INTRODUCTION Purpose and structure of the report The Site Selection Methodology (May 2009) paper (paragraphs 2.3.29 - 2.3.34) outlines the process to be used to create the preferred list of shaft sites, and this process also applies to CSO sites. Paragraph 2.3.31 lists the type of general considerations that will be addressed in each site suitability report, but they depend on the relevance to the site and professional judgement made in the assessments. This report was prepared through the assessment of information from the perspective of a number of technical disciplines: Engineering, Planning, Environment, Property and Community. The reports have been prepared on the basis of the information listed in Appendix 1 - Sources of Information, and this level of information is considered to be appropriate to the current stage. The Background Technical Paper provides information on the requirements for different site types, their sizes and typical activities/facilities within the sites. Each site suitability report considers a particular site on its own merits. In addition, an engineering options report was produced. Information from both of these reports will feed into the technical assessment of how well the site may fit in with tunnel design options, ensuring combinations of sites spread across the length of the tunnel route provide a reasonable spatial distribution of sites (that will best assist with the construction of the tunnel, operation and maintenance). This is considered in the Preferred Scheme Report. Background The process for selecting sites is set out in the Site Selection Methodology (May 2009) paper. All sites have previously passed through the following parts of Stage 1: Part 1A - Creation of the long list of potential shaft (and CSO) sites Part 1B - Creation of a short list of potential shaft (and CSO) sites o o o Table 2.2: Long list of shaft (and CSO) sites - an assessment against set considerations and values Table 2.3: Draft short list of shaft (and CSO) sites - assessment against a list of detailed considerations Workshops to consider each site to arrive at a short list of sites.

The final part of Stage 1 includes this report. The following is an overall summary of all elements that apply to all the sites on the final short list: Part 1C - Creation of the Preferred List of shaft (and CSO) sites - site data, site visits, site suitability reports, engineering options report and optioneering workshops that will result in the Preferred Scheme Report.
1.3 1.3.1
Consultation The Thames Water project team held meetings with London local authorities, statutory and other stakeholders to review the provisional short list of shaft and CSO sites. All general and site specific comments can be found in a separate report titled Consultation on the Short List of Sites: Consultation Feedback Report. These comments were considered to help determine the final short list of sites, but they were also considered at the optioneering workshops. Further meetings were held with London local authorities, statutory and other stakeholders between January and March 2010. Comments are included in this report.

SITE INFORMATION Site and surroundings This 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 S70HF is known as Carnwath Industrial Centre, located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Existing access to the site is taken from Carnwath Road. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. The site is an established industrial estate, with a number of light industrial businesses in current operation arranged around a parking and service courtyard, including Vaughan Ltd, Fulham Kitchens, Phase Eight, Topps Tiles, Reed Harris Tiles, Howden Joinery Co Ltd and Hurlingham Coachworks Ltd. The surrounding area is characterised by a mix of industrial uses and residential properties. The site is bounded to the north by Carnwath Road, a single carriageway which separates the site from four-storey residential flats, further to the north at Philpot Square. The site is bounded to the east by an access road, parking area and side facade of a three-storey block of flats. Further to the east is a service yard and two large retail buildings (which are currently occupied by Currys and PC World), and some two-storey residential properties fronting the River Thames. The site is bounded to the south by the Thames Path and River Thames and to the west by the Thames Path, which links to Carnwath Road, and beyond which lies derelict and currently vacant land known as Hurlingham Wharf. The boundary of the shaft working area is proposed within 9m of the side facade of residential flats, located along the eastern boundary and set approximately 31m from the front facades of flats within Block 3, numbers 26 to 14 and numbers 62 to 69 Philpot Square. The site is covered by various planning and environment designations in the Hammersmith and Fulham Unitary Development Plan. 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. Road access to the site is from Carnwath Road. There is no rail network local to the site. Wandsworth Town rail station and Parsons Green tube station are less than 1.5km away from the site. Clapham Junction is about 1.5km away. There are no existing wharfage/jetty facilities at the site. A transport plan for the site is attached as Appendix 5. Third-party assets and significant utilities are listed below and are shown on the services and geology plan in Appendix 6: Wandsworth Bridge at the outside eastern edge of the site One well, without abstraction license, potentially within the site River wall.

2.1.10 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. 2.1.11 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 London Clay. 2.1.12 It is understood that the National Grid is planning to build a cable tunnel which would run through the centre of the site. If this site is selected, there would be dialogue with National Grid to consider matters if applicable, such as timing, engineering constraints, cumulative effects of the projects, potential for site sharing, etc.

Type of site The site S70HF is being considered as an intermediate shaft site. PROPOSED USE OF SITE CONSTRUCTION PHASE The proposed construction phase layouts for the shaft sites 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 an intermediate shaft site potential access points.
3.1.3
These drawings provide initial preliminary schematic layouts that have not been optimised. If the site proceeds to the next stage as a preferred site, construction phase layouts would be optimised to minimise impacts. Drawings of typical activities associated with the shaft construction phase are provided in Appendix 7. Potential above ground construction features (dependent on shaft type) 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 gantry crane, approximately 8m high.

