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

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

SITE INFORMATION Site and surroundings This site is one of the shortlisted sites for Brixton Storm Relief CSO. This section provides an overview of all the site information that will be used by one or more disciplines to assess the site in sections 3 to 9 of this report. The site C20XH is situated on an area of communal gardens and car parking serving local authority flats, just off Meadow Road. The site is within the Oval area of the London Borough of Lambeth. A site location plan is attached as Appendix 2. The site is within a predominantly residential area, bounded on all sides by five- and six-storey flats, known as Shrewsbury House, Wisden House and Stoddart House. There is also a community hall and playground adjacent to the proposed site. Further east of the site, beyond Shrewsbury House and the A202, is the Oval, the Surrey County Cricket Ground. The site is covered by various designations within the Lambeth Unitary Development Plan. These include a background consultation of the views from Westminster to Parliament Hill and a potential hazard zone. All the mapped designations are shown on the planning and environment plans in Appendix 3. Photographs of the site and surroundings, together with an aerial photograph of the site, are attached as Appendix 4. There is road access to the site from Claylands Road, which directly leads to Kennington Oval (A202). Access is also available through the estate entrance direct from the Kennington Oval (opposite the cricket ground). Vauxhall railway and London Underground station is approximately 600m from the site. There are no existing wharfage/jetty facilities at the site, which is more than 700m from the river. A transport plan for the site is attached as Appendix 5. Third-party assets and significant utilities are listed below and are shown on the services and geology plan in Appendix 6: five-storey residential building outside the north-eastern boundary of the site. four-storey residential building outside the south-eastern boundary of the site. 5No wells outside the northern boundary of the site. 4-inch water main in Claylands Road at the junction with Kennington Oval. 2.4m ID Brixton Storm Relief outside the eastern boundary of the site CSO connection is to this sewer. 1.7m ID Low Level Sewer No 1 outside the eastern boundary of the site.

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. Information on the geology specific to this site can be found within the services and geology plan, which is in Appendix 6. This plan shows that the shaft would be founded in the Lambeth Group. Type of site The site C20XH is being considered as a CSO site to intercept the Brixton Storm Relief CSO (CS20X). PROPOSED USE OF SITE CONSTRUCTION PHASE The proposed construction phase layouts for the CSO site are located in Appendix 7 Construction Phase Layout, and are based on a preliminary assessment.

These drawings provide initial preliminary schematic layouts that have not been optimised. If the site proceeds to the next stage as a preferred site, construction phase layouts would be optimised to minimise impacts. Photographs of typical activities associated with the CSO site construction phase are provided in Appendix 7. Potential above ground construction features include: approximately 3m high hoarding around the site boundary welfare facilities, temporary structures, approximately 3m high grout plant, approximately 3m to 5m high, including silos mobile crane, approximately 30m high (maximum and not for full construction duration).

Schematics of the existing CSO arrangement and the proposed interception works are provided in Appendix 7. To enable the construction of the CSO interception chamber, a full closure of the northbound carriageway (both lanes) of Kennington Oval would be required, including an existing bus lane. The southbound offside lane would be closed to southbound traffic and northbound traffic would run in this lane. To achieve this, the nearside bus lanes would be suspended in both directions through the works and eight bus stops would require relocation for the duration of the works. A preliminary assessment of the traffic management which would be required is indicated on the temporary traffic management plan in Appendix 5. Preliminary data associated with the construction phase are provided in Table 3.1.

PROPOSED USE OF SITE OPERATIONAL PHASE Introduction The indicative operational phase layout for the CSO site is located in Appendix 8 Operational Phase Layout, and is based on a preliminary assessment. The generic elevations of structures shown on the operational phase layout are located in Appendix 8 and provide an illustration of typical examples of the permanent structures which are applicable to CSO sites. The above ground infrastructure at this site is likely to comprise a ventilation column 10m high and 3m diameter, a ventilation building 5m x 15m x 5m high and a 20m x 10m top

structure with openings. The top structure is to provide access and egress into the main shaft and flap valve chamber. 4.1.4 The top structures are envisaged to be finished at a level of 107m tunnel datum (TD) (7mAOD), and since the ground level mean value at this site is 104mTD (4mAOD), the top structures would be raised to approximately 3m above the current ground level. For further information on the generic layout of this top structure, refer to Appendix 8. A hardstanding would be provided to the top structures. The site would not be fenced. Preliminary data associated with the operational phase are provided in Table 4.1. Table 4.1 Operational phase data Level of inspections and maintenance and likely working hours, ie, (night/day/weekend) frequency of visits 1 daytime visit every six months for electrical/instrument inspection. An additional 1 week maintenance period for tunnel/shaft inspection required per 10 years that could be night/day/weekend working. 1 van visit every six months. An additional 1 week period of 2 to 10 movements per day (estimated several vans and 2 cranes) every 10 years. 4.2 4.2.1 Restoration and after-use The portion of the site not occupied by the permanent works would be restored to its original condition on completion of the construction works. If any buildings were demolished, these would not be reinstated unless required. ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT Access This section should be read in conjunction with Section 7.2. Road 5.1.2 For the construction phase, a one-way through system would be in use, with access from Kennington Oval (A202) to the existing residential road (the existing gateway would need to be temporarily removed for construction vehicles) and egress to Claylands Road. For the operational phase, access would be through either the existing estate entrance (subject to size of vehicle to be used) or from Claylands Road. Rail 5.1.4 Vauxhall railway and LU station would be approximately 600m from the site. However, rail access is not considered to be a significant factor for CSO sites.

revised as it was considered that the difference would not change any disciplines conclusion on the suitabilit y of the site. b It was anticipated that the elevation of top structures at both CSO and shaft sites would be finished at 107mTD when the assessment in this report was undertaken. Although this was subsequently changed to 104.5mTD, the assessment was not revised as it was considered that the difference would not change any disciplines conclusion on the suitability of the site.

