints and issues with loading would exist. Distance is 1.3km from site accesses.
Parking
Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce. No alternative parking is available on surrounding roads due to permit holder restrictions. Approximately ten on street parking spaces will be displaced by the site.
Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce, with no alternative parking available on surrounding roads. Around ten on street parking spaces will be displaced by site. Good potential for workforce to access the site via public transport.

Appendix 9 - Page 2
Transport Site considerations Traffic Management Comments On street parking, street furniture, raised tables and other home zone features on Deptford Green and Borthwick Street will require removal to allow construction vehicle access. Thames Path will require diversion around the site boundary. Speed humps along Milton Court Way require removal. Borthwick Street will require a temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert. Summary: Site is less suitable, requiring the removal of approximately ten on street parking bays, home zone street furniture, other traffic calming measures to access the TLRN (A2) and rail access point. Borthwick Street will require a temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert for the sites interception chamber. The Thames Path will require diversion around the site boundary. An alternative site egress may be possible onto Borthwick Street if the egress onto Benbow Street creates a conflict with the school, although is heavily restricted. The route to TLRN (A2) is not suitable passing through residential estate, a Home Zone with raised tables, on street parking and street furniture including width restricting features. The route to rail link contains additional restrictions in the form of on street parking, speed cushions and bridges with height and width restrictions. However, rail transport is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of excavated material produced by a CSO site. The site is close to the river, but river access not essential for a CSO site. Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce, with no additional parking available on surrounding roads due to permit holder restrictions. Public transport accessibility for the workforce is good. Mitigation required and conclusions Removal of on street parking, street furniture, traffic calming measures and home zone features for road and rail access. Thames Path requires diversion around the site boundary. Borthwick Street requires a temporary closure during the construction of the connection culvert.
Appendix 9 - Page 3
Archaeology Site considerations Designations, including archaeological priority areas Summary of historical uses Comments The site is within the Greenwich Archaeological Priority Area (APAS) 19th century OS maps indicate the site to be located in an area of industrial development. The 1st edition OS (1868) shows a foundry in the west part of the site with factories, workshops and residential terracing lining the western side of the site to the south. Along the eastern side of the site (within) runs Hughes Fields road. By the 1950s this has changed use to a timber packing case works. The site has contained development to the present. No archaeological receptors of high value are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of High value being within the site. Potential receptors of medium value with the potential to be directly affected One archaeological receptor exists within the northern part of the site. Site. This was a wall and footing dating to the 17th-18th centuries.MLO76202. A watching brief (2001) on a cable trench revealed foundations of several, probably domestic buildings of 17th-19th-c date above alluvial silts. A Desk based Assessment has already been completed for this site. This does not preclude the possibility of further unrecorded archaeological receptors of Medium value being within the site. Other receptors with the potential to be directly affected Construction impact of potential waterlogged deposits containing archaeological remains may cause dewatering. This potential impact should be considered even though the site is not in Appendix 9 - Page 4
Mitigation required and conclusions N/A
A detailed desk based assessment is required to sufficiently understand the archaeological resource and define risk to potential development.
Potential receptors of very high or high value with the potential to be directly affected
Archaeology Site considerations Comments close proximity to the Thames River. Extent of existing disturbance Construction impact of previous development for the various recent and modern structures may have disturbed earlier remains but recent evaluation has shown that structural remains dating to the 17th century and possibly earlier still exist within the site. Borehole data in the area suggests raised made ground of 5m some of which could be archaeological in nature. Detailed design proposals, and an outline method statement will be required to enable initial assessment of development impacts, and to inform mitigation proposals. Structural remains of buildings dating to the 17th century may be preserved within the site and are likely to be present at the indicative location of the shaft location. It is likely that Structural remains of post medieval date could be mitigated through excavation. A detailed desk based assessment is required to sufficiently understand the archaeological resource and define risk to potential development. Mitigation required and conclusions
Potential issues
Mitigation methods could include: Review/production of existing desk based assessments (Report exists) Production of deposits model Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations Archaeological evaluation Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation
Summary: The site is suitable. The current information available indicates that structural remains of buildings dating to the 17th century may be preserved within the site and potentially at the indicative shaft location. These remains would require further evaluation before a mitigation strategy could be proposed. It is possible that further archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. While no direct evidence has been revealed peat deposits containing archaeological material may be present at depth. These have been commonly recorded throughout London in a similar proximity to the 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.