PROPOSED USE OF SITE OPERATIONAL PHASE Operational requirements The indicative operational phase layouts for the shaft sites are located in Appendix 8 Operational Phase Layout, and are 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 shaft sites. The underground infrastructure at this site is likely to be made up of a shaft, double flap a valve chamber and a 10m wide overflow culvert .
4.1.3
It was anticipated that an overflow culvert would be required at shaft sites when the assessment in this report was undertaken. Although this was subsequently changed with overflow culverts no longer required at

4.1.4
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.
c
4.1.5
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. Hardstanding would be provided to the top structures. The site would 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

Access to the site would be from Carnwath Road, a traffic calmed road, approximately 8m wide. The existing road access would serve both the construction and operational phases.
all sites, 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 ventilation column at shafts 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. c It was anticipated that the elevation of top structures at both CSO and shaft sites would be finished at 107mTD when the assessment in this report was undertaken. Although this was subsequently changed to 104.5mTD, the assessment was not revised as it was considered that the difference would not change any disciplines conclusion on the suitability of the site.

Rail 5.1.4 The nearest rail facility would be Wandsworth Town rail station, which would be approximately 1.5km from the site. Parsons Green tube station and Clapham Junction overground station would also be about 1.5km away. River 5.1.5 Material movement for an intermediate shaft site would likely be by road. However, as the site is adjacent to the foreshore, there may be feasible opportunities to use barge transport. Construction works considerations The demolition of industrial warehouses would be necessary for the construction phase. There would be one well potentially within the site but without an abstraction licence. Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the main items of concern in this area are the proposed National Grid cable tunnel that runs through the western side of the site, the industrial units to the east of the site and the river wall. Construction methods would be adopted, as appropriate, to mitigate potential settlement of these assets. The shaft location would be close to the river and therefore, the deviation of the tunnel alignment from the centre of the river would be minimised. It is likely that the proposed works can be constructed within the overall construction programme. Permanent works considerations The top structure would be raised to approximately 2m above ground level. Health and safety There are no unusual health and safety issues with this site. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Introduction The planning assessment builds on the advantages and disadvantages reported in Table 2.3 and covers the following areas: Planning applications and permissions Planning context Planning comments. 6.2 6.2.1 Planning applications and permissions An initial desktop search of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham online planning applications database did not identify any planning applications submitted within the last five years applicable to the site. The last application, approved for the site in 2005, was for use of buildings as a storage warehouse and distribution depot, which appears consistent with the existing onsite usage. Planning context The current planning policy context for the site is provided from the saved September 2007 policies from the Hammersmith and Fulham Unitary Development Plan, adopted August 2003, and the Consolidated London Plan, adopted February 2008.

Several planning designations and policies from these development plans are applicable to the site and are detailed below. Policy EN31X, Thames Policy Area, covers the majority of the site and requires all built development to be of a high-quality design that respects the riverside location and contributes to its surrounding environment. Policy EN2, Conservation Areas the site is located within the Sands End Conservation Area. Policy EN2 requires all development to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, paying particular attention to the historical context, quality of design, scale, bulk, massing and materials. Policy EN31, Important Views Along, Across, and From the River the site is located within an important view of, and from, Wandsworth Bridge. The above policy seeks to protect identified views from development if it would cause demonstrable harm to the view and/or views of local landmarks or their settings. The policy states that the view from Wandsworth Bridge includes the view up and downstream of the river, its foreshore and banks, and of commercial wharves and riverside buildings. Policy EN27, Nature Conservation Areas the site is adjacent to the River Thames, which is designated along its entire stretch. This policy protects nature conservation sites from development that does not contribute to the physical, social and economic regeneration objectives of the UDP, or that may result in harm to wildlife value. The site is adjacent to Hurlingham Wharf. The wharf is safeguarded for freight and cargo-handling related uses and protected by the following policies: Policy TN31, Freight and Servicing Use of Water, supports proposals for the provision of wharves or piers to facilitate river-based transport, and protects sites identified for wharf related uses against development that could preclude their future use for the transhipment of freight, including waste and aggregates, and for related activities. Policy 4C.9 of the London Plan states that the mayor will, and boroughs should, protect safeguarded wharves for cargo-handling uses. The policy also states that the mayor will, and the boroughs should, encourage appropriate temporary uses of vacant safeguarded wharves and where they do not preclude a wharf being reused for cargo handling uses. Development next to or opposite safeguarded wharves should be designed to minimise potential conflicts of use or disturbance. Redevelopment will only be acceptable where safeguarded wharves are no longer viable or capable of being used for cargo-handling, in accordance with criteria set out in the plan.

6.3.10 Policy EN21, Environmental Nuisance the site is in proximity to existing residential properties, and this policy seeks to ensure that no undue detriment occurs to general amenities. 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 Hammersmith and Fulham 6.4.2 The council stated that the site is opposite the Piper Building. English Heritage 6.4.3 English Heritage advised that there are archaeological issues associated with the site. However, it is noted that the site has been heavily industrialised and so it is less likely for an archaeological issue to arise that would pose as a barrier to development. A desk-based assessment, including a modern disturbance plan, would be the next step if the site is taken forward.
Page 6
Environment Agency 6.4.4 The Environment Agency advised that there may be an opportunity for connection with the small aggregate loading facility on the other side. There are existing boat movements in this area and use of the site will increase activity in this area. Port of London Authority 6.4.5 The Port of London Authority advised that, despite being slightly shallow, it should be possible to move 1,000 tonne barges in the area as the site is located a sufficient distance down the river. Hurlingham Wharf is safeguarded (although Whiffin Wharf is not). The PLA advised that they would like to see the wharves brought back into operation. Transport for London 6.4.6 The network assurance team would seek confirmation of construction traffic, construction traffic routes and possible traffic management requirements. The site is located near to the strategic road network Wandsworth Bridge Road and the TLRN. Works would need to be co-ordinated as early as possible with other planned works/events on the network in the area and the neighbouring London Borough of Wandsworth. Residential properties are in close proximity to the site and noise considerations may lead to working hour restrictions by the local authority. Other statutory consultees 6.4.7 6.5 6.5.1 No comment. Planning comments There are a small number of planning designations that are applicable both on and adjacent to the site. These designations have been identified and described in Section 6.3 and of these designations, those relating to wharfage, heritage, conservation and residential amenity are likely to of most relevance to the proposed development. The site is within a mixed area of industrial uses and residential properties. The closest residences are within approximately 9m of the shaft working area allocated for office, parking and welfare facilities, and approximately 34m from the excavated material and workshop sites. This arrangement and layout of the construction works is considered appropriate and, with mitigation, these separation distances may be considered sufficient in terms of residential amenity. In addition, the operational hours of the construction works would need to be consistent with those normally operated within residential areas, due to the proximity of residential properties. These hours typically include 8am to 6pm during weekdays, 9am to 1pm on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays. The construction works themselves and remaining top structures, with appropriate mitigation, should not result in overly prominent development in this location and should not unacceptably obstruct local views within the Thames Policy Area and from Wandsworth Bridge. The design of the remaining legacy structures would also require careful consideration to ensure they do not result in inappropriate development in this location. The site is located wholly within the Sands End Conservation Area. The use of the site would result in the loss of buildings and/or built features, and the contribution of these buildings to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the impact of their loss may require further consideration. Potential impacts on character and appearance resulting from both the construction works and associated after-use top-structures should be reduced with appropriate mitigation and detailed design consideration. A detailed heritage assessment can be found in Section 7. The site is adjacent to a site of metropolitan importance for nature conservation designation which covers the entire River Thames. Given the extensive nature of this designation, the purpose of the Thames Tunnel Project to improve the environmental condition of the river and the siting of the construction works adjacent to the protected area, it is unlikely that this

6.5.5
Page 7
designation would be unacceptably impacted upon. A detailed assessment of the likely impact is included in Section 7. 6.5.6 The site is adjacent to a safeguarded wharf. In order to determine compliance with local and London Plan policies, consideration will need to be given regarding any potential impact from construction works on the adjacent site, particularly in relation to any existing wharfage operations. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport The site is suitable as an intermediate shaft site as it is likely to be suitable for HGVs to access the TLRN (A3205). To enable site access, some on-street parking bays on Carnwath Road would require removal to provide adequate visibility and to allow for the turning movements of construction vehicles accessing the site. Construction of the overflow culvert would require diversion of Thames Path and shared footway/cycleway. The potential for the workforce to access the site by public transport is low. However, parking for the workforce could potentially be allocated within the site boundary or workforce transport may need to be provided. Archaeology Based on current information, the site is potentially suitable as an intermediate site as no records of archaeological remains of high value being present within the site have been identified at this stage. However, due to a lack of previous investigations in the area, the nature and extent of archaeological receptors cannot be confidently predicted at this stage, and it is possible that archaeological receptors of potential high or medium value may be present within the site. Investigations into adjacent sites suggest that alluvial deposits containing archaeological material are likely to be present in the vicinity. Built heritage and townscape The site is suitable as an intermediate site as it is located on an existing industrial site, impacts on built heritage receptors are likely to be limited to the Sands End Conservation Area, and the site is unlikely to result in severe adverse impacts on the townscape character and views. Mitigation in the form of a high-quality design (with screening where appropriate) is likely to be required to ensure that the Sands End Conservation Area is preserved or enhanced. Water resources hydrogeology and surface water This site is suitable because the intermediate shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non-aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 8.77m above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. No impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected. Superficial deposits at the site comprise alluvium, which is classified as a minor aquifer and which is likely to be subject to a limited impact on flow due to the use of a diaphragm wall or caissons. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable because there is no direct overland pathway for pollution, and standard mitigation to manage drainage (behind the Thames Flood defences) to prevent pollution appears feasible.

