1.0 Introduction The existing public house property has three storeys, including a partial basement. It is proposed the existing building be demolished and replaced by a 13-storey building (plus basement, mezzanine floor levels and roof level access), with residential accommodation at levels 1 to 12, a public house at ground floor and mezzanine levels, a full basement level and a roof garden. The information contained in this note is based upon: - Lambeth Council’s pre-application advice letter dated 5/6/17 - Site visits - Gensler Architect’s drawings. - British Geological Survey Maps - Nicholas Barton’s book, The Lost Rivers of London - LCC Bomb Damage Maps, 1939-1945 - URS’ Lambeth’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment report, dated March 2013 - Arup’s Lambeth Residential Basement Study, Report of Findings, dated April 2016 - Soil Consultant’s Site Investigation Report, dated September 2018 - Scott White and Hookins’ Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy, dated April 2019 - K2 Consultancy Ltd’s Demolition & Construction Management Plan, dated June 2018. - RPS’ Tree Survey Report, dated August 2018. This report has been prepared for the benefit of the Client and others can take no reliance without written agreement from Michael Hadi Associates Ltd. For ease of reference, the relevant text from Lambeth Council’s pre-application advice letter of 5/6/17 under the heading ‘Basement Construction and Flooding’ is pasted below: Policy EN5 seeks to minimise the impact of flooding in the borough. Basement proposals shall incorporate appropriate mitigation measures to ensure the development is safe from all forms of flooding and does not increase flood risk elsewhere. Paragraph 9.33 of the Local Plan requires applications to demonstrate that the proposal would not cause harm to the built and natural environment and local amenity and would not result in flooding or ground instability. As a basement is proposed, a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) and a Basement Method Statement will be required with full application. The basement method statement, along with the FRA, must contain the following details: a) Detailed site specific analysis of hydrological and geotechnical local ground conditions; b) Analysis of how the excavation of the basement may impact on the water table and any ground
water, and whether water perched is present; c) Details of how flood risk, including risk from groundwater and surface water flooding has been
addressed in the design, including details of any proposed mitigation measures; d) Details of measures proposed to mitigate any risks in relation to land instability; e) Demonstration of how cumulative effects have been considered; f) A comprehensive non- technical summary document of the assessments provided and information
submitted against (a) to (e) of this condition.
2.0 The existing site and structure The property is located on Loughborough Road, with Featley Road at the rear of the site. We understand the public house was constructed during the 1960s and utilises load-bearing masonry walls with concrete ground and basement floors. The basement footprint is less than the footprint of the ground floor level over and the retaining walls are presumably formed from masonry. The existing site is relatively level with the pavement level at approximately 11m AOD, taken from Arena Property Services measured survey drawing. The London County Council (LCC) record WW2 bomb damage maps show the site having been hit by a V1 flying bomb and buildings on the site were damaged beyond repair (refer to appendix D of Soil Consultants’ report in Appendix B). Thames Water’s records do not show their sewers to be running under the site (see their records contained within Scott White and Hookins document in Appendix C).
17132 / Hero of Switzerland – Basement Method Statement 4
UK Power Networks records provided by the M&E engineer show some two high voltage cable running across the grassed area to the northwest of the site, however indicative CAT scan tracing and the viewing of inspection chamber locations suggested the cables do not immediately abut the site. A Wild Cherry tree approximately 9m high (ref. RPS’ Tree Survey Report) is located approximately 3m from the northwest corner of the site. RPS’ report this tree to be in poor condition and recommend it be removed.
3.0 Nearby Structures There are three buildings near the proposed basement. These are: 150-160 Loughborough Road (including 1-9 Featley Road) – approximately 2m away from the southwest corner of the site. Post WW2 construction of three storeys, presumably without a basement. Leicester House – approximately 10m away to the north of the site. Large residential building of eleven storeys above ground. 10 Featley Road – approximately 11m away to the southwest of the site. Large residential four storey building, presumably constructed within the last 20 years.
4.0 Proposed Development It is proposed the 13-storey tower be formed from reinforced concrete, utilising flat slabs supported on columns and core walls. The core walls provide the lateral stability to the superstructure. The proposed single storey basement is to be formed from perimeter contiguous piles and is to utilise a piled raft slab. The basement construction is discussed in detail in section 8 (d) and on the drawing in Appendix A.

5.0 (a) Detailed site-specific analysis of hydrological and geotechnical local ground conditions
Ground investigations were undertaken by Soil Consultants Ltd (SCL) and Appendix B contains relevant
extracts from their report dated September 2018. The full report can be provided upon request. The
team interpreting the site findings include a Chartered Geologist (CGeol) and a Chartered Civil Engineer
(MICE).
The geotechnical ground conditions are summarised in section 5.0 and the hydrological conditions in
Appendix E (written by a hydrogeologist) of SCL’s report.
The site investigations included a 12m deep borehole and trial pits. Made ground was found to a depth
of between 0.9m and 1.4m below ground level, over Taplow Gravel to a depth of 5.9m, over London
Clay. Ground water was encountered during drilling within the Taplow Gravel at a depth of 4.2m and
during subsequent monitoring at a depth of 3.95m in the standpipe.
British Geological Survey (BGS) records suggest the interface of the London Clay and the underlying
Lambeth Group is likely to be at a depth in excess of 25m below ground level.
Non-technical summary:
The geology determined during site investigation works was in line with the expected geology based on
published British Geological Survey records.
The ground water level was found to be at around a depth of 4m below ground level.
6.0 (b) Analysis of how the excavation of the basement may impact on the water table and any ground water, and whether water perched is present
The hydrogeological assessment contained in Appendix E of SCL’s report states ‘The gradient of the water table appears to be approximately northwards (towards the Thames) but the exact groundwater flow direction is unknown. Typically, if the system were to be modelled, and if the basement fully penetrated the sand and gravel aquifer, the rise in groundwater level might be expected to be no more than perhaps 0.4 m on the upstream edge. Since the proposed basement extends only a very small distance below the water table (relative to the full saturated thickness) this assumed rise will be a considerable over-estimate. There are no basements upstream of the proposed basement at the Hero of Switzerland. Hence, even if there was to be a change in groundwater level there is no basement to be affected. It is unfeasible to imagine that the groundwater level might rise above ground surface in these conditions (i.e. starting at around 4.0 m below ground).’
They conclude ‘There are no basements up hydraulic gradient from the basement so there is no risk to adjacent basements even if groundwater levels were to rise slightly as a result of basement construction.’
Non-technical summary:
The ground water level was found to be at around a depth of 4m below ground level and it is assumed
the water flows northwards towards the Thames. The basement construction may cause the local
upstream ground water level to rise, but no more than 0.4m.
Adjacent basements were not observed in the vicinity of the site and there is no risk of the potential small
elevation in local ground water level effecting neighbouring buildings.
17132 / Hero of Switzerland – Basement Method Statement 6
7.0 (c) Details of how flood risk, including risk from groundwater and surface water flooding has been addressed in the design, including details of any proposed mitigation measures
Flood risk has been assessed and addressed under Scott White and Hookins Flood Risk Assessment
and Drainage Strategy contained in Appendix C.
The site is located within the Environment Agency (EA) Flood Zone 1 defined as land assessed as having
a less than 1 in 1,000 annual probability of river or sea flooding (<0.1%) and is therefore considered to
be at low risk of flooding. No flood mitigation measures are deemed to be required.
Surface water runoff from the proposed roof and hard landscaped areas will be attenuated by the
provision of a cellular water storage crates located at the Loughborough Road side of the site, before
discharging into the existing combined sewer. There will be no overall increase in man-made
impermeable area and therefore the amount of surface water runoff will not be increased by the
development and no water will flow to ground directly.
Lambeth Council’s Surface Water Management Plan indicates that the site is not within a critical area
for surface water flooding.
Groundwater flooding has also been assessed by the hydrogeological assessment contained in
Appendix E of SCL’s report (in Appendix B) and stated there are no cited records of groundwater flooding
on or near to Loughborough Road.
Non-technical summary:
The site is located within an area considered to be at low risk of flooding (zone 1). No flood mitigation
measures are deemed to be required.
It is anticipated that the works will not increase the risk of surface water flooding. All surface water will
be discharged to the existing sewer, via underground attenuation storage tanks that will restrict the water
discharge to the sewer system during an extreme rainfall event.
The development of the site will not increase the area of impermeable surfaces and all surface water will
be discharged to the existing sewer, via underground attenuation storage tanks.
There are no cited records of groundwater flooding on or near to Loughborough Road.
8.0 (d) Details of measures proposed to mitigate any risks in relation to land instability
Geological and land stability issues have been assessed and addressed within section 7.0 of Soil
Consultant Ltd’s Report (Appendix B) using an impact assessment approach.
SCL state that the risk to ground stability from this development should be relatively low and that further
groundwater monitoring should be undertaken prior to construction to verify levels, particularly during
wet periods, as this may have an impact on the construction methodology. The expected peak elevation
of the ground water level during winter maybe around 0.3m above the summer level observed in the
standpipe. If the ground water level were found to be elevated before construction, then a secant piled
wall could be used for the basement perimeter to seal the excavation from water ingress (a cofferdam).
SCL conclude that for the proposed basement construction, it should be possible to design the
construction methods to ensure that ground movements do not adversely affect either adjacent
properties or infrastructure.
It is proposed that the basement structure be formed with a perimeter contiguous piled wall and a piled
raft slab. The formation level is expected to be at a depth of around 4m below ground level.
The head of the retaining wall is to remain propped at all times, to provide a rigid construction to keep
ground movements to an acceptable minimum. Temporary props and a reinforced concrete capping
beam waler are to be used during construction until the ground floor slab has been cast and is sufficiently
cured.
The depth of the existing foundations to 15-160 Loughborough Road are not know, but an appropriate
surcharge pressure is to be accommodated in the retaining wall and propping design. This property
does not immediately abut the site.
17132 / Hero of Switzerland – Basement Method Statement 7
A potential, appropriate and safe sequence of construction has been identified and is shown on MHA’s
drawing 10 in Appendix A. The final temporary works scheme will be developed by the chosen main
contractor. The text from the sequence is repeated below:
1. Carefully demolish the superstructure of the existing Public House, top-down and front
(Loughborough Road side) to back (Featley Road side). Contractor is to note the basement footprint
and take care to avoid high surcharges onto perimeter retaining walls. Suitable material can be
crushed and stored for use in the future piling mat.
2. Using suitably battered excavations, carefully demolish the retaining walls to the basement
perimeter and then remove the basement slab and grub-out foundations.
3. Partially infill or wholly infill basement excavation using demolition material (or suitably prop to
support ground floor construction). Form an appropriate piling mat for the chosen CFA rig, in
accordance with BRE470 ‘Working platforms for tracked plant’. The contractor may decide to infill
the basement excavation in sections, if they decide it is more economic to form the piling mat in
sections, rather than across the whole site (borrowing material from elsewhere but retaining an
appropriate batter to the perimeter). Or set-down at a slightly lower level the central part of the site
(again depending on the chosen piling rig and the slope it can safely travel down to reach the lower
level).
4. Install the perimeter contiguous piling. Following immediately behind the piling works form the
reinforced concrete perimeter (RC) capping beam.
5. Install sleeves and install the piling for the central part of the site, under the ‘core’ region (contractor
may elect to not sleeve and break- down the piles later).
6. Install full-width props (probably hydraulic) onto appropriate bearing spreader blocks set just below
the capping beam (so the props do not interfere with the construction of the ground floor slab).
7. Excavate to basement raft formation level. Material is to be removed via a suitable slope near the
front of the site.
8. Break-down central piles and construct basement raft slab. Raft slab is to be connected to the all
the perimeter contiguous piles.
9. Provide a reinforced concrete lining to the perimeter contiguous piled wall (to suit chosen water-
proofing strategy).
10. Construct reinforced concrete walls and columns to underside of ground floor slab.
11. Construct the ground floor slab.
12. Once sufficiently cured, remove the props.
13. Construct and complete the superstructure.
14. Excavate and construct the external rainwater attenuation tank and rainwater booster set at the front
of the building. Prior to this, this site area can be used for the storage of materials and for welfare
facilities (& possibly a tower crane).
Non-technical summary:
The risk to ground stability due to this proposed development should be low.
A safe and appropriate potential sequence of construction has been presented.
17132 / Hero of Switzerland – Basement Method Statement 8
9.0 (e) Demonstration of how cumulative effects have been considered
There are no known existing basements in the vicinity of the site, thus cumulative effects are deemed to
be insignificant.
In terms of groundwater flow, Arup’s Residential Basement Study, Report of Findings, dated April 2016,
for Lambeth states ‘A solitary, isolated basement which intersects the groundwater table is unlikely to affect the groundwater flows in the wider area: the water will simply flow around the obstruction. The effects on water level are likely to be small and less significant than seasonal or other existing variations in the groundwater table.’
The hydrogeological assessment in Appendix E of Soil Consultant Ltd’s report (contained in Appendix
B) states ‘Typically, if the system were to be modelled, and if the basement fully penetrated the sand and gravel aquifer, the rise in groundwater level might be expected to be no more than perhaps 0.4 m on the upstream edge. Since the proposed basement extends only a very small distance below the water table (relative to the full saturated thickness) this assumed rise will be a considerable over-estimate. There are no basements upstream of the proposed basement at the Hero of Switzerland. Hence, even if there was to be a change in groundwater level there is no basement to be affected.’
Non-technical summary:
The cumulative effects of multiple adjacent basements are not applicable, as there are no known
basements in the vicinity.
It should also be noted that an existing basement exists on the site, it is just being enlarged.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located along the south-western side of Loughborough Road and along the north-eastern side
of Featley Road in the London Borough of Lambeth, with its centre at approximate NGR 531690E 175955N,
and with overall dimensions of approximately 15m x 35m. To the south is an adjacent 3- storey apartment
building with small shops at ground level, and associated hardstanding. To the north, between the site
and an 11-storey apartment block, is a grassed open area. Other apartment buildings comprising the
Loughborough Estates, together with areas of landscaped open space are present to the west and east on
the site in the wider surrounding area.
About two thirds of the site is occupied by a single/part 2 storey public house building of traditional
construction (“The Hero of Switzerland”) which was still in use at the time of the investigation. This building
also has a single level part basement or cellar. The external north-eastern part of the site next to
Loughborough Road comprises an asphalt covered beer garden which is partly bounded by a high brick
wall, and a paved area along its western and northern boundaries. Another small open courtyard area,
surfaced with concrete, is present along the south-western side of the main building, with a double gate
opening on to Featley Road and containing a cellar access hatch.
The ground surface of the site is sensibly flat. The Arena Property Services Ltd (APS Ltd) topographic plan
and existing ground and basement floor plans, (Ref 18019-13-T and 18019-13-B-G and 18019 B- B
respectively) indicate ground levels to range from about +11mOD along the south-western side to about
+10.7mOD along the north-eastern side of the site. The floor of the public house is raised by about 0.3m
above external ground level and the basement is about 2.5m deep; this basement level is approximately
+9.0m OD. The survey plans are included in Appendix A.
A Lime tree (17m tall) and a Cherry tree (9m tall) are presently growing on land to the north of the site.
Other smaller trees are present to the east and south.
The current site features are shown on the Site Plan and on photographs taken at the time of our fieldwork
all of which are included in Appendix A (and on the front cover of this report).

