Introduction
The purpose of the Construction Management Plan (C/DMP) is to help developers to
minimise construction impacts, and relates to all construction activity both on and off site
that impacts on the wider environment.
It is intended to be a live document whereby different stages will be completed and
submitted for application as the development progresses.
The completed and signed C/DMP must address the way in which any impacts associated
with the proposed works, and any cumulative impacts of other nearby construction sites,
will be mitigated and managed. The level of detail required in a C/DMP will depend on the
scale and nature of development. Further policy guidance is set out in Camden Planning
Guidance (CPG) 6: Amenity and (CPG) 8: Planning Obligations.
This C/DMP follows the best practice guidelines as described in the Construction Logistics
and Community Safety (CLOCS) Standard and the Guide for Contractors Working in Camden.
Camden charges a fee for the review and ongoing monitoring of C/DMPs. This is calculated
on an individual basis according to the predicted officer time required to manage this
process for a given site.
The approved contents of this C/DMP must be complied with unless otherwise agreed with
the Council in writing. The project manager shall work with the Council to review this
C/DMP if problems arise during construction. Any future revised plan must also be approved
by the Council and complied with thereafter.
It should be noted that any agreed C/DMP does not prejudice or override the need to obtain
any separate consents or approvals such as road closures or hoarding licences.
If your scheme involves any demolition, you need to make an application to the Council’s
Building Control Service. Please complete the “Demolition Notice.”
Please complete the questions below with additional sheets, drawings and plans as
required. The boxes will expand to accommodate the information provided, so please
provide as much information as is necessary. It is preferable if this document, and all
additional documents, are completed electronically and submitted as Word files to allow
comments to be easily documented. These should be clearly referenced/linked to from the
C/DMP. Please only provide the information requested that is relevant to a particular
section.

(Note the term 'vehicles' used in this document refers to all vehicles associated with the
implementation of the development, e.g. demolition, site clearance, delivery of plant &
materials, construction etc.)
Revisions to this document may take place periodically.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If your site falls within a Cumulative Impact Area
(as of 03/02/2020 to 03/08/2020 there is only one established CIA for the
Central London area) you are required to complete the CIA Checklist and
circulate as an appendix to the CMP and included as part of any public
consultation – a CMP submission will not be accepted until evidence of
this has been supplied.
The CIA Checklist can be found at https://www.camden.gov.uk/about-

Site
6. Please provide a site location plan and a brief description of the site, surrounding area and development proposals for which the C/DMP applies.
St Pancras Commercial Centre, 63 Pratt Street, Camden, London NW1 0BY. Covering an
area of approximately 1.2 acres, the site is located near Kings Cross rail station and
Camden Town underground station in London, between St Pancras Way, Pratt Street,
Royal College Street and Georgiana Street. St Pancras Commercial Centre at 63 Pratt
Street is a rectangular shaped block bound by Pratt Street to the south, St Pancras Way
to the east, Georgiana Street to the north and Royal College Street to the west. The Site
comprises 12no. double height light industrial units (Class B1c / Class B8), which were
constructed in the 1980’s and are arranged across two separate two-storey terraces
which face onto a central access road that runs northwards through the centre of the
Site. The units provide 3,196 square meters (sqm) Gross Internal Area (GIA) and on-site
car parking is currently limited to 23no. spaces, which have access to and from Pratt
Street. There are no statutory listed buildings or structures on the site. A number of
statutory listed buildings and structures surround the site - with the nearest situated on

12
Community Liaison
A neighbourhood consultation process must have been undertaken prior to submission of
the C/DMP first draft.
This consultation must relate to construction impacts, and should take place following the
granting of planning permission in the lead up to the submission of the C/DMP. A
consultation process specifically relating to construction impacts must take place regardless
of any prior consultations relating to planning matters. This consultation must include all of
those individuals that stand to be affected by the proposed construction works. These
individuals should be provided with a copy of the draft C/DMP, or a link to an online
document. They should be given adequate time with which to respond to the draft C/DMP,
and any subsequent amended drafts. Contact details which include a phone number and
email address of the site manager should also be provided.
Significant time savings can be made by running an effective neighbourhood consultation
process. This must be undertaken in the spirit of cooperation rather than one that is
dictatorial and unsympathetic to the wellbeing of local residents and businesses.
These are most effective when initiated as early as possible and conducted in a manner that
involves the local community. Involving locals in the discussion and decision making process
helps with their understanding of what is being proposed in terms of the development
process. The consultation and discussion process should have already started, with the
results incorporated into the C/DMP first draft submitted to the Council for discussion and
sign off. This communication should then be ongoing during the works, with neighbours and
any community liaison groups being regularly updated with programmed works and any
changes that may occur due to unforeseen circumstances through newsletters, emails and
meetings.
Please note that for larger sites, details of a construction working group may be required as a
separate S106 obligation. If this is necessary, it will be set out in the S106 Agreement as a
separate requirement on the developer.
Cumulative impact
Sites located within high concentrations of construction activity that will attract large
numbers of vehicle movements and/or generate significant sustained noise levels should
consider establishing contact with other sites in the vicinity in order to manage these impacts.
The Council can advise on this if necessary.
10. Sensitive/affected receptors
13
Please identify the nearest potential receptors (dwellings, business, etc.) likely to be affected by the
activities on site (i.e. noise, vibration, dust, fumes, lighting etc.).
11. Consultation
The Council expects meaningful consultation. For large sites, this may mean two or more meetings
with local residents prior to submission of the first draft C/DMP.
Evidence of who was consulted, how the consultation was conducted and a summary of the comments
received in response to the consultation should be included. Details of meetings including minutes,
lists of attendees etc. should be appended.
In response to the comments received, the C/DMP should then be amended where appropriate and,
where not appropriate, a reason given. The revised C/DMP should also include a list of all the
comments received. Developers are advised to check proposed approaches to consultation with the
Council before carrying them out. If your site is on the boundary between boroughs then we would
recommend contacting the relevant neighbouring planning authority.
Please provide details of consultation of draft C/DMP with local residents, businesses, local groups
(e.g. residents/tenants and business associations) and Ward Councillors.
There are nearby locally listed buildings, which include: The Golden Lion Public House on the
corner of Royal College Street and Pratt Street; the Prince Albert Public House on the corner
between Lyme Street and Royal College Street; Nos. 120-136 & 140-142 Royal College Street;
Nos. 92-106 Pratt Street and No. 57 Pratt Street.
The Site is not located within a conservation area. The Regents Canal Conservation Area is adjacent to the Site north and east across Georgiana Street and St Pancras Way (respectively).
14
12. Construction Working Group
For particularly sensitive/contentious sites, or sites located in areas where there are high levels of
construction activity, it may be necessary to set up a construction working group.
If so, please provide details of the group that will be set up, the contact details of the person
responsible for community liaison and how this will be advertised to the local community, and how
the community will be updated on the upcoming works i.e. in the form of a newsletter/letter drop, or
weekly drop in sessions for residents.
13. Schemes
Please provide details of your Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) registration. Please note that
Camden requires enhanced CCS registration that includes CLOCS monitoring. Please provide a CCS
registration number that is specific to the above site.
Contractors will also be required to follow the Guide for Contractors Working in Camden. Please
confirm that you have read and understood this, and that you agree to abide by it.
The adjacent sites and neighbouring properties within the area of works were all contacted
prior to the demolition application for St Pancras Court being submitted. All neighbouring
occupiers will be contacted by the Principal Contractor to explain the activities to be
undertaken, the duration of the works and the working hours. The consultation process
(relating specifically to construction impacts) will take place following the granting of planning
permission, regardless of any prior consultations relating to planning matters. A drop in
sessions will also be held on site for the Principal Contractor to demonstrate their methodology
for undertaking the works and discuss any concerns with local ward members, neighbours, and
community groups. Prior to the commencement of the works, a contact telephone number
will be provided. The Principal Contractor will maintain a full-time site contact for the public
and CofL for them to be able to obtain information, register a complaint or request action.
During the works, communication with neighbours and the community liaison groups will be
maintained via a dedicated phone line for complaints, notice boards on hoardings (displaying
contact details for key personnel), emails, meetings, and a regular newsletter with updates on
the progress of the Proposed Development and details of key upcoming activities. Neighbours
will also be specifically informed about any abnormal work or road closures proposed.
There is currently no requirement to establish a construction working group throughout this
phase of the works. This will be monitored throughout the duration of the project.
The principles detailed within section 11 of this document will be applied throughout to
ensure effective communication with neighbouring stake holders.
15
14. Neighbouring sites Please provide a plan of existing or anticipated construction sites in the local area and please state how your C/DMP takes into consideration and mitigates the cumulative impacts of construction in the vicinity of the site. The council can advise on this if necessary.
Transport This section must be completed in conjunction with your principal contractor. If one is not yet
assigned, please leave the relevant sections blank until such time when one has been appointed.
Camden is a CLOCS Champion, and is committed to maximising road safety for Vulnerable Road
Users (VRUs) as well as minimising negative environmental impacts created by motorised road
traffic. As such, all vehicles and their drivers servicing construction sites within the borough are
bound by the conditions laid out in the CLOCS Standard.
This section requires details of the way in which you intend to manage traffic servicing your site,
including your road safety obligations with regard to VRU safety. It is your responsibility to ensure
that your principal contractor is fully compliant with the terms laid out in the CLOCS Standard. It is
your principal contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all contractors and sub-contractors attending
site are compliant with the terms laid out in the CLOCS Standard.
Checks of the proposed measures will be carried out by CCS monitors as part of your enhanced CCS
site registration, and possibly council officers, to ensure compliance. Please refer to the CLOCS
Standard when completing this section.
Please contact [email protected] for further advice or guidance on any aspect of this section.
Confirmed - Prior to commencement of site enhanced registration of the project will be
completed. JFH will target a beyond compliance score for all CCS audits undertaken on this
project. JFH will apply will ensure that the CCS best practice hub is constantly reviewed and
where practicable applied on site.
Please refer to appendix 2 showing the local development sites