Ecology The site is suitable as an intermediate site, as impacts to ecological receptors are likely to be limited. There is some potential for buildings on the site to support roosting bats or nesting birds, and should roosts or breeding birds be identified, then mitigation, possibly including offsite provision and mitigating work practices, would be required. The construction of an overflow culvert in the Thames is likely to require negotiation with the EA and may require compensatory habitat provision and post-works restoration. Flood risk The site is potentially less suitable as an intermediate site as although it is defended from flooding from the River Thames to the 1:1,000-year flood level, space for surface attenuation SuDS is limited and infiltration SuDS may not be suitable, due to the superficial geology and the current development onsite. Air quality This site is suitable for use as an intermediate shaft site as although there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site, these impacts could be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is also the potential for HGV movements to cause localised air quality impacts. However, this could be mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise This site is less suitable as an intermediate site, due to the small separation distances between the site and the closest sensitive receptors, especially during demolition works on the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase and their access route has the potential to cause disturbance to properties lining those streets. Land quality

7.10.1 The site is less suitable as an intermediate site as it has been developed for previous industrial use, principally wharf operations, as well as the historical presence of storage tanks, with potentially offsite contaminating activities including concrete works. The potential sources may impact on site workers and adjacent human receptors through direct contact/vapour inhalation exposure pathways. 8 8.1 8.1.1 8.1.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is within the Sands End ward, which has a mixed population with a range of ages, ethnic backgrounds and economic conditions represented. The site and the Thames Path immediately adjacent to the site are used mainly by industrial estate employees (and also local residents in the case of the Thames Path), although this stretch of riverside footpath is also used recreationally by the occasional jogger, dog walker or nature photographer. Issues and impacts Due to the proposed location of the engineering works, it appears likely that the commercial buildings on the site would be most greatly impacted by the use of the site, as several units may need to be relocated and others would undergo disruption. The dense residential properties overlooking the site may also face disruption.
8.2 8.2.1
8.2.2

8.2.3
The Thames Path may need to be diverted, which may impact on the routines of users. Due to the good environmental quality and standard of maintenance of the Thames Path in this area, the footpath is likely to be valued as a recreational resource by local residents and workers. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction The area identified as a potential intermediate shaft site comprises the entirety of a small estate of eight industrial units, known as 17 to 31 Carnwath Road. No inspection of the property has been undertaken for the purpose of preparing this property assessment, and maps, plans and aerial imagery have been relied upon. There are eight entries in the 2005 Rating List for these industrial units, with an aggregate rateable value of 537,750. Planning enquiries have not revealed any planning applications or permissions for redevelopment of the site in the last five years; the only application being for a minor change of use of Unit 31 in 2005. Crown Land and Special Land comments The site does not include Crown Land or Special Land within the meaning of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. Land to be acquired The compensation assessment assumes that the working areas would be acquired temporarily via the acquisition of new rights for the period of the works stated in the engineering section above. A smaller area would need to be acquired permanently for the operational works, measuring approximately 40m by 50m. Access is available from the public highway into the site and no rights of way or easements have been included in our assessment of this site acquisition cost. Property valuation comments From the referencing exercise, it appears that the freehold may be owned by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and that this is subject to a single head lease and a number of occupational subleases. The units are occupied under the subleases, with various commencement dates, lease terms and rents, but it appears the total rent roll for the units is over 700,000 per annum. While the operational site would only take up the area of two units, the construction phase layout drawing indicates that most of the units would be demolished to provide room for the temporary working facilities. Although units 17 and 19 would not be demolished, they would be unusable for the duration of the works as it would not be possible to gain access to them. It is understood that the land would be reinstated after the works are complete as part of the engineering work and therefore, reinstatement costs are not included in the compensation assessment. This reinstatement is assumed, however, to leave the site in a condition suitable for rebuilding the units, but is assumed not to include the actual reconstruction. Compensation would be 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. Details of the head lease are not known but it is assumed this would be a long lease at a low rent and that the freehold interest would therefore be of a modest value. In addition to the head leaseholders interest (the loss of all rental income for the construction period and some permanent loss), each of the occupiers would be entitled to a claim for the value of