3.0 PHASE 1 PRELIMINARY RISK ASSESSMENT (DESK STUDY)
This assessment is generally based upon current UK guidance, primarily the combined DEFRA/EA
publication CLR 11 (Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, 2004). The scope of
the assessment is as follows:
A review of historical and current land–use and potential contaminated land risks
Development of an outline conceptual model, identifying potential sources, pathways and receptors
Development of a strategy for Phase 2 intrusive investigation
3.1 Review of historical information
The following summary of the history of the site and surrounding area has been compiled from a series of
historical maps obtained from a commercially available database; these are included in Appendix B.
Historical development of site and surrounding area
Map date The site Significant development / features in
surrounding area
1870/1938 The site is mainly occupied by
a pair of semi-detached
residential properties and
associated gardens, on
Loughborough Road and just
N of Barrington Road which
trends to the SW.
The residential plots are
orientated in an approximate
E-W direction as opposed to
the current SW to NE
orientation.
The surrounding areas are developed with semi-
detached and terraced residential houses with
large rear gardens.
The earliest large-scale map of 1873-1874 shows a
public house is present about 25m N along
Loughborough Road. A Pump is shown about 40m
N along Loughborough Road and a standpipe about
55m S along Barrington Road.
E-W and N-S trending railway lines are present to
the E and S of the site. These lines intersect about
300m SE and with the nearest spur line (and
Loughborough Road station, later Loughborough
Junction) about 200m SE.
From 1894, nurseries are shown about 30m NW
and next to the public house previously noted
along Loughborough Road.
The 1916 edition shows the Head Quarters of the
6th London Brigade RFA Territorials to be present
some 90m E
The 1920 edition shows another nursey along the
E side of Loughborough Road about 300m N.
The maps in this series show a gradual increase in
the density of residential development.

Historical development of site and surrounding area
Map date The site Significant development / features in
surrounding area
1948 The site is shown as clear of
any development with all
traces of former houses now
absent. This absence may be
indicative of WW2 bomb
damage.
The immediate area around the junction of
Barrington Road and Loughborough Road is shown
as devoid of any structures which we attribute to
demolition following likely bomb damage in WW2
(see later discussion).
1950 - 1954 The site comprises gardens of
new houses constructed along
Barrington Road Gardens.
A Ruin (previously noted former public house) is
shown 20m to 25m N which is surrounded by
undeveloped open space. Similar open space is
shown to the S of Barrington Road Gardens and to
the SW of Angell Road.
New housing layouts are shown to the E and S.
Electricity substation is shown 170m E.
1958-1968 The site is again shown as
clear of any development with
the former houses along
Barrington Road Close now
absent.
Featley Road has been constructed and a block of
terraced houses is shown immediately to the S of
the site.
A new high-rise apartment building (Leicester
House) is shown about 10m N of the site. Other
similar tower blocks are shown to the N, W and S.
New terraced houses have been built along the NE
side of Loughborough Road.
Works identified 150m E of the site.
1973 to
present
The current site outline is
now present, with the
majority of the site occupied
by a public house building
and associated external
areas.
The surrounding areas have remained largely
unchanged and remain predominantly residential
in character.
An electricity substation is shown 30m S of the site
adjacent to a Child Health Centre (building
redeveloped in early 2000’s and substation not
currently observed from street).
Council Yard identified 100m E of the site.

3.3 Other information
Local Authority search
The London Borough of Lambeth hold a database of historical land uses which is not included in the
Groundsure database. A report was commissioned from Lambeth Council and this is incorporated as
Appendix C.
Their report concludes that their database search for the site and the surrounding area has found no records
of contamination. They also have no enforcement concerns relating to Part IIA of the Environmental
Protection Act 1990 and therefore do not intend to carry out any investigation under this legislation.
The report goes on to list various current and historical records for activities around the site. These are
broadly consistent with those outlined in the Groundsure review above.
Groundsure Unexploded Ordnance risk assessment reports
The preliminary Groundsure UXO threat assessment report (Ref SCL-5320271] noted a High Risk
classification for WWS2 related unexploded ordnance at the site. A subsequent review by RPS confirmed
a lower level ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) classification with an allowance for a UXO clearance
engineer to be on call and to attend site if any suspicious objects were discovered during intrusive works.
Both the Groundsure and RPS reports are included in Appendix D.

3.4 Walk-over survey
A site walk-over survey was undertaken on 23rd August 2018. A description of the general features of the
site and the topography is provided in Section 2.0 above. From inspection of visible and accessible areas,
a summary of specific features relevant to the land quality assessment is as follows:
Feature
Commentary
Electricity substations and
transformers
None identified in proximity to site although the desk study review has noted a
substation 28m S
Fuel storage tanks None on site
Fuel interceptors None on site
General chemical
storage/waste
None noted in external areas
Storage contained in basement/cellar consistent with existing site usage as public
house
Invasive species None noted
Evidence of gas protection None noted
Surface water
contamination
No surface water present
Waste storage Site is reasonably tidy and in use as Public house
ACMs None noted but may be present in rooting/flooring and as lagging around pipes in
basement
Anecdotal information During fieldwork the pub landlord informed that the cellar has been known to
slightly flood in the past, though this flooding did not wholly coincide with
increased rainfall.
3.5 Potential pollution linkages and Initial Conceptual Site Model
The information in the preceding sections has been used to undertake the Preliminary Risk Assessment and
to compile the Initial Site Conceptual Model below. The assessment follows as risk-based approach, with
the potential risks determined qualitatively using the ‘source-pathway-receptor’ linkage concept; a risk of
harm may only exist where a plausible linkage is present. The assessment has been formulated based on
the following table:
Consequences
Severe Medium Mild Minor
Pro
bab
ilit
y
High likelihood Very high risk
High risk Moderate risk Moderate/low risk
Likely High risk
Moderate risk Moderate/low risk Low risk
Low likelihood Moderate risk
Moderate/low risk Low risk Very low risk
Unlikely Moderate/low risk
Low risk Very low risk Very low risk
10281/KOG/OT Site Investigation Report – Hero of Switzerland, 142 Loughborough Road, London SW9 7LL Page 9
UDN Properties Ltd Michael Hadi Associates Ltd
25st September 2018 (Rev 0)
Definitions of the risks are summarised as follows:
Very high: high probability that severe harm could occur, or there is evidence that it is currently
occurring. If realised, the risk could result in substantial liability. Urgent investigation/remediation
High: harm is likely to occur, realisation is likely to present substantial liability. Urgent
investigation required. Remedial works may be required in short-term, will be in long-term
Moderate: possible that harm could arise, but unlikely to be severe. Investigation normally
required to clarify risk and liability. Remedial works may be necessary in long-term
Low: possible that harm could occur, but this would at worst be mild
Very low: low possibility of harm, unlikely to be severe
The assessment has been carried out by identifying and evaluating the potential sources of contamination,
the potential receptors and the plausible pathways for contamination migration are summarised as follows:
Potential sources of contamination
Potential Source
Element/Compound potential
On site
Building built pre-2000 Asbestos
Made ground
Commercial public house usage
Hydrocarbons (TPH, PAH)
Heavy metals/semi metals
Inorganic or organic chemicals
Ground gas and VOCs
Off site
No significant potential sources identified
apart from historical record of nearby
substation
No significant risk of cross contamination
identified apart from possible relict PCB
contamination
Potential receptors
In the context of the proposed development, the following potential receptors have been identified:
Human health: inhabitants/users of building, construction workers, adjacent site users
Controlled waters: Secondary aquifer of the Taplow Gravel underlain by Unproductive London Clay.
The site is not located within a source protection zone and there are no relevant surface or
groundwater within a relevant distance of the site. The site is assessed as being of Low to
medium environmental sensitivity
Building fabric and services: buried foundations, basement wall, potable water pipes

Plausible pathways
Ingestion of soil, dust or water
Inhalation of dust, gas or vapours
Direct physical contact with contaminated soil/water
Vertical and lateral migration of contamination including leaching
Chemical attack of building infrastructure, including water supply pipes
Migration of ground gas/vapour through permeable soils or open pathways
The Initial Conceptual Site Model and an estimate of the risk associated with each potential linkage is shown
in the following table:
Source Pathway Receptor Assessed risk and commentary/justification
On-site:
contaminated soil
Ingestion, contact,
inhalation
End user,
construction
workers and
infrastructure
Low risk: no significant historical potential sources
identified on site and currently, the main potential source
is the anticipated made ground layer. Proposed basement
will remove bulk of made ground with hardstanding
proposed over remaining new beer garden so potential for
direct contact would be eliminated
Leaching from
contaminated soils
and migration in
groundwater
Aquifer and
surface water
Low risk: basement will remove bulk of made ground and
proposed scheme envisages 100% hard cover eliminating
any water infiltration. High permeability secondary
aquifer present above relatively impermeable London Clay
which would provide barrier above any deeper chalk
aquifer
Off-site:
contaminated soil
Lateral migration of
contaminants to site
in groundwater
End user
Low risk: main identified off-site sources are historical
commercial/industrial activities in the general area (none
identified in immediate vicinity of the site); however,
these were largely redeveloped into residential use
following WW2. Historical record of substation nearby.
On-site and off-
site: ground gas
and vapours
Lateral and vertical
migration of
gas/vapour
End-user and
buildings
Low risk: no significant potential gas/vapour sources
identified. The site is not in a radon affected area
The overall risk rating for the site is assessed as being Low to moderate.

3.6 Recommendations for intrusive investigation
The Initial Conceptual Site Model identified potential pollution linkages resulting in the overall assessed risk
rating of moderate. The following programme of intrusive investigation is recommended:
Suitable intrusive investigation to confirm the ground sequence, allow soil sampling and the
installation of monitoring pipes
No specific contamination sources were identified by the PRA so the investigation should provide
general suite of analysis with possible targeted PCB analysis in area closest to the location of the
substation noted in desk study review to the south of the site
Soil samples should be recovered where relevant and be analysed for a range of general
contaminants to include petroleum hydrocarbons, PAHs and asbestos screening
Groundwater and gas monitoring
The Initial Conceptual Site Model should then be revised to include complete pollution linkages and outline
mitigation/remedial measures should be identified, together with any requirements for additional
investigation.

4.0 EXPLORATORY WORK AND LABORATORY TESTING
The scope of the initial phase of ground investigation was devised by the structural engineer, and it was
carried out on 23rd August 2018. At this time only a limited area was available for investigation due to the
continued commercial operation of the public house; a further deep borehole is proposed at a later stage
to provide full pile design information. The investigation comprised the following elements.
4.1 Rotary auger borehole
A single borehole was carried out in the beer garden area using a tracked auger equipment under the
supervision of an experienced engineer. In-situ testing was carried out at appropriate intervals and
representative samples, both disturbed and relatively undisturbed U100s were taken for geotechnical and
environmental testing. PID headspace testing was also carried out. The borehole was taken to 12m depth
and a monitoring pipe was installed in the borehole to 6m depth upon completion. The hammer Energy
Ratio (Er) for the equipment used was 78%; the relevant test certificate is appended.
4.2 Trial pits
Two trial pits were undertaken using hand tools. TP1 which was positioned in the existing basement was
terminated when groundwater inflow occurred at shallow depth. TP2 was excavated along the
external/northern side of the pubic house.
4.3 Groundwater and gas monitoring
Water and gas monitoring was carried out on one occasion following completion of the site works on 4th
September 2018.
4.4 Geotechnical laboratory testing
The following geotechnical laboratory testing was completed:
Index properties tests (Atterberg Limits)
Particle size distribution tests
Unconsolidated, undrained triaxial tests
4.5 Chemical and contamination testing
Selected soil samples were delivered to a specialist laboratory (DETS Ltd) and the following testing was
carried out:
General soil suite - 3no samples
Asbestos screening - 3no samples
Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) - 1no sample
Soluble sulphate/sulphur/pH analyses - 8no samples
The engineering borehole and trial pit logs and the laboratory testing results are included in Appendix A

5.0 GROUND CONDITIONS
Published BGS information (1:50,000 and 1:10,000 scale maps) indicates that the site is underlain by the
Taplow Gravel which rests upon the London Clay Formation. There are no deep BGS registered boreholes
nearby, however, our research indicates that the interface of the London Clay and the underlying Lambeth
Group is likely to be in excess of 25m depth. The sequence confirmed by our investigation is summarised
as follows with detailed strata descriptions presented on the borehole record in Appendix A.
5.1 Made ground
At BH1, below a surface layer of asphalt and in TP2 below a surface layer of topsoil, made ground extended
to depths of 0.90m and 1.40m respectively, and comprised a mottled grey and brown gravel with a sandy
and silty matrix. The gravel comprised a mixture of brick and concrete rubble and occasional slate
fragments.
5.2 Taplow Gravel
The natural Taplow Gravel was met beneath the made ground and extended to a depth of 5.90m below
ground level (bgl), about +5.2mOD. Initially, this deposit occurs as a firm orange brown slightly gravelly
sandy clayey silt extending to about 1.85m depth. The result of an SPT test within this layer indicates a
medium strength classification and Atterberg limits testing indicates this cohesive layer to correspond to a
low plasticity silt (BS) with a PI value of 4%. The modified PI value [to take account of the proportion of
fines present} indicates this soil to be effectively non-shrinkable according to the NHBC guidance.
Below the initial clayey layer, a sequence of orange brown and brown variously clayey, silty and sandy
gravel or gravelly sand was met. The particle size analyses confirm between 23% and 51% gravel content,
23% to 36% sand content, 7% and 24% silt content and 11% and 17% clay content.
The results SPT testing indicate the sand and gravel to initially be in a medium state of compaction to about
2.50m (SPT ‘N’ value of 22), below which the soils occur in a very dense state (‘N’ values>50).
5.3 London Clay Formation
The London Clay was met at a depth of 5.90m with a thin brown weathered upper layer to 6.20m depth,
below which this grey fissured clay was present. Occasional silt partings were noted within the clay.
Laboratory triaxial testing and SPTs indicate the London Clay to be of a high strength - the measured
strength profile in included in Appendix A. This formation extended to the base of the borehole at 12m
depth (-0.90mOD).
Atterberg limits tests indicate the London Clay to correspond to a very high plasticity (BS) clay with PI
values ranging between 49% and 56% which corresponds to a high volume change potential in accordance
with the NHBC guidance.

25st September 2018 (Rev 0)
5.4 Groundwater
In BH1, groundwater was encountered during drilling within the Taplow Gravel at about 4.2m depth, and
a rest level of 3.95m was measured during subsequent monitoring of the standpipe. A water inflow met
during the shallow excavation from basement level of TP1, we attribute to the local occurrence of trapped
water directly below the slab.
Groundwater levels can of course vary seasonally and with prevailing weather conditions.
5.5 Existing foundations
A detailed record of the trial pit is included in Appendix A. A summary of the findings of the internal trial
pits is as follows:
TP ref Location Foundation details
TP1 Basement of existing public house Slab estimated at 300mm to 400mm thick by pilot drilling. Water seepage at 0.05m. Pit not completed
TP 2 Wall along northern side of public house Masonry wall extends to 0.75m depth. Concrete footing underside possibly at 1.40m in dense
gravel (unable to fully confirm depth due to services)
5.6 Environmental observations
No obvious olfactory or visual signs of soil or groundwater contamination were encountered in the
boreholes. PID headspace testing (for VOC concentrations) has been undertaken and no elevated levels
were noted.

6.0 GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed works at this site include demolition of the existing structures and the construction of a new
14 storey tower building covering the central and south-western part of the site. The building will have a
full footprint single level basement. The Gensler proposed building section drawing (Ref 08.7369.000.
A1.300 dated 10 October 2016) indicates a basement FFL of about 3.5m below ground level to
accommodate plant equipment, and the ground floor will be partly occupied by a new pubic
house/restaurant and substation.
Details of the anticipated column loads were available at the time of compiling this report but we understand
that the total weight of the new building is likely to be about 75MN with an equivalent uniformly distributed pressure of around 230KN/m2. The Engineer’s current foundation options include either a raft foundation
with bored piles under the stabilising central core, or a fully piled solution. The basement retaining walls
may either be formed by a piled wall or alternatively by reinforced concrete walls connected to the raft
foundation.
Further exploratory work to greater depths is currently envisaged to provide full appropriate design
parameters, however, some preliminary conclusions can be drawn from the initial investigation undertaken.
Our investigation has revealed that made ground is present to about 1.5m depth overlying the competent
natural Taplow Gravel which rests upon the London Clay Formation at about 6m depth. Groundwater is
present close to the proposed basement formation level, which may rise above this level during wetter
periods. Both the combined raft/piled option and the fully piled option could be considered to support the
new structure. From the history of the site, buried obstructions may be present and thus obstructions in
the ground should also be anticipated.
6.1 Basement excavation and retaining wall
Below any surface layers of made ground the excavation for the proposed basement is expected to be
wholly within the Taplow Gravel. Groundwater is present in the gravel and based on the monitoring to
date is likely to occur at or immediately below the proposed basement formation (after allowing for the
floor slab construction thickness). Based on this water level either of the proposed options (ie, a reinforced
concrete retaining wall or contiguous piled wall) could be appropriate. The level of the groundwater will
clearly be critical and higher groundwater levels would be anticipated during the winter months. Before
the design is finalised, further investigation and groundwater monitoring must be undertaken to confirm
the worst case water levels, and if these are above the proposed excavation level, a water tight system
such as a secant piled wall design could be required. Whichever method is adopted a robust arrangement
of temporary internal bracings/props, including support elements near the top of the basement wall, will
be required to maintain wall stability and assist in controlling ground movements during construction.
Careful selection of the appropriate design parameters will be needed, incorporating allowances for factors
such as the presence of groundwater and the possibility of soil softening. The following table of coefficients
may be used for the preliminary design of the basement retaining wall:

Eurocode 7 stipulates that partial material factors must be applied to the best estimates of geotechnical
soil properties during the design stage. The design engineer must ensure that the correct comparisons are
made between Design Actions and Design Resistances after the application of appropriate partial factors.
The determination of appropriate earth pressure coefficients and the pattern of earth pressure distribution
should be carried out by the geotechnical designer; these will depend upon the type/geometry of the wall
and the overall design approach. If a piled perimeter wall is adopted then these piles may of course also
be used to provide vertical load capacity subject to the necessary allowance being made for interaction
effects. We recommend that a specialist contractor is consulted to confirm the most appropriate type of
wall and to provide the final wall design.
6.2 Piled foundations
The final design of piled foundations will need to be informed with data from greater depths than that
currently achieved. For the ground conditions encountered to date, with groundwater being present within
the Taplow Gravel and likely present as minor inflows within the deeper lying London Clay/Lambeth Group,
we consider that CFA piles will present the optimum type.
If piles need to be extended into the Lambeth Group strata then some modification of the pile parameters
or downgrading of the pile capacities may be warranted to mitigate the possible risk of clay softening,
although this should be minimal with well-installed CFA piles. In this situation consideration could be given
to designing the piles to achieve the required capacity wholly within the more uniform London Clay.
A piling specialist must be consulted at an early stage to advise on the most appropriate pile type and to
ultimately provide the final pile design. This should address issues such as the potential clay softening and
the relative performance of the probable clay and sand layers within the Lambeth Group. If pile testing is
undertaken it will be possible to apply lower partial factors, resulting in increased pile resistances, however,
this may not be economical given the relatively small scale of this project.

6.3 Basement slab [non-raft] and heave
If a fully piled foundation is to be adopted to support he structural loads, then a conventional basement
floor slab will be constructed. The basement excavation will involve the removal of up to 4m [allowing for
basement slab thickness) of soil below the proposed building footprint, resulting in unloading of about
80kPa. This stress reduction will theoretically result in an element of heave in the London Clay.
The potential long-term effect of this heave in the London Clay as it recovers should be considered during
slab design. The slab could be designed as a fully suspended structure, supported on the main foundations,
and incorporating an effective void beneath to accommodate future heave movement. Assuming a worst-
case situation of the maximum reduction in overburden (up to say 4m) over the maximum basement area
(14m x 20m), preliminary analysis indicates that a total unrestrained heave of between about 20mm to
30mm could occur as a result of the unloading. Approximately 50% of this heave movement is likely to
occur during a typical construction programme, leaving a maximum possible post-construction heave of
10mm to 15mm to be accommodated.
In reality the amount of heave will also be affected by other factors such as the fact that a basement
already exists to about 2.5m depth over part of the site, therefore some unloading of the London Clay
would already have occurred in this area. Also the length of the construction programme and the
restraining effect of the basement slab stiffness and not least the presence of the remaining Taplow Gravel
below the basement slab can all have significant impacts.
The alternative to a fully suspended voided slab would be to use a ground bearing slab which is designed
to withstand potential heave forces/movements. If it is (reasonably) assumed that the relationship
between heave movement and pressure is linear, the maximum heave pressure for an infinitely stiff slab
could therefore be about 35kPa for the fully constrained condition. However, this will not occur in reality
and the heave pressure beneath a more flexible slab will clearly be less (due stress dissipation as the slab
deflects); we anticipate that an ‘average’ stiffness slab would experience heave pressures of the order of
15kPa with heave movements of <10mm.
It will be necessary to consider uplift of the slab due to potential hydrostatic pressures and in this respect
the guidelines incorporated in BS8102:2009 should be followed. The slab design will need to take account
of potential seasonal fluctuations and/or accidental and flood conditions. We recommend that a design
water level at 1m depth below current ground level is adopted for preliminary purposes and this would
result in a hydrostatic uplift pressure of about 25kPa on the basement slab; this design water level may
need to be agreed with the local building control.
6.4 Basement raft foundation
If the layout and configuration of the new loads permit, a reinforced concrete basement raft could be
considered (subject to acceptable stresses/settlements). This would be a significantly more robust
structure than the basement slab and would be designed to effectively distribute the loads over the whole
new basement footprint.