River 5.1.5 River access and jetty/wharfage facilities are not a requirement for CSO sites. In addition, the site would be more than 700m from the river. Construction works considerations No demolition would be required. Data available on third-party assets and significant utilities show that the main items of concern in this area would be: the 4-inch water main in Claylands Road which may need to be diverted; the 2.4m ID Brixton Storm Relief Sewer outside the eastern boundary of the site (CSO connection is to this sewer); the 1.7m ID Low Level Sewer No 1 outside the eastern boundary of the site and the five- and six-storey residential buildings immediately adjacent to the site. The two sewers would be approximately 50m away from the shaft and therefore unlikely to be significantly impacted on by the construction. Construction methods would be adopted, as appropriate, to mitigate potential settlement of these assets. It is likely that the proposed works can be constructed within the overall construction programme. The interception chamber and part of the connection culvert to the drop shaft would be outside the site. The interception chamber would be in Kennington Oval (A202), which is an approximately 12m-wide, two-way road with lanes on each side, which would need a partial closure during construction. The exact location of the Low Level Sewer which runs parallel to the Brixton Storm Relief is unknown, but its proximity could be an issue in association with the construction of the interception chamber. Permanent works considerations The top structures to the drop shaft and flap valve chamber would be 2m above ground level. Health and safety The site would take up a significant part of an area fronting residential high-rise blocks, and measures would need to be taken to safeguard those residents. There are no other unusual health and safety issues associated with this site. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Introduction The planning assessment builds on the advantages and disadvantages reported in Table 2.3 and covers the following areas: Planning applications and permissions Planning context Planning comments. 6.2 6.2.1 Planning applications and permissions An initial desktop search of the London Borough of Lambeth online planning applications database did not identify any planning applications submitted within the last five years applicable to the site. Planning context The following provides a summary of the relevant local planning policies and designations affecting the site. They are taken from the saved policies from the London Borough of

Lambeth Unitary Development Plan, which was adopted in 2007 and saved beyond 2008. 6.3.2 Policy 41, Background Consultation of the Views from Westminster to Parliament Hill the site is entirely within this background consultation viewing corridor. Policy 41 aims to ensure the background view is not interrupted by obtrusive development. Policy 54, Potential Hazard Zone the site is partially within the Oval Gas Works Potential Hazard Zone. Policy 54 states that development in such areas will be controlled if this would create an unacceptable risk. The site is in close proximity to residential properties. Policy 7, Protection of Residential Amenity seeks to protect the amenity of existing residential properties from adverse environmental and traffic impacts arising from new or intensification of existing incompatible non-residential uses. 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 Lambeth 6.4.2 The council considered that the site would have a significant adverse impact on the amenity of surrounding residents and also expressed concerns regarding the impact on traffic. Foreshore sites are preferred to this land-based site. It will be necessary to present further options for the storm relief to the council before the site is considered as an option. The existing housing estate holds landscaped and parking areas (designations). English Heritage 6.4.3 English Heritage advised that this site was preferable. Environment Agency 6.4.4 No comment. Port of London Authority 6.4.5 No comment. Transport for London 6.4.6 No comment. Other statutory consultees 6.4.7 6.5 6.5.1 6.5.2 No comment. Planning comments A number of planning designations and policies are applicable onsite. These designations and policies have been identified and described in Section 6.3. The site is within a background consultation viewing corridor. However, the proposed construction works and remaining top structures are unlikely to be of a height or scale that would interrupt this view. Furthermore, the surrounding residential properties would act as a screen around the development, thus it is unlikely to conflict with Policy 41. The development would be partially within a potential hazard zone. It is unknown at this stage what, if any, hazards the scheme would present to the Oval Gasworks. Suitable Page 6

