Recommendations

We recommend regulatory consultation with the Local Authority Environmental Health and Planning Departments and Environment Agency to include a review of planning records for the Site, details of any past Site investigations/remediation work and relevant information concerning the Authorities contaminated land strategy under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Such enquiries should make specific reference to the landfill sites identified and aim to clarify boundary information, the types of waste accepted, whether any groundwater/ground gas monitoring programs exist, details of investigations or remediation work undertaken (for ground gas or leachate) and any reports indicating that landfill gas or leachate is affecting surrounding properties. Argyll can complete this work as an upgrade to a Site Solutions Consult, which is available for this Site for £405 plus VAT (includes all disbursements). This report can usually be prepared within 10-15 working days but may take up to 20 working days depending on response times. Please contact us on 0845 458 5250 if you would like further assistance.

Contaminated Land Risk Analysis

InvestigationCommentary

On-site sources A review of historical maps indicates the Site remained largely undeveloped until c.1896 when the south of the Site was occupied by a number of glass roofed structures, assumed to be greenhouses. By c.1958 additional development was identified as Rivernook Farm with associated buildings, a bungalow and an extension to the nursery. The Site has remained unchanged since this date.

We have been informed by the client that the Site is currently in commercial & residential use and that it will continue in this use without redevelopment. According to trade directories, current or recent operations at the Site include wrought ironwork.

In addition, a Historical Landfill Site recorded as accepting inert waste operational from 31st July 1975 until 31st December 1986.

Furthermore, a Discharge Consent has been recorded on the Site however this appears to be operated by Thames Water Utilities.

Argyll's Comment

As a result of the historical and current use of the Site, there is a moderate to high risk of contaminants being present.

Off-site sources A limited number of historical or current potentially contaminative uses were identified in proximity to the Site. These include: a pump house adjacent to the north c.1896-1938; a disused gravel pit 55m north c.1958-1966; a sand and gravel works adjacent to the north c.1977, later noted as a works c.1991-1999; and electrical sub station facilities 26m north west and 41m south1977. According to trade directories, current or recent operations in proximity to the Site include garage services (21m south).

Furthermore, the following waste sites were identified which may be able to impact upon the Site: this is associated with an Historical Landfill Site extending off site to the north. For further information please see the date.

Argyll's Comment

The historical and current use of the surrounding area is therefore considered to present a moderate to high risk of affecting the Site.

Pathways and receptors

With reference to Environment Agency data, the superficial hydrogeology underlying the Site is classified as a Principal Aquifer (highly permeable formations), and an Unproductive Stratum (deposits of negligible permeability). The bedrock hydrogeology is classified as an Unproductive Stratum (deposits of negligible permeability). In terms of the overlying soils, these are given a U (class U) vulnerability classification. According to information provided by the Environment Agency the Site does not lie within a groundwater Source Protection Zone (SPZ).There are fifteen abstraction licences located within 1000m. The closest of these is a groundwater abstraction point noted 42m west for general agriculture: spray irrigation. The nearest water feature (pond) is located on Site. In addition, Site users, buildings and services are considered sensitive receptors due to the potential for volatile gases and aggressive ground conditions in light of historic land uses. Residential properties are located adjacent to the south west. The general area appears to be largely in mixed commercial and residential use. The following designated eco-receptors were identified within 1000m: South West London Waterbodies (Ramsar Site and Special Protection Area) and Knight & Bessborough Reservoirs (Site of Special Scientific Interest) located 4m south east.

Argyll'sComment

Overall, the Site is therefore considered to have a high environmental sensitivity.

Other Environmental Hazards

RiskRecommendation

Infilled Land As the Site lies on or within 25m of potentially infilled land, you may wish to consult a local RICS accredited surveyor and/or review any available geotechnical surveys. Further information may be available from the minerals and waste officer at the County Council and the local Building Regulations Officer. British Geological Survey GeoHazard reports (www.bgs.ac.uk/georeports) may also provide more detailed information.

Telecommunication Base Stations

One or more telecommunication base stations are located within 100m of the Site (please refer to the Current Land Use map to determine specific locations). Telecommunications equipment emits electromagnetic fields which may have adverse health affects. Further information is available from www.hpa.org.uk and www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk.

COMAH No Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) sites are located within 500m.

Current Operations

Environmental Damage Regulations 2009 (EDR)

Potential for owner/operation to incur a Liability under the EDR

Argyll's Comment

The Site holds an environmental permit and/or is considered likely to be engaged in a Schedule 2 activity under the EDR. It would therefore be prudent to clarify whether site activities ensure that operations on the site are audited on a regular basis to minimise a release from the Site that could result in a liability under EDR.

Please refer to the risk analysis methodology section for further guidance and definition of terms.

Additional ConsiderationsItem

Summary Suggested ActionAsbestos If the buildings at the Site were constructed or renovated during the period

between 1950 and 1999, then the fabric of these buildings may contain asbestos in a variety of forms.

Check the Asbestos Register and Management Plan

Energy Performance Certificate

Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 and the Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2008, there is a requirement for all buildings to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) upon their construction, sale or lease (and in some cases when the building is modified).

Check for EPC or conduct energy assessment

Air Conditioning/ Refrigeration Equipment

Air conditioning and refrigeration equipment contains heat transfer fluid. This fluid may be an ozone depleting substance (ODS). Any fluid in a halon fire-extinguishing system is also a ODS.

Inspect maintenance records

Additional Information Sources

Additional sources of information in the form of previous environmental and other reports may be available for the Site.

Review supplementary reports

Sensitive Land Uses

If areas subject to statutory designations are located either on or in proximity to the Site, there may be land management implications or restrictions to planned developments. You are located within 500m of a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, a Ramsar Site, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Protection Area.

Contact local planning authority or speak with planning consultant

Change of UseRedevelopment

Proposed changes in land use require permission from the Local Authority and are subject to conditions as part of the statutory planning process.

Contact local planning authority or speak with planning consultant

Argyll's Comment

Whilst this assessment is primarily a desktop assessment of potential soil and groundwater liabilities, the above potential liability considerations that fall outside the scope of the Risk Analysis Methodology have been identified.

Additional sources of information may be available for the Site. These sources could include previous environmental reports (including audits, contaminated land investigation and remediation reports), valuation reports (including property observation checklists), a Land Quality Record, and property deeds. Argyll Environmental would be pleased to review any reports that are available and revise this report accordingly. This may entail additional fees depending upon the volume and complexity of information available. Please contact us for further information.

Page 11: SITESOLUTIONS Commercial - Vail Williams€¦ · SITESOLUTIONS Commercial Overall Opinion FURTHER ACTION Argyll's Overview Considering the information reviewed during this assessment,

Argyll has carefully selected a range of datasets which are considered appropriate for the intended use of this report. Each dataset is searched to a set radius from the

Site boundary and the tabular summary is divided into different search bands accordingly. If a database is searched and information is found, then the number of

records available are detailed in the table above. If the database was searched and no data was found, then a zero will be present. If a database was not searched

then the abbreviation N/A will be found, indicating this information was not available at the radius searched.

Landfill Site Information

Registered landfill site boundaries (where available), are shown on the map as a red diagonal hatched polygon and referred to in the map legend as Registered Landfill

Sites. At present no complete national dataset exists for landfill site boundaries, therefore a point grid reference provided by the data supplier is used for some landfill

sites. The point grid references supplied provide only an approximate position, and can vary from the site entrance to the centre of the site. A point cannot properly

define landfill boundaries therefore Landmark constructs a 250 metre or 100 metre "buffer" zone around the point to warn of the possible presence of landfill. The

"buffer" zone is shown on the map as an orange crosshatched area and is referred to in the map legend as Potential Landfill Buffer.

Local Authority landfill data is sourced from individual local authorities that were able to provide information on sites operating prior to the introduction of the Control of

Pollution Act (COPA) in 1974. Appropriate authorities are listed under Local Authority Landfill Coverage with an indication of whether or not they were able to make

landfill data available. Details of any records identified are disclosed. You should be aware that if the local authority had landfill data but passed it to the relevant

Environment Agency office, it does not necessarily mean that local authority landfill data is now included in our other Landfill datasets. In addition if no data has been

made available for all or part of the search area, you should be aware that a negative response under 'Local Authority Recorded Landfill Sites' does not necessarily

confirm that no local authority landfills exist.

Subsidence Hazards

Information on subsidence hazards is provided by the British Geological Survey (BGS). Information present within 250m of the Site is reported under Natural and

Mining Related Hazards. Due to the level of detail of this data and the complexities of the real world, the BGS recommends a precautionary approach when using

this information and advises taking the worst reading noted for each dataset within the vicinity of a property. Therefore, Argyll reports the presence of a ground

stability or non-coal related mining hazard in the Risk Analysis section based on the highest reading found within 50m of the Site boundary.

Risk Analysis MethodologyThe Site Solutions reports have been designed to assist in making informed decisions during property transactions. The Report is a desktop assessment of direct liabilities (Liabilities) which could affect the owner /occupier of the Site and arise under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and/or equivalent requirements under the planning regime and/or the Water Resources Act 19913. (Relevant Legislation). If a risk is identified, then a number of options for finding out more about the risk, managing it or transferring it are proposed.

The assessment of environmental liability under the Relevant Legislation is based upon the principle of determining the presence of a plausible contaminant-pathway-receptor relationship (a contaminant linkage). A ‘contaminant’ is a source of contamination, a ‘pathway’ is a medium through which the contamination can mobilise and ‘a receptor’ is a person or entity that could be detrimentally affected by the contamination. If all three are identified, then a 'plausible contaminant-pathway-receptor relationship' may be present. By definition, this is one which Argyll believes could result in significant harm, a significant possibility of significant harm or significant pollution or the possibility of significant pollution to Controlled Waters.

In our assessment we use the following test to decide if there is a potential liability affecting the Site. For the purpose of this assessment a site where a potential Liability has been identified is defined as follows:

A Site which, from the information assessed by Argyll, is considered to have the potential of being affected by contaminative substances present in or under the Site (but excluding potential sources of contamination on or above the land) such that, on the basis of its current or proposed use, there is a reasonable likelihood of a UK regulatory authority, acting in accordance with Relevant Legislation, requiring that remedial measures are taken in order to remedy or mitigate the contaminative substances that are present in or under the land that forms all or part of the Site.

The term Liabilities is defined within the scope of this assessment to mean, remedial works under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (or where appropriate, equivalent requirements under the planning regime) and/or the Water Resources Act 1991 which may result in direct liability for the site owner/occupier.

The assessment within the Report has been produced and quality checked by a team of qualified environmental professionals. The assessment is based upon a manual review of the data contained within the Data Section of this Report and of 1:2500 and 1:1250 (where available) scale historical mapping.

Ecological Risk AssessmentThe evaluation of ecological risk is becoming an increasingly important input when making risk management decisions. In the Site Solutions Commercial report, Argyll assesses two different drivers for risks and liabilities driven by ecological receptors;

1. The Contaminated Land Regime; and

2. The Environmental Damage Regulations 2009, as amended (EDR).

The Environment Agency has designed a generic framework for conducting ecological risk assessment (see Assessing Risk to Ecosystems from Land Contamination, R&D Technical Report P299, EA 2002). This recommends a tiered approach in line with best practice for human health and controlled water risk assessment and defines Relevant Ecological Receptors as any of the Relevant Types of Receptor as set out in Table 1 of Defra Statutory Guidance on Contaminated Land dated April 2012.

Argyll assesses Relevant Ecological Receptors as part of its assessment process. To do so it uses the Argyll EcoRisk model which was developed and tested in consultation with leading experts and is based on the Environment Agency framework.

The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009, as amended, were introduced on 1 March 2009 to implement the provisions of the European Union's Environmental Liability Directive into law in England4. The aim of EDR is to prevent and remedy damage to protected species or natural habitats or a site of special scientific interest, surface water, groundwater, coastal water or to land. 'Environmental damage' has a specific meaning in the Regulations, and must meet key criteria. Existing legislation with provisions for environmental

liability remains in place. The Regulations apply on land in England and on the seabed around the UK up to the limits set out in the Continental Shelf Act 1964, and to waters out to the Renewable Energy Zone, which extends approximately 200 miles out to sea.

Argyll will apply due consideration to the nature of any activities likely to be occurring on Site and review EDR Receptors surrounding the Site. However, Argyll are unable to consider the standard of current operations or instances where environmental damage arises either intentionally or as a result of negligence on behalf of the Site operator.

The assessment excludes the identification of potential liabilities arising as a result of genetically modified organisms and the transportation or delivery of polluting goods which may occur at locations off Site. In addition, not all EDR Receptors can be identified in this assessment including protected species/natural habitats such as nesting bats, nesting birds or migratory bird routes which are not officially designated.

When conducting either assessment, Argyll will primarily assess information provided in the Data section of the Report. However, in some cases Argyll may choose to supplement this with freely available public information such as that provided by Natural England and/or information provided by the Argyll Europa System.

Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (Wales) Regulations 2009, Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2009 or Environmental Liability (Scotland) Regulations 2009 where appropriate.

Liability AssessmentIn this section Argyll will report on any potential soil and groundwater liabilities which it considers are associated with the Site. Our assessment of Liability is based upon the proposed and current use of the Site(as supplied by the client)in line with current Government guidance.

There will be one of the following three responses:
