18 Summary of Mitigation and Residual Effects
18 Summary of Mitigation and Residual Effects 18.1 Summary of mitigation 18.1.1 The outset of the EIA process involved an iterative approach to inform the design of the Proposed Development and where practicable, measures to mitigate likely significant negative environmental effects were incorporated into the Proposed Development to avoid, reduce or offset such effects. The result is such that the Proposed Development includes inherent mitigation. 18.1.2 Where the assessment has resulted in potential significant negative effects mitigation has been identified to: Control and manage the demolition and construction activities; and Control the operation of the Proposed Development. 18.1.3 Outlined below in Table 18.1 is a summary of the mitigation measures identified in each of the technical chapters of this ES (Chapters 6 – 16) for the construction and operation stages. 18.1.4 Appropriate and relevant planning conditions are invited to secure the required mitigation. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 1 Table 18.1: Summary of Mitigation Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Ground Conditions and Contamination Construction Effect of Exposure to Contamination associated with historic land use on human health Mitigation Measures Preparation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) taking into account relevant good site practice with respect to the handling of potentially contaminated material and submitted for approval to LBH pre-commencement of development. The CEMP will be enforced and monitored throughout the construction phase. The health of construction workers and the general public from potentially contaminated soils and materials will be controlled under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007. Where necessary, construction workers will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), such as gloves and dust ventilation masks to prevent dermal contact and inhalation or ingestion of contaminants. Appropriate site hygiene and welfare facilities will be provided as per relevant regulations. The associated hazards of handling potentially contaminated materials will be conveyed to all site workers and all works will be conducted in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive publication entitled “Protection of Workers and the General Public during the Development of Contaminated Land” (1991). A more detailed site investigation will be undertaken to ensure that all potential contamination risks are adequately identified, characterised and mitigated within all health and safety risk assessments, construction activities for the protection of site workers and provide further ground information for detail design. Soil waste classification will be required for appropriate disposal off-site or for re-use on-site. As part of any re-use of materials on site a further risk assessment of material will be required and a Material Management Plan (MMP) could be completed. Any additional contamination that is encountered during the mitigation works will be addressed in accordance with a Remediation Method Statement. The works will be inspected and validated and documented in a Verification Report. The underground storage tanks will also be decommissioned, and removed including interceptor chambers and associated pipework according to a Remediation Method Statement. The works will be inspected, validated and documented in a Verification Report. Water/dust suppressant will be sprayed onto material being worked during the Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 2 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures cut/excavation exercise for the basement or culvert diversion works to damp down any dust and prevent it from becoming airborne, where necessary. If asbestos containing materials are identified then they will either be removed as part of the site preparation in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 of mitigated under a Material Management Plan to ensure the potential risks are appropriately managed. A watching brief will be implemented during the excavation to ensure that any unexpected contamination across the Site is identified, risk assessed and treated appropriately. Should additional contamination hotspots be identified during the site investigation prior to construction, these will be remediated in line with the agreed Remediation Strategy. Effect of Exposure to Contamination on Third Party Occupants and Properties As detailed above, further site investigation will be undertaken prior to construction to ensure that all potential contamination risks are adequately identified, characterised and mitigated within all health and safety risk assessments, construction activities for the protection of third parties. This could be undertaken post planning consent, precommencement of development. Water/surfactant will be sprayed onto material being worked to damp down any potentially generated dust and prevent it from becoming airborne, where necessary. Any asbestos containing materials that are identified on Site should be removed prior to any necessary demolition in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to ensure the potential risks are appropriately managed. Precautions will also be taken while transporting excavated materials off-Site to ensure that any risk of fugitive dust emissions are prevented, such as the sheeting of wagons. Vehicle movements will be restricted to an agreed travel plan and construction activities will be undertaken during standard construction industry working hours or as agreed in advance with Haringey Council in the event of the need for work outside of these times in exceptional circumstances. Effect on Groundwater from existing sources of contamination The removal of protective layers of superficial deposits will be avoided where possible to prevent the potential migration pathways. It will also need to be confirmed that that there is a significant thickness of low permeability material at the base of excavations which do not penetrate and create pathways into the underlying Lambeth Beds, Thanet Sands and White Chalk. Further assessment of groundwater will need to be undertaken during the construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 3 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures phase works, however it is possible that a system may need to be put in place to ensure the appropriate management of groundwater as a result of the dewatering of excavations including suitable disposal of the groundwater. A Remediation Strategy will be employed to identify the presence of any contamination when undertaking work adjacent to the underground tanks in the north of the site during the construction works and a system put in place to control and manage any contamination encountered. Suitable protection or the consideration of decommissioning the groundwater abstraction well on-site if no longer in use should be undertaken prior to any construction works. If decommissioned it will be undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency publication “Good Practice for Decommissioning Redundant Boreholes and Wells”. During any piling consideration will be given to the use of clean drilling techniques and the avoidance of techniques which could result in the creation of vertical contamination pathways into natural strata beneath the London Clay. During the re-directing of the Moselle Brook, it should be ensured that no spillages and leakages from site plant, equipment or other activities enter the surface water. This should also include surface run-off from the development platform and the release of any silt/sediment into the Brook. This will be undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency Pollution Prevention Guidance Note 6 “Working at Construction and Demolition Sites”. The diversion of the Brook will need to be undertaken in consultation and knowledge of the Environment Agency. It may be required that a programme of monitoring is implemented pre and post-development to confirm the status of water quality. The recommendations outlined above would be documented within the CEMP and followed to ensure good working procedures and good housekeeping. Effect of Contamination on Potable Water Supply Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Guidance detailed in the UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR): Guidance for the Selection of Water Supply Pipes to be used in Brownfield Sites (UKWIR 2010) will be adhered to during the redevelopment of the Site and it may be necessary to adopt barrier type pipe materials which prevent contaminant ingress and to backfill service corridors with clean imported material in those areas where Made Ground is present. However this will not apply to potable water supply pipes currently on Site that may be utilised by construction workers which may or may not be constructed with permeable pipe materials. 