investigation and remediation works would need to be agreed with the LPA in accordance with Policy 54. 6.5.4 Residential properties abut the site on all sides. Bearing in mind the proximity and height of the neighbouring residential buildings of up to six storeys, mitigation against potential impacts resulting from dust, noise, vibration and traffic movements may be difficult. Many of the properties adjacent to the site are also orientated towards the proposed site and therefore an impact on visual amenity is also likely. The site would also temporarily utilise an area currently used for car parking and general amenity space. Replacement car parking facilities are likely to be required, and provision of these may be difficult in this location. Overall, the impacts on residential amenity are unlikely to be acceptable and could require extensive mitigation measures in order to comply with Policy 7. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL Introduction The following sections summarise specialist assessments which are provided in Appendix 9 Environmental Appraisal Tables. Transport The site is less suitable as a CSO site because it would require the temporary closure of Kennington Oval (A202) for the construction of an interception chamber. A signalised pedestrian crossing would require relocating to a suitable location nearby to enable access into the site. Access to the site also requires the widening of an existing footway and the removal of a wall and bollards. The site egress requires the removal of on-street parking. The road access route to the TLRN (A3) is possible, passing through residential roads with on-street parking on both sides. Access to rail is possible, passing over and under a bridge with no visible restrictions. However, rail transport is unlikely to be required due to the small volumes of excavated material produced by a CSO site. The site is remote from the river, although river access is not essential for CSO sites. Some parking could be provided onsite for the workforce. There is limited parking available on surrounding roads due to the red route and permit holder restrictions. Approximately 30 parking spaces would be displaced by the site, with limited potential to relocate the displaced parking on surrounding roads. There is a good potential for the workforce to utilise public transport to access the site. Archaeology Based on current information, this site is suitable as a CSO site as there are no known archaeological receptors within the site. However, it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. While no direct evidence has been revealed, peat deposits containing archaeological material may be present at depth. Built heritage and townscape This site is less suitable as a CSO site because although it would result in relatively few impacts upon the built heritage environment, it has the potential to have an adverse impact upon the local townscape character and views. Potential impacts upon one Grade II listed building and two conservation areas could be mitigated through implementation of a high-quality scheme design and/or screening of the site, especially during construction. Similar mitigation, including an integrated landscape scheme, could help mitigate potential impacts upon the local townscape character and views.

Water resources hydrogeology and surface water In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as a CSO site because although the construction of the drop shaft would take place within Lambeth Group (minor aquifer) which is in hydraulic continuity with Chalk (major aquifer), the site does not lie within a 400-day capture zone of licensed abstractions. No long-term impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected, although temporary dewatering would be required during the construction phase. The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 0.6 metres above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. The superficial deposits are Kempton Gravel, which is classified as a minor aquifer at the shaft site. Limited impact is expected on flow in the shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable as a CSO site because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution. As such, only standard mitigation would be required. Ecology This site is suitable as a CSO site. If selected, it may only require basic ecological surveys and is likely to require only limited habitat mitigation or compensation. Flood risk This site is suitable as a CSO site because it is defended from flooding from the River Thames, and there is space available and suitable geology for infiltration SuDS. Air quality This site is less suitable for use as a CSO site. There are residential properties in close proximity to the site, so there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at these properties. These impacts can be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality. This can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours. Noise This site is less suitable as a CSO site. The distances between the site and the nearest residential receptors are short, therefore adverse noise and vibration impacts are likely. There is also a high density of residential dwellings around the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase is anticipated to be relatively high and therefore an adverse noise impact is likely to occur at properties located immediately next to the site and also on Kennington Oval. Perimeter hoarding would reduce potential noise impact but would be relatively ineffective at shielding noise from the upper floor properties at Wisden House, Stoddart House and Shrewsbury House.

7.10.1 The site is considered suitable as a CSO site because previous uses appear to have been limited to residential housing and soft landscaping. The distances and nature of potentially contaminating activities in the vicinity of the site are unlikely to have resulted in significant contamination of the site.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Socio-economic profile The site is within the Oval ward of Lambeth. Statistics from the Office of National Statistics 2001 Census data show the following indicators for the ward, in comparison to the rest of Lambeth, London and England as a whole: Higher rate of economically active, aged people that are full-time employees or self-employed. A higher proportion having achieved lLevel 4 or 5 educational qualifications and a corresponding high proportion of people in managerial or professional occupations. A lower proportion of owner occupied households and a higher proportion of housing rented from housing associations. A higher proportion of people aged between 25 and 59. 65% of ward residents were born in the UK and there is a higher proportion of white British people compared to the borough or London.
8.1.2
These statistics indicate that people in this area are mostly highly educated working professionals. The site visit found the site was fairly quiet, with some children playing football on the hard surface surrounding the central green area. Issues and impacts Due to the engineering requirements for a CSO site in this location, the greatest potential impact from a community perspective is likely to be the loss of an area of gardens and the impact on the adjacent residential properties. The open space appears likely to be important to residents of the surrounding properties, especially given that the surrounding buildings are social housing and they do not appear to have any private outdoor space. The site visit found that the site was generally quiet. Use of the site is likely to increase noise levels and may affect those people using the space, as well as residents in the surrounding flats in Shrewsbury House, Wisden House and Stoddart House. There is a community hall and playground adjacent to the site. The increased noise and potential disturbance to access is likely to affect the use of the hall. Any impact on car parking may also affect use of the hall for people travelling there by car. There are three schools in the wider area to the north and southeast, and these may be affected by the use of the site, although the buildings surrounding the site are likely to act as barriers to reduce the noise from the site. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT Introduction This site is under consideration as a potential CSO site, and comprises the car parking and communal gardens to the local authority residential properties known as Shrewsbury House and Wisden House. Crown Land and Special Land comments Land referencing data confirms that the site is held by the London Borough of Lambeth. The site will therefore be considered as Special Land. Prior to selecting the site, the responsible authority must be consulted so that it can be established whether there are any fundamental issues arising that might prejudice the practicability of using the land. The land may be classified as Special Land under Section 17 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. If this is the case, and if an acquisition cannot be agreed with the freeholder, a ministerial procedure may be needed after the Order is confirmed. As the whole Order

would be subject to the ministerial procedure, not just this site, the project could be delayed by a minimum period of several months in the best case. In the worst case the Order might be rejected by the Minister, in which case an Act of Parliament would be needed before the Order could come into effect. This could delay the project for a much longer period and even result in the Order failing. 9.2.3 Until discussions have taken place with the freeholder, it is not known if it will agree to the acquisition. Therefore there is a risk that if the freeholder will not co-operate, the whole project could be significantly delayed or even stopped by the special parliamentary procedure. It would therefore be advisable to discuss the acquisition with the freeholder at an early stage and seek agreement to the acquisition. Land to be acquired The compensation assessment assumes that the worksite and access to it would be acquired temporarily via the acquisition of new rights for the period of the works stated in the engineering section above. At the end of the works, a smaller area would need to be acquired permanently. The site required during the construction phase falls within an area used as car parking and open space between the residential blocks. The area required permanently for the operational phase is shown as being sited within the open space and measuring approximately 10m x 20m. Property valuation comments Compensation for the acquisition of new rights is normally based on the diminution in value to the land caused by the acquisition. Compensation for the permanent acquisition of land is normally based on market value. However, compensation for the permanent acquisition of unusual types of property, where there is no general market, can be assessed on the basis of the cost of equivalent reinstatement at a new site, but there must be a genuine intention to reinstate. If compensation is assessed on a diminution in value basis for the new rights (temporary occupation during works, access rights during works, access rights for operational purposes) and on a market value basis for the permanent acquisition, the costs are likely to be relatively low and therefore acceptable. If compensation is assessed on an equivalent reinstatement basis, then the acquisition costs would be significantly higher, but still acceptable. No rights of way or easements have been included in the assessment of this site acquisition cost. Disturbance compensation comments During construction, the works are likely to cause major inconvenience to residents, who would be unable to utilise the car parking spaces. It may be the case that residents have exercised the right to buy and hold a long-term interest in car parking spaces. This potentially exposes the project to multiple compensation claims. While use of this site is likely to raise objections from the residents, it is unlikely that any compensation claims arising from the use of the site would be beyond an acceptable level. Offsite statutory compensation comments The risk of offsite statutory compensation claims arising under Section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 is considered to be low, provided access is maintained over the estate roads to the other blocks and parking areas. It should be noted that construction would take place close to residential properties. The risk of claims arising under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 is considered to be low.

Site acquisition cost assessment The site acquisition costs are considered to be acceptable. SITE CONCLUSIONS BY DISCIPLINE Introduction
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 less suitable as a CSO site because even though it would be large enough to fit all the facilities, the distance from the river would be more than 700m and the construction of the interception chamber may require the diversion of the 1.7m Low Level Sewer and the partial closure of Kennington Oval (A202). 10.2.2 Whether a CSO site of this size would be appropriate or not for the interception of the Brixton Storm Relief CSO would be considered at the next stage, in conjunction with the drive strategy that is developed in the Engineering Options Report. 10.3 Planning
10.3.1 On balance, the site is considered not suitable as a CSO site. 10.3.2 The proximity and density of residential dwellings around the site would result in the loss of residential amenity, for which sufficient mitigation is likely to be difficult. 10.4 Environment
10.4.1 Overall, the site is considered suitable as a CSO site, although a number of environmental constraints have been identified. 10.4.2 The site is suitable for use as a CSO site from the perspectives of archaeology, water resources (both hydrogeology and surface water), ecology, flood risk and land quality. 10.4.3 The site is less suitable from the perspective of transport, built heritage and townscape, air quality and noise. 10.4.4 Overall, it is considered the site may be suitable. However, further investigation would be required as to whether transport, built heritage and townscape, air quality and noise impacts could all be adequately mitigated. Likely mitigation considerations would include the following: Transport identifying an acceptable solution to the temporary closure of the A202 Kennington Oval and the displacement of residential car parking. A new location would also have to be found for the signalised pedestrian crossing. Built heritage and townscape a high-quality scheme design and/or screening of the site would be required to minimise impacts on the listed building, conservation area, the local townscape character and local views. Air quality measures to ensure dust is adequately mitigated for the closest receptors. Noise standard noise barriers are unlikely to be entirely effective, and other techniques may be required to reduce construction noise to acceptable levels.