their interest. For the purpose of this assessment, it is assumed that the units are occupied at current market rental levels, so the subleasehold interests are of no significant value. 9.5 9.5.1 Disturbance compensation comments Use of this site would involve the relocation or extinguishment of up to eight businesses, so significant disturbance compensation is anticipated and reflected in the assessment. 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. 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 statutory acquisition costs are assessed as significant but not beyond acceptable limits. SITE CONCLUSIONS BY DISCIPLINE Introduction
9.6 9.6.1
9.6.2
9.7 9.7.1 10 10.1
10.1.1 The conclusions presented in this section are drawn from each disciplines assessment , and are designed to inform the workshop where a final conclusion on whether the site moves forward as one of the preferred sites or not. 10.2 Engineering
10.2.1 This site is suitable as an intermediate shaft site, because it would be of sufficient size and has good vehicular access (although Carnwath Road is only a local road). There would also be enough space to position the shaft away from the proposed route of the National Grid cable tunnel. 10.3 Planning
10.3.1 This site is considered suitable for use as an intermediate shaft site. 10.3.2 Site S70HF is the subject of a number of onsite and adjacent designations and sensitive receptors, such as a conservation area, a site of metropolitan importance for nature conservation and residential properties. It is considered that the current proposed layout of the construction works should provide a sufficient separation distance with residential properties and, when combined with other mitigation measures and controlled working hours, should not lead to an unacceptable impact on residents. Further to this, mitigation related to potential impacts on the conservation area may also be required. 10.4 Environment
10.4.1 Overall, the site is considered to be suitable as an intermediate shaft site, although mitigation would be required. 10.4.2 Based on current information, the site is suitable from the perspectives of transport, archaeology, built heritage, townscape, water resources, ecology and air quality. 10.4.3 This site is considered less suitable from the perspectives of noise, flood risk and land quality.
Page 11
10.4.4 Overall, the site is considered suitable, subject to further investigation of whether noise, flood risk and land quality impacts could be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations would include: Noise standard noise barriers are unlikely to be entirely effective and other techniques may be required to reduce construction noise to acceptable levels Flood risk further investigation to establish whether there is sufficient space and site suitability for infiltration SuDS Land quality any required remediation of contamination (at this medium 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 less suitable as an intermediate shaft site, as its use is likely to have an adverse impact on the businesses currently using the site and mitigation may involve relocation or reducing disruption to business premises. 10.5.2 Noise and visual impacts to households in the overlooking high density residential properties may need to be addressed through mitigation. 10.5.3 Works on the site may require diversion of the Thames Path running adjacent to the site on the west and south sides. Mitigation may involve discussions with various user groups of the Thames footpath. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 The site is considered to be suitable as an intermediate shaft site from a property perspective. 10.6.2 The advantage of this site is that while significant, the acquisition costs should not be unacceptable to the project. The main disadvantage is that use of this site would involve the permanent loss of two commercial units and the temporary loss of six more, four of which would need to be rebuilt at the end of the works, while displacing eight businesses and thereby incurring compensation claims for disturbance.

APPENDIX 9 ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL TABLES
Transport Site considerations Access to road network Comments Site accesses onto Carnwath Road from the industrial site. On-street parking in the vicinity of the access may affect the turning movements of construction vehicles. Carnwath Road is subject to a 30mph speed limit, is street lit and traffic calmed (speed cushions). It has a carriageway width of 8.0m and contains on street parking (reducing effective carriageway width to 6.0m). Some parking spaces will require removal if found to affect the turning movements of construction vehicles using the site access. Visibility achievable to north-east but restricted by parked vehicles to south-west. Access to the A3205 (TLRN strategic highway network) along Carnwath Road (eastbound) onto Wandsworth Bridge Road and across Wandsworth Bridge. Carnwath Road is traffic calmed featuring speed cushions (which will not require removal). There are no visible restrictions over Wandsworth Bridge. Distance to TLRN 0.7km. See Transport Access Plan in Appendix 5. Access to river Located directly adjacent to river. Intermediate shaft site river access not essential as road will be used to transport excavated material to main shaft site. Access to existing railway sidings at Clapham Junction uses the same route to the TLRN (A3205) although continues across the gyratory between the A217 and A3205 onto the A214. The route then turns onto East Hill following onto St Johns Hill before turning onto Plough Road for the Clapham Junction, Traincare River access not required. Excavated material will be transported away by road. Mitigation required and conclusions Removal of some on-street parking bays on Carnwath Road will be required to ensure 90m visibility and if the turning movements of construction vehicles using the access are restricted. Alternative parking available within vicinity of site. Conclusion: Road access to site likely to be suitable for HGVs for accessing the TLRN (A3205). Some on street parking will need to be removed to ensure 90m visibility to south-west and if found to restrict the turning movements of construction vehicles using the site access. Access route to the TLRN (A3205) passes over Wandsworth Bridge with no visible restrictions.
Access to rail
Route to possible rail link at Clapham Junction runs through a high street area along St Johns Hill and under a rail bridge with no visible restrictions in addition to the constraints encountered upon accessing the TLRN (A3205). Clapham Junction railway
Appendix 9 - Page 1
Transport Site considerations Comments Depot railway sidings. The route contains the same constraints as the route to the TLRN (A3205), in addition to passing through a high street area along St Johns Hill. There are no visible restrictions under the rail bridge on Trinity Road. Distance 1.8km to rail access point from shaft site. Parking Parking to be provided within the site boundary for workforce. Parking is available on Carnwath Road for pay & display users Mon-Sat 9:00-17:00 at 1.80/hr for a maximum 8hrs (unlikely to be suitable for workforce). Mitigation required and conclusions sidings at the Traincare Depot accessible using Plough Road.
Up to ten on street parking spaces may require removal to allow construction vehicles access to the site. Alternative parking for displaced parking is provided on Carnwath Road and surrounding roads. Parking for workforce could be provided within site boundary.
Public transport accessibility
PTAL 1-2, as identified within Table 2.3.
PTAL least suitable. Public transport access issues for workforce. Workforce transport could be provided. On street parking will require removal with alternative parking available within close vicinity of site.
Traffic Management
Removal of on-street parking on Carnwath Road will be required in order to accommodate HGV access and achieve adequate visibility. Construction of overflow culvert may require diversion of the Thames Path and shared footway/cycleway that runs along southern border of site near river.
Summary: Site is suitable as an intermediate shaft site as it is likely to be suitable for HGVs to access the TLRN (A3205). To enable site access, some on street parking bays on Carnwath Road would require removal to provide adequate visibility and to allow for the turning movements of construction vehicles accessing the site. Construction of the overflow culvert would require diversion of Thames Path and shared footway/cycleway. The potential for the workforce to access the site by public transport is low, however parking for the workforce could potentially be allocated within the site boundary or workforce transport may need to be provided.
Appendix 9 - Page 2
Archaeology Site considerations Designations, including Archaeological Priority Areas Summary of historical uses Comments No designations within the site boundary. The site appears to have been largely undeveloped until the th early 20 century when an ambulance station was constructed. The site appears to have changed use and layout in the 1960s, and was then referred to as Trinidad Wharf. No archaeological receptors are recorded within the area of the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of high value being present within the site. No archaeological receptors are recorded within the area of the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of medium value being present within the site. Prehistoric material and multi period alluvial deposits containing archaeological material have been identified approximately 100m west of the site. A number of find-spots of prehistoric date are recorded in the vicinity of the site. Dewatering of potential waterlogged deposits may be an issue considering the close proximity of the site to the Thames. The site appears to have undergone extensive development which may have adversely impacted any archaeological material which may be present. Detailed design proposals, and an outline method statement will be required to enable initial assessment of development impacts, and to inform mitigation proposals. With the currently available 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