Protected Views Greenwich Park: 165m (as designated in the London Views Management Framework) Mitigation required and conclusions In the case of listed buildings and protected views 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 will be required to further inform the likely impact of the development and to determine more detailed mitigation proposals. On the basis of currently available information (August 2009), mitigation will not be applicable in the case of conservation areas, registered historic parks and gardens, locally listed parks and gardens and locally listed buildings.

Not applicable
Not applicable
There is the potential for ten listed buildings (including two Grade II*) and one protected view to be indirectly affected by construction and operation of the development, especially during construction.
None of the listed structures share a visual relationship with the site and therefore are unlikely to be affected by construction and operation of the development. As such no mitigation would be required. The Greenwich Park protected view lies some distance away from the site and is therefore unlikely to be affected by the proposals and would therefore not require any mitigation.
Other receptors of lesser importance with the potential to be indirectly affected
Not applicable
Not applicable
Sensitive landscape character areas likely to be affected
School grounds and Public Open Space adjacent to the west of site. Sensitive site on residential amenity space associated with flats fronting Deptford Green. Electrical substation to the north with River Thames further beyond, residential development to the east and south, mix of residential, institutional (school) and industrial development to the west. Loss of mature trees and vegetation increases openness of site. The presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings would result in temporary, severe adverse direct impacts on the character of the site and streetscape of Borthwick Street, and temporary, adverse indirect
Retention of trees where possible and protection in accordance with BS 5837. Introduction of landscape scheme to include appropriate surface treatments and planting to replace lost vegetation, enhance the character of the site, and relate to the streetscape of Borthwick Street. The current indicative proposals would potentially severely impact the character of the amenity space which it occupies. It would also indirectly impact the character of the adjoining Community Open Space and streetscape. Overall, this site is less suitable from a townscape
Appendix 9 - Page 7
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments impacts on neighbouring areas. Permanent elements would have an adverse impact on the character of the site and the streetscape of Borthwick Street. Potential views likely to be affected Strategic View to the north of site. Open views from the overlooking residential properties, residences in Benbow Street, Hughes Fields Primary School, and Borthwick Street. Partially interrupted views from Watergate Street, adjoining Community Open Space, and Stretton Mansions. During construction, views of cranes from properties listed above, the River, open space north of McMillan Street, residences to the south and east, adjacent school, and industrial development to the west. Permanent elements mainly visible from Borthwick Street, overlooking residences, and school. During construction, the use of hoardings and appropriate lighting would reduce visual impact at least from the ground level and lower floors of overlooking residential building. Design of top structure, vent column, and electrical kiosk to be given careful consideration. Planting to screen permanent plant. Integrated landscape scheme to enhance visual amenity and reduce visual impact. This site is less suitable since the proposals would cause a major visual impact on the overlooking residences and the adjacent school. The permanent elements would impact upon the visually amenity from Borthwick Street, considering the existing green views. Any permanent structures would need to be of a high quality design and/or screened and landscaped in order that any indirect impacts upon the local townscape character and local views can be mitigated. Mitigation required and conclusions perspective.
Particular considerations on sites where new permanent structures are required
Permanent structures at C32XC have the potential to indirectly impact upon the townscape character and local views. Consequently, careful consideration would need to be given to the appearance of any above ground structures in the scheme design and some form of screening and landscaping for the site may be required. Construction and operation of the development could result in adverse impacts upon the local townscape character and local views. There is the potential to partly mitigate adverse impacts through a high quality scheme
Potential issues
The scheme design would need to be of a sufficiently high quality and may need to incorporate some screening and landscaping in order that the potential visual impact of the
Appendix 9 - Page 8
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments design and/or screening and landscaping. Mitigation required and conclusions development upon the local townscape character and local views is minimised.
Summary: The site is considered to be suitable in relation to built heritage as it is likely to result in relatively few impacts upon the built heritage environment. In regard to townscape, the site is considered to be less suitable since the proposals have the potential to result in adverse impacts on views from residential properties overlooking the site, and on the character of the amenity space which the site occupies. It would also indirectly impact the character of the adjoining Community Open Space and streetscape. Mitigation in the form of a high quality scheme design, screening and landscaping of the site, especially during construction, would help to reduce adverse impacts upon the local townscape character.