CLOCS Contractual Considerations
15. Name of Principal contractor:
16. Please submit the proposed method for checking operational, vehicle and driver compliance
with the CLOCS Standard throughout the duration of the contract.
17. Please confirm that you as the client/developer and your principal contractor have read and
understood the CLOCS Standard and included it in your contracts.
I confirm that I have included the requirement to abide by the CLOCS Standard in my contracts to my contractors and suppliers:
John F Hunt Ltd
Operators shall:
Only use vehicle routes agreed with you and the local London Borough to service your site.
Have additional safety equipment fitted to vehicles over 3.5t. Only use drivers who have
received additional training Safe Urban Driving, e-learning, Van Smart, on cycle awareness,

Allow for loading/unloading on site where possible. Be suitable for a vehicle fitted with underrun bars. Comply with the site CMP Record deliveries and checks in the CLOCS delivery record
17
Please contact [email protected] for further advice or guidance on any aspect of this section.
We confirm that John F Hunt apply with CLOCs standards
18
Site Traffic
Sections below shown in blue directly reference the CLOCS Standard requirements. The CLOCS
Standard should be read in conjunction with this section.
18. Traffic routing: “Clients shall ensure that a suitable, risk assessed vehicle route to the site is specified and that the route is communicated to all contractors and drivers. Clients shall make contractors and any other service suppliers aware that they are to use these routes at all times unless unavoidable diversions occur.” (P19, 3.4.5) Routes should be carefully considered and risk assessed, taking into account the need to avoid where possible any major cycle routes and trip generators such as schools, offices, stations, public buildings, museums etc. Consideration should also be given to weight restrictions, low bridges and cumulative impacts of construction (including neighbouring construction sites) on the public highway network. The route(s) to and from the site should be suitable for the size of vehicles that are to be used. Please show vehicle approach and departure routes between the site and the Transport for London
Road Network (TLRN). Please note that routes may differ for articulated and rigid HGVs.
Routes should be shown clearly on a map, with approach and departure routes clearly marked. If
this is attached, use the following space to reference its location in the appendices.
b. Please confirm how contractors and delivery companies will be made aware of the route (to and
from the site) and of any on-site restrictions, prior to undertaking journeys.
Refer to Appendix 3 – Swept Path Analysis, which demonstrates the intended route to enter
and exit site for the largest delivery anticipated to deliver the excavators to site. All other
plant will enter and exit site
19
19. Control of site traffic, particularly at peak hours: “Clients shall consider other options to plan and control vehicles and reduce peak hour deliveries” (P20, 3.4.6) Construction vehicle movements should be restricted to the hours of 9.30am to 4.30pm on weekdays and between 8.00am and 1.00pm on Saturdays. If there is a school in the vicinity of the site or on the proposed access and/or egress routes, then deliveries must be restricted to the hours of 9.30am and 3pm on weekdays during term time. Vehicles may be permitted to arrive at site at 8.00am if they can be accommodated on site. Where this is the case they must then wait with their engines switched off. A delivery plan should ensure that deliveries arrive at the correct part of site at the correct time. Instructions explaining such a plan should be sent to all suppliers and contractors.
Please provide details of the types of vehicles required to service the site and the approximate
number of deliveries per day for each vehicle type during the various phases of the project.
For Example:
32t Tipper: 10 deliveries/day during first 4 weeks
Skip loader: 2 deliveries/week during first 10 weeks
Artic: plant and tower crane delivery at start of project, 1 delivery/day during main
construction phase project
18t flatbed: 2 deliveries/week for duration of project
3.5t van: 2 deliveries/day for duration of project
Any appointed Contractors will be inducted and advised in advance how they are to access site, and the route they are to take. The Site access / egress points will operate a security pass system, and access to the Site will only be granted after a Site induction has been undertaken. All staff will be required to sign in and out of the Site. Site entrances and exits will be clearly marked with fixed warning signs at the entrance / exit and around work perimeters detailing the potential hazards of the area. Operational areas will be separated from publicly accessible areas using hoardings, barriers, fences or other appropriate equipment. Segregated access or clearly marked diversion routes for pedestrian and vehicle entrances will be provided. Outside of working hours, the Principal Contractor should ensure that Site access points are securely locked and appropriate security provisions set in motion to prevent unauthorised access. The provision of alarms will follow Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
20
b. Cumulative affects of construction traffic servicing multiple sites should be minimised where
possible. Please provide details of other developments in the local area or on the route that might
require deliveries coordination between two or more sites. This is particularly relevant for sites in
very constrained locations.
c. Please provide swept path analyses for constrained manoeuvres along the proposed route.
d. Consideration should be given to the location of any necessary holding areas/waiting points for sites that can only accommodate one vehicle at a time/sites that are expected to receive large numbers of deliveries. Vehicles must not queue or circulate on the public highway. Whilst deliveries should be given set times to arrive, dwell and depart, no undue time pressures should be placed upon the driver at any time.
Demolition:
• Initial delivery of plant and equipment 4 x low loader vehicles.
• 3 to 5 roll on roll of skip deliveries per week.
• 10-30 loads of platform materials to be delivered per day until
Piling:
• Initial delivery of plant and equipment 4 x low loader vehicles.
• Steel reinforcement 2 to 3 deliveries per week
• Concrete 2 to 3 deliveries per day.
Ground works:
• 30 - 60 Muck away vehicles per day during bulk dig.
Deliveries should be managed as per Royal Borough of Camden recommended construction
working hours.
Consideration will need to be given to the peak times of use for these areas and activities
taking place outside of the project. Arrival times will need to be stringently adhered to. A
booking in system by way of delivery board will be implemented from the outset.
Any vehicles leaving the project will be fully sheeted before being released onto the highway
with a Banksman in attendance. The movement of heavy goods through London may be
restricted at certain times.
Refer to appendix 4
21
Please identify the locations of any off-site holding areas or waiting points. This can be a section of single yellow line that will allow the vehicle to wait to phone the site to check that the delivery can be accommodated. Please refer to question 24 if any parking bay suspensions will be required to provide a holding area.
e. Delivery numbers should be minimised where possible. Please investigate the use of construction material consolidation centres, and/or delivery by water/rail if appropriate.
f. Emissions from engine idling should be minimised where possible. Please provide details of measures that will be taken to reduce delivery vehicle engine idling, both on and off site (this does not apply to concrete mixers).
20. Site access and egress: “Clients shall ensure that access to and egress from the site is
appropriately managed, clearly marked, understood and clear of obstacles.” (P18, 3.4.3)
This section is only relevant where vehicles will be entering the site. Where vehicles are to load from
the highway, please skip this section and refer to Q23.
Vehicles entering and leaving the site should be carefully managed, using gates that are clearly
marked and free from obstacles. Traffic marshals must ensure the safe passage of all traffic on the
public highway, in particular pedestrians and cyclists, when vehicles are entering and leaving site,
particularly if reversing.
Traffic marshals, or site staff acting as traffic marshals, should hold the relevant qualifications
required for directing large vehicles when reversing. Marshals should be equipped with ‘STOP –
WORKS’ signs (not STOP/GO signs) if control of traffic on the public highway is required. Marshals
should have radio contact with one another where necessary.
Refer to appendix 3 – Logistics plan
The project is currently demolition and enabling only. Deliveries will be kept to a minimum.
Additional scope may require the Principal Contractor to enter the Construction Phase of the
piling and overall basement construction.
Waste removal and material delivery will be based on ‘just in time’ arrivals, thus reducing any idle time to a minimum for vehicle movements. Site will implement a no idling policy for all delivery vehicles meaning that once on site vehicle will be switched off to reduce idling times. This will be monitored by the traffic management team and site supervision throughout the project.
22
a. Please detail the proposed site access and egress points on a map or diagram. If this is attached, use the following space to reference its location in the appendices.
b. Please describe how the access and egress arrangements for construction vehicles in and out of the site will be managed, including the number and location of traffic marshals where applicable. If this is shown in an attached drawing, use the following space to reference its location in the appendices.
c. Please provide swept path drawings for vehicles accessing/egressing the site if necessary. If these are attached, use the following space to reference their location in the appendices.
d. Provision of wheel washing facilities should be considered if necessary. If so, please provide
details of how this will be managed and any run-off controlled. Please note that wheel washing
should only be used where strictly necessary, and that a clean, stable surface for loading should be
used where possible.
21. Vehicle loading and unloading: “Clients shall ensure that vehicles are loaded and unloaded on-site as far as is practicable.” (P19, 3.4.4) This section is only relevant if loading/unloading is due to take place off-site on the public highway. If loading is taking place on site, please skip this section.
Please refer to appendix 3 – Logistics plan. It refers to the entrance / exit on Pratt street.
During vehicular movement, a banksman will be in attendance controlling pedestrians and vehicle movements within in the site hoarding and as they enter and exit site onto Pratt St. The appointed contractor will be a licensed waste carrier contracted to licensed waste transfer stations with disposals referenced to the site waste management plan.
Please refer to Appendix 3 logistics plan and Appendix 4.
Demolition and pile enabling activities on site will utilise dust suppression systems to reduce the amount of dust produced. This will be continuously inspected. Any drilling or cutting activities will be undertaken using on-tool extraction into a suitable hoover, and water suppression in some instances. General dust will be controlled by a strict housekeeping regime using a water spray and hoovers. Any skips and wagons containing waste will be securely covered and water ‘misted’ as appropriate. Dust monitoring will be carried out at regular intervals, increasing in frequency during works that will inherently generate dust. If the levels of dust particles in the air are deemed unacceptable action will be taken, and measures to avoid, reduce and/or suppress any dust will be evaluated and implemented.
23
a. please provide details of the parking and loading arrangements for construction vehicles with
regard to servicing and deliveries associated with the site (e.g. delivery of materials and plant,
removal of excavated material). This is required as a scaled site plan, showing all points of access
and where materials, skips and plant will be stored, and how vehicles will access and egress the site.
If this is attached, use the following space to reference its location in the appendices. Please outline
in question 24 if any parking bay suspensions will be required.
b. Where necessary, Traffic Marshalls must ensure the safe passage of pedestrians, cyclists and
motor traffic in the street when vehicles are being loaded or unloaded. Please provide detail of the
way in which marshals will assist with this process, if this differs from detail provided in Q20 b.
All vehicles will be loaded and unloaded on site behind the site hoarding. For the off loading
of the excavator to undertake the demolition works, the delivery vehicle will off load the
excavator at the site entrance and suitable carriageway protection such as steel road plates
will be put down to protect from track movement.
Please refer to section 20b

24. Occupation of the public highway
Please note that use of the public highway for storage, site accommodation or welfare facilities is at
the discretion of the Council and is generally not permitted. If you propose such use you must
supply full justification, setting out why it is impossible to allocate space on-site. We prefer not to
close footways but if this is unavoidable, you should submit a scaled plan of the proposed diversion
route showing key dimensions.
a. Please provide justification of proposed occupation of the public highway.
b. Please provide accurate scaled drawings of any highway works necessary to enable construction
to take place (e.g. construction of temporary vehicular accesses, removal of street furniture etc). If
these are attached, use the following space to reference their location in the appendices.
25. Motor vehicle and/or cyclist diversions
Where applicable, please supply details of any diversion, disruption or other anticipated use of the
public highway during the construction period. Please show locations of diversion signs on drawings
or diagrams. If these are attached, use the following space to reference their location in the
appendices.
TBC
Public footways will require temporary closures or diversions when undertaking street work
slit trenches and or demolition in close proximity to the pavement.
These trenches will be required to ascertain existing services in the footpath prior to
demolition of the buildings and the construction of the pile enabling works.
Locations of foot path adaptions are detailed with appendix 3 -logistics plan.
Please see Appendix 3. This may be required to be modified during the demolition and
enabling phase
There is no anticipated road closures for this phase of the project.

26. Scaffolding, hoarding, and associated pedestrian diversions
Pedestrians safety must be maintained if diversions are put in place. Vulnerable footway users
should also be considered. These include wheelchair users, the elderly, those with walking
difficulties, young children, those with prams, the blind and partially sighted. Appropriate ramps
must be used if cables, hoses, etc. are run across the footway.
Any work above ground floor level may require a covered walkway adjacent to the site. A licence
must be obtained for scaffolding and gantries. The adjoining public highway must be kept clean and
free from obstructions, and hoarding should not restrict access to adjoining properties, including fire
escape routes. Lighting and signage should be used on temporary structures/skips/hoardings etc.
A secure hoarding will generally be required at the site boundary with a lockable access.
a. Where applicable, please provide details of any hoarding and/or scaffolding that intrudes onto the
public highway, describing how pedestrian safety will be maintained through the diversion, including
any proposed alternative routes. Please provide detailed, scale drawings that show hoarding lines,