Extent of existing disturbance (if known)
Potential issues
Appendix 9 - Page 3
Archaeology Site considerations Comments information it is not possible to highlight specific potential issues. Mitigation required and conclusions Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations Archaeological evaluation Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation. Summary: Based on current information, the site is potentially suitable as an intermediate site as no records of archaeological remains of high value being present within the site have been identified at this stage. However due to a lack of previous investigations in the area, the nature and extent of archaeological receptors cannot be confidently predicted at this stage, and it is possible that archaeological receptors of potential high or medium value may be present within the site. Investigations in adjacent sites suggest that alluvial deposits containing archaeological material are likely to be present in the vicinity.

Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Designations including Conservation Areas, including trees Comments Listed Buildings There are no listed buildings within 250m of S70HF. Locally Listed Buildings Although the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham maintains a list of locally listed buildings, this data was not available at the time of this assessment. There are no locally listed buildings within 250m of the site within the borough of Wandsworth. Conservation Areas Sands End Conservation Area: 0m Hurlingham Conservation Area: 220m Registered Historic Parks and Gardens There are no Registered Historic Parks and Gardens within 250 metres of the development site Locally Listed Parks and Gardens There are no locally listed parks and gardens within 250m of the development site. Protected Views There are no protected views within 250 metres site within the Borough of Wandsworth. Information on protected views is not currently available for the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Potential receptors of medium to very high importance with the potential to be directly affected Sands End Conservation Area is likely to be directly impacted upon as a result of the development scheme. Mitigation to enhance or preserve the character or appearance of Sands End Conservation Area. This is likely to require a high quality scheme design in order to mitigate against potential adverse impacts upon the designated area. Mitigation required and conclusions In the case of conservation areas 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 would be required to further inform the likely impact of the development and to determine more detailed mitigation proposals.
Appendix 9 - Page 5
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Other receptors of lesser importance with the potential to be directly affected Potential receptors of medium to very high importance with the potential to be indirectly affected Other receptors of lesser importance with the potential to be indirectly affected Comments Not Applicable. Mitigation required and conclusions Not Applicable.
There is the potential for the Hurlingham Conservation Area to be indirectly affected by the development. Not Applicable.
The Conservation Area has no visual relationship with the site and as such would not require mitigation. Not Applicable.
Sensitive landscape character areas likely to be affected, including trees and TPOs
The site is in the Thames Policy Area and in a Conservation Area. The site is on an existing, operational industrial estate with commercial units. Residential properties (Piper Building) and Carnwath Road to the north, River Thames to the south, Superstore and Wandsworth Bridge to the east and vacant site to the west. Thames Path runs adjacent to southern site boundary. Demolition of buildings will create a void in the streetscape and character of the River frontage. The presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings would potentially result in temporary, adverse direct impacts on the character of the river frontage and temporary, adverse indirect impacts on neighbouring areas. Permanent elements would potentially have an adverse impact on the character of the site and river frontage.
Retention of trees where possible and protection in accordance with BS 5837. Introduction of landscape scheme to include appropriate surface treatments and planting to relate to river frontage. Introduction of appropriate new planting along river frontage. The presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings on the site would potentially impact upon the character of the site and river frontage. Demolition of buildings could, with appropriate mitigation, provide a positive impact on the character of the streetscape and river frontage.
Potential views likely to be affected
Open views from the River and Carnwath Road. Views from the surrounding properties and Wandsworth Bridge.
During construction, ensure use of hoardings and appropriate lighting. Design of finished appearance of top structure and ventilation column to be given careful consideration. Planting to screen
Partial views from the Piper Building.

Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments During construction, views of cranes from surrounding properties and the River. Permanent elements would be visible from the River. Mitigation required and conclusions permanent plant. Adequate new planting would be important to protect visual amenity. Demolition of buildings would change views and there would be scope for softening views with new planting. Any permanent structures would need to be of a high quality design in order that their visual intrusiveness is minimised and, in particular, so that they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sands End Conservation Area and Park in accordance with planning policy and English Heritage guidance. The scheme design would have to be of a sufficiently high quality so that it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Sands End Conservation Area.
Particular considerations on sites where new permanent structures are required
The development site is located within Sands End Conservation Area and as such should be of a high quality design to ensure it preserves or enhances the character of the area.
Potential issues
The main consideration is the development sites location within the Sands End Conservation Area. Mitigation through a high quality scheme design would help reduce any adverse impacts.
Summary: The site is potentially suitable as an intermediate site as it is located on an existing industrial site, impacts on built heritage receptors are likely to be limited to the Sands End Conservation Area, and the site is unlikely to result in severe adverse impacts on the townscape character and views. Mitigation in the form of a high quality design (with screening where appropriate) is likely to be required to ensure that the Sands End Conservation Area is preserved or enhanced.

Mitigation required and conclusions The shaft will be constructed to an invert level of approximately 38.77 mbgl therefore the shaft will be founded in the London Clay. Piezometric head in Chalk will be approximately 8.77 m above the base of the construction.
A simple volumetric approach has been used to calculate the catchment area of the abstraction borehole. A conservative mean annual recharge of 100mm/year was used to calculate a radius of 274 m for licence 1, 160 m for licence 2, 219 m for licence 3 and 851 m for licence 4. As a result, the shaft is not located within the catchment area.

Local Authorities (LA) Unlicensed Groundwater Abstractions and Details Information pending from Hammersmith and Fulham Council No abstraction borehole within 1 km radius inside Wandsworth Council Boundary Borehole locations and depths There are 18 historical records of water wells: 15 deep wells and 3 shallow wells within 1 km radius. Depth range: 101.8 192.02 m. Depth range: 6.8 9.1 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. No impact on groundwater at depth is likely since the intermediate shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). At shallow depth, the shaft is located in Alluvium which is classified as a minor 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

Likely types of mitigation measures that will be required Potential issues No mitigation required if groundwater is not impacted. The intermediate shaft to be excavated in London Clay but to be below piezometric head in Chalk. Potential pressure effects. Limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer. Not applicable Confined head in Chalk to be considered as part of geotechnical design. Impact on and mitigation for shallow aquifer will depend on construction design. Mitigation required and conclusions
Summary: This site is suitable because the intermediate shaft is to be constructed in London Clay (non aquifer). The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 8.77m above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. No impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected. Superficial deposits at the site comprise Alluvium which is classified as a minor aquifer, and which is likely to be subject to a limited impact on flow due to diaphragm wall or caissons. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable because there is no direct overland pathway for pollution and standard mitigation to manage drainage (behind Thames Flood defences) to prevent pollution appears feasible.

Ecology (terrestrial and aquatic) Site considerations Statutory designations Non-statutory designated wildlife sites Comments No sites within 2km River Thames & Tidal Tributaries SMI lies immediately adjacent to site. Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable The construction of the overflow culvert is likely to affect the Thames and would potentially require negotiation with the EA, post-works restoration and compensatory habitat provision. The construction of the overflow culvert is likely to affect the Thames and would potentially require negotiation with the EA, post-works restoration and compensatory habitat provision. If bat roosts were found to be present, mitigation would be required, possibly including off-site provision. If breeding birds were present, mitigating work practices (e.g. avoidance of breeding season) would be required. The construction of the overflow culvert is likely to require detailed aquatic invertebrate and fish investigation. Controls may need to be placed on piling operations close to the river bank. Negotiation with EA required. Potential issues No other issues. No other issues.
BAP priority habitats
Aerial photography is unclear on the quality of the foreshore habitat, but BAP priority habitat mudflats may be present. The adjacent Tidal Thames is a London BAP habitat.
Protected or otherwise notable species within the Study Area
Buildings to be demolished could act as roosts for bats and possibly for nesting birds. No direct impacts on aquatic ecology receptors, although piling close to the river bank could result in impacts on fish in the River Thames.
Summary: The site is potentially suitable as an intermediate site, as impacts to ecological receptors are likely to be limited. There is some potential for buildings on the site to support roosting bats or nesting birds, and should roosts or breeding birds be identified then mitigation, possibly including off-site provision and mitigating work practices, would be required. The construction of an overflow culvert in the Thames is likely to require negotiation with the EA and may require compensatory habitat provision and post-works restoration.
Flood risk assessment Site considerations Flood Risk Zone Comments Flood Zone 3 Defended to the 1in1000 year flood level. there is the potential for 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 Space for surface attenuation SuDS is limited due to site size constraints; hence it would be difficult to attenuate runoff from the site to PPS25 requirements for the duration of construction. Infiltration SuDS may not be suitable due to the superficial geology and the current development on site. Therefore an investigation would be required. Potential issues No other issues. No other issues. Mitigation required and conclusions A FRA would be required to assess the risk of flooding to the site.
Summary: The site is potentially less suitable as an intermediate site as, although it is defended from flooding from the River Thames to the 1:1000 year flood level, space for surface attenuation SuDS is limited and infiltration SuDS may not be suitable due to the superficial geology and the current development on site.
Air quality Site considerations AQMA comments The air quality objective for NO2 is exceeded on major roads in vicinity of site. There are residential properties along Wandsworth Bridge Road (A217) and along the access route from the A217 to the site. There are residential properties within 30m of the proposed site. Existing traffic issues The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions along the A217 corridor. 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 high 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 A217 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
See above. There is no data available at the likely access to A217 and the nearest existing data indicates AQLV exceeded. The risk from additional exhaust emissions from construction HGVs is undefined at present. The risk from dust impacts is moderate.
Potential issues
Summary: This site is suitable for use as an intermediate shaft site as although there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at residential receptors closest to the site, these impacts could be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is also the potential for HGV movements to cause localised air quality impacts, however this could be 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 residential properties on Carnwath Road located to the east of the site and less than 63 dB LAeq at Philpot Square during the day and 55 dB LAeq at night located to the north of the site. The residential properties facing the site are likely to experience moderate to low daytime and night-time noise levels due to their distance from 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 at a distance of approximately 4m during construction works and 85m during operational activities at the nearest sensitive receptors at 5 Carnwath Road to the east of the site. The residential properties at Philpot Square are located 35m to the north. To the south of the site, on the opposite side of the Thames, are residential flats on Smugglers Way. Existing industrial/ warehousing buildings will need to be demolished as part of this site option. The close proximity of demolition works to the sensitive receptors at 5 Carnwath Road will result in a severe noise impact. Sensitive receptors to the east of the site consist of 4 storey residential dwellings. Properties at Philpot Square located to the north consist of 4 storey blocks. The properties on the opposite side of the Thames are 7-8 storey residential flats. There are a number of sensitive Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Comments receptors adjacent to the site access route on Carnwath Road which will considerably be affected by HGV traffic. Existing traffic issues Local road traffic on Carnwath Road and other nearby residential streets, coupled with more distant road traffic on the A219 to the east of the site, will contribute to the local noise climate in the area of the sensitive receptors. Local road traffic on Carnwath Road and other nearby residential streets, coupled with more distant road traffic on the A219 to the east of the site, will contribute to the local noise climate in the area of the sensitive receptors. There are no railway lines or significant industrial noise sources evident in the area. Potential issues Construction: The construction period is estimated at 4 to 5 years and working hours will be 24 hours per day Monday to Saturday. This has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts upon the sensitive receptors on Carnwath Road. A relatively large number of daily HGV movements are anticipated. This number of vehicle movements has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts upon properties on Carnwath Road. Proposed 3m site boundary fencing will provide useful noise mitigation to some plant and construction activities. Situating plant in the south eastern area of the site would maximise the distance between them and the nearest receptors and minimise the potential disturbance. Vibration resulting from general construction works is not anticipated to result in an adverse impact. The nearest 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. Noisy construction activities, or activities which may cause vibration, be undertaken during daytime hours only to reduce the noise impact during nighttime construction. Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions
Existing sources of significant noise emissions
Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Comments receptors to the proposed shaft location are at a distance of approximately 35m and it is unlikely that vibration levels will result in minor cosmetic damage. Vibration levels 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 noise from the ventilation column and associated permanent structures should result in adverse noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. Summary: This site is less suitable as an intermediate site due to the small separation distances between the site and the closest sensitive receptors, especially during demolition works on the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase and their access route has the potential to cause disturbance to properties lining those streets. Mitigation required and conclusions