UDN Properties Ltd Michael Hadi Associates Ltd
25st September 2018 (Rev 0)
Initial calculations indicate at the design pressure the raft foundation would experience a total settlement
of up between 100mm and 150mm. This settlement is likely to be excessive and it is considered that a
hybrid piled-raft foundation will be required to control settlements. The number and configuration of the
piles would be need to be determined following further investigation and finalisation of the loads. A detailed
Ground Movement Analysis (GMA) will probably be required to address potential settlements in detail,
particularly along the site boundaries and to determine soil/structure interactions for the piled raft structural
design.
6.5 Foundation concrete
Low concentrations of water soluble sulphates (2:1 water/soil extract) were measured in selected soil
samples, with slightly alkaline pH values. The results fall into Site Design Class DS-1 of Table C2 given in
BRE Special Digest 1 (2005). We assess the site as having ‘mobile’ groundwater and this would result in
an ACEC Site Class of AC-1.
Consideration should also be given to the potential oxidation of pyritic soils. Following the procedure
recommended in the BRE digest, the amount of oxidisable sulphides is seen to be >0.3% in two of the
samples of London Clay, suggesting that pyrite is probably present. The characteristic value of Total
Potential Sulphate is 1.05%, which equates to Class DS-3 with a resultant classification of ACEC AC-3. If
it is deemed unlikely that the piles and basement raft/slab will be exposed to disturbed ground which might
be vulnerable to oxidation, this more onerous classification may not be required; this must be determined
by the pile/raft designer who should provide the final classification.

7.0 BASEMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT – LAND STABILITY
This section of the report assesses the potential impact relating to the proposed subterranean development
in terms of ‘Land Stability’ as required by Lambeth Council’s ‘Basement Development SPD’, October 2017.
This guidance requires the impacts of the proposed development to be adequately considered using
appropriate professional expertise, and that the structural stability of neighbouring buildings and
infrastructure will not be put at risk.
The hydrological/hydrogeological aspects of the basement impact assessment have been assessed
separately by a specialist hydrogeologist (Stephen Buss – Environmental Consulting Ltd), which is attached
as Appendix E.
7.1 Stage 1 - screening
The proposed development involves the replacement of the existing public house with a multi-storey
apartment building. The new building will have single level basement extended beneath the whole footprint
which will require some deepening below the existing part basement. The ground investigation reported
above provides site-specific information on the ground and groundwater conditions at this site to allow an
informed assessment to be made.
The following section addresses the key geological/land stability issues upon which the construction method
statement (usually reported by the project Structural Engineer) needs to be based.
The purpose of the screening stage is to determine whether a full Basement Impact Assessment is required.
In the absence of specific questions raised in the Lambeth Council document, we have based our
assessment on Camden Council’s comprehensive CPG4 which provides flowcharts for this purpose,
identifying a series of questions. An answer of ‘Yes’ or ‘Unknown’ will require progression to Stage 2 of the
CPG4 categories. Answers of ‘No’ indicate that no further investigation is generally required - these answers
require written justification. The purpose of this section is to present the screening stage for the Land
Stability discipline as follow;

Responses of note are as follows:
Question 7 (Shrink/swell) is answered ‘Not as far as known’.
We are not aware of any insurance claims at the neighbouring properties but the shrink/swell risk is
considered very low for this site based on the lack of current observed significant vegetation and the
presence of non-shrinkable soils to 5.9m depth on site. The database of insurance claims in this regard
should be consulted to verify this assumption
Question 10 is answered ‘Yes’. A groundwater inflow as also noted during the exaction of TP1 at about
2.14m depth on 23rd August 2018, which is within the depth of the proposed basement excavation but
may be indicative of trapped water below the existing basement slab. We consider a more reliable
indicator of the groundwater level would be that measured in BH1 at a depth of 3.95m, on 4th
September 2018 which would be just at or just below the likely basement formation. In any event
the potential for seasonal fluctuations in groundwater conditions indicates that further investigation
and monitoring is recommended.
Question 11 (is the site within 5m of a highway or pedestrian right of way?) is answered ‘Yes’: this is
considered further in the following stages.
Question 12 (Will the proposed basement significantly increase the differential depth of foundations
relative to neighbouring properties?) is answered ‘Unknown’: There are however no neighbouring
buildings immediately adjacent to the site and the risk of the proposed construction significantly
affecting neighbouring buildings is considered to be low.
7.2 Stage 2 – scoping
The purpose of the Scoping Stage is to assess the potential impacts of the proposed scheme that Stage 1
has indicated require further consideration.
As identified above, the slopes within influential distance of the site are all shallow (<7°) and no significant
impact is anticipated on sloping ground in terms of land stability.
Groundwater conditions may be subject to seasonal variations and may be a significant construction issue
(Question 10) as seepages were noted at existing basement level in the investigation and the main water
level within the Taplow Gravel may be at or very close to the basement excavation formation. Additional
monitoring will be required to verify seasonal variation. If water levels rise above basement level then the
construction methodology will have to be re-assessed. Any groundwater control should utilise screened

pumps to prevent loss of fines. The hydrology/hydrogeology aspects are further discussed by Stephen
Buss Environmental Consulting Ltd (see Appendix E and Section 7.4 below).
With regard to the proximity of a highway or pedestrian right of way (Question 11), whilst Loughborough
Road is located north-east of the site, the basement excavation will be set back from this thoroughfare by
the retention of a ground level hardstanding area. To the south-west the basement would be immediately
adjacent to Featley Road. A pedestrian area and car park are also present along the south-eastern side.
A carefully-designed and constructed retaining structure will ensure that no adverse effects occur due to
the construction; the movement expected from a properly constructed and supported wall should be very
small.
There are no party walls to the proposed basement however an assessment of the effect on the differential
depth of foundations for adjacent properties within the zone of influence of the basement should be
undertaken (Question 12).
7.3 Stage 3 – site investigation
A preliminary ground investigation has been conducted by SCL at the site in order to provide information
on ground/groundwater conditions and so allow the Stage 4 (Impact Assessment) to be conducted.
7.4 Stage 4 – impact assessment
The purpose of Stage 4 is to assess the potential impacts of the proposed scheme that the preceding stages
have indicated require further consideration. These are summarised below

Assessed Impact Mitigation measures required and further notes
Ground movement/

Exposure in excavation

Both made ground and natural Taplow Gravel are expected
to be present within the excavation depth and the latter stratum should form the bearing soil for any new foundations. Settlements/ground movements should be
assessed based on the results from the ground investigation already conducted and any future investigations

Groundwater
Question 10
Unlikely impact subject
to further monitoring
The current investigation indicates that groundwater may
be subject to seasonal variation and there may be periods
when groundwater is within the proposed basement
excavation depth.
The hydrology BIA by SBEC indicates that winter levels may
peak about 0.3m above summer levels, however, should
future monitoring indicate a significant rise in groundwater
level, above the proposed basement excavation, then the
construction methodology will have to be re-assessed and a
water-tight embedded piled solution (such as a secant wall)
will likely have to be considered. In this scenario, pumping
will be required as part of the construction process,
following installation of the retaining wall
Ground Stability
Questions 11 & 12
Likely impact A retaining wall will be required to form the new basement.
This work must be undertaken following careful design and
construction methods that provide both short- and long-
term support to neighbouring land and minimise any ground
movements
Initial and final condition surveys should be undertaken for the neighbouring buildings; monitoring to be undertaken during construction and a plan of action to be instigated in
response to any departures from appropriately set limits
7.5 Conclusions
From the available information, we consider that the risk to ground stability from this development should
be relatively low. Most ground movement problems occur due to construction issues thus the works must
be undertaken by reputable experienced specialists and the temporary and permanent works are
adequately designed, with due consideration to the geology and hydrogeology of the site and surrounding
areas. Further groundwater monitoring will need to be undertaken prior to construction to verify levels,
particularly during wet periods, as this may have a significant impact on the construction methodology.
We conclude that for the proposed basement construction, it should be possible to design the construction
methods to ensure that ground movements do not adversely affect either adjacent properties or
infrastructure. A ground movement analysis should be undertaken to quantify the degree and extent of
movement anticipated.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
This appraisal is generally based on the DEFRA/EA publication CLR 11 (Model Procedures for the
Management of Contaminated Land, 2004), adopting current UK practice which uses the
Source-Pathway-Receptor methodology to assess contamination risks. For a site to be designated as
contaminated a plausible linkage between any identified sources and receptors must be identified, ie
whether significant pollution linkages (SPLs) are present. In considering the potential for contamination to
cause a significant effect, the extent and nature of the potential source are assessed and
pathways/receptors identified; without an SPL there is theoretically no risk to the receptors from
contamination. The assessed risks to the various potential receptors are summarised in the tabulated
Conceptual Site Model which forms Section 8.6 of this report.
8.1 Environmental setting and context
The Site is underlain by the Taplow Gravel which has a Superficial Aquifer Designation of ‘Secondary
Aquifer – A’. The underlying London Clay has an ‘Unproductive’ Bedrock Aquifer Designation. The site
does not lie within a Source Protection Zone and there are no surface water features nearby. Environment
Agency records indicate that the nearest water abstraction point is about 650m distant.
The site is assessed as being of Low to Moderate Environmental Sensitivity.
8.2 Contamination sources and testing
The Preliminary Risk Assessment presented in Section 3.5 identified the following potential contaminative
sources:
Potential Source
Element/Compound potential
On site
Building built pre-2000 Asbestos
Made ground
Commercial public house usage
Hydrocarbons (TPH, PAH)
Heavy metals/semi metals
Inorganic or organic chemicals
Ground gas and VOCs
Off site
No significant potential sources identified
apart from historical record of nearby
substation
No significant risk of cross contamination
identified apart from possible relict PCB
contamination
Laboratory testing of three soil samples has been carried out at this stage from BH1 & TP2 to identify
whether contamination is present. The analysis was for a general range of contaminants to determine the
presence of any contamination within the made ground and top of natural soil. Possible relict PCB
contamination related to the substation noted to the south of the site will need to be addressed by further
investigation once closer access on site is available.

UDN Properties Ltd Michael Hadi Associates Ltd
25st September 2018 (Rev 0)
The results have been assessed where relevant against the DEFRA Soil Guideline Values (SGV) and
Category 4 Screening Levels (C4SLs), together with the LQM/CIEH Suitable 4 Use Level (S4UL) for Human
Health Risk Assessment in which Generic Assessment Criteria (GACs) have been derived from the current
CLEA Model (2nd Edition, 2009). For Extractable/Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, the results have been
compared with the frequently used EA remedial target of 1,000mg/kg. The contamination testing was
carried out specifically for the purpose of providing a general guidance evaluation for the proposed
development. Reference should be made to the foreword to the appended contamination test results in
order to fully understand the context in which this discussion should be viewed.
The redevelopment will include 100% of hard cover by the new building/basement and external (beer
garden) area. We have used, where relevant, the trigger levels for a residential without home grown
produce development to assess the results of the contamination testing.
Using these criteria the following results are of note:
Lead: elevated concentrations of lead of 543mg/kg and 378mg/kg were measured in both of
the samples of made ground tested in BH1 and TP2 at 0.50m depth, when compared to the
C4SL threshold level of 310mg/kg. We note that these results were below the BGS published
‘Normal background concentrations of contaminants in England’ of 820mg/kg
Petroleum hydrocarbons: generally low in all samples
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH): all below relevant thresholds
Asbestos: not detected in any samples
Notwithstanding these test results, the proposed scheme does not involve any effective change in usage
and thus end user contact with soil is expected to be negligible If the scheme is amended to include new
landscaped areas then we recommend that a layer of certified clean imported topsoil is placed to create a
capping layer and hence a barrier between end users and the made ground.
The implications of these results are addressed in the revised Conceptual Site Model below.
Although Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) were neither observed on site nor identified in the samples
examined, we note that buildings (especially those constructed before 2000) are a potential source of ACM.
Furthermore, any made ground, construction or demolition materials on site may also contain ACM. These
matters should be addressed in the Pe-construction H&S plan prior to any demolition or earthworks.
8.3 Ground gas/vapour monitoring
No specific gas generating uses/risks were identified by the PRA, but with ‘made ground’ being identified
as a possible source. Gas monitoring was undertaken on a single occasion following completion of the
borehole. No elevated levels of methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulphide were
measured. PID readings in the borehole installations were generally <1ppm, with one measurement of
2.1ppm in BH1 on the monitoring visit. On the basis of these results, we consider that Characteristic
10281/KOG/OT Site Investigation Report – Hero of Switzerland, 142 Loughborough Road, London SW9 7LL Page 26
UDN Properties Ltd Michael Hadi Associates Ltd
25st September 2018 (Rev 0)
Situation 1 (very low risk) is appropriate (as described in CIRIA C665 “Assessing risks posed by hazardous
ground gases to buildings”, 2007) and this suggests that no gas protection measures will be required; this
should be re-assessed following any further monitoring.
8.4 Disposal of excavated soils
A rigorous hazard assessment of the results was not within the scope of our investigation, but our
preliminary conclusion from the contamination and WAC testing (where antimony was slightly elevated) is
that the made ground will probably classify as ‘non-hazardous industrial waste’ with an ‘inert’ classification
for natural soils. The localised elevated lead/PAH/antimony levels may, however, result in a more onerous
classification and early consultations should be made with appropriate waste facilities or regulators to
confirm the off-site disposal requirements.
8.5 Unexploded ordnance risks
As discussed in Section 3.3, a preliminary UXO assessment has been carried out (Ref SCL–532073) and
this identified the site to be in a high-risk area. On further research (see RPS email Appendix D) this
classification has been downgraded to an ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) classification. A
specialist EOD engineer was therefore not required during our fieldwork but should be on call if further
intrusive work is carried out. The preliminary UXO risk report is included in Appendix D.