10.5
Socio-economic and community
10.5.1 From a community impacts perspective, this site appears not suitable for use as a CSO site. Use of the site appears likely to have a significant impact on the residents living in the properties surrounding the proposed site. 10.5.2 Use of the site would lead to loss of an area of garden and parking serving residential properties and increased noise levels, which may affect those people using the remaining space and residents in the surrounding the properties. Mitigation is likely to involve discussions around minimising noise disturbance and potentially limiting working hours. 10.5.3 In addition, the permanent features required may be disruptive to fully restoring the area. Any loss of car parking spaces and open space is likely to be difficult to mitigate, given the location of this site in a densely built-up residential area. Mitigation is likely to involve discussions around minimising disturbance to the area and returning the area to an appropriate condition after the works. 10.5.4 There is a community hall adjacent to the site and the increased noise and potential disturbance to access is likely to affect the use of the hall. Mitigation is likely to involve discussions around minimising noise disturbance and potentially limiting working hours. 10.6 Property
10.6.1 The site is considered suitable as a CSO site from a property perspective.

APPENDIX 9 ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL TABLES
Transport Site considerations Access to road network Comments Site access proposed from the A202 Kennington Oval via an existing pedestrian access which would require widening. The access road would require construction with the removal of a wall and some bollards to enable vehicles to use the access road. The controlled pedestrian crossing located at the access point would require relocating. The site egress would utilise an existing access onto Meadow Road to the south of the site. This would create a one-way system through the site for construction vehicles. Several on street parking bays would require removal for construction vehicles to utilise the egress and to achieve adequate visibility. Meadow Road is a street lit residential road subject to a 30mph speed limit. It contains on street parking bays on both sides. Visibility from the site egress appears to be adequate in both directions along Meadow Road. The sites interception chamber is located in Kennington Oval which would require a temporary closure. Access route to the TLRN (A3) uses Meadow Road and Claylands Road which are residential roads with on street parking on both road sides. Distance 0.4km to TLRN (A3). See Transport Access Plan in Appendix 5. Access to river Site is remote from the river. River access not essential as excavated material would be transported to a main shaft hub site. Site is remote from river, although river access is not essential as excavated material would be transported to a main shaft hub site. Mitigation required and conclusions Conclusion: Site is less suitable, requiring the temporary partial closure of Kennington Oval for the construction of the interception chamber. A controlled pedestrian crossing would also need to be relocated. The access road through the site would need to be constructed with the removal of a wall and some bollards. Site egress requires the removal of on street parking. Route to TLRN (A3) passes through a residential area with on street parking on both sides of the road.
Appendix 9 - Page 1
Transport Site considerations Access to rail Comments Use of rail is unlikely to be required due to the small quantities of excavated material produced by a CSO site. Closest rail connection at Victoria (Grosvenor) using the same route to the TLRN (A3) and then Kennington Oval and over Vauxhall Bridge which has no visible restrictions. The use of these by Train Operating Companies has not been investigated. Route passes through a residential area and underneath a rail bridge with no visible restrictions. Distance 3.8km to potential rail link. Parking Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce. Limited on street parking within the vicinity of the site due to the red route and permit holder restrictions. Site located on car park for residential tower block and would cause the displacement of approximately 30 parking spaces. Public transport accessibility PTAL 5-6 (high), as identified within Table 2.3. Widening of existing pedestrian access, construction of access road and removal of wall and bollards. Relocation of controlled signalised crossing to a suitable location nearby. Removal of some on street parking on Meadow Road. Temporary partial closure of Kennington Oval during the construction of the interception chamber. Displacement of approximately 30 parking spaces. Mitigation required and conclusions Use of rail is unlikely to be required. Closest rail connection at Victoria (Grosvenor) Carriage Shed. The use of these by Train Operating Companies has not been investigated. Route passes through a residential area and passes over Vauxhall bridge and under one rail bridge which have no visible restrictions.
Some parking could be provided onsite for workforce. Limited parking available on surrounding roads. Large displacement of parking, with very limited potential to provide parking elsewhere. Good potential for workforce to access site by public transport. Widening of existing pedestrian access and construction of access road. Removal of wall, bollards, on street parking. Relocation of signalised crossing. Temporary partial closure of Kennington Oval. Displacement of around 30 parking spaces.

Appendix 9 - Page 2
Transport Site considerations Comments Mitigation required and conclusions
Summary: The site is less suitable as a CSO site because it would require the temporary closure of Kennington Oval (A202) for the construction of an interception chamber. A signalised pedestrian crossing would require relocating to a suitable location nearby to enable access into the site. Access to the site also requires the widening of an existing footway and the removal of a wall and bollards. The site egress requires the removal of on street parking. The road access route to the TLRN (A3) is possible, passing through residential roads with on street parking on both sides. Access to rail is possible passing over and under a bridge with no visible restrictions. However, rail transport is unlikely to be required due to the small volumes of excavated material produced by a CSO site. The site is remote from the river, although river access is not essential for CSO sites. Some parking could be provided onsite for the workforce. There is limited parking available on surrounding roads due to the red route and permit holder restrictions. Approximately 30 parking spaces would be displaced by the site, with limited potential to relocate the displaced parking on surrounding roads. There is a good potential for the workforce to utilise public transport to access the site.
Appendix 9 - Page 3
Archaeology Site considerations Designations, including Archaeological Priority Areas Summary of historical uses Comments The site is not within an Archaeological Priority Area (APAS) The 19th century OS maps indicate the site to be located immediately to the south west of the Oval Cricket ground in an area occupied by St Peters House and associated grounds. The house is gone by the midth 20 C and low rise tower blocks th constructed in the later 20 C. No archaeological receptors of high value are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of High value being within the site. Potential receptors of medium value with the potential to be directly affected No archaeological receptors of medium value are recorded within the site. This does not preclude the possibility of unrecorded archaeological receptors of Medium value being within the site. Other receptors with the potential to be directly affected Construction impact of potential waterlogged deposits containing archaeological remains may cause dewatering. This potential impact should be considered even though the site is not in close proximity to the Thames River. Construction impact of previous development for the various recent and modern structures may have disturbed earlier remains. Borehole data in the area suggests made ground of 7 m some of which could be archaeological in nature. Detailed design proposals, and an outline method statement would be required to enable initial assessment of development impacts, and to inform mitigation proposals. Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
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
Mitigation methods could include: Review/production of existing desk based assessments (Report exists)