18 | 4 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Further site investigation works as required would be undertaken prior to installation of water supply pipes to ensure that all potential contamination risks associated with water supply are adequately mitigated in accordance with the UKWIR guidance. Operation Effect of Contamination on Future Site Occupants and Properties A robust and long term durable solution will be implemented for the Proposed Development particularly in the areas where residential properties will be present. This will comprise engineered mitigation measures through the placement of materials suitable for use in accordance with CLEA soil screening values for a residential use and a clean soil cover thickness in line with technical guidance provided in BRE 465 “Cover Systems for Land Regeneration”. The structural risk from chemical attack will already have been mitigated at the design and construction phases by the use of the appropriate concrete specification as detailed within the BRE Special Digest 1: 2005 Concrete in Aggressive Ground Services and utilities will be laid in clean and dedicated service trenches. The risk to future site maintenance/utility workers in excavations will be mitigated by the installation of services within dedicated clean corridors. Such workers will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE). Appropriate site hygiene and welfare facilities will be provided as per relevant regulations. All works will be undertaken in accordance with health and safety risk assessments for the protection of site workers. Potable water supplies will have been protected during the construction phase and all services and utilities will have been placed within clean dedicated trenches and backfilled with clean material. Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Effect of Contamination on Third Party Properties and Occupants Due to the negligible significance of effects on third party occupants or properties, no mitigation is required. Effects on Surface and Groundwater Potential risks will have been mitigated as part of development design during the construction phase therefore no mitigation is required. Truncation or loss of buried/surface archaeological remains Archaeological mitigation can be agreed in several forms, namely: Preservation 'in situ' (i.e. the avoidance of any effect upon buried archaeological assets); or 18 | 5 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Preservation by record (i.e. the controlled archaeological investigation and recording of assets); or A combination of the above. Consideration will be given to alternatives to preservation by record if possible and practicable. However, it is recommended that preservation by record can be achieved prior to the commencement of the limited demolition, extensive earthworks and construction activity. This may include observation of test pits/trenches for other purposes (i.e. further geotechnical investigations) or specific archaeological investigations (such as trial trench evaluation, open area strip where practicable etc.). The scope of archaeological mitigation works will be agreed with the archaeological adviser at GLAAS (Adam Single). Irrespective of the timing of archaeological investigation, it will be subject to the agreement in the form of a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) under the terms of a standard planning condition. Effect on Built Heritage Assets The Proposed Development is considered, through design, to ensure the effects of the Site on other heritage assets is reduced as far as possible by design, for example, through the use of high quality materials. However since any direct lines of sight from any heritage assets into the Site are significantly obscured by the existing development and infrastructure, no further mitigation measures are considered appropriate or proportionate to meaningfully reduce the effect of change. Due to the location of the Site in such a densely built up area of London it is advised that there is compliance with CDM regulations in relation to good housekeeping practice on site and within the immediate environs to reduce the effects such as dust, noise and the management of site traffic. In addition, consideration could be given to artwork on any hoardings or scaffolding covers, such as the use of building wraps, particularly along the Hornsey High Street frontage, to minimise adverse effects of the construction works on the local heritage assets. However, the inclusion of these measures has not been taken into account within the assessment of residual effects. Effect on Hornsey High Street Public Baths and Wash House Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Based on the current condition of the baths, its lack of designation and inclusion in the HER it is concluded that a Level 1 Historic Building Survey of the Public Baths will be an adequate level of preservation through record. It is also planned to retain the central portion of the façade of the Public Baths, including the central doorway and plaque with the former borough’s arms, and relocate adjacent to the façade of the newly constructed sub-station. 18 | 6 Chapter Noise and Vibration Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Operation Effect on Built Heritage Assets The Proposed Development is considered, through design, to ensure the effect of the Site on other heritage assets is reduced as far as possible through design features. Assuming all works are undertaken in accordance with the principles set out in Chapter 4 – The Proposed Development and Alternatives and appropriately monitored, no further mitigation measures are proposed. Construction Construction Noise & Vibration The appointed principal contractor will be charged with developing and implementing a CEMP and submitting a Section 61 application to LBH. The principal contractor will also be encouraged to register the Site under the Considerate Constructors Scheme. The CEMP will be developed in liaison with the Environmental Health Department of LBH. The CEMP will outline the following measures: Environmental management responsibilities and activities; Monitoring and auditing protocols; Complaints response procedures; and Community and stakeholder liaison processes. The CEMP will outline the different procedures to be undertaken in order to complete the various works. Individual trade contracts will incorporate requirements for environmental control, based on good working practice, such as careful programming, resource conservation, adhering to health and safety legislation and quality management procedures. The Section 61 application will be more specific with respect to noise and vibration during the demolition and construction phases. It will include predicted noise levels, best practice