width for vehicle movements, temporary vehicular accesses, ramps, barriers, signage, lighting etc. If
these are attached, use the following space to reference their location in the appendices.
b. Please provide details of any other temporary structures which would overhang/oversail the
public highway (e.g. scaffolding, gantries, cranes etc.) If these are attached, use the following space
to reference their location in the appendices.
27. Services
Please indicate if any changes to services are proposed to be carried out that would be linked to the
site during the works (i.e. connections to public utilities and/or statutory undertakers’ plant). Larger
developments may require new utility services. If so, a strategy and programme for coordinating
the connection of services will be required. If new utility services are required, please confirm
which utility companies have been contacted (e.g. Thames Water, National Grid, EDF Energy, BT
etc.) You must explore options for the utility companies to share the same excavations and traffic
management proposals. Please supply details of your discussions.
A 2.4m solid timber hoarding will be erected around the site boundary. This hoarding will be
designed to relevant standards that take the required load cases into consideration.
Site demolition activities in close proximity to the footpaths and public routes will be
surrounded by a scaffold screen throughout the demolition phase of works (see appendix 3 –
logistics plan for scaffold locations).
This scaffold will be located within the site boundary
None
27
1. local disconnections and isolation to electrical, gas and public health services
currently servicing the building
2. Installation of a power supply for the Temporary Builders supply which will be
required to be developed once the main Contractors power requirements for the
follow-on packages is determined. This may require an excavation in the carriageway
to install appropriate ducting to draw cables to the required position.
28
Environment To answer these sections please refer to the relevant sections of Camden’s Minimum Requirements
for Building Construction (CMRBC).
28. Please list all noisy operations and the construction method used, and provide details of the
times that each of these are due to be carried out.
29. Please confirm when the most recent noise survey was carried out (before any works were
carried out) and provide a copy. If a noise survey has not taken place please indicate the date
(before any works are being carried out) that the noise survey will be taking place, and agree to
provide a copy.
30. Please provide predictions for noise and vibration levels throughout the proposed works.
31. Please provide details describing mitigation measures to be incorporated during the
construction/demolition works to prevent noise and vibration disturbances from the activities on the
site, including the actions to be taken in cases where these exceed the predicted levels.
Demolition of the existing building is the only anticipated noisy working activity. 8.00am to 6pm on Monday to Friday 8.00am to 1.00pm on Saturdays No working on Sundays or Public Holidays
Potentially follow on stages of works - Trimming of piles to formation level will employ a
cropper based system greatly reducing noise output.
The company owns a significant amount of noise, vibration and dust monitoring equipment
which is utilised on all major demolition projects particularly those within city centre
locations. All such equipment is tested and calibrated on an annual basis as a part of the
service contract taken out with the equipment supplier. Those calibration certificates are
held by Thameside Lifting who manage all such equipment
Noise survey will commence from 26th October. A copy will be sent forward for reference.
During demolition and construction enabling, there would likely be a short-term, temporary increase in noise and vibration levels as a result of construction plant, equipment and delivery vehicles. Plant will be tuned off once not being utilised. Potential impacts from noise and vibration include local disturbance to nearby residential/commercial properties and people, potentially leading to loss of productivity and potential damage to structures in the event of significantly elevated vibration levels. This is low risk, however. The appointed Contractor is to confirm expected noise and vibration levels on the project once appointed.
29
32. Please provide evidence that staff have been trained on BS 5228:2009
33. Please provide details on how dust nuisance arising from dusty activities, on site, will be
prevented.
Noise and vibration shall be managed according to best practicable means. The following mitigation measures should be implemented by contractors at all times to minimise noise and vibration generated from Site activities and disruption to any sensitive receptors. Particular attention will be 28 paid to implementing the measures outlined below when operations are undertaken in close proximity to the nearby residential properties. Hoarding and sheeting to public boundaries, potentially with increased height along boundaries with sensitive receptors. Any damaging to the hoarding surrounding the Site will be immediately repaired by the Principal Contractor. Lorry movements limited as far as possible Use of modern plant with inherent noise suppression where available. Use of screens around static plant, and other temporary acoustic barriers where appropriate Switching off idle plant which is not in use Appropriate handling of storage materials Restrictions on working hours and staff to be appropriately trained, particularly for noisy Activities.
Monitoring shall be the responsibility of the Principal Contractor. This will be determined by the nature of the demolition works being undertaken at the Site at a particular time. During phases that have the potential to generate excessive noise and / or vibration, continuous monitoring is likely to be required. However, during quieter periods, monitoring may be undertaken once or twice per day. The results of monitoring will be recorded and retained on Site. Should monitoring identify any exceedance of the noise or vibration Action Levels, or should any complaints regarding noise and vibration be received, additional sample noise and vibration monitoring should be undertaken by the Environmental Monitoring Co-ordinator nominated by the Principal Contractor. Where the results of the monitoring exercises indicate that the Action Levels have been exceeded, the following actions should be undertaken: When activity or activities causing the Action Levels to be exceeded, these will be identified by the Contractor by taking notes on site upon receipt of an exceedance alert to inform retrospective sample monitoring for subsequent discussions with the Environmental Monitoring Coordinator; Investigations will be made to determine whether the activities could be easily changed or other simple actions taken to substantially reduce noise or vibration levels;
• If simple and effective remedial measures are not identified, consideration will be given to the implementation of alternative techniques and/or additional mitigation measures;
• Log the incidents of exceedances along with the identified source and the action taken to mitigate the issue.
• In all cases where Action Levels are likely to be exceeded, neighbours shall be advised in writing to the degree that is appropriate for the levels likely to be reached and their estimated duration.
Refer to Appendix 5 - Training certs for Daniel Sweeney (JFH Environmental Manager)
30
The following mitigation measures will be adopted by the Principal Contractor to reduce and manage dust and other emissions from Site activities and minimise disruption or nuisance to nearby sensitive Receptors. Particular attention will be paid to implementing the measures outlined below when operations are undertaken close to the adjoining residential properties, and once parts of the Site are occupied. A) Pre-project planning and effective management
1. Carry out an environmental risk assessment and monitoring of dust during Site enabling works;
2. Method Statements to include processes for controlling dust; 3. Discussions with stakeholders to confirm what monitoring is required to meet national and
local aims. B) Site works
1. Visual assessment of dust levels will be undertaken by all site personnel at all times to identify where excess dust levels are being generated;
2. Solid barriers will be erected and maintained around the area under development; and 3. Keeping fencing, barriers, scaffolding and screening clean. 4. All site dust levels will be recorded using company owned monitoring equipment located at
pre-determined sensitive areas on and around the site. All information will be managed by a designated person
C) Haulage routes, vehicles and plant 1. Unnecessary vehicle movements and manoeuvring will be avoided; 2. Locate plant and vehicles away from sensitive areas, or housed in closed environments where
possible; 3. Use of plant with low emission levels; 4. Switching off plant when not in use; 5. Provision of easy-to-clean hardstanding for vehicles; 6. Restriction of drop heights onto lorries; 7. Use of gas powered generators rather than diesel if possible; 8. Regular maintenance of engines, plant, maintenance of pumps and bowser jets; 9. Use of wheel-washes or other similar facilities; 10. Regular use of brushes and water sprays on vehicles in heavily used areas; 11. Use of enclosed and sheeted vehicles; 12. Avoid heating with open flame burners; 13. Using water sprays, sand or Hessian to reduce vapour emissions e.g. at major haul routes on
Site; and Use of particle control measures on all machinery which can generate dust e.g vacuums.
D) Materials handling, storage, stockpiles, spillage and disposal 1. Provision of screening during dust generating activities near to commercial and residential
properties adjoining the Site 2. Keeping handling areas clean and free of dust; 3. Employ best available dust suppression techniques to control particle emissions; 4. Control the cutting and grinding of materials on Site; 5. Damping down with water when loading materials onto vehicles, onto conveyors and skips; 6. Storage of fine dry materials in enclosures at all times, or given adequate protection from
wind by sheeting; 30 Ensure that skips are securely covered;
7. Ensure methods and equipment are in place for immediate clean-up of accidental spillages of dusty or potentially dusty materials, using wet handling methods where appropriate; and
8. No burning of waste wood or other materials on Site. In addition to the above, The Control of Dust and Emissions During Construction and Demolition Supplementary Planning Guidance, produced by the Mayor of London in 2014, also requires the Principal Contractor to take into account the impact of air quality and dust on occupational exposure standards to minimise worker exposure, and breaches of air quality objectives that may occur outside the Site boundary, such as by visual assessment. The Principal Contractor must ensure that all plant and vehicles are in good state of repair and
conform to the manufacturers’ specifications or legislative / British Standard Emission Standards. Plant maintenance and defect reports shall be held on Site in a designated file.
31
34. Please provide details describing how any significant amounts of dirt or dust that may be spread onto the public highway will be prevented and/or cleaned.
Refer to question 33
32
35. Please provide details describing arrangements for monitoring of noise, vibration and dust levels, including instrumentation, locations of monitors and trigger levels where appropriate.
36. Please confirm that an Air Quality Assessment and/or Dust Risk Assessment has been undertaken at planning application stage in line with the GLA policy The Control of Dust and Emissions During Demolition and Construction 2014 (SPG), and that the summary dust impact risk level (without mitigation) has been identified. The risk assessment must take account of proximity to all human receptors and sensitive receptors (e.g. schools, care homes etc.), as detailed in the SPG. Please attach the risk assessment and mitigation checklist as an appendix.
Monitoring shall be the responsibility of the Principal Contractor. Final details of dust monitoring are to be agreed with Camden. The Principal Contractor will determine the prevailing wind direction across the Site using data from a nearby weather station and identify which location(s) need to be monitored. The number of automatic particulate monitors will be confirmed by the Principal Contractor and will be set up to measure representative PM10 levels. These instruments should provide data that can be downloaded in real-time by the Local Authority. The dust monitor should also provide an alert to Site Management, such as in the form of an alarm or text message when the action Level has been exceeded. It is also recommended that an alert level below the Action Level should be incorporated into the alarm system, to allow issues surrounding elevated dust levels to be dealt with prior to the Action Level being reached. – Please also refer to appendix 9 for the Site dust monitoring strategy. 31 Where the results of monitoring exercises indicate that the Action Levels have been exceeded, work should stop immediately and the following steps will be undertaken by the Principal Contractor:
• Identify the activity or activities causing the Action Level to be exceeded;
• Investigate whether the activities could be easily changed or other simple actions taken to substantially reduce dust levels;
• If simple and effective remedial measures are not identified, adopt alternative techniques and / or additional mitigation measures, until the problem is rectified;
• In all cases where Action Levels are likely to be exceeded, undertake liaison with neighbours and Camden.
• to the degree that is appropriate for the levels likely to be reached and their estimated duration; and,Log the incidents of exceedances along with the identified source and the action taken to mitigate the issue.
• This log should be available for review by CofL at all times.
The local community will be informed in writing of proposed Site operations, and potentially disturbing operations will be programmed for times that would minimise any impacts. Ongoing visual inspection of the Site will be undertaken at all times by the Principal Contractor. If dust clouds are observed, action should be taken immediately, notwithstanding dust monitoring measurements.
33
37. Please confirm that all of the GLA’s ‘highly recommended’ measures from the SPG document relative to the level of dust impact risk identified in question 36 have been addressed by completing the GLA mitigation measures checklist.
38. Please confirm the number of real-time dust monitors to be used on-site.
Note: real-time dust (PM10) monitoring with MCERTS ‘Indicative’ monitoring equipment will be
required for all sites with a high OR medium dust impact risk level. If the site is a ‘high impact’ site, 4
real time dust monitors will be required. If the site is a ‘medium impact’ site’, 2 real time dust monitors
will be required.
The dust monitoring must be in accordance with the SPG and IAQM guidance, and the proposed dust
monitoring regime (including number of monitors, locations, equipment specification, and trigger
levels) must be submitted to the Council for approval. Dust monitoring is required for the entire
duration of the development and must be in place and operational at least three months prior to the
commencement of works on-site. Monthly dust monitoring reports must be provided to the Council
detailing activities during each monthly period, dust mitigation measures in place, monitoring data
coverage, graphs of measured dust (PM10) concentrations, any exceedances of the trigger levels, and
explanation on the causes of any and all exceedances in addition to additional mitigation measures
implemented to rectify these.
Inadequate dust monitoring or reporting, or failure to limit trigger level exceedances, will be
indicative of poor air quality and dust management and will lead to enforcement action.
39. Please provide details about how rodents, including rats, will be prevented from spreading out from the site. You are required to provide information about site inspections carried out and present copies of receipts (if work undertaken).
Refer to Appendix 6 – Environmental Management Plan
Refer to Appendix 6 – Environmental Management Plan
4 real time dust monitors will be situated on site.
34
40. Please confirm when an asbestos survey was carried out at the site and include the key findings.
41. Complaints often arise from the conduct of builders in an area. Please confirm steps being taken to minimise this e.g. provision of a suitable smoking area, tackling bad language and unnecessary shouting.
42. If you will be using non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) on site with net power between 37kW and 560kW it will be required to meet the standards set out below. The standards are applicable to both variable and constant speed engines and apply for both PM and NOx emissions.
From 1st September 2015 (i) Major Development Sites – NRMM used on the site of any major development will be required to meet Stage IIIA of EU Directive 97/68/EC (ii) Any development site within the Central Activity Zone - NRMM used on any site within the Central Activity Zone will be required to meet Stage IIIB of EU Directive 97/68/EC From 1st September 2020 (iii) Any development site - NRMM used on any site within Greater London will be required to meet Stage IIIB of EU Directive 97/68/EC (iv) Any development site within the Central Activity Zone - NRMM used on any site within the Central Activity Zone will be required to meet Stage IV of EU Directive 97/68/EC
Please provide evidence demonstrating the above requirements will be met by answering the following questions:
The Principal Contractor will utilize bait traps to prevent rodents spreading out from the site. The contractor will keep monitoring and re-baiting traps once a week.
Refer to appendix for asbestos report that was carried out 6th June 2019
In the event of a complaint from a neighbour, a member of the public or Camden Pollution Control Team in relation to any site activity, it will be recorded in a designated logbook, stating the nature of the complaint, the cause and, where appropriate, the remedial action taken. Sub-contractors shall immediately notify the Principal Contractor should they receive any complaints. The Principal Contractor will mark out designated smoking area provisions and all staff including operatives and visitors will be briefed on this once entering site. Site inductions will also focus on the site image both of the Principal Contractor and the Client. Bad language will not be tolerated and any reports of foul language or unnecessary shouting shall be dealt with by the Project manager