Mitigation required and conclusions The drop shaft will be constructed to an invert level of approximately 55.81 mbgl therefore the shaft will be founded in the (1) Chalk. Piezometric head in Chalk will be approximately 42.81 m above the base of the construction. Therefore, dewatering would be required and should be considered as part of geotechnical design.
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;

Water resources hydrogeology and surface water Site considerations Comments within 1 km radius inside Lewisham Council Boundary No abstraction borehole within 1km radius inside Greenwich Council Boundary Borehole locations and depths There are 11 historical records of water wells within 1km radius. Depth range: 8.09 201.78 m Potential impacts on surface water features The site is located adjacent to the River Thames. The site is behind flood defences so the pollution risk is through drainage to the Thames. An impact on groundwater is likely since the drop shaft is to be constructed in Chalk (major aquifer) overlain by Thanet Sand (minor aquifer) which will need to be dewatered. At shallow depth, the shaft is located in Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer. Impact on shallow aquifer is likely to be limited where water is excluded from the excavation by sheet piling. No mitigation will be required for groundwater as construction of drop shaft will not take place within the 400 day capture zone of licensed abstractions. The drop shaft to be excavated in Chalk below the piezometric head, therefore dewatering of the Chalk and Thanet Sand would be required. Limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. Work needs to be undertaken in consideration of Pollution Prevention Guidelines PPG1, PPG5 and PPS23. See below (likely types of mitigation measures that will be required). Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions
Potential impacts on groundwater (resources and quality)