8.6 Refined Conceptual Site Model
Taking into account the above discussion, the assessed risks to potential receptors identified in the PRA
are summarised in the refined Conceptual Site Model (CSM) below. This includes recommendations for
appropriate mitigation measures to render any SPLs inactive and reduce the risks to receptors to acceptable
levels:

to acceptable levels
On site:

Elevated concentrations of lead detected in the made ground.
The near-surface soils were free from visual/olfactory evidence
of volatile compounds/vapours; this was corroborated by
analysis (TPH, PID readings). The SPL to human health will be
inactive.
Made ground will be removed from proposed building footprint
during basement excavation. Beer garden at NE side of site will
remain as hardstanding. The SPL to human health will be
significantly reduced or rendered inactive. If scheme is amended
to include landscaped areas, then all made ground must be
removed, say to 0.60m depth, and replaced with certified clean
imported topsoil with a geofabric separator. The source and
pathway will be removed so the SPL to human health will then
be inactive.
A careful watching brief should be kept during construction and if
obvious or suspected contamination is encountered this should
be dealt with prescriptively.

Subsequent monitoring has revealed no elevated levels of
ground gases. The SPL from ground gas is therefore considered
to be inactive.
Radon gas protection measures not required according to
Groundsure report.
In conclusion, based upon the information reviewed and the results of the investigation, our assessment is
that the with appropriate mitigation measures, it should be possible to reduce the risks to acceptable levels.
The required mitigation measures identified above include the replacement of any made ground with
imported topsoil in landscaped areas if these are proposed outside the proposed basement area.
Limited access to the site was available and it is self-evident that there may be zones of contamination
within the site which were not encountered. A careful watching brief should be kept during construction to
ensure that any potentially contaminated soil encountered is disposed of in a safe and controlled manner.
Site workers should observe normal hygiene precautions when handling soils and if material suspected of
being contaminated is identified during construction, this should be set aside under protective cover and
further tests undertaken to verify the nature and levels of contamination present. If contamination is
present, a full site re-assessment may be required and a contingency should be in place in this regard.
9.0 ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION
Piled foundations or a piled-raft foundation options are the likely options. In this situation additional
investigation to greater depth will be required to provide the appropriate pile design parameters. Further
contamination testing should form part of this additional work to provide additional site coverage for a
more comprehensive assessment.

GENERAL INFORMATION, LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS
Unless otherwise stated, our Report should be construed as being a Ground Investigation Report (GIR) as defined in BS EN1997-2. Our Report is not intended to be and should not be viewed or treated as a Geotechnical Design Report (GDR) as defined in EN1997-2. Any ‘design’ recommendations which are provided are for guidance only and are intended to allow the designer to assess the results and implications of our investigation/testing and to permit preliminary design of relevant elements of the proposed scheme.
The methods of investigation used have been chosen taking into account the constraints of the site including but not limited to access and space limitations. Where it has not been possible to reasonably use an EC7 compliant investigation technique we have adopted a practical technique to obtain indicative soil parameters and any interpretation is based upon our engineering experience and relevant published information.
The Report is issued on the condition that Soil Consultants Ltd will under no circumstances be liable for any loss arising directly or indirectly from ground conditions between the exploratory points which differ from those identified during our investigation. In addition, Soil Consultants Ltd will not be liable for any loss arising directly or indirectly from any opinion given on the possible configuration of strata both between the exploratory points and/or below the maximum depth of the investigation; such opinions, where given, are for guidance only and no liability can be accepted as to their accuracy. The results of any measurements taken may vary spatially or with time and further confirmatory measurements should be made after any significant delay in using this Report.
Comments made relating to ground-water or ground-gas are based upon observations made during our investigation unless otherwise stated. Ground-water and ground-gas conditions may vary with time from those reported due to factors such as seasonal effects, atmospheric effects and and/or tidal conditions. We recommend that if monitoring installations have been included as part of our investigation, continued monitoring should be carried out to maximise the information gained.
Specific geotechnical features/hazards such as (but not limited to) areas of root-related desiccation and dissolution features in chalk/soluble rock can exist in discrete localised areas - there can be no certainty that any or all of such features/hazards have been located, sampled or identified. Where a risk is identified the designer should provide appropriate contingencies to mitigate the risk through additional exploratory work and/or an engineered solution.
Where a specific risk of ground dissolution features has been identified in our Report (anything above a ‘low’ risk rating), reference should be made to the local building control to establish whether there are any specific local requirements for foundation design and appropriate allowances should be incorporated into the design. If such a risk assessment was not within the scope of our investigation and where it is deemed that the ground sequence may give rise to such a risk (for example near-surface chalk strata) it is recommended that an appropriate assessment should be undertaken prior to design of foundations.
Where spread foundations are used, we recommend that all excavations are inspected and approved by suitably experienced personnel; appropriate inspection records should be kept. This should also apply to any structures which are in direct contact with the soil where the soil could have a detrimental effect on performance or integrity of the structure.
Ground contamination often exists in small discrete areas - there can be no certainty that any or all such areas have been located, sampled or identified.
The findings and opinions conveyed in this Report may be based on information from a variety of sources such as previous desk studies, investigations or chemical analyses. Soil Consultants Limited cannot and does not provide any guarantee as to the authenticity, accuracy or reliability of such information from third parties; such information has not been independently verified unless stated in our Report.
Our Report is written in the context of an agreed scope of work between Soil Consultants Ltd and the Client and should not be used in any different context. In light of additional information becoming available, improved practices and changes in legislation, amendment or re-interpretation of the assessment or the Report in part or in whole may be necessary after its original publication.
Unless otherwise stated our investigation does not include an arboricultural survey, asbestos survey, ecological survey or flood risk assessment and these should be deemed to be outside the scope of our investigation.
We will identify tree and plant species if possible, but a suitably qualified arboriculturalist/botanist should be consulted to provide definitive identification

Foreword to: CONTAMINATION TESTING AND ASSESSMENT The following statements are designed to inform and guide the Client and other potential parties intending to rely upon this report, with the express intent of protecting them from misunderstanding as to the extent and thus the potential associated risks that may result from proceeding without further evaluations or guidance. 1) Unless otherwise stated in this report, the testing of soils and waters is based on a
range of commonly occurring potential contaminants for the specific purpose of providing a general guidance evaluation for the proposed form of development. Thus, the range of potential contaminants is neither exhaustive nor specifically targeted to any previous known uses or influences upon the site.
2) The amount and scope of the testing should not be assumed to be exhaustive but has
been selected, at this stage, to provide a reasonable, general view of the site ground conditions. In many cases this situation is quite sufficient for the site to be characterised for the purposes of development and related Health and Safety matters for persons involved in or directly affected by the site development works. It must be understood, however, that in certain circumstances aspects or areas of the site may require further investigation and testing in order to fully clarify and characterise contamination issues, both for regulatory compliance and for commercial reasons.
3) The scope of the contamination testing must not automatically be regarded as being
sufficient to fully formulate a remediation scheme. For such a scheme it may be necessary to consider further testing to verify the effectiveness of the remedial work after the site has been treated. It must be understood that a remediation scheme which brings a site into a sufficient state for the proposed development (“fit for purpose”) under current legislation and published guidance, may result in some contamination being left in-situ. It is possible that forthcoming legislation may result in a site being classified by the Local Authority and assigned a “Degree of Risk” related to previous use or known contamination.
4) The scope of the environmental investigation and contamination testing must not be
automatically regarded as sufficient to satisfy the requirements in the wider environmental setting. The risks to adjacent properties and to the water environment are assessed by the regulatory authorities and there may be a requirement to carry out further exploration, testing and, possibly monitoring in the short or long term. It is not possible to sensibly predict the nature and extent of such additional requirements as these are the direct result of submissions to and liaison with the regulatory authorities. It is imperative, therefore, that such submissions and contacts are made as soon as possible, especially if there are perceived to be critical features of the site and proposed scheme, in this context.
5) New testing criteria have been implemented by the Environment Agency to enable a
waste disposal classification to be made. The date of implementation of this Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing was July 2005. It is this testing that will be used by the waste regulatory authorities, including waste disposal sites, to designate soils for disposal in landfill sites. In certain circumstances, to satisfy the waste regulations, there may be the necessity to carry out additional testing to clarify and confirm the nature of any contamination that may be present. If commercial requirements are significant then this process may also necessitate further field operations to clarify the extent of certain features. Thus, the waste classification must be obtained from the waste regulation authorities or a licensed waste disposal site and we strongly recommend that this classification is obtained as soon as possible and certainly prior to establishing any costings or procedures for this or related aspects of the scheme.

8 Conclusions
Risk Levels and Recommendation
Indicative British / Allied UXO Risk
HIGHThere are significant potential sources of British / Allied UXO recorded in Dynasafe BACTEC’s historicaldatabase in proximity to the site. It is recommended that further research is undertaken to determinemore about these sources and to what degree they may have affected the site. Given the proximity andsignificance of these sources, the risk on site from UXO is considered to be High.
Indicative German UXO Risk
HIGHHistorical records indicate an overall high bombing density for the borough in which the site lies, highlevels of damage ascribed to structures in the area (serious damage to total destruction), and a bombstrike(s) recorded within 50m of the site on the London ARP Bomb Census Maps.
Where high bomb damage and bomb strikes are recorded, there is a likelihood that rubble and debris waspresent which could have obscured entry holes of UXBs.
As a result, this preliminary assessment has identified a High risk from German UXBs at this site.
ConclusionThis preliminary assessment has resulted in an overall High risk from UXO. Dynasafe BACTEC wouldrecommend that a Detailed UXO Threat Assessment Desk Top Study is undertaken for this site.
Detailed assessments are conducted offline by Dynasafe BACTEC’s researchers and use informationsuch as historical mapping, WWII-era aerial photography, written air-raid precaution records and wherenecessary local archive research to fully qualify the risk on site. Land use, changes to building layoutduring WWII and post war redevelopment will also have an impact on any remaining level of risk fromUXO. It is often possible to ‘zone’ sites into different risk categories. The lead time for a detailedassessment will vary between 3-10 working days dependent upon the complexity of the site and theadditional site specific information required.

Good afternoon, apologies for the delayed response. Upon review of the information provided and a review of construction and intrusive works completed on site (post WWII), RPS considered the risk on site to be ALARP. As such suitable and sufficient UXO mitigation would be an on‐call Explosives Engineer. In the event that a suspect item being encountered by the workforce, RPS would have provided an Engineer to review the item and if necessary provided UXO Support. I hope the above is suitable for your report but if you need further info, please let me know. Kind Regards, Rhys

1. Introduction 1.1 Background This report presents the hydrology and hydrogeology components of a basement impact
assessment, to be submitted in support of a planning application for the development of the
Hero of Switzerland, Brixton, London SW9 7LL (Figure 1.1, national grid reference
TQ 3169 7595). The local planning authority is Lambeth Council.
Figure 1.1 Location of Hero of Switzerland
1.2 Basement Works The site is located between the Loughborough Road and Featley Road, in Brixton. Its
dimensions are approximately 15 m by 35 m. The Hero of Switzerland is a pub that comprises a
part two-storey building, with a cellar beneath part of the building footprint.
The site is surrounded by apartment blocks: a three-storey block with shops on the ground floor
is to the south (150-160 Loughborough Road), and to the north is an eleven-storey block
Hero of Switzerland
Hero of Switzerland: Basement Impact Assessment, hydrology and hydrogeology
Page 2
(Leicester House). The front of the three-storey block is tarmacked while ground around the
eleven-storey apartments is grassed.
The ground around the site is flat. The topographic plan (by Arena Property Services Ltd)
indicate that the ground along the south western edge of the pub is at 11.0 m above Ordnance
Datum (AOD) and along the north eastern side (being the beer garden) is at 10.7 m AOD.
Internal ground floor level is about 0.3 m above the external level and the cellar is about 2.5 m
deep.
The plan for site redevelopment is to demolish the building and construct a new 13-storey
mostly residential building, with the lower two storeys under commercial use, with one basement
level. Figure 1.2 shows a section of the lower floors of the proposed building. Finished floor
level of the basement will be 3.5 m below that of the ground floor, so at a level of approximately
7.2 m AOD.