Introduction
As part of the redevelopment of the St Pancras Commercial Centre, John F Hunt (JFH) has been
asked to produce an Environmental Management Plan for this project. The project will involve the
controlled asbestos removal, soft strip, demolition of existing buildings and removal of the existing
reinforced concrete ground floor slab. The ground will then be prepared for the installation of a
piling mat for perimeter piles including probing to an agreed depth.
The purpose of this EMP is to describe and detail the measures proposed to minimise and mitigate
the environmental impact of the asbestos removal, soft strip and demolition works. Specifically, the
EMP sets out:
• To ensure that construction industry best practice standards are adopted throughout the
entire demolition and construction process.
• To ensure that the impact of the project on neighbours and the surrounding area will be
suitably controlled.
• To confirm that where impacts upon neighbours and stakeholders cannot be avoided, the
EMP demonstrates the commitment of the Company to undertake the demolition activities in such a
way as to avoid or minimise any environmental effects and provides a mechanism for the
implementation of recommended mitigation and monitoring measures throughout demolition
operations.
There is considerable environmental legislation that applies to the works that will be undertaken.
Prior to the demolition and construction works, all relevant legislation, including requirements for
47 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
licenses, permits and/or consents, shall be identified and the Company, as appointed Principal
Contractor, will provide details of how compliance is to be achieved as noted within this EMP

Scope of Works
Works to be undertaken:
• Site Setup, logistics and perimeter hoardings
• Following vacant possession and the completion of pre-construction activities, the site will
be set up.
Assume duties of principle contractor including:
• Establishment of site hoarding to a height of 2.4m.
• Provision of site security, fire safety and emergency response planning.
• Establishing and providing ongoing welfare facilities.
• Coordination and control of subcontracted elements of works.
• Site logistics planning and access / egress strategy (including vertical access e.g haki stairs or
similar).
• Temporary works management.
• Lighting throughout project.
• Development and review of safe systems of works.
• Development and delivery of site induction for both operatives and visitors.
• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and local stake holder liaison and management.
Demolition of structure:
• Scaffold protection
• Dust suppression
• Material crushing and removal from site / redistribution to form pile mat
• Soft strip
• Noise, dust and vibration monitoring.
• Management of lifting equipment
52 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Works on site will start with the demolition of the existing buildings, including the removal of the
existing reinforced concrete ground floor slab as well as any ground beams. The ground will then be
prepared for the installation of a piling mat for perimeter piles. Prior to any piling, the exact position
of the existing Thames Water sewer will need to be confirmed.
Depending on the ground conditions and ground water level on Site, 600mm diameter secant or
combination of secant and contiguous piled wall will be installed around the perimeter of the site to
form the basement walls. The depth of the new secant piled walls will be between 12m and 30m
below ground level, depending on the final selection.
Once the perimeter piles have formed a basement retaining wall, the site will be reduced down by
excavation of bulk material via demolition tipper wagons. Where ground contaminants are found,
these may be sorted / made safe on site prior to removal. Recent site investigations have indicated
the presence of contaminants within the ground, which are shown in the Soiltechnics Ground
Investigation Report , undertaken earlier this year.
Ground works / piling including:
• Management of the permit to break ground system
• Pile probing and removal of obstructions.
• UXO risk management.
• Management of any potential contamination within excavated materials.
• Installation of pile mat to an approved TW design.
• Construction of secant pile wall.
• Provision of pile attendance including spoil management / removal.
• Excavation of basement to formation level.
• Removal of excavated materials including any potential contaminated materials from site via
licenced contractors.