Potential issues
Piezometric head in Chalk to be considered as part of geotechnical design. The issue of the appropriate disposal of discharges from dewatering to be considered.
Summary: In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable because although the construction of the drop shaft will take place within Chalk (major aquifer), the site does not lie within 400 day capture zones of licensed abstractions. No long term impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected, although dewatering of the Chalk and Thanet Sand will be required during the construction phase. The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 43 m above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. The superficial deposits are Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer at the CSO site. Limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution.
Ecology (terrestrial and aquatic) Site considerations Statutory designations Comments Sue Godfrey Nature Park LNR is within 500m of this site. Brookmill Road LNR and Mudchute Park Farm LNR are within 2km. Non-statutory designated wildlife sites Site is 50m from River Thames & Tidal Tributaries SMI. CSO site is approximately 50m from Twinkle Park site of Local Importance for nature conservation. BAP priority habitats The site comprises London BAP habitat Parks, Squares and Amenity Grassland. Trees onsite and adjacent buildings may have potential to support roosting bats. Site has low potential to support reptile species. There may be suitable habitat present adjacent to this site to support breeding black redstart, and habitat onsite for foraging. No direct impact on aquatic receptors. Care will need to be taken to avoid discharge or run-off into the river. Working practices will need to minimise the risk of aquatic pollutants affecting the pond present within the park. Loss of parkland or amenity grassland habitat may require compensatory provision. If bat roosts were found to be present, mitigation would be required, possibly including offsite provision. Careful placement of lighting to minimise illumination of surrounding habitat is likely to be required. Mitigation will be possible but may require offsite provision. If foraging black redstart were found to be present then some mitigation might be required, but this should be easily accomplished. No further issues identified Mitigation required and conclusions None required
Protected or otherwise notable species within the Study Area
Potential issues
No further issues identified
Summary: The site is suitable. An initial review of the site, indicates that it is likely to require only basic ecological surveys and limited mitigation if selected.
Flood risk assessment Site considerations Flood risk zone Comments Flood Zone 3 (1 in 200 year flood extent) but defended to the 1 in 1000 year flood level there is a residual risk of a breach for which mitigation would need to be considered as part of the FRA. Sewage transmission infrastructure is considered to be water compatible according to table D.2 of PPS25 Assessment of conditions for SuDS There is likely to be space onsite for SuDS and the site is existing greenfield, although the geology is alluvial clay and further investigation is required to determine if the site is suitable for infiltration SuDS. No further issues identified N/A Mitigation required and conclusions An FRA would be required to assess the residual risk of flooding to the site.
Potential issues
No further issues identified
Summary: This site is suitable as it is defended from flooding from the River Thames, and there is potentially space for surface SuDS, although infiltration SuDS may not be suitable given the underlying geology of the site.
Air quality Site considerations Existing air quality Comments The air quality objectives for NO2 exceeded on major roads in vicinity of site. There are residential properties along Evelyn Street/Creek Road (A200) and the access route to the site. The nearest residential properties are within 5m of the site on Deptford Green. Existing traffic issues The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions from vehicles along the A200 corridor. See above There is no data at likely access to A200 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 moderate. 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 moderate 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 the A200 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 will 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
Summary: This site is considered less suitable. There are residential properties immediately adjacent to the site, therefore there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at these properties. These impacts can be reduced through the application of standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality. This can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours.
Noise Site considerations Noise band level (from Defra noise maps) Comments Information from Defra noise maps indicates daytime noise levels of less than 58 dB LAeq and night-time noise levels of less than 50 dB LAeq at the nearest residential properties located to the site. The residential properties closest to and facing the site are likely to experience relatively low daytime and night-time noise levels due to their distance from any major roads. Noise levels from the Defra noise maps provide an indication of prevailing noise levels only, and will not be employed in any detailed assessments for chosen sites. Sensitive receptors There are sensitive receptors close to the eastern and western boundaries of the site. The closest receptors are located at Hughes House on Deptford Green, immediately adjacent to and overlooking the site. Further residential properties are located at Stretton Mansions on Hamilton Crescent to the east of the site. Hughes Field Primary School is located to the west of the site at a distance of approximately 20m to the temporary working area and 20m from the shaft location. Properties at Hughes House to the east of the site consist of 5 storey residential dwellings and are located on the boundary of the temporary working area boundary and 10m from the shaft location. Sensitive receptors at Stretton Mansions, also to the east consist of 5 storey residential flats. These are located approximately 40m from the temporary working area and 65m from the shaft location. Existing traffic issues Road traffic on local roads including distant road traffic on the A220 to the south will contribute to the existing noise climate in the area. Not applicable Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Existing sources of significant noise emissions Comments Road traffic on local roads including distant road traffic on the A220 to the south will contribute to the existing noise climate in the area. There are no railways or significant industrial noise sources noted in the immediate surrounding area. Potential issues Construction: The construction period is estimated at up to 2 years and working hours will be 12 hours per day (7am-7pm) Monday to Saturday. This has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts to sensitive receptors surrounding the site. The HGV movements has the potential to have an adverse impact on residential receptors located on Deptford Green. The immediate site area is fairly 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 to the north of the site would maximise the distance between them and the nearest sensitive receptors and minimise potential disturbance. Proposed 3m site boundary fencing will provide useful noise mitigation to some plant and construction activities. 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 10m and it is unlikely that vibration levels will 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. Operation: With appropriate attenuation (if necessary), there is no reason why 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. Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Comments noise from the ventilation column and top chamber should result in adverse noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. Summary: The site is less suitable due to the very short separation distances between the site and the closest sensitive receptors, in addition to the relatively high density of dwellings surrounding the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase is anticipated to be relatively high and therefore is likely to cause an adverse noise impact to properties located on Deptford Green. Perimeter hoarding will reduce potential noise impact but is likely to be relatively ineffective at shielding noise from the upper floor properties at Stretton Mansions and Hughes House.

Contamination category
Category 2 Assessed as Moderate Risk
Land quality Summary: The site is less suitable based on the moderate potential for contamination of the site to have occurred, specifically from the foundry operations and electrical substation onsite and the fuel tanks, wharf/dock operations, power stations and gas industry in the near vicinity of the site. This has the potential to impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact exposure pathways, and to a lesser extent volatilisation. Additionally, the potential exists for contaminants to be drawn to the deeper Chalk aquifer and for migration to surface water receptors to occur through shallow groundwater transport. Notes:
1.
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.