1.3 Scope of Report This report presents the hydrology and hydrogeology basement impact assessment development
for the development. It answers the following issues highlighted in Lambeth Council’s Draft
Basements Supplementary Planning Document1, dated October 2017:
9.16 The BIA should include:
• Detailed site specific analysis of hydrological… conditions; • Analysis of how the excavation of the basement may impact on the water table and and groundwater
flow, and whether perched water is present; • Details of how flood risk, including risk from groundwater and surface water flooding has been addressed
in the design, including details of any proposed mitigation measures; • Demonstration of how cumulative effects have been considered; • Identify the location of the development in relation to an aquifer or a water course; • Explain how it will impact on flooding and drainage including measures to reduce the risk of flooding to
the proposed basement and neighbouring properties;
This report relies on factual geological and geotechnical information presented by Soil
Consultants (2018) in report number 10281/KOG/OT.

2. Physical Setting, Hydrology and Hydrogeology 2.1 Site History According to historical maps (presented by Soil Consultants, 2018) the site was already built on
in 1871, and there was a small row of houses on the site off Loughborough Road. There is a pub
building a few metres north of the site. The row of houses and pub are marked on the 1938 map
but not on the 1948 map. (UXO mapping indicates a nearby V1 bomb strike.) The former pub is
mapped as a ruin on later maps.
Some smaller houses were built on the site by 1950, but these were quickly demolished and are
not shown on the 1958 map. The apartment blocks to the north and south of the site are on the
1958 map. The present pub building was built some time between 1968 and 1973-74.
There is no indication in the historical maps of the presence of springs or watercourses near the
site.
2.2 Local Basements It is believed that neither of the apartment blocks adjacent to the pub site have basements.
Planning applications for buildings adjacent to the Hero of Switzerland have been reviewed to
identify the likelihood of there being deeper basement structures. None were identified.
2.3 Drainage and Topography Elevation of Loughborough Road outside the site is 10.6 m AOD according to Environment
Agency LIDAR data at 50 cm resolution. Ground surface in the vicinity of the road slopes north
north-westwards (gradient from LIDAR data, along Loughborough Road, is about 0.007).
The site location is between the former courses of the ‘lost’ River2 Effra and the Earl’s Sluice
(Figure 2.1). These rivers have been culverted beneath the city: the River Effra beneath the
Brixton Road 500 m to the west, where ground elevation is about 8.0 m AOD; and Earl’s Sluice
probably about 550 m to the east.
The closest current surface water body (that is marked on a modern map) is the River Thames,
about 2.5 km north west of the site. There are a few isolated ponds within local parks that are
closer, but none are closer to the site than 500 m.

2.4 Flooding
2.4.1 Flooding from Rivers and Seas According to the Environment Agency’s map of flood risk for planning purposes, the site is in
flood zone 1, and therefore a flood risk assessment is not necessary on the basis of risk of river
flooding.
2.4.2 Surface Water Flooding The Lambeth Council Surface Water Management Plan
3 (SWMP) indicates that the site is not
within a critical drainage area for surface water flooding. The map of surface water flood risk
from the Environment Agency (Figure 2.2) indicates that there is a part of Featley Road that is at
high risk but this does not extend to within site boundaries. The site itself is at negligible risk of
surface water flooding (with an annual probability of less than 0.001).
Figure 2.2 Risk of surface water flooding

Hero of Switzerland: Basement Impact Assessment, hydrology and hydrogeology
Page 7
2.4.3 Sewer Flooding According to the SWMP the site is not in one of the postcode areas with significant history of
sewer flooding, so the risk of sewer flooding can be considered to be negligible.
2.4.4 Groundwater Flooding The site is in an area listed as having ‘increased potential for elevated groundwater in permeable
superficial deposits’ by the SWMP. The likelihood of this hazard being realised is discussed in
Section 3.2. There are, however, no cited records of groundwater flooding on or near
Loughborough Road.
2.5 Local Geology and Hydrogeology Geological mapping indicates that bedrock at the site comprises London Clay which locally
isolates the main drinking water supply aquifer of the London Basin from the surface. The depth
of the chalk aquifer here is about 50 m based on data from a deep borehole at King’s College Hospital
4, 650 m to the east.
Geological mapping shows that superficial deposits comprise sands and gravels of the Taplow
Gravel Member. A line of boreholes5, constructed in 1968 roughly along the line of Minet Road,
150 to 200 m north east of the site, shows a geological section that can be assumed to be
representative of site conditions (Figure 2.3).
The cross-section shows the gravel deposit reaching a thickness of about 4.0 m but thinning
southwards. A near-surface layer of sandy clay / clayey sand overlies the sand and gravel. The
water table is within the sand and gravel unit, about 4.0 m below ground level where present.

2.6 Site Geology and Groundwater A ground investigation was completed on site in August 2018. The investigation is reported in
full in Soil Consultants report number 10281/KOG/OT.
One borehole (BH1) was advanced, from the beer garden north east of the building, by rotary
auger, to a depth of 12.0 m. The log shows that below 0.9 m of made ground there was a layer of
sandy clayey silt to 1.85 m depth. A layer of alternating sandy gravel and gravelly sand was found
beneath this and was 4.05 m in thickness. Therefore, London Clay was identified at a depth of
5.2 m. A schematic log is shown in Figure 2.4.
A standpipe was installed in the boreholes to 6.0 m depth, i.e. to the base of the sand and gravel
layer. Groundwater was encountered during drilling, within the sand and gravel, at about 4.2 m
depth. A rest level of 3.95 m was measured during subsequent monitoring.

3. Site Conceptual Model and Impact Assessment 3.1 Current Groundwater Conditions Ground beneath the development site comprises a water-bearing layer of sand and gravel, over
low permeability London Clay. When measured in August 2018, groundwater level was observed
in a standpipe at a level close to the expected formation level (Section 2.6).
At the end of a very dry summer, this measurement can be expected to be lower than peak
winter levels. By comparison with typical groundwater level ranges for West London gravels in
CIRIA (1993)6, the peak groundwater level might be expected to be perhaps 0.2 to 0.3 m above
the August 2018 level.
With one borehole, the hydraulic gradient beneath the site cannot be reliably estimated except
that it is probably roughly in the direction of the northward regional slope of the ground.
3.2 Risk of Groundwater Flooding The Lambeth SFRA presents an extract from the groundwater flood susceptibility dataset, by the
British Geological Survey (BGS), as an indication that the site is susceptible to groundwater
flooding at surface. The dataset is a useful tool for highlighting regional areas that are potentially
at risk of groundwater flooding, but at a site scale the dataset is not reliable. The following
section summarises the assumptions behind the dataset7.
The dataset represents two types of groundwater flooding: ‘clearwater’ and ‘PSD’ (permeable superficial deposits). Clearwater flooding is mapped to the outcrop areas of permeable bedrock,
such as the Chalk, much further south of Loughborough Road. The London Clay is not
considered to be permeable bedrock so the modelled groundwater flooding along the
Loughborough Road is PSD flooding.
PSD flooding arises when a river level (or the sea level for coastal sites) rises within its banks, but
there are areas behind the banks that are lower than the crest of the bank. Groundwater may
then flow through the permeable sub-surface to emerge in these hollows that are not connected
to the river by an overland flow path. This is a common phenomenon on the gravels next to the
River Thames, with PSD flooding occurring in south Oxford and in the Maidenhead area.
In creating the PSD flooding dataset the BGS did not use a) a real river dataset, and b) modelled
flood levels (e.g. Environment Agency modelled levels). Instead the survey developed a bespoke
national model of river network and flood elevations at a 50 m resolution. Topography data that
was used to compare ground level with the flood level was also at 50 m resolution (originally OS
Panorama was used, but perhaps now the more modern OS Terrain 50 is used). This resolution
is suitable for regional studies but not site-specific studies.
Loughborough Road runs roughly along the watershed between two former watercourses (the
River Effra and Earl’s Sluice) that both lie more than 500 m from the site (Section 2.3). It is not,
therefore, reasonable to expect that high river levels in either watercourse (which have, of course,
been culverted into the sewer system) will lead to groundwater levels above ground surface at
Loughborough Road.

Page 11
Furthermore, the site is not in a hollow - it is on a gentle slope that falls northwards. So if
flooding was to reach the site it will be river flooding, not groundwater flooding. Environment
Agency flood risk mapping shows that this is not expected (Section 2.4.1).
3.3 Impact Assessment The highest likely groundwater level (including seasonal variation) may be c. 0.3 m, or a little
more, above formation level (Section 3.1). Typically, when a basement constructed with
impermeable material (e.g. the concrete floor slab) is placed into a permeable aquifer with
flowing groundwater, the head of groundwater rises upstream of the basement and drops
downstream of the basement. It appears likely that this will be the case.
The gradient of the water table appears to be approximately northwards but the exact
groundwater flow direction is unknown. Typically, if the system were to be modelled, and if the
basement fully penetrated the sand and gravel aquifer, the rise in groundwater level might be
expected8 to be no more than perhaps 0.4 m on the upstream edge. Since the proposed
basement extends only a very small distance below the water table (relative to the full saturated
thickness) this assumed rise will be a considerable over-estimate.
There are no basements upstream of the proposed basement at the Hero of Switzerland. Hence,
even if there was to be a change in groundwater level there is no basement to be affected. It is
unfeasible to imagine that the groundwater level might rise above ground surface in these
conditions (i.e. starting at around 4.0 m below ground).
The site entirely comprises impermeable surfaces (tarmac, paving and roof), so no water goes to
ground at present. The proposed development does not intend to change this so there will be no
downstream flooding impact from the development.
8 For example, in the ARUP (2010) guidance for subterranean development for Camden Borough Council
(paragraph 172), it is stated that: ‘The change in water levels is in proportion to the increase in the length of the
flow path. In the case of a site measuring 10 m in the direction of groundwater flow, the natural difference in
groundwater level might be one or two centimetres.’
Hero of Switzerland: Basement Impact Assessment, hydrology and hydrogeology
Page 12
4. Conclusions Potential environmental impacts of basement construction at the Hero of Switzerland have been
considered. The following summary conclusions are made:
• There will no overall increase in man-made impermeable area. Therefore, the amount,
timing and quality of surface water runoff will not be reduced by the development. No
water will go to ground as a result of the basement development.
• Available geological and hydrogeological information indicates that there is a permeable
aquifer beneath the site that is water bearing. Groundwater has been detected in one site
borehole roughly at formation level of the proposed basement.
• There are no basements up hydraulic gradient from the basement so there is no risk to
adjacent basements even if groundwater levels were to rise slightly as a result of
basement construction.
• Construction methods and materials will have to take account of the likelihood of
groundwater being present just above formation level.
These conclusions are considered to be robust and no further investigations are needed to satisfy
the screening criteria for groundwater risk or flooding risk.

Introduction
1.1 Scott White and Hookins LLP have been instructed by Macniven Quays Ltd to undertake a
flood risk assessment of a proposed development at The Hero of Switzerland,
Loughborough Junction, London. This flood risk assessment has been produced as a
supporting document for a planning application and takes the form of a desk study.
1.2 The proposed development comprises the demolition of the existing public house, and
erection of a 13-storey building (plus basement and mezzanine floor levels and roof level
access) including a replacement public house with residential units above. The existing site
currently comprises a public house with associated external hardstanding. The development
is classed as More Vulnerable Development under the National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF) Table 2: Flood Risk Vulnerability Classification. As such it is deemed to be an
Appropriate development for Flood Zone 1 under the NPPF Table 3: Flood Risk Vulnerability
and Flood Zone ‘Compatibility’.
1.3 A location plan is provided in Appendix A. This report considers the flood risk to the
proposed development and the impact that the development will have in relation to
flooding of adjacent areas and watercourses. It also considers any limits relating to flooding
that are likely to be imposed to allow the development to be undertaken and recommends
Sustainable Urban Drainage systems (SUDS) to control surface water runoff.
1.4 This report takes into account the requirements of NPPF, the London Development Plan,
Lambeth Borough Local Plan and is based on information received from the Environment
Agency (EA) web site.
1.5 This report is for the private and confidential use of the client and its agents and may not
be copied in whole or in part without the written permission of Scott White and Hookins

Government Policy on Flood Risk and Drainage of Development
2.1 The frequency and severity of river flooding is perceived to have increased in recent years
and in an attempt to mitigate the flood risk the Government published Planning Policy
Statement Note 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS25) in December 2006. PPS25 details
the importance of the effective management and reduction of flood risk in the land use
planning process and attempts to address the issue of climate change. This has since been
updated and is set out in The National Planning Policy Framework and the supporting
technical guidance.
2.2 Traditionally surface water run-off from developments has been conveyed by pipe systems
to the nearest watercourse or sewer. This tends to increase the rate and volume of the run
off often leading to flooding downstream of the new development. Latest policy promotes
the use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) whereby the control of run off is to
be as close to source as possible. This can be achieved by utilising techniques which mimic
the natural drainage processes, the use of direct infiltration for example. The Environment
Agency will, in general, seek to restrict the allowable discharge from a new development to
that previously expected form the undeveloped land.
2.3 The requirements of the revised Building Regulations which came into force on 1st April
2002 are that adequate provision should be made for dealing with rainwater form the roofs
of buildings and certain paved areas providing access to the buildings. Run off from such
drainage systems are to be discharged to one of the following systems listed in order of
priority: -
▪ A soakaway or other infiltration system
▪ A watercourse
▪ A sewer or drain
2.4 The revised Building Regulations were drafted to reinforce the requirements for SuDS
wherever possible.
2.5 The Requirements of a Flood Risk Assessment:
A Flood Risk Assessment is required in order to ascertain whether a development will
exacerbate the risk of flooding elsewhere in the catchment or is at risk of flooding itself.
A site specific FRA is required for: -
▪ Proposals of 1 Hectare or greater situated in Flood Zone 1.
▪ New development (including minor development and change of use) located in
areas of Flood Zone 1 that have critical drainage problems
▪ New development (including minor development and change of use) located in
areas of Flood Zones 2 & 3.