Type of Noise
Airborne Noise
The breaking of concrete will be mainly through the use of hydraulic munchers as opposed to
percussive measures to reduce the impact of structure-borne vibration and noise. This will still
subsequently produce airborne noise, however, this will be less intrusive.
Ground-Borne Noise
There will be some element of slab removal so there will be ground-borne vibration and noise
transmission, however as there are no receptors directly adjoining the site, this will be reduced over
the distance to the receptors. The shortest distance between the slab removal and sensitive
receptor is 15m, however if there is excessive noise and vibration created as a result of this works,
then the slab will be isolated prior to any further works to reduce ground borne transmission.
Structure Borne Noise
There are no adjoining structures and a distance of at least 15m between site and receptors along
with a road and pavement.
Description of the noisy activities and operations
The demolition of the above ground structures will be undertaken by 47/20T demolition
specification excavators working from the ground bearing slabs. The excavators will be equipped
with concrete crackers, grabs and shears.
64 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
All excavators will be controlled by experienced machine operatives and will have a dedicated
banksman in attendance at all time.
Dust control systems will be installed prior to the demolition commencing to damp down the
works and mitigate the spread of dust beyond the site boundary.
The excavator will demolish the structure in a predetermined sequence bay by bay. Initially
the front wall will be removed between two columns to allow access into the structure. The first
floor slab where present will be broken out. The excavator will then shear the truss and column
connections and lower it to the ground floor slab for processing. This process will be repeated until
several bays demolished. The flank walls will then be folded in and the external columns broken out.
The perimeter walls are left to last to leave an added
level of protection to the boundary whilst the internal structure is demolished.
This process will continue until all structures are safely removed.
Suitable arisings will be stockpiled on site ready for crushing later. All other materials to be removed
from site and taken to waste transfer stations for further processing and recycling.
Once one block has been completed, the removal of the ground floor slabs and existing foundations
to a max depth of 2.0m around the perimeter of the site (as shown on the attached plan) will
commence.
An excavator fitted with hammer attachment will “pepper” the slab to crack the concrete and break
it up. The machine operative will then change attachments to a riper tooth and/or bucket. The slabs
will then be pulled up and stockpiled for processing and crushing.
Once the ground bearing slabs are removed the excavator will dig down the side of the
existing foundations and pull them out. Depending on the size of the existing foundations
an element of breaking may be required. Any voids created will be backfilled with site won
crushed materials to level the site.
65 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Noise Impact on existing residents
The noise impact on the existing residents will be reduced as best as reasonably practicable. This has
been thought of during the design stage and will be further implemented on site. As mentioned
previously we will limit the use of percussive breaking to reduce nuisance noise which will be a
greater impact than using the muncher/cracker attachment.
In addition to this, noise reduction has been programmed into the original method of demolition. By
using a combination of breaking and hydraulic munching we significantly reduce structure borne
noise. Preliminary liaison has been implemented with the local community, there will be regular
newsletter drops and community liaison meetings, the allows for any issues that residents may face
to be mitigated.
The noise predictions and baseline readings imply that noise respite areas will not be necessary
during the proposed works. Our noise predictions do not predict that these levels will be exceeded
and therefore respite areas are not included within this document
Noise / Dust / Vibration Management Plans
Air Quality Management Plan
An Air Quality Assessment has been carried out by Air Quality Consultants on the site in August
2019, and then again in October 2020. it had determined the risk of the site during demolition as
medium. appendix 10 of this document includes the new report.
Figure 11. Table 8 of Air Quality Assessment August 2019
66 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
As part of this assessment, specific measures to Demolition have been identified to implement,
which are detailed below and have been built into the methodology.
Soft strip inside buildings before demolition (retaining walls and windows in the rest of the building
where possible, to provide a screen against dust).
ensure water suppression is used during demolition operations.
avoid explosive blasting, using appropriate manual or mechanical alternatives; and
bag and remove any biological debris or damp down such material before demolition.
To ensure the previously described impacts are minimised the following control measures will be
implemented in addition to the above during the demolition project:
• Those demolition work areas generating dust will be liberally damped down by the
controlled use of fire hose supplied fine water sprays
• All demolition waste lorries will be sheeted over prior to leaving site
• Any demolition waste stockpiles will be damped down during any dry dusty days
• Where required site routes around the demolition areas and traffic routes that become
dusty will be damped down by water sprays supplied from towed water bowsers.
• Wheel washing facilities will be fitted by the site exit to reduce the dirt and dust from leaving
site.
• All site plant and waste collection lorries engines will be maintained in a fully serviced
condition to ensure there are no smoke emitting exhaust pipes
• To minimise the emission of exhaust particulates all site plant will operate on Low Sulphur
diesel fuel, and all diesel-powered road vehicles and waste lorries will be required to provide
confirmation of the use of commercially available Low Sulphur diesel and be fitted with catalytic
converters and are fitted with Euro Group classification diesel engines
• The movement of all commercial vehicles particularly waste lorries to and from the site will
be pre- planned to prevent unnecessary vehicle movements
• All contained refrigerant gases or other hazardous substances having an adverse impact will
be removed by a specialist licensed sub-contractor for disposal in accordance with the hazardous
waste regulations, at no time will venting to atmosphere of such materials be allowed
• At no time will substances or chemicals be used on site which are likely to produce offensive
odours
67 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• At no time will the burning of any demolition materials be allowed on site
• All Fibrous asbestos containing materials will be removed under fully controlled conditions
within constructed containments by a licensed asbestos removal contractor
• All Firmly Bonded asbestos containing materials including asbestos cement products will be
removed in accordance with the HSE Asbestos Essentials Tasks Manual. The Asbestos Cement
Sheeting removal will also be in accordance with HSE Guidance HSG 189/2 Working with Asbestos
Cement
To establish any potential asbestos fibres in air release during the asbestos removal works a UKAS
accredited laboratory (Asbestos Consultants Europe Ltd) will be employed to carry out regular spot
check background and personnel asbestos fibre in air monitoring with all readings recorded.
All asbestos containing materials will be removed in accordance with developed Method Statements
and Risk Assessments.
Noise Control Management Plan
To ensure the previously described impacts are kept to a minimum the following control measures
will be implemented for the duration of the project:
• All demolition works will be undertaken by plant using ‘quiet’ hydraulic powered demolition
pulverising attachments thus minimising the use of percussive impact breakers
• The scaffolding will also be clad using Soundex screening on the areas in which demolition is
occurring, this will reduce site noise emissions by up to 28dB
• Each section of the project will be planned to ensure all noisy working requirements are
identified along with the timescales so such information can be advised to all concerned parties.
There will be no site working during any anti-social hours
• The use of fully serviced plant with fully operational exhaust systems
• Ensuring all plant engine covers are kept closed at all times
• All site plant not in use will be shut down and not left idling on site
• All provided site generator plant will be of the new ‘whisper’ operational type
68 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• The shouting out of instructions on site will be strictly forbidden, all site management and
supervisors will be issued with site communication radios
• There will be no noisy working during any ‘anti-social’ hours or hours determined by the
contract or in liaison with the London Borough of Camden Environmental Protection Team
• The playing of radios etc on site will be strictly forbidden at all times
• The sounding of vehicle hooters on site or in any adjacent street will be strictly forbidden at
all times
• No commercial vehicles will be allowed to park in the adjacent streets waiting for access to
the site, particularly with engines left ‘ticking over’
• Where possible all site plant will be effectively silenced and located in such areas of the site
so as to cause the minimum amount of noise migration to areas beyond the site boundary.
• Maximum noise generation levels will be determined for each major item of plant from such
information as supplied by manufacturers or company noise monitoring records. This will enable
the potential level of noise generation to be anticipated.
• Where appropriate to minimise noise emissions from within the building work areas all
glazing will remain in place for as long as possible
• There will be no site activities or plant engines started or lorry movements to and from the
site made before 8am and not after 6pm
• All plant deliveries and collections plus all waste management requirements will be
coordinated to ensure the noise impact from all such vehicle’s movements on the community is kept
to a minimum and is within agreed times. This will be particularly relevant to the unloading and
collection heavy plant.
Vibration Management Plan
To ensure these impacts are kept to a minimum, the following control measures will be
implemented for the duration of this demolition project:
• Prior to the demolition commencing, where required debris pads can be constructed around
the work areas to enable rubble to drop onto the pad, and not onto any slab which will act as a
conductor of vibration to many adjacent areas.
• Where achievable all operating demolition plant e.g. excavators will operate standing on
constructed debris pads
69 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• All waste lorries will be loaded by excavators operated by competent plant operators with
the debris placed into the vehicle and not dropped in
Noise / Dust / Vibration Monitoring
Background Noise Levels
Noise, Dust and Vibration background levels have been recorded from a nearby John F Hunt site (77
Welbeck Street W1G 0BB) which is located 2.8km from the St Pancras Campus Site. This will give us
an indication of background noise until further testing on site can be carried out. The timeframe of
the background data is during the 2019 Christmas break (22.12.20 – 5.1.20) to ensure that no site
activity contributed to the noise, dust, or vibration levels.

From the predicted noise levels shown above, we can see the most at risk properties are the
residential properties on St Pancras Way, with the highest risk being during the final phases of the
project. These levels are under 75dB(A) over a 10hr period. It will be crucial to give prior warning to
these residents and monitor noise daily to ensure that the predicted levels are not exceeded and if
they are exceeded by +3dB then to carry out an investigation and notify the Council.

Environmental Management Plan
Figure 19. Background Vibration Data from nearby JFH Site
Where there is minimal vibration predicted from this method of works, due care will still be taken to
ensure the protection neighbouring buildings. Vibration has been designed out during the method
stage through use of hand breakers for the demolition of the upper floors and adjoining buildings,
and then the use of small machinery with hydraulic munching equipment attached for the
demolition of the ground floor. This along with isolating the building from the neighbours and
reducing any material drop heights will ensure minimal impact on the local environment.
Noise, Dust and Vibration Monitoring
All noise monitoring systems (NDV) are all linked with the same online software for ease of use and
continuity, all data is automatically sent to the online server (https://app.sonitussystems.com/) –
shown in Figure 20 below, and can be accessed at any time by any of the project team. The trigger
levels, that will be agreed with Camden Council through the Section 61 Agreement will also be
controlled from this system. This allows for a two-tier alert system (Amber and Red Exceedance) to
be automatically sent to the appropriate site team via SMS or email to warn of any potential
breaches in these limits. This will then prompt an investigation into the source of the exceedance
and identify any necessary mitigating actions.
Where the measured noise levels are more than 3 dB (A) above the predicted noise levels or in the
event of a complaint of noise an investigation shall be carried out to ascertain the cause of the
exceedance or the complaint and to check that Best Practicable Means are being used to control the
noise in accordance with the steps set out in the application for ‘prior consent’.