measures, site specific mitigation measures, a complaints procedure and dispensation requirements. The principal contractor and trade contractors will at all times apply the principle of Best Practicable Means as defined in Section 72 of the Control of Pollution Act, 1974. Best practice measures to mitigate the adverse effects of noise are likely to include the following: Unless otherwise agreed with LBH, site hours will be 08:00 to 18:00 hours Monday to Friday and 08:00 to 13:30 hours on Saturday. No work which is audible at the Site boundary will be undertaken outside the specified hours, except in cases of emergency where safety is an issue, or where Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 7 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures a prior agreement has been reached with LBH. The contractor will comply with the requirements of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (with particular reference to Part III), the Environmental Protect Act 1990, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. All plant and equipment to be used for the works will be properly maintained, silenced where appropriate, operated to prevent excessive noise and switched off when not in use, where practicable. Plant will be certified to meet relevant current EU legislation and should be no noisier than would be expected based on the noise levels contained in Annex C and Annex D of BS 5288-1: 2009 Noise and Vibration Control on Construction and Open Sites. All trade contractors will be made familiar with current noise legislation and the guidance contained in BS 5228 (Parts 1 and 2) which will form a prerequisite of their appointment. Unless agreed in advance all deliveries will be during the construction site hours and on a “just-in-time” basis to avoid/minimise vehicles waiting outside or on the Site with engines running. Loading and unloading of vehicles, dismantling of equipment such as scaffolding or moving equipment or materials around the Site will be conducted in such a manner as to minimise noise generation. Deviation from approved method statements will be permitted only with prior approval from the principal contractor and other relevant parties. This will be facilitated by formal review before any deviation is undertaken. A contact number which the public may use shall be displayed prominently on the Site board and any noise complaints will be reported to the principal contractor and immediately investigated. It is likely that the measures above, including methods of work and restrictions on working hours, will be agreed with LBH as part of the Section 61. These measures have been taken into account within the assessment of residual effects. Operation Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Operational road traffic The road traffic assessment determined that effects will be negligible along all road links. Therefore, no particular mitigation measures are considered necessary. 18 | 8 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Fixed building services plant Mitigation Measures An external free-field noise level of 40 dB LAeq,16h for the day and 35 dB LAeq,8h for the night is proposed which allows for character, in the form of a 5 dB penalty, of proposed fixed plant in order to meet the target internal noise levels. Ultimately, it will be necessary to design, select, locate and / or attenuate all building services plant on the Site so that the relevant performance standards, as agreed with LBH, are achieved at the closest existing and proposed residential properties. Effect of noise associated with Sainsbury’s foodstore The following best practice measures, as required by LBH should be implemented and included in the store’s management plan: All manoeuvring and unloading of HGVs inside the service yard should be done with the service yard gates closed. Lorries should not wait outside with engines and refrigeration units operating. If possible, the gates to the service yard should be solid and designed to minimise noise break-out. In addition, noise from opening and closing of the gates should be minimised. Make sure the delivery point is ready for the vehicle before it arrives – gates and doors should be open to avoid vehicles idling. Avoid using external bells or tannoy systems. Minimise excessive air brake noise. Use newer and quieter delivery vehicles and equipment, where possible. HGV doors should not be slammed and radios to be switched off. Rubber matting or an alternative solution to be agreed with LBH to be installed at appropriate locations to reduce the noise of roll cages (if cages will be wheeled across the service yard). To avoid multiple HGVs waiting to be unloaded, communication between the driver or depot with the Sainsbury’s store should be encouraged to provide an estimated time of arrival at the store itself. Drivers should not sound their horn (particularly during the night) and ensure that directional white noise reversing alarms are fitted wherever possible. The above measures have been taken into account within the assessment of residual effects. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 9 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Effect of noise of proposed residential dwellings - Site Suitability Mitigation Measures For the proposed units at 45 High Street the following indicative sound insulation performance specifications are recommended for the glazing to the living areas and bedrooms: Living rooms and bedrooms – 40dB Rw + Ctr Glazing In order that the above acoustic performance requirements may be achieved by the glazing systems, the following typical constructions are considered appropriate: Living rooms and bedrooms – 10mm glass /16mm airspace / 10.8mm acoustic laminate glass For proposed units on the rest of the site the following indicative sound insulation performance specifications are recommended for the glazing to the living and bedrooms: Living rooms and bedrooms – 26dB Rw +Ctr Glazing In order that the above acoustic performance requirements may be achieved by the glazing systems, the following typical constructions are considered appropriate: Living rooms and bedrooms – 6mm glass /12mm airspace / 6mm glass The ventilation strategy should include acoustic attenuation to ensure that the internal noise criteria are not exceeded due to the mechanical ventilation system. The acoustic design of the ventilation system would be addressed at the detailed design stage. Implementation of the above measures has been taken into account within the assessment of residual effects. Local Air Quality Construction Generation of Dust and PM10 during Site clearance and construction A number of mitigation methods, as detailed in the London Councils Best Practice Guidance, should be implemented as appropriate including: Vehicles carrying loose aggregate and workings should be sheeted at all times; Implementation of design controls for construction equipment and vehicles and use of appropriately designed vehicles for materials handling; Completed earthworks should be covered or vegetated as soon as is practicable; Regular inspection and, if necessary, cleaning of local highways and Site boundaries to check for dust deposits (and removal if necessary); Minimise surface areas of stockpiles (subject to health and safety and visual constraints regarding slope gradients and visual intrusion) to reduce area of Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 10 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures surfaces exposed to wind pick-up; Use of dust-suppressed tools for all operations; Ensuring that all construction plant and equipment is maintained in good working order and not left running when not in use; Restrict on-site movements to well within Site and not near the perimeter, if possible; and No unauthorised burning of any material anywhere on-site. The construction is proposed to take place in a phased