Archaeology Site considerations Comments Mitigation required and conclusions Production of deposits model Archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations Archaeological evaluation Archaeological watching brief Archaeological excavation. Summary: Based on current information this site is suitable as a CSO site as there are no known archaeological receptors within the site. However, it is possible that archaeological receptors of high or medium value may be present within this site. While no direct evidence has been revealed peat deposits containing archaeological material may be present at depth.

Mitigation required and conclusions In the case of listed buildings and 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. On the basis of currently available information (July 2009), mitigation would not be applicable in the case of locally listed buildings, registered historic parks and gardens, locally listed parks and gardens, and protected views.
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments buildings but this was not available for consultation at the time of this assessment. Conservation Areas Vauxhall Conservation Area: 5m St Marks Conservation Area: 10m Registered Historic Parks and Gardens There are no registered historic parks and gardens within 250m of C02XH. Locally Listed Parks and Gardens There are no locally listed parks and gardens with 250m of C02XH. However, the site lies adjacent to the Oval Cricket Ground (Surrey County Cricket Club, Kennington Oval). This sports ground is protected by specific related policies in the Lambeth Unitary Development Plan, attention should be drawn to the following policies which may be applicable to this important sporting venue: Policies 50 and 51. Protected Views There are no protected views within 250m of C02XH Potential receptors of medium to very high importance with the potential to be directly affected 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 Not Applicable Not Applicable Mitigation required and conclusions

Not Applicable
There is the potential for 18 Grade II listed buildings and 2 conservation areas (the Vauxhall Conservation Area; and, the St Marks Conservation Area) to be indirectly affected by construction and operation of the development, especially during construction.
Of the 18 listed buildings within 250m of C02XH, only the Grade II listed 52 Kennington Oval is likely to share a visual relationship with the site and therefore has the potential for its setting to be affected by the development. However, this impact is likely to be restricted to the construction phase of the
Appendix 9 - Page 7
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments Mitigation required and conclusions scheme as the majority of the site is screened from the Grade II 52 Kennington Oval by existing buildings. Nonetheless, mitigation in the form of a high quality scheme design and/or screening may be required to reduce any adverse visual effects upon this listed structure. The remaining 17 listed buildings (all Grade II) fall outside of the visual envelope of C20XH. Consequently no impact upon these listed buildings is anticipated as a result of construction and operation of the development and no mitigation would be required. The Vauxhall Conservation Area and the St Marks Conservation Area both fall within the visual envelope of C20XH (the boundary of both designated areas lies within 10m of the site boundaries). Although C20XH is largely screened by surrounding buildings, there remains the possibility that the site would be visible in views to and from both conservation areas and could impact upon their setting, particularly during construction. Mitigation in the form of a high quality scheme design and/or screening is may be required to reduce any adverse impacts.

Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Comments densely built-up residential area. Residential development to the north with Harleyford Road further north along with a primary school, Brit Oval Cricket Ground to the east of Kennington Oval, mix of terrace houses, a high-rise building and flats to the south, residential development to the west with Vauxhall Park further west. Loss of mature trees onsite increases openness. The presence and operation of machinery, materials stores and buildings would result in temporary, severe adverse direct impacts on the character of the site and temporary, adverse indirect impacts on neighbouring areas. Permanent elements would adversely impact the character of the site and the streetscape of Claylands Road. Potential views likely to be affected Site in Background Assessment Area of View Policy 41 Open views from overlooking residential tower blocks, those in Claylands Road, and high-rise building in Meadow Road. Partially interrupted views from Kennington Oval, residential properties to the south-west of Harleyford Road, Bedser Close, and Claylands Road. During construction, views of cranes from Harleyford Road, Claylands Road, Ebbisham Drive, Vauxhall Park, Meadow Road, Kennington Oval, and railway line to the west and Kennington Park to the east. Permanent elements would be mainly visible from overlooking tower blocks, residences in Claylands Road and the road itself. During construction, the use of hoardings and appropriate lighting would minimize visual impact at least from ground level and lower floors of adjacent tower blocks. Design of top structure, vent column, and electrical kiosk to be given careful consideration. Planting to screen permanent plant. Integrated landscape scheme to enhance visual amenity and reduce visual impact. This site is not suitable since it would cause a severe and adverse visual impact on the overlooking residential properties and the surrounding residential neighbourhood. Mitigation required and conclusions appropriate surface treatments and planting to replace lost vegetation and re-instate the character of the site and streetscape of Claylands Road. This site is not suitable since it would have a major impact on the character of the adjacent residential tower blocks and the streetscape of Claylands Road which is essentially a residential street. It would have an indirect impact on the streetscape of Kennington Oval and the surrounding residential properties.
Appendix 9 - Page 9
Built heritage and townscape Site considerations Particular considerations on sites where new permanent structures are required Comments Permanent structures at C02XH have the potential to have an impact upon 1 Grade II listed building, 2 conservation areas and upon the local townscape character and local views. Careful consideration would need to be given to the appearance of any above ground structures in the scheme design and some form of screening and landscaping for the site may be required. Construction and operation of the development could result in An indirect impact upon 1 Grade II listed building, 2 conservation areas and upon the local townscape character and local views. There is the potential to mitigate adverse impacts through a high quality scheme design and/or screening and landscaping. Mitigation required and conclusions Any permanent structures would need to be of a high quality design and/or screened in order that any potential indirect impacts upon 1 Grade II listed building, 2 conservation areas and the local townscape character and local views are mitigated against.
Potential issues
The scheme design would need to be of a sufficiently high quality and may need to incorporate some screening in order that the potential visual impact of the development upon 1 Grade II listed building, two conservation areas and the local townscape character and local views is minimised.
Summary: This site is less suitable as a CSO site because although it would result in relatively few impacts upon the built heritage environment it has the potential to have an adverse impact upon the local townscape character and local views. Potential impacts upon one Grade II listed building and two Conservation Areas could be mitigated through implementation of a high quality scheme design and/or screening of the site, especially during construction. Similar mitigation, including an integrated landscape scheme, could help mitigate potential impacts upon the local townscape character and local views.

Local Authorities (LA) Unlicensed Groundwater Abstractions and Details No abstraction borehole within 1km radius inside Wandsworth Council Boundary No abstraction borehole within 1km radius inside Southwark Council Boundary No abstraction borehole within 1km radius inside Lambeth Council Boundary Borehole locations and depths There are 16 historical records of water wells within 1km radius. Depth range: 10.46 153.01m Potential impacts on surface water features The site is located approximately 675m to the east of the River Thames. There is no direct pathway for pollution to the River Thames. Potential impacts on groundwater (resources and quality) Impact is expected on groundwater at depth since the drop shaft is to be constructed in Lambeth Group (minor aquifer) which is in hydraulic continuity with Chalk. Dewatering would be required during construction. At shallow depth, the shaft is located in Kempton Gravel which is classified as a minor aquifer. Limited impact on shallow if water is excluded from Work needs to be undertaken in consideration of Pollution Prevention Guidelines PPG1, PPG5 and PPS23. See below (likely types of mitigation measures that would be required) Not applicable
Water resources hydrogeology and surface water Site considerations Comments the excavation by sheet piling. Likely types of mitigation measures that would be required Mitigation unlikely to be required as construction of the drop shaft would not take place within the 400 day capture zone of licensed abstractions. The drop shaft to be excavated in Lambeth Group below piezometric head in Chalk therefore dewatering would be required during construction. Limited impact on flow in shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions
Potential issues
Piezometric head in Chalk to be considered as part of geotechnical design. The issue of the appropriate disposal of discharges from dewatering to be considered.
Summary: In terms of hydrogeology, this site is suitable as a CSO site because although the construction of the drop shaft would take place within Lambeth Group (minor aquifer), which is in hydraulic continuity with Chalk (major aquifer), the site does not lie within a 400 day capture zone of licensed abstractions. No long term impact on the Chalk aquifer is expected, although temporary dewatering would be required during the construction phase. The Chalk piezometric head is likely to be approximately 0.6 metres above the base of construction and should be taken into account in the engineering design. The superficial deposits are Kempton Gravel which is classified as a minor aquifer at the shaft site. Limited impact is expected on flow in the shallow aquifer due to sheet piling. In terms of surface water resources, this site is suitable as a CSO site because there is no direct pathway to the River Thames for pollution. As such, only standard mitigation would be required. Note: 1 Piezometric head is a specific measurement of water pressure above a datum.
Ecology (terrestrial and aquatic) Site considerations Statutory designations Non-statutory designated wildlife sites BAP priority habitats Comments None within 2km None nearby Parts of the site comprise London BAP habitat parks, Squares and Amenity Grassland. Trees onsite and adjacent buildings may have potential to support roosting bats. Mitigation required and conclusions None required None required Loss of amenity grassland habitat may require limited compensatory provision If bat roosts were found to be present, mitigation would be required, possibly including offsite provision. Careful placement of lighting to minimise illumination of surrounding habitat is likely to be required. Mitigation would be possible but may require offsite provision. None required Potential issues No further issues Not applicable
Protected or otherwise notable species within the Study Area
Site has low potential to support reptile species No direct impact on aquatic receptors.
Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site. If selected, it may only require basic ecological surveys and is likely to require only limited habitat mitigation or compensation.
Flood risk assessment Site considerations Flood Risk Zone Comments Flood Zone 3 - 1 in 200 year flood extent) but defended to the 1 in 1000 year flood level there is a residual risk of a breach for which mitigation would need to be considered as part of the FRA. Sewage transmission infrastructure is considered to be water compatible according to table D.2 of PPS25 Assessment of conditions for SuDS The site is currently mainly Greenfield, with sand and gravel geology (suitable infiltration conditions). There is sufficient space onsite for the provision of infiltration SuDS. No further issues Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions An FRA would be required to assess the residual risk of flooding to the site.
Potential issues
Not applicable
Summary: This site is suitable as a CSO site because the site is defended from flooding from the River Thames and there is space available and suitable geology for infiltration SuDS.
Air quality Site considerations AQMA Comments The air quality objectives for NO2 exceeded on major roads in vicinity of site. There are residential properties along Kennington Oval (A202). There are residential properties within 10m of the site at Stoddart House and Wisden House. Mitigation required and conclusions There is a need for more site specific data. There are relevant air quality sensitive receptors present along the route the construction traffic is likely to take and close to the proposed construction works. Additional vehicle emissions have a moderate potential to interfere with local air quality action plan policies. See above Collect a minimum of 6 months diffusion tube data at site access to the A202 or other point of access to major road network. Minimise HGV movements on the local road network during the peak hour. Standard dust control measures would minimise the effect of fugitive dust on nearby sensitive receptors.
Sensitive Receptors
Existing traffic issues
The main traffic issue in this area is exhaust emissions from vehicles along the A202 and A3 corridors. See above There is no data at likely access to A202 and the nearest existing data indicates existing exceedance of AQLV. The risk from additional exhaust emissions from construction HGVs is undefined at present. The risk from dust impacts at residential properties is moderate.
Existing sources of significant air pollutants Notable gaps in existing air quality monitoring
Potential issues
Summary: This site is less suitable for use as a CSO site. There are residential properties in close proximity to the site and so there is potential for fugitive emissions of dust during construction to have a perceptible impact at these properties. These impacts can be minimised with standard dust control measures. There is potential for HGV movements on the local road network to cause localised air quality impacts in areas of already poor air quality. This can be somewhat mitigated by minimising the movement of HGVs during peak hours.
Noise Site considerations Noise band level (from Defra noise maps) Comments Information from Defra noise maps indicates daytime noise levels of less than 58 dB LAeq and night-time noise levels of less than 50 dB LAeq at the nearest residential properties located to the site. The residential properties closest to and facing the site are likely to experience relatively moderate daytime and nighttime noise levels due to their proximity to the A202. Noise levels from the Defra noise maps provide an indication of prevailing noise levels only, and would not be employed in any detailed assessments for chosen sites. Sensitive receptors There are sensitive receptors close to all boundaries of the site. The closest receptors are located at Wisden House, Stoddart House and Shrewsbury House. Sensitive receptors at Wisden House to the north and west of the site consist of 5 storey high residential flats. These are located on the temporary working area boundary and 7m from the shaft location. Properties on at Stoddart House to the south/south east of the site consist of 6 storey residential flats and are located on the temporary working area boundary and 10m from the shaft location. Existing traffic issues Road traffic on local roads including the A202 to the north of the site would contribute to the existing noise climate in the area. Road traffic on local roads including the A202 to the north of the site would contribute to the existing noise climate in the area. There are no railways or Not applicable Not applicable Mitigation required and conclusions Not applicable
Existing sources of significant noise emissions
Not applicable
Noise Site considerations Comments significant industrial noise sources noted in the immediate surrounding area. Potential issues Construction: The construction period is estimated at 0.5 to 2 years and working hours would be 12 hours per day (7am-7pm) Monday to Saturday. This has the potential to result in adverse noise impacts to sensitive receptors surrounding the site. A relatively high number of daily HGV movements are anticipated. This has the potential to have an adverse impact on residential receptors located at Wisden House, Stoddart House and Shrewsbury House and also properties located along Kennington Oval. The site area is fairly large and, whilst the shaft location may be fixed, ancillary plant should be sited as far as is practicable from surrounding sensitive receptors to minimise potential disturbance. Proposed 3m site boundary fencing would provide useful noise mitigation to some plant and construction activities. Vibration resulting from general construction works is not anticipated to result in an adverse impact. The nearest receptors to the proposed shaft location are at a distance of approximately 7m and it is possible that vibration levels may result in minor cosmetic damage during shaft sinking and may also 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 top chamber should Adherence to the good site practices provided in BS5228. Siting of noisy equipment and construction activities as far as is practicable from sensitive receptors. Provision of site boundary noise fences. Mitigation required and conclusions
Noise Site considerations Comments result in adverse noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. Summary: This site is less suitable as a CSO site. The distances between the site and the nearest residential receptors are short and so adverse noise and vibration impacts are likely. There is also a high density of residential dwellings around the site. The number of vehicles associated with the construction phase is anticipated to be relatively high and therefore an adverse noise impact is likely to occur at properties located immediately next to the site and also on Kennington Oval. Perimeter hoarding would reduce potential noise impact but would be relatively ineffective at shielding noise from the upper floor properties at Wisden House, Stoddart House and Shrewsbury House.