Monitoring Locations
Noise monitoring will be located on the Eastern elevation hoarding, this will be at the safest access
to power and will not be in the way of the demolition to ensure that the maximum protection is
given to the local residents. This will also ensure that there is sufficient protection to the locals who
will be most likely working from home during this period. The Sound Level Meters use will be Class 1
IEC 61672-1:2002 and record in LAeq, LA90, LA10, LAFMAX continuously.
78 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Vibration monitoring will be placed along the party wall shared with the building of Middlesex house
as this is the highest risk area due to the adjoining structure.
Dust monitoring will be placed on the hoarding where possible at a height of between 1.5 and 4m as
per the IAQM Guidance This will be supplemented by handheld monitoring if required in the event
of a complaint. A minimum of two Aeroqual dust sentry PM10 monitors (optical analysers, which
utilise light scattering of particulates), which are MCERTS accredited for PM10 measurements

Actions to be taken following Site Action Level Exceedance:
Amber Exceedance:
Where an Amber exceedance occurs due to site activity, the site manager will monitor site emissions
relevant to the alert and where necessary review methods of working. The site manager will also
79 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
assess whether remaining work could continue to exceed the Amber threshold and if so, modify
working methods, where practicable.
Red Exceedance
Where a Red exceedance occurs due to site activity, the site manager will stop the relevant activity
whilst alternative construction methodology options are investigated, and where practicable
adopted. If effective remedial action is not obvious, the site will consider an alternative technique or
additional mitigation measures.
Complaints
Where a complaint is received, an investigation will be undertaken to establish whether the
exceedance is due to site activity. Where this is established, the site manager will adopt the process
set out above for the receipt of an Amber or Red exceedance. Where a complaint is received, details
of the complaint, measured PPV mms/dB/ug m^3 levels, the source and remedial action taken will
be logged
All monitoring and measurement units will be calibrated and serviced in line with their
manufactured guidelines
Rodent Control
During the induction operatives will be briefed on housekeeping rules and the dangers that may
arise from poor housekeeping. If necessary, rat/rodent traps will be laid across site and
housekeeping inspected weekly at a minimum. Further toolbox talks on the importance of reducing
the spreading of rodents will be carried out when necessary.
A specialist contractor will be approached to lay strategically placed traps around the perimeter of
the site. These traps will be monitored and emptied as required. The presence of rodents can cause
a health hazard to workers. Leptospirosis is a disease that is closely linked to rats. Gloves are to be
worn at all times whilst on site. Strict hygiene must be adopted by everyone on site with hands being
thoroughly washed prior to eating, drinking and smoking. If you feel yourself becoming ill with flu

like symptoms it is extremely important that you go to the doctors and mention you may have been
in contact with rodent waste.
Community Liaison
John F Hunt Limited will ensure the effective liaison with the neighbouring properties, adjacent residents, and
local community by utilisation of such means as:
Circulated newsletters and newsletters placed in information boxes located outside the site entrances
(Example newsletter below in Figure 22.)
Site information meetings between company site management and representatives from all adjacent
neighbours and other interested parties
When appropriate undertaking in small numbers site tours of the site
Information boards mounted at the site entrances which will provide details of the following information.
Clients Details
Principle Contractors details
Nature and duration of project.
Principal milestones of the project
Site operating times
Site management names and contact details
The company will ensure a level of courtesy is maintained by all site personnel at all times to all local residents,
site visitors and the passing public particularly females. This will also relate to any member of the ethnic
communities as any form of racial discrimination, verbal abuse, or incitement will be viewed as a serious
breach of this company’s policies. The company will ensure that at no time will any site personnel will be
allowed in any public area wearing tee shirts with offensive slogans on them. At no time will any site personnel
be allowed to sit outside the site in any public area during working hours whilst wearing site clothing. The
company will ensure that no site personnel will be allowed to leave site and in particular travel on public
transport wearing site clothing. All site clothing shall be changed to domestic clothing prior to leaving site
Any site person receiving a concern or complaint from adjacent properties or passing pedestrians shall refer
the matter immediately to the site demolition manager who will record the fact and refer the matter to the
management team who will then carry out an investigation. The site project manager will oversee all
compliant investigation and the end results shall be recorded in the site diary.

Environmental Management
All site management, operatives and subcontractors will be advised of the requirements of this
Environmental Management plan as part of their site induction provided by the Site Project Manager
and will be required to achieve compliance with its aims and requirements.
This company will also maintain regular liaison all relevant authorities and environmental
consultative resources available to ensure this Environmental Management Plan remains effective
and compliant.
In undertaking the work the company aims to maximise the requirements of sustainable
development within the sites new construction. This will be achieved by meeting the basis of
sustainability which is “The meeting of the needs of the present without comprising the ability of
future generations to meet their needs”. It’s the efficient use of resources and energy today without
compromising future primary resources for others.
John F Hunt Limited will contribute to this by:
• Returning to the new construction of the site, and the construction industry in general by
recovery for reuse or recycling the highest amount of materials from what was originally used on
site. So maximising the use of secondary materials and minimising the use of primary resources.
Therefore achieving an increase in resource efficiency so reducing redevelopment costs for the new
construction and the projects overall environmental impact
• The monitoring and reduction of energy and water use on site
• The monitoring and reduction of emissions from site and from all those vehicles coming and
going from the site
• Assessing and continuously improving the company’s environmental performance on site

Managing the Site Environmental Impacts
The following provides details how the identified site Impacts will be managed on site by the John F
Hunts’ Management Team.
The visiting Group Safety & Environmental Manager will also assess the implemented impact control
measures as part of his regular site safety inspections.
All employed sub-contractors for this project will be advised of the contents of this Environmental
Management Plan and will be required to ensure compliance with its contents and sign up to the
requirements of the company Environmental Management policy.
Getting to Site
All site operatives, subcontractors and visitors will be advised to attend the entrance to the site. A
summary of public transport modes is described below.
Underground: Camden Town (7 min walk).
Overground Station: Camden Road (4 min walk).
Bus: 46 bus will stop on Royal College Street.
Security on Site
To secure the site, security cabins and entry control system controlling access will be established and
operated at all times:
• Only authorised persons will be allowed on site.
• A Site Risk Assessment will be produced which will detail how security will be managed on
the site.
97 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• Any person identifying unauthorised personnel on-site should contact the Site Manager who
will take appropriate action and ensure the unauthorised person leaves the site safely.
• All entry and exit points will be manned during operational hours, and any access/egress

From 1st September 2020
(iii) Any development site - NRMM used on any site within Greater London will be
required to meet Stage IIIB of EU Directive 97/68/EC
(iv) Any development site within the Central Activity Zone - NRMM used on any site
within the Central Activity Zone will be required to meet Stage IV of EU Directive 97/68/EC
Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) is a broad category which includes mobile machines, and
transportable industrial equipment or vehicles which are fitted with an internal combustion engine
and not intended for transporting goods or passengers on roads.
99 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
NRMM, particularly from the construction sector, is a significant contributor to London’s air
pollution. The NRMM Low Emission Zone uses the Mayor and London Borough’s planning powers to
control emissions from NRMM used on construction sites.
As this site is within the Greater London Zone all plant will meet at least stage IIIB.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry supply chain, the availability of
machinery that meet the Stage IV Standard are limited and therefore there is currently a time
limited exemption of six months between 1st September 2020 and 28th February 2021 for the
existing requirements.