approach, this approach will limit the size and area of any dust generating activities and increase the separation distances to the nearest sensitive receptors. Implementation of the above measures has been taken into account within the assessment of residual effects. Emissions to air of PM10 and NO2 from construction vehicles leaving or accessing the Site and site plant Mitigation measures to control construction traffic will be discussed with LBH to establish the most suitable access and haul routes for the site traffic to avoid sensitive roads (residential roads, congested roads, via unsuitable junctions, etc.) where possible and keeping vehicles clean (through the use of wheel washers, etc.) and sheeted when on public highways. Timing of large-scale vehicle movements to avoid peak hours on the local road network will also be beneficial. Liaison with Officers at LBH and local residents will be maintained throughout the construction process. Operation Water Resources and Flood Risk Construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Emissions from traffic & on-site energy centre generated by the Proposed Development The energy facilities for onsite energy generation will incorporate the use of low NOx emission for the combined heat and power unit and supplementary boilers. Contamination of surface water A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) will be implemented to manage and control site works, including management of wastewater and the storage of fuel and oils. The CEMP will detail the procedures and methods that are to be followed by the construction workforce in order to minimise the potential effects of construction on surface water features. The CEMP will be developed and agreed with LBH, the Environment Agency and other regulators/consultees, as required, prior to the A Travel Plan is submitted with the Detailed Planning Application. The Travel Plan focuses on sustainable modes of transport promoting public transport, walking and cycling, which all form key components of the Travel Plan. Additional measures include the provision of electric vehicle charging points and car clubs. 18 | 11 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures commencement of the construction activities. Contractors working on the Site will be required to comply with the CEMP. All construction activities should be undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency’s Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG) including: PPG 1: General Guide to the Prevention of Pollution; PPG 5: Works and maintenance in or near Water; PPG 6: Working at Construction and Demolition Sites; and PPG 8: Safe Storage and Disposal of Oils. will only be active when required. Other activities associated with the use of construction vehicles (such as wash-down facilities) will be appropriately managed to contain contaminants and regulate the release of clean water into the natural environment. In addition, designated haulage routes around the Site will be identified to minimise the impacts on soil stability and the subsequent effects of sedimentation on surface water within the vicinity of the Site. Construction vehicles will be regularly maintained to reduce the risk of hydrocarbon contamination and It is recommended that surface runoff from the various construction areas within the Site is managed by the appropriate use of temporary bunding and sediment traps to ensure the protection of water quality in the receiving water environment from sediment load and contaminants. Settlement ponds are beneficial in that they allow for isolation and on-site treatment of sediment laden or chemically contaminated surface runoff prior to discharge of following agreement with the appropriate authority or use of other appropriate means of disposal. To mitigate potential impacts associated with the dewatering of excavations consideration should be given CIRIA 515: Groundwater Control – Design and Practice. The water pumped or abstracted during a groundwater control operation (i.e. dewatering of excavations) is legally classified as ‘trade effluent’ and as such a discharge consent will be required from either the Environment Agency or Thames Water depending on whether the water is to be discharged to Moselle Brook or the Public Foul Sewer respectively. Prior to commencement of any culvert diversion works a detailed methodology will be developed by the construction contractor for diversion of the existing Moselle brook culvert. The methodology will be developed using current best practice and will adhere to the guidance outlined within EA Pollution Prevention Guidance note 5: ‘Works and Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 12 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures maintenance in, near water’. Approval from the Environment Agency will be obtained prior to commencement of any diversion works. The assessment of residual effects has taken into consideration the use of the above mitigation measures. Operation Effects on Moselle Brook No mitigation measures are considered necessary given that the existing culvert will be diverted to ensure that no building structures are constructed over the culvert. However, as detailed above prior to commencement of any culvert diversion works a detailed methodology will be developed using current best practice Environment Agency guidance. Potential Contamination of Surface Waters Any surface water discharges from public car parking areas will incorporate appropriate pollution control measures such as petrol/water interceptors or appropriate SUDS to minimise the risk of polluted surface water runoff entering the culverted Moselle Brook. Consideration for the appropriate storage of potentially hazardous substances / materials within the proposed development will be given during the operational phases. Depending on the nature of materials / substances to be stored on site, appropriate mitigation measures may include but not be limited to the following: Storage of hazardous materials on impermeable hardstanding within bunded and secure containers; and Use of oil interceptors. The assessment of residual effects has taken into consideration the use of the above mitigation measures. Alteration of the Drainage Regime and Flood Risk On the basis that the drainage strategy for the site includes below ground attenuation tanks and SuDS features in the form of brown roofs that will result in a reduction in the peak discharge rate of 50% no mitigation measures are required. Increased Water Usage and Demand Measures to promote the re-use and / or recycling of water to reduce overall water demand will be considered for integration into the Proposed Development. Residential units within the Proposed Development will meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 which equates to water consumption rates of 105 litres per person per day. Non-residential elements of the Proposed Development will meet BREEAM ‘Very Good’. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 13 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Water efficiency measures will be installed, consistent with the associated Code for Sustainable Homes Level and BREEAM rating, best practice and applicable Building Regulations, and could include measures such as water efficient sanitary fixings and appliances and grey water recycling systems. Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Construction Operation Ecology Construction Increased Pressure on Foul Sewerage Infrastructure Wastewater production is closely linked to water consumption and is likely to be very similar in terms of volume. Therefore the mitigation measures proposed to reduce water demand will also be effective in reducing the pressure on foul sewerage infrastructure as a result of the Proposed Development. For residential dwellings Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 will be met (achieving potable water consumption to 105 litres per day) and for Commercial buildings BREEAM ‘Very Good’ will be met. Neighbouring Daylight & Sunlight N/A Internal Daylight Adequacy N/A Overshadowing N/A Neighbouring Daylight & Sunlight None proposed Internal Daylight Adequacy None proposed Overshadowing None proposed Effect on non-statutory designated sites within 400m as a result of dust generation Dust will be minimised through standard damping down processes throughout the construction period, as set out within Chapter 8 Local Air Quality. This will include a variety of techniques as appropriate, for example: use of dust supressed tools for all operations; during dry or windy weather, material stockpiles and exposed surfaces will be dampened down using a water spray to minimise the potential for wind pick-up; vehicles carrying loose aggregate and workings will be sheeted at all times; implementation of design controls for construction equipment and vehicles and the use of appropriately designed vehicles for materials handling; completed earthworks will be covered or vegetated as soon as is practicable; Monitoring of dust deposition will also occur throughout the construction period, with works halted and methods revisited should concerns arise. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 14 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Effect of noise upon nonstatutory designated sites within 400m No specific noise control mitigation required in relation to non-statutory sites, however noise control measures will be implemented during construction; as detailed within Chapter 9 Noise and Vibration. Effect upon Black Redstart Building demolition is anticipated to be completed in winter 2013-14, thereby avoiding the main bird nesting season and minimising the risk of contravention of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) through damage or destruction of an active bird’s nest. In the event that demolition of small areas of the Site extends into March 2014, any remaining buildings on Site will be surveyed by a suitably qualified ecologist within 24hrs prior to demolition to confirm presence or absence of active bird nests. This will include survey of bird behaviour on the Site and internal inspection of buildings (where safe access is possible). In the unlikely event that an active bird nest is identified at this stage this will be left in situ with a suitable buffer until the chicks have fledged. If breeding behaviour by black redstart is recorded during these surveys it will be ensured the exclusion buffer implemented (in which no demolition or construction works occur) is sufficient to prevent disturbance of birds whilst they are at the nest or have dependent young. Extensive (those requiring limited inputs and management and designed to replicate natural brownfield habitat) brown roofs covering 0.09 ha will be created on roofs between five to seven storeys in height on blocks within ‘The Quadrangle’ in the north west corner of the Proposed Development. Brown roof will be created on three five storey roofs, and one seven storey roof; providing a variety of habitat parcels with different aspects and exposure in relation to the building structure. These roofs will replace the approximately 0.07 ha of existing ephemeral vegetation on the Site, and other small areas of foraging habitat too small to map. The brown roofs will comprise a suitable low nutrient substrate to support a variety of ruderal plants at a low-density coverage, which is designed to re-create brownfield habitats favoured by black redstart. This 0.09 ha of brown roof will be solely designed for biodiversity during the operational phase, with no public access permitted. The design of the brown roof will: Be based on the aggregate mix present at the original site (this would be a mixture of crushed brick and concrete graded from 25mm to dust); Be contoured from heights of 5cm to 15cm; and Be allowed to become colonised by vegetation and invertebrate species naturally (i.e. not be seeded or covered with sedum matting). Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 15 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures In addition to provision of brown roofs four nest boxes will also be installed to increase the availability of nesting sites. These will be boxes designed specifically for black redstart, such as the open fronted woodcrete box (2HW) or nesting brick type (No24) produced by Schwegler. Nest boxes will be located in proximity to the brown roofs installed on ‘The Quadrangle’. In addition to this nest site provision, the building’s stepped design will also naturally provide a variety of ledges and open song posts 20m or greater above the ground level and with no public access. Effect upon other breeding birds Building demolition is anticipated to be completed in winter 2013-14, thereby avoiding the main bird nesting season and minimising the risk of contravention of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) through damage or destruction of an active bird’s nest. In the event demolition of small areas of the Site extends into March 2014, within the nesting season, remaining buildings on Site will be surveyed by a suitably qualified ecologist within 24hrs prior to demolition to confirm presence or absence of active bird nests. This will include survey of bird behaviour on the Site and internal inspection of buildings (where safe access is possible). Should a bird nest be identified this will be left in situ with a suitable buffer until the chicks have fledged or the nest is considered no longer active. In addition, ground level landscaping will include areas of lawn, trees and hedgerows; replacing foraging resource currently available on the Site perimeter and ten bird boxes (in addition to nest site provision specifically for black redstart) will be incorporated within the Proposed Development; these will include models suitable for swift Apus apus, house sparrow Passer domesticus and starling Sturnus vulgaris. These will be situated in appropriate locations within the built development to maximise probability of use, for example: Avoiding positioning of bird boxes on south facing walls exposed to strong sunlight; Ensuring swift boxes are at least two storeys or greater above the ground; and Positioning house sparrow boxes in proximity to ground level landscaped areas. Operation Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Effect of disturbance of Japanese knotweed A Japanese knotweed control and removal programme will be instigated by an appropriately qualified contractor, prior to commencement of ground works. Effect upon non-statutory designated sites within 400m as a result of increased recreation. No mitigation is proposed. 