2.6 The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Non-Statutory Technical
Standards for Sustainable Drainage Practice Guidance also provides guidance for the
sustainable design of drainage.
2.7 Flood Risk Outside the Development
S1 - Where the drainage system discharges to a surface water body that can
accommodate uncontrolled surface water discharges without any impact on flood risk
form that surface water body (e.g. the sea or a large estuary) the peak flow control
standards below (S2 and S3) and volume control technical standards (S4 and S5) need not
apply.
2.8 Peak Flow Control
S2 - For greenfield developments, the peak runoff rate from the development to any
highway drain, sewer or surface water body for the 1 in 1 year rainfall event and the 1 in
100 year rainfall event should never exceed the peak greenfield runoff rate for the same
event.
S3 - For developments which were previously developed, the peak runoff rate from the
development to any drain, sewer or surface water body for the 1 in 1 year rainfall event
and the 1 in 100 year rainfall event must be as close as reasonably practicable to the
greenfield runoff rate from the development for the same rainfall event, but should never
exceed the rate of discharge from the development prior to redevelopment for that event.
2.9 Volume Control
S4 - Where reasonably practicable, for greenfield development, the runoff volume from
the development to any highway drain, sewer or surface water body in the 1 in 100 year, 6
hour rainfall event should never exceed the greenfield runoff volume for the same event.
S5 - Where reasonably practicable, for developments which have been previously
developed, the runoff volume from the development to any highway drain, sewer or
surface water body in the 1 in 100 year, 6 hour rainfall event must be constrained to a
value as close as is reasonably practicable to the greenfield runoff volume for the same
event, but should never exceed the runoff volume from the development site prior to
redevelopment for that event.
S6 - Where it is not reasonably practicable to constrain the volume of runoff to any drain,
sewer or surface water body in accordance with S4 or S5 above, the runoff volume must
be discharged at a rate that does not adversely affect flood risk
2.10 Flood Risk Within the Development
S7 - The drainage system must be designed so that, unless an area is designated to hold
and/or convey water as part of the design, flooding does not occur on any part of the site
for a 1 in 30 year rainfall event.
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switerland, Loughborough Junction, London 6 www.swh.co.uk
London
Bedford
Winchester
S8 - The drainage system must be designed so that, unless an area is designated to hold
and/or convey water as part of the design, flooding does not occur during a 1 in 100 year
rainfall event in any part of: a building (including a basement); or in any utility plant
susceptible to water (e.g. pumping station or electricity substation) within the
development.
S9 - The design of the site must ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, flows
resulting from rainfall in excess of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event are managed in
exceedance routes that minimise the risks to people and property.
2.11 Structural Integrity
S10 - Components must be designed to ensure structural integrity of the drainage system
and any adjacent structures or infrastructure under anticipated loading conditions over the
design life of the development taking into account the requirement for reasonable levels
of maintenance.
S11 - The materials, including products, components, fittings or naturally occurring
materials, which are specified by the designer must be of a suitable nature and quality for
their intended use.
2.12 Designing for Maintenance Considerations
S12 - Pumping should only be used to facilitate drainage for those parts of the site where
it is not reasonably practicable to drain water by gravity.
2.13 Construction
S13 - The mode of construction of any communication with an existing sewer or drainage
system must be such that the making of the communication would not be prejudicial to
the structural integrity and functionality of the sewerage or drainage system.
S14 - Damage to the drainage system resulting from associated construction activities
must be minimised and must be rectified before the drainage system is considered to be
completed.
2.14 London Local Plan Policy 5.12
Policy 5.12 of the London Local Plan seeks to address current and future flood issues and
minimise risks in a sustainable and cost-effective way.
Development proposals must comply with the flood risk assessment and management
requirement set out in the NPPF and the associated technical guidance on flood risk over the

Winchester
lifetime of the development and have regard to measures proposes in Thames Estuary 2100
(TE2100) and catchment Flood Management Plans
Developments which are required to pass the Exception Test set out in the NPPF and the
Technical Guidance will need to address flood resilient design and emergency planning by
demonstrating that:
x The development will remain safe and operational under flood conditions
x A strategy of either safe evacuation and/or safely remaining in the building is
followed under flood conditions
x Key services including electricity, water etc will continue to be provided under
flood conditions
x Buildings are designed for quick recovery following a flood
Development adjacent to flood defences will be required to protect the integrity of
existing flood defences and wherever possible should aim to be set back from the banks
of the watercourses and those defences to allow their management, maintenance and
upgrading to be undertaken in a sustainable and cost effective way.
In line with the NPPF and the Technical Guidance, boroughs should, when preparing LDFs,
utilise Strategic Flood Risk Assessments to identify areas where particular flood risk issues
exist and develop actions and policy approaches aimed at reducing these risks, particularly
through redevelopment of sites at risk of flooding and identifying specific opportunities
for flood risk management measures.
2.15 London Local Plan Policy 5.13
Development should utilise sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) unless there are
practical reasons for not doing so, and should aim to achieve greenfield run-off rates and
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switerland, Loughborough Junction, London 8 www.swh.co.uk
London
Bedford
Winchester
ensure that surface water run-off is managed as close to its source as possible in line with the
following hierarchy:
x Store rainwater for later use
x Use infiltration techniques, such as porous surfaces in non-clay areas
x Attenuate rainwater in ponds or open water features for gradual release
x Attenuate rainwater by storing in tanks or released water features for gradual
release
x Discharge rainwater direct to a watercourse
x Discharge rainwater to a surface water sewer/drain
x Discharge rainwater to the combined sewer.
Drainage should be designed and implemented in ways that deliver other policy objectives of
this Plan, including water use efficiency and quality, biodiversity, amenity and recreation.
Within LDFs boroughs should, in line with the Flood and Water Management Act 2010,
utilities Surface Water Management Plans to identify areas where there are particular surface
water management issues and develop actions and policy approaches aimed at reducing
these risks.
2.16 Lambeth Borough Council Local Plan
EN 5 Flood Risk
The council will seek minimise the impact of flooding in the borough through:
x Applying a sequential, risk based approach to the location of the development to avoid
where possible, flood risk to people and property and manage any residual risk, taking
account of the impacts of climate change over the lifetime of the development;
- Steering development towards areas of lowest flood risk, both across Lambeth and
within the development site boundary, through the application of the Sequential Test in
accordance with the NPPF, taking the vulnerability of the proposed uses into account, as
set out in the Lambeth Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA);
- Ensuring development does not increase flood risk and where possible reduces flood
risk for all forms of flooding;
- Permitting appropriate development in Flood Zones 1, 2, 3a and 3b subject to meeting
the criteria set out in Annex 5; and
- Taking account of the flood risk management measures identified by the Thames
Estuary 2100 Plan.
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switerland, Loughborough Junction, London 9 www.swh.co.uk
London
Bedford
Winchester
x All development in Flood Zones 2, 3a and 2b defined in the SFRA, or identified as at risk
of flooding from other sources, should contribute positively to actively reducing flood
risk though avoidance, reduction, management and mitigation.
x A Flood Risk Assessment will be required for major development proposals within Flood
Zone 1, all development within Flood Zones 2, 3a and 3b, or where the development
may be subject to other sources of flooding. The FRA should be proportionate with the
degree of flood risk posed to and by the proposed development; consider the impact of
climate change on flood risk to and from the development using the latest government
guidance; and take account of the advice and recommendations set out in the SFRA and
Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS).
x FRAs must consider the risk of both on and off-site flooding to and from the
development for all sources of flooding including fluvial, tidal, surface run-off,
groundwater, ordinary watercourse, sewer and reservoir.
x For all developments, it must be demonstrated that the development will be safe, and
where required, it will reduce fluvial, tidal, surface run off and groundwater flood risk
and manage residual risks through appropriate flood risk measures, including the use of
sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in accordance with Policy EN6. Measures to
mitigate flooding from sewers should be discussed with Thames Water Utilities Ltd. And
be included in development proposals for which this is a risk.
x Basement proposals (excluding self contained dwellings in FZ3) shall incorporate
appropriate mitigation measures to ensure the development is safe from all forms of
flooding and does not increase flood risk elsewhere.
x For developments adjacent to the River Thames, and River Graveney, maintenance,
remediation and improvements to the flood defence walls will be required where
necessary. Developments adjacent to defences and culverts should demonstrate that
their development will not undermine the structural integrity of detrimentally impact
upon its intended operation.
EN 6 Sustainable Drainage Systems and Water Management
Development proposals should:
x Maximise opportunities for restoring river channels, flood flow pathways and
floodplains to their natural state and managing surface run-off above ground and as
close o the source as possible to reduce flood risks downstream; and implement
sustainable water management through water sensitive urban design (WSUD).
x Provide compensatory storage to ensure that there is no loss in flood storage capacity
where flood storage is removed, as set out in the Strategic Food Risk Assessment
(SFRA);
x Ensure that the layout and design does not have detrimental impact on floodwater flow
routes across the site;
x Demonstrate that there will be a net decrease in both the volume and rate of run-off
leaving the site by incorporating sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) in line with the
London Plan drainage hierarchy and National SuDS Standards to maximise amenity and
biodiversity benefits and improve the quality of water discharges, Details submitted to
the council to demonstrate compliance with this policy should follow the design
principles within the National SuDS Standards and the current SuDS manual and

guidance identified within the councils SFRA or Local Flood risk Management Strategy
(LFRMS).
x Seek to improve the water environment in line with the requirements of the European
Water Framework Directive 2000 and its associated legislation, and the Thames River
Basin Management Plan;
x Minimising water consumption and the pressure on the combined sewer network,
through incorporating water efficiency measures including rainwater harvesting, grey
water recycling and other innovative technologies where practical; and
x Demonstrate that the local water supply and public sewerage networks have adequate
capacity both on and off site to serve the development; where there is a capacity
problem and improvements in off site infrastructure are not programmed, the
developer will need to demonstrate that the necessary improvements will be completed
prior to occupation of the development.

Existing Site
3.1 The site is located on land off Loughborough Road, Loughborough Junction, London. The
site is centred on grid reference TQ 31690 75951 and is approximately 0.04 hectares in size.
A location plan is given in Appendix A.
A copy of the Existing Site Layout is present in Appendix C.
3.2 The site is a Brownfield site comprising a public house and associated hard landscaping. The
developed area of the site is largely flat. Currently the site slopes from the high point of
11.62mAOD to 10.71mAOD.
3.3 A collection of high-rise residential tower blocks with associated hard and soft landscaping
are located to the north of the site. Loughborough Road is located to the east of the site,
with medium rise residential flats beyond. To the south of the site is Hero Square with
associated retail units and hard landscaping in the form of a highway layby and pedestrian
paving. Further high-rise residential tower blocks lie beyond. Medium rise residential flats
with associated hard and soft landscaping are to the west of the site. The site is accessed
from Featley Road on the western boundary of the site.
3.4 The nearest significant watercourse to the site is the River Thames approximately 2.6km
away to the north west.
3.5 Thames Water records indicate there is a public combined sewer to the east of the site
within Loughborough Road. There is another combined sewer to the south of the site within
Featley Road. Sewer record mapping can be found in Appendix B.
3.6 Currently the site is understood to drain to the public combined sewer via a gravity drainage
network.
3.7 British Geological Survey (BGS) maps indicate the site to be underlain by the London Clay
Formation with Sand and Gravel superficial deposits. On this basis it is not likely that
drainage by infiltration techniques would be possible.
3.8 The Environment Agency online groundwater mapping uses the same BGS mapping base
information and classifies the site as an Unproductive Aquifer, which is described as “These are geological strata with low permeability that have negligible significance for water supply or river base flow.”.