All wastewater from the site welfare facilities shall flow through fixed connections to the
appropriate drains.
All active drainage points within and adjacent to the site will be clearly identified and where
necessary a means of water filtration installed around them.
All waste water from the on-site asbestos personnel de-contamination units will pass through
installed propriety waste water filters before entering the drainage system
At no time will any dust control water sprays be allowed to generate a flow of runoff water. All such
water spray operations will be controlled and managed by appointed site personnel in attendance at
all times.
Demolition site damping down water run-off and all other wastewaters will be disposed of in
accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Agency and the London Borough of Camden
Corporation
The site will identify then regularly inspect all on-site drainage systems and those adjacent to the site
boundary and will ensure that they are maintained in an efficient state of repair and remain free of
contamination and are not providing a potential means of rodent access.
A specialist waste contractor will be employed to dispose of any hazardous liquid wastes found on
site and disposed of in accordance with those regulations

Fire
Where there is a risk of fire on site, and where a controlled burn is likely to be inappropriate by the
local fire department, then a further risk of water runoff to existing drainage systems will exist.
Guidance from the NFCC Fire Central Programme Office has been sought and the below hierarchy
will be implemented in the case of fire. The below states the order in which mitigation to be
implemented only if safe to do so.
Hierarchy Activity Description 1 Containment at
source The most effective intervention point is where the source of pollution can be controlled to stop or reduce the volume released. Methods include the use of clay seal putty, leak sealing devices, wedges, and drums. Contaminated fire water will ideally be contained at an incident scene either inside the building or as close to it as possible.
2 Containment close to source
The next point of intervention is as close to the source as possible. This may be when it is not possible to contain at source or where there has already been significant loss of pollutant. Methods include the use of grab packs, booms and pop-up pools.
3 Containment on the surface
The most common way for contaminants to enter the environment is via drainage systems. Methods to prevent this include the use of booms, clay drain mats, pipe blockers, pumps, and flexi-dams.
4 Containment in drainage system
Pollutants may be contained in drainage systems if they have already entered the system. This can be carried out using inbuilt pollution control devices in the drainage systems such as oil separators, drain closure valves and containment lagoons/tanks and ponds. Such a system should allow predictable volumes of run-off to be stored, although allowance should be made for rainfall and how well systems have been maintained. Portable equipment such as pipe blockers can also be used.
5 Containment on or in watercourse
The deployment of booms on a watercourse downstream of an incident is of significant benefit where a pollutant floats.
107 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Damming can be used where pollutants are mixed or do not float but is normally restricted to small ditches and streams with low flows. Booms can also be deployed around drinking water intakes.
Spill Control
Chemical Spillage on Site
To minimise the risk of ground contamination all plant operators will be required to clean up any
small fuel or oil spillage immediately as it happens.
Control measures from a significant fuel, oil or chemical spillage will be implemented by a
designated Site Spillage Team appointed by the Site Project Manager who will use liquid absorbent
materials such as granules and fine sand. This will be stored at a designated location on site.
In the event of a significant fuel or oil spillage the following actions will be implemented:
1. The incident will be reported immediately to the Site Project Manager.
2. The Site Project Manager will notify his Site Spillage team who will then collect all the
required materials from the designated storage area and proceed to the spillage area.
3. They will then implement measures to initially prevent the spread of the spillage. Particularly
to any drainage point.
4. COSHH information to be checked then implement measures to clear the spillage.
5. All collected waste materials will then be placed into the appropriate waste receptacles such
as oil drums for disposal off site as hazardous wastes.
6. All such incidents will be recorded on a Site Incident Report a copy of which will be
forwarded to the company Health, Safety and Environmental Manager and Client Environmental site
representative for their reference.
108 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
To ensure ground contamination is kept at a minimum the following standards will be actioned:
1. All diesel storage and refuelling areas will be on a hard standing which will be covered in
absorbent granules and have their own fire points or alternatively a site refuelling tanker will be
employed.
2. A hard-standing plant service and repair area for the servicing and maintenance of all site
plant. This whole area will be covered in absorbent granules and will be changed on a regular basis.
3. Any liquid escape or spillage such as an oil leak will be cleaned up immediately by the
designated site personnel acting as a site spillage team observing COSHH controls.
4. Hazardous substances are to be placed in or on a bund to contain any leaks.
5. All standing plant will have drip trays placed underneath them.
In the event of a significant environmental pollution occurrence the Client Environmental
management will be advised they in turn will inform the relevant Pollution Control Team and if
necessary the PLA and Environment Agency.
COVID – 19 on site
See revision 007 JFH COVID response plan, attached to the Construction Phase Plan
Waste Management and Recycling
The waste management strategy will have the aim to maximise secondary material use within the
new construction of the site and within the construction industry and also to lessen the demand on
primary resources so producing an increase in resources efficiency. This project will adhere to the
Waste hierarchy at every opportunity and aim to maximise the material reused and recycled at
Tottenham Mews.
109 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
The following duty of care information shall be recorded on workspace (including those of all sub‐
contractors removing waste):
Copies of all waste carrier licences
Copies (including originals) of all waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment notes
Copies of all facilities (permits/exemptions)
Key waste contractors facilities to be visited and documented
Demolition Sic Code (43110)
All of the above information will be recorded in the Site office and will be available on request.
Pre-Demolition Audit
A Pre-Demolition audit of the site was carried out on 1st February 2019 by WPS, this has identified
the key demolition products (KDP) and their recycling or reuse potential. This audit has identified a
potential income/saving of £93,716 or 3,725 tonnes. Three KDPs have been identified in this audit
Inert (concrete) with ceramics (brickwork),
Metals,
Timber
The total weight of inert materials amounts to 3,097.57 tonnes, recommendations from this report
suggest “Reclamation of some bricks could be attempted, but their condition does not guarantee
success due to age, quality and location and their reclamation value would be small. The recycling of
demolition arisings, such as brick, to produce recycled aggregates is now a mainstream activity
usually driven by the cost benefits to be made (Demolition Protocol, 2008).”
From Case study results from implementing the Demolition Protocol (2008) indicate that close to
100% recycling performance can be achieved for concrete and masonry once a soft strip of the
buildings has been completed.
110 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Figure 28. Breakdown of Recover options
The report has identified an economical potential of £93,716 total across inert, metal and timber
materials, detailed in the figure below.
Figure 29. Economical Potential
JFH will apply the waste hierarchy (shown in the figure below) throughout the project duration and
will give priority to reuse and recycling. Due to the nature of the demolition industry there is little
scope
111 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Figure 30. Waste Hierarchy
Figure 31. Hierarchy applied to a range of common materials.
All delivery and waste collections will be planned and timed and will form part of the overall Traffic
and Logistics plan for the project, which will be developed and managed by Barry McShane (Project
Manager). This will ensure that collaborative working is practiced with the current live site adjacent
this project. As the site has a tight spatial constraint then this will ensure that multiple lorries are not
waiting to access site and therefore blocking the local roadways.
112 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
All non-hazardous wastes will be removed and placed into open waste bins which will be located
within their own area within the lower ground basement level. Such non-hazardous wastes will
consist of:
• All soft strip materials
• Fixtures and fittings
• Ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Plaster board with a sulphate content of more than 10%
• All generated reinforced concrete waste
• Office furniture and carpeting
Hazardous Materials
Where any hazardous waste is to be handled for disposal this shall be carried out in accordance with
developed risk assessments, and where a potential hazardous waste cannot be identified then an
waste management company or consultants will be employed to determine what the substance is,
the required control measures for handling it, means of transportation and method of disposal. For
the asbestos removal, JFH Environmental have been employed and will work in the method detailed
in the CPP.
All identified hazardous wastes will be removed and placed into separate secure and sealed waste
bins which will be located within their own area within the lower ground levels

Waste Storage
• All waste containers will be signed to show the accepted waste stream (including EWC code)
• Different waste streams will be segregated to aid in maximising reuse and recycling rates
• Containers and skips shall be enclosed or secured as required to prevent waste from
escaping and pests/rodents getting access.
• Hazardous waste will be stored separately from inert and non‐hazardous waste, and
different hazardous waste will not be co‐mingled
• Hazardous waste shall be stored in a specific area and stored in suitable containment where
required.
• Storage of waste shall be on impermeable hard standing and positioned away from drains.
• Consideration shall be given to position the waste storage area away from receptors near to
the main compound. This will also reduce noise impact during bin emptying or skip exchanges.
• Exemptions for storing waste onsite shall be obtained as required.
• Registration as a hazardous waste producer is no longer a requirement in England
Waste Disposal
• Full environmental permits, exemptions or other evidence will be obtained and checked to
ensure that disposal locations can accept the waste type to be sent there, and in the quantity
required
• All waste transfer notes / hazardous waste consignment notes are to be checked before
signature to ensure all required information is recorded before the waste is removed
• All waste duty of care information and waste movements will be captured in Site Waste
Management Plan
115 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• Where feasible, inert waste from demolition and construction will be crushed in line with
the WRAP Quality Protocol for the Production of Aggregate from Inert Waste and reused either on
site or transported for use at other construction sites
All Hazardous wastes will be disposed of in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations Duty
of Care Consignment Note procedures and removed by