18 | 16 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Socio Economics Construction Direct on-site employment No mitigation is required. There may be scope for additional measures to optimise local recruitment during the site preparation, earthworks and construction phase but this is uncertain at the time of writing; possible measures include linkages to local training initiatives and/or voluntary agreements relating to local recruitment. Indirect and induced employment No mitigation is required. There may be scope for additional measures to optimise benefits to the local economy during the construction phase but this is uncertain at the time of writing, possible measures include linkages to local suppliers and/or voluntary agreements relating to local purchasing. Direct on site employment As the effect is positive no mitigation is required. There may however be scope for additional measures to optimise benefits to the local economy, such as measures to encourage local recruitment and linkages to training programmes for other employment elements in the Proposed Development, although it is recognised that these are relatively small in scale. Indirect and induced employment The effect is negligible and no mitigation is required. There may however be scope for additional measures to optimise benefits to the local economy, such as measures to encourage local recruitment and linkages to training programmes. Increase in housing stock The effect is positive and no mitigation is required. Effect on primary and secondary schools The principle of developments contributing to the expansion of existing facilities has already been identified and this is clearly LBH’s preferred option. At this stage it is uncertain if the Proposed Development will be required to make a contribution towards education facilities. No additional mitigation is appropriate as effects are likely to be negligible and residual effects have been assessed assuming no mitigation is provided. Effect on GPs and Dentists The principle of expanding facilities within the Heartlands Intensification Area has already been identified and this is clearly LBH’s preferred option. At this stage it is uncertain if the Proposed Development will be required to make a contribution towards education facilities. No additional mitigation is appropriate as effects are likely to be negligible and residual effects have been assessed assuming no mitigation is provided. Operation Spending from the new community in the local economy Transportation and Access Construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Effect of Vehicle Trips on the Local Road Network Mitigation Measures The effect is positive and no mitigation is required. A series of mitigation measures, outlined below, are proposed to minimise any disruption whilst the Proposed Development is under construction. The Applicant would also sign up to the Considerate Constructor’s Scheme, which seeks to reduce any negative effect of construction. The scheme’s code requires construction work to 18 | 17 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures consider the environment, the Site workforce and the general public. Typical site management measures will be introduced as follows; Access to the Site will be controlled within the Site boundary, with all vehicles being checked by banksmen to avoid conflicts between construction vehicles and other road users; Hoarding will be provided around the site with signage providing advance warning of the presence of heavy vehicles manoeuvring; Measures will be considered to encourage car sharing and the use of public transport by construction personnel; Ensure that all site workers know that there is no on-street parking in the surrounding area as it is all covered within a CPZ; Effective wheel / body washing facilities will be provided and used as necessary on construction vehicles before they leave the Site; Management/ pre-booking of deliveries to the Site to ensure minimal impact on public highway; Brushing and water spraying of heavily-used site hard surfaces and access points as required; Vehicles transporting materials, capable of generating dust, to and from the Site will be suitably sheeted on each journey to prevent the release of materials and particulate matter; Road sweepers to address any dirt being carried onto public roads; and Local residents will be consulted and kept informed as to the construction and traffic management proposal. The contractor will also be required to produce and agree a CEMP to describe how the construction works (and the associated traffic movements) will be managed to avoid, minimise and mitigate any construction effects on the environment, existing surrounding communities and residents. The treatment and disposal of all waste or other materials removed from the Site will be in accordance with the requirements of the Environment Agency under the Environment Protection Act 1990 (Ref. 6.13), Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (as amended), Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 18 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Regulations 2010 (as amended) and Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011. In general and in accordance with the principles of the UK Government’s ‘Waste Strategy for England 2007’ a principal aim during demolition and construction will be to reduce the amount of waste generated and exported from the Site. This approach complies with the waste hierarchy whereby the intention is first to minimise, then to re-use, recycle or recover waste and, finally, to dispose of waste off-site as a last resort. Operation Effect on Pedestrian Access Any footpath and road closures will be agreed with LBHF and TfL, and diversions will be provided to allow continuation of pedestrian accessibility to the surrounding area. Pedestrians / Cyclists No mitigation is considered necessary, however, the Proposed Development allows for pedestrian permeability throughout the Site and will improve the pedestrian and cycle environment No mitigation is considered necessary, however, in order to encourage cycling as a mode of transport, the Proposed Development will provide secure cycle parking and cycle facilities for all uses within the Site, in accordance with TfL cycle parking standards. Bus Journeys No mitigation is considered necessary Rail Journeys No mitigation is considered necessary Traffic Generation – Operational Phase It is proposed to implement a revised junction layout at the junction of the A504 High Street with the site access which will fully accommodate forecast traffic levels expected on the High Street and accessing the proposed food store. More generally, the net additional vehicular traffic generated by the Proposed Development will be mitigated through the implementation of Residential and Commercial Travel Plans. Townscape and Visual Impact Construction Effect of Change on Local Townscape Receptors Effects will be temporary in nature but the following mitigation will help to slightly reduce adverse effects of the construction phase on identified townscape receptors: Tidy site management will reduce the uncharacteristic clutter associated with building works; Consideration of artwork on any hoardings or scaffolding covers should be given, such as the use of building wraps, to minimise adverse impacts of the construction works on the local townscape character. Where artwork is not used, hoardings should be of a uniform colour and style throughout the works; Use of building wraps should be considered for the High Street frontage; and Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 19 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures Construction works lighting to involve the use of well located, modern light fittings as part of a CEMP and in accordance with current best practice standards to minimise lighting intrusion to surrounding sensitive receptors. Lighting and boundary treatments on the northern and north-western boundaries are particularly sensitive due to the proximity of local residents. The assessment of residual effects has taken into consideration the use of the above mitigation measures. Effect of Changes to Visual Amenity In short range views, a number of mitigation measures can be implemented to reduce the visual effects of the construction compound, including the following: Tidy Site management will reduce the visual clutter associated with building works; Consideration of artwork on any hoardings or scaffolding covers should be given, such as the use of building wraps, to minimise visual intrusion of the construction works on local views. A building wrap along the frontage with the High street would be particularly useful to minimise the visual intrusion into and within the Conservation Area Where artwork is not used, hoardings should be of a uniform colour and style throughout the works; and Construction works lighting to involve the use of well located, modern light fittings as part of a CEMP and in accordance with current best practice standards to minimise lighting intrusion