Potential Flood Risks
4.1 Flood plain mapping provided by the Environment Agency (EA) indicates that the site lies in
Flood Zone 1.
Flood Zone 1 is defined as comprising ‘land assessed as having less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of river flooding (0.1%)’.
On this basis the site is considered to have a low risk of flooding and therefore does not
have to pass the Sequential or Exception Tests. See extract of Flood Map in Appendix D.
Minor flood risks to the site are considered as follows:
4.2 Fluvial
The nearest significant watercourse is the River Thames which is approximately 2.6km to
the north west of the site.
4.3 Localised flooding caused by ground water
There is no known history of flooding of the site from groundwater sources.
4.4 Localised flooding caused by overland surface water runoff
The general topography of the site is flat with levels varying by 0.91m between 10.71mAOD
to 11.62mAOD. The areas surrounding the site are at similar levels or lower and therefore
surface water runoff is not likely to affect the site. The EA ‘Risk of Flooding from Surface Water’ indicates that the site is at very low risk of flooding from surface water although both
Featley and Loughborough Road are both at risk of surface water flooding (see Appendix D). This means it has a chance of flooding of less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of river
flooding (0.1%).
The site currently drains as a brownfield site with runoff draining towards the low point
situated to the east of the site. This runoff finds its way to the low point via overland
runoff.
4.5 Other sources of flooding
There are not any canals, reservoirs or other forms of watercourse upstream of the site to
be a potential source other than those already mentioned.
Our assessment of the above flood risks indicates that the site is not within a flood risk area
and flood mitigation measures will not be required.

Flood risk mitigation and SUDS proposals
5.1 The development is indicated as being in Flood Zone 1 on the Environment Agency Flood
map and therefore has a low risk of flooding.
5.2 The proposed development comprises the demolition of the existing public house, and
erection of a 13-storey building (plus basement and mezzanine floor levels and roof level
access) including a replacement public house with residential units above. The proposed
site layout can be found in Appendix E.
The site has a total area of 0.045ha and its development would mimic the construction
impermeable areas and result in an increase of surface water run-off.
The existing predevelopment flows are as follows: -
▪ Existing 1 in 1 year flow = 6.2 l/s
▪ Existing 1 in 30 year flow = 16.9 l/s
▪ Existing 1 in 100 year flows = 22.0 l/s
Existing run-off rates can be found in Appendix F.
In order to limit run off from the site and mitigate flood risks to areas downstream, offsite
flow rates should be limited to greenfield rates and SuDS should be used. If a ground
investigation confirms that infiltration techniques alone are feasible then these should be
adopted.
The existing average foul water discharge rates have been calculated at 0.36l/s based on
discharge units in accordance with BS EN 12056-2:2000.
It is proposed to connect the foul water network to the existing combined water manhole
on site. The foul water flows for the proposed development are approximately at 1.67l/s in
accordance with Sewers for Adoption 6th edition.
The basement is to be tanked completely to prevent any ground water ingress. Foul water
discharge from the basement is to be pumped to the proposed gravity foul water network
on the ground floor.
On the basis of the above, the following is proposed: -
▪ Surface water runoff from roof and hardstanding areas to discharge the existing
combined sewer manhole via a cellular storage attenuation tank before discharging
to the public combined sewer.
▪ Foul water network is to discharge to the existing public combined water sewer
located within Loughborough Road via the existing combined sewer manhole.

5.3 To ensure drainage elements are maintained, maintenance of drainage should be covered
by a suitable management company and subject to a regular maintenance regime.
Maintenance of SuDS to be in accordance with CIRIA SuDS manual C753 where specific
intervals are advised within the document as per element type.

Surface Water Drainage Maintenance Schedule
6.1 This section sets out the inspection and maintenance requirements for long term
management of the developments surface water drainage strategy. This work is to be
undertaken by private maintenance company.
6.2 All those responsible for maintenance should take appropriate health, safety and welfare
precautions for all activities including lone working, if relevant, and risk assessments should
always be undertaken. The sites infrastructure Health and Safety File should be consulted
before carrying out any works either inside or outside of the developments boundary and
information regarding the location of existing utilities passed on to operatives.
6.3 The requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Construction (Design
and Management) Regulations 2015 should be adhered to and any residual risks identified
in the Health and Safety File should be managed and information passed on the
maintenance operatives through task specific risk assessments.
There are three types of maintenance activities associated with surface water drainage
systems.
The SuDS Manual, CIRIA C753, defines these as:
▪ Regular Maintenance – ‘basic tasks undertaken on a frequent and predictable schedule’ including vegetation management, litter and debris removal, and inspections.’
▪ Occasional Maintenance – ‘tasks that are likely to be required periodically, but on a much less frequent and predictable basis than the routine tasks (sediment removal
is an example).’ ▪ Remedial Maintenance – ‘intermittent tasks that may be required to rectify faults
associated with the system, although the likelihood of faults can be minimised by
google design. Where remedial work is found to be necessary, it is likely to be due
to site-specific characteristics or unforeseen events, and as such timings are difficult
to predict.

Summary and Conclusions
7.1 The development lies within Flood Risk Zones 1 as indicated on the Environment Agency
flood map. On this basis the site is considered to be at a low risk of flooding.
7.2 The flood mitigation considerations in section 4.0 of this report indicate that no increase in
flood risk, either on site or downstream, has been introduced as a result of the development
and no flood risk reduction measures are required.
7.3 Surface water runoff from the proposed roof and hard standing areas will discharge to the
existing combined sewer via cellular storage crates and an existing combined sewer
manhole.
7.4 Foul water drainage is to discharge to the existing public foul water sewer located within
Loughborough Road via an existing combined sewer manhole.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Scott White and Hookins (SWH) have prepared this Capacity Statement for a proposed
development at The Hero of Switzerland, Brixton, London. This statement has been produced as a supporting document for a planning application and takes the form of a desk study.
London Bedford
Winchester
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switzerland
2.0 Existing Conditions
2.1 Existing Site
2.1.1 The existing site comprises a public house with a residential flat above. Drainage serving the existing site is comprised of a combined drainage network serving both foul and surface water discharge.
2.1.2 The existing foul water drainage loadings have been calculated in accordance with BS EN 12056-2:2000.
2.1.3 A copy of the existing site layout is located in Appendix A.
2.2 Foul Water Network
2.2.1 The existing foul water loading has been calculated as follows:
The existing building use can be considered as frequent, which gives a peak foul water discharge rate of 3.00l/s.
2.3 Surface Water Network
2.3.1 The existing surface water discharge rates have been calculated by modelling the existing drainage network in MicroDrainage with the existing impermeable areas.
2.3.2 The proposed site has an area of 0.045ha, of which 100% is impermeable. Based on this, the existing brownfield runoff rates from the site are as follows:-
1 in 1 year: 6.2 l/s 1 in 30 year: 16.9 l/s 1 in 100 year : 22.0 l/s
MicroDrainage calculations for the existing surface water network are located in Appendix B.

Winchester
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switzerland
2.4 The total existing peak off site discharge for the site to the combined sewer for a 1 in 100yr storm event is therefore 25.0 l/s.
London Bedford
Winchester
Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switzerland
3.0 Proposed Conditions
3.1 Proposed Site
3.1.1 The proposed site comprises the reconstruction of the existing public house with 36 residential apartments above over 14 stories. Drainage for the proposed site will be separated into a separate foul and surface water network before discharging into an existing combined manhole on site.
3.1.2 The proposed foul water drainage loadings have been calculated in accordance with BS EN 12056-2:2000 and Sewers for Adoption 6th Addition.
3.1.3 A copy of the proposed site layout is located in Appendix C.
3.2 Foul Water Network
3.2.1 The existing foul water loading has been calculated as follows: It is assumed the loading from the proposed public house will mimic the existing conditions and will therefore have a peak discharge rate of 3.00l/s. The foul water discharge rate for the 36 residential apartments based on SfA6, at 4000l/dwelling/day, is 1.67l/s.
3.3 Surface Water Network
3.3.1 It is proposed to restrict the surface water discharge rate from the proposed site to better the existing rates as reasonably possible. In order to avoid the risk of blockage of the flow control, it is proposed to restrict the surface water discharge rate to 5.00l/s for all storm events up to and including the 1 in 100yr storm event + 40% climate change allowance.
3.3.2 With the restricted surface water outfall, the extra volume of water is to be attenuated on site in cellular storage crates. The attenuation volume is approximately 12.8m3. MicroDrainage calculations for the proposed surface water network are located in Appendix D.
3.4 The total proposed peak off site discharge for the site to the combined sewer is therefore 9.67 l/s. This provides a betterment over the existing condition of 15.33 l/s.

Structural and Civil Engineering Services W02047 Hero of Switzerland
4.0 Summary & Conclusions
4.1 The total existing peak off site discharge for the site to the combined sewer is 25.0 l/s, comprising
3.00l/s for the peak foul water discharge and 22.0l/s for the surface water network for the 1 in 100yr storm event.
4.2 The total proposed peak off site discharge for the site to the combined sewer is therefore 9.67 l/s. This is comprised of 4.67l/s from the foul water network, and 5.00l/s from the surface water network for the 1 in 100yr storm event including 40% allowance for climate change.
4.3 This proposed development therefore provides a reduction in peak off-site surface and foul water discharge of 15.33 l/s.
4.4 The figures provided in this report were provided to Thames Water for a Pre-Planning enquiry. Thames Water have subsequently confirmed that there is sufficient capacity in the existing network to accommodate the foul and surface water discharge from the proposed development. The Pre-Planning Capacity confirmation letter is located in Appendix E.

Appendix E Thames Water Capacity Confirmation Letter
Thames Water Utilities Limited – Registered Office: Clearwater Court, Vastern Road, Reading RG1 8DB Company number 02366661. VAT registration no GB 537-4569-15
Mr. Harry Hunter Scott White and Hookins LLP Harman House Andover Road SO23 7BS
DS6052898
30 October 2018
Pre-planning enquiry: Confirmation of sufficient capacity
Dear Mr. Hunter,
Thank you for providing information on your development at Hero of Switzerland, 142 Longhborough Road, Stockwell, London, SW9 7LL. Existing site is 300sqm of public house, foul discharge via gravity, existing SW rates 1 in 1: 6.2l/s, 1 in 30 16.9l/s, 1 in 100: 22l/s via existing chamber which discharges into 1140x760 combined sewer. Development proposal for retaining existing public house and proposed 36 flats, foul discharge by gravity, proposed SW rates at 5l/s via existing chamber which discharges into 1140x760 combined sewer.
We have completed the assessment of the foul water flows and surface water run-off based on the information submitted in your application with the purpose of assessing sewerage capacity within the existing Thames Water sewer network.
Foul Water
If your proposals progress in line with the details you’ve provided, we’re pleased to confirm that there will be sufficient sewerage capacity in the adjacent combined sewer network to serve your development. This confirmation is valid for 12 months or for the life of any planning approval that this information is used to support, to a maximum of three years.
You’ll need to keep us informed of any changes to your design – for example, an increase in the number or density of homes. Such changes could mean there is no longer sufficient capacity.
Surface Water
We confirm that there will be sufficient capacity in our sewerage network to accept the surface water discharge rate provided as part of the enquiry, however this does not preclude the requirement as set out by the Policy 5.13 of the London Plan.
Management of surface water from the site should follow policy 5.13 of the London Plan, development should ‘aim to achieve greenfield run-off rates’ utilising Sustainable Drainage and where this is not possible information explaining why it is not possible should be provided to both the LLFA and Thames Water.
Typically greenfield run off rates of 5l/s/ha should be aimed for using the drainage hierarchy. The hierarchy lists the preference for surface water disposal as follows; Store Rainwater for later use > Use infiltration techniques, such as porous surfaces in non-clay areas > Attenuate rainwater in ponds or open water features for gradual release > Discharge rainwater direct to a watercourse > Discharge rainwater direct to a surface water sewer/drain > Discharge rainwater to the combined sewer.
No green/blue roof proposed so could possibly restrict further.
What happens next? Please make sure you submit your connection application, giving us at least 21 days’ notice of the date you wish to make your new connection/s. If you’ve any further questions, please contact me on 0203 577 9018 / 07747 640 273.
Yours sincerely