to surrounding sensitive receptors. Lighting and boundary treatments on the northern and north-western boundaries are particularly sensitive due to the proximity of local residents. The assessment of residual effects has taken into consideration the use of the above mitigation measures. Operation Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Effects on Local Townscape Receptors Mitigation Measures have been built into the design, including new areas of public realm, use of street trees and small raised planters, use of red and buff brick and brick façade detailing including light brick trim to 45 High Street, block orientation, scale and massing (as outlined in the Design Development Section of the Design and Access Statement accompanying this planning application). However, the following mitigation measures have been identified as being of potential benefit in reducing adverse effects 18 | 20 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Mitigation Measures on the local townscape character and visual amenity in a few instances: use of non-reflective materials on upper storeys; use of high quality materials in the public realm; use of appropriate lighting, signage, street furniture and planters; Ensure street trees are planted in pits with appropriate soil and root protection systems and suitable topsoil and volume, such as use of Greenleaf StrataCells and RootRain aeration / irrigation systems (or similar approved); Ensure continued growth and health of existing and newly planted trees through appropriate monitoring and management; and Replacement of any trees that die within 5 years with trees of suitable species and size. The assessment of residual effects has taken into consideration the use of the above mitigation measures, where necessary as detailed in Chapter 15 Townscape & Visual Effects. Telecommunications Construction TV and Radio reception It is not generally possible to mitigate the effects of cranes on, analogue radio and satellite reception during working hours. However, effects are fairly minimal and would not cause any lasting detrimental effects. Operation Broadcast TV It is not possible to ‘design out’ the effects to broadcast (digital) TV. Most of the mitigation measures can be adopted by the end users, and could include one of, or a combination of, the following: Realigning end-user reception aerials to an alternative transmitter; Realigning end-user aerials to ensure maximum reception strength; Upgrading equipment (TV reception aerials, cables and / or signal boosters / amplifiers); Relocating end-user aerials on building façades or rooftops to maintain a direct line of sight; and Switching to free to view satellite or subscription cable or ADSL services. Broadcast Radio Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Signal reflections from radio broadcasts can cause distortion of ‘s’ and ‘z’ sounds. However, radio reception quality is usually improved by re-orientating the radio aerial. 18 | 21 Chapter Stage of Development Likely Significant Effect Satellite TV and radio Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Mitigation Measures It is not possible to ‘design out’ the effects to broadcast Satellite TV or Radio. Most of the mitigation measures can be adopted by the end users, and could include one of, or a combination of realigning and / or relocating end-user satellite dishes on building façades or rooftops to maintain a direct line of sight. 18 | 22 18.2 Summary of residual effects 18.2.1 The likely significant residual environmental effects of the Proposed Development have been assessed. These are the potential effects following the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures which are outlined above and in the preceding technical Chapters of this Environmental Statement (ES) (Chapters 6 - 16). 18.2.2 Each technical ES Chapter presents a detailed consideration of likely residual effects. Table 18.1 provides a summary of the residual effects of the construction and operational effects of the Proposed Development which are identified in each of the technical ES Chapters. As outlined in Chapter 8 ‘Local Air Quality’ and Chapter 12 ‘Ecology‘ the significance of effects in these assessments uses an alternative method of attributing effects and therefore a different terminology is used. 18.2.3 In reality however, it is the operational residual effects which are of greater relevance as they are generally permanent in nature whereas construction effects are often less significant due to their temporary nature. A summary of operational residual effects are outlined below: Ground Conditions and Contamination 18.2.4 Providing the mitigation measures identified above in Table 18.1 are implemented there will be no significant long-term residual effects during operation on ground conditions, surface water and groundwater. Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 18.2.5 No mitigation measures are proposed at the operational stage as design measures have been incorporated in to the Proposed Development, As such, the residual effect during operation is considered to be of minor positive significance. Although the character of the High Street in its current state will significantly change, the re-development of the Site and in part the High Street will ultimately enhance views from the identified assets from the current view of a partly derelict site to the new development. Noise and Vibration 18.2.6 The operational effect of the Proposed Development has been assessed and with respect to noise arising from development related traffic, the anticipated changes in traffic noise are such that residual effects of negligible significance would arise. On this basis, no particular mitigation measures are considered necessary. 18.2.7 It is likely that the Proposed Development will include external fixed plant items, and as such noise emission limits have been derived based on the existing background noise level and the requirements of the local authority. Providing that all plant is designed cumulatively to achieve the specified performance standards as outlined above and detailed in Chapter 8 Noise and Vibration, then at worst negligible residual effects would arise. 18.2.8 Deliveries may occur over 24 hours, however, given the mitigation measures that will form part of the store’s management plan, the residual effects noise arising from deliveries, particularly those during the night-time, are anticipated to be minimal. 18.2.9 An assessment of the suitability of the Site for residential use has also been undertaken, and consideration has been given to the degree of mitigation that will be required to ensure appropriate internal target values will be met. With the incorporation of appropriate measures it has been shown that an adequate level of protection against noise will be achieved for future occupants of the proposed dwellings. Consequently, the Site is considered to be appropriate for residential use. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 23 Local Air Quality 18.2.10 The Proposed Development is predicted to give rise to small to imperceptible increases in nitrogen dioxide concentrations and fine particulates. On completion the Proposed Development is considered to have negligible residual effects on local air quality. Water Resources and Flood Risk 18.2.11 Adoption of the mitigation measures outlined in Table 18.1 above would results an overall permanent, direct, long term residual effect of negligible / minor negative to moderate positive significance is anticipated during operation of the Proposed Development. Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing 18.2.12 The main effects relating to daylight, sunlight and overshadowing relate to the availability of daylight and sunlight to surrounding properties and the proposed new dwellings. As outlined in Table 18.1 above, no mitigation measures are proposed and the residual effects are assessed as being of negligible to minor negative significance. Ecology 18.2.13 The Proposed Development been assessed as delivering residual effects with probable confidence of long term negligible significance assuming those construction phase mitigation measures (i.e. construction of brown roofs, installing bird boxes) identified in Table 18.1 above are adopted. Socio Economics 18.2.14 The Proposed Development will include opportunities for employment, helping to meet local employment needs and provide the opportunity for people to live and work locally if they choose to do so. Sainsbury’s have established programmes that will be used to encourage local recruitment and retention. There is likely to be a direct, permanent, long term residual effect at the Borough level of minor to moderate positive significance and a moderate positive effect at the Ward level. 18.2.15 Additional employment will arise from spend in the local economy by companies on site and those who work in the area. New residents moving into the area will also bring benefits through spend in the local economy, including Hornsey High Street. There is likely to be a direct, permanent, long term residual effect at the Borough level of negligible to minor positive significance. 18.2.16 The scheme includes a significant proportion of social housing (42% based on habitable rooms) but this is against a backdrop of significant need, therefore the magnitude of change is low. There is likely to be a direct, permanent, long term residual effect at the Borough level of minor to moderate positive significance. 18.2.17 The need to expand existing education and health facilities to accommodate planned growth has been identified by the Borough and other stakeholders and a negligible residual effect on these is anticipated. In the event that planned expansion does not take place before the Proposed Development is complete, it is considered that there would be temporary short term effect at the local level of minor to moderate negative significance on schools and negligible to minor negative significance on health provision. Transportation and Access 18.2.18 The residual effects resulting from the operation of the Proposed Development on pedestrian, cycle and public transport networks are identified as being of permanent negligible significance. However, secure and covered cycle parking will be provided on-site within the Proposed Development in accordance with LBH and TfL cycle parking standards in order to encourage increased cycling levels to and from the Site. Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 24 Townscape and Visual Impact 18.2.19 The design of the Proposed Development has carefully considered the townscape setting and context and has been designed to reflect surrounding built form and character. Its stepped profile largely enables the built form to directly connect in terms of scale and character to adjacent streets. It also includes the use of street trees and vegetation to enhance the street scene for pedestrians. 18.2.20 The frontage to the High Street reflects the materials and character of the adjacent building on the High Street, helping to enhance and improve the legibility of the street frontage at this point. 18.2.21 The overall Proposed Development which includes mitigation measures outlined in Table 18.1 is considered to have an indirect, permanent, and long-term residual effect on townscape receptors generally of negligible to moderate positive significance but ranging from moderate positive to minor negative significance (worst-case scenario). 18.2.22 The overall Proposed Development which includes mitigation measures outlined in Table 18.1 is considered to have an direct, permanent and long-term residual effect on visual amenity ranging from moderate positive to minor - moderate negative (worst case scenario) significance. Telecommunications 18.2.23 The assessment identified that the completed Proposed Development will result in negligible residual effects to the reception of broadcast of television (digital) and radio signals. Potential residual effects on Satellite TV and Radio were assessed as being of minor negative significance Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 25 Table 18.2: Summary of Residual Effects Chapter Ground Conditions and Contamination Stage of Development Description of Residual Effect Construction Operation Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Construction Major, Moderate, Minor, Negligible Positive / Negative Permanent / Temporary Direct / Indirect Short / Medium / Long Term Effect of Exposure to Contamination associated with historic land use on human health Negligible Negative T D ST Effect of Exposure to Contamination on Third Party Occupants and Properties Negligible Negative T D ST Effect on Groundwater from existing sources of contamination Negligible Negative T D ST Effect of Contamination on Potable Water Supply Negligible Negative T D ST Effect of Contamination on Future Site Occupants and Properties Negligible Negative T D ST Effect of Contamination on Third Party Properties and Occupants Negligible Negative T D ST Effects on Surface and Groundwater Negligible Negative T D ST Truncation or loss of buried/surface archaeological remains Minor Negative P D LT The great Northern Railway Tavern 69 High Street Negligible Negligible Negative Negative T T I I ST ST 71 High Street Negligible Negative T I ST Minor Negative T I ST Monument to Samuel Rogers and Family Negligible Negative T I ST Cattle Trough, drinking fountain and cast Iron Lamp Negligible Negative T I ST Hornsey High Street Conservation Area Minor Negative T I ST Hornsey Water Works and Filter Beds Minor Negative T I ST Tower of Old Parish Church of St Mary Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Significance of Residual Effects 18 | 26 Chapter Stage of Development Description of Residual Effect Significance of Residual Effects Major, Moderate, Minor, Negligible Positive / Negative Permanent / Temporary Direct / Indirect Short / Medium / Long Term Hornsey High Street Public Baths and Wash House The great Northern Railway Tavern Minor Negative P D LT Minor Positive P I LT 69 High Street Minor Positive P I LT 71 High Street Minor Positive P I LT Moderate Positive P I LT Monument to Samuel Rogers and Family Minor Positive P I LT Cattle Trough, drinking fountain and cast Iron Lamp Minor Positive P I LT Hornsey High Street Conservation Area Moderate Positive P I LT Hornsey Water Works and Filter Beds Conservation Area Moderate Positive P I LT Construction Noise Minor/ Moderate Negative T D ST Construction Vibration Minor/ Moderate Negative T D ST Operational road traffic Negligible N/A P D LT Fixed building services plant Negligible N/A P D LT Minor Negative P D LT Generation of Dust and PM10 during Site clearance and construction Minor to Negligible Negative T D ST-MT Emissions to air of PM10 and NO2 from construction vehicles leaving or accessing the Site and site plant Negligible Negative T D ST-MT Conservation Area Operation Tower of Old Parish Church of St Mary Noise and Vibration Construction Operation Sainsbury’s food store Local Air Quality Construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 18 | 27 Chapter Water Resources and Flood Risk Stage of Development Description of Residual Effect Operation Emissions from traffic & on-site energy centre generated by the Proposed Development Construction Contamination of surface water Operation Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Construction Operation Ecology Construction Hornsey High Street Environmental Statement 00037791 Significance of Residual Effects Major, Moderate, Minor, Negligible Positive / Negative Permanent / Temporary Direct / Indirect Short / Medium / Long Term NO2 – Negligible PM10 Negligible Negative P D LT Negligible to Minor Negative T D ST Effects on Moselle Brook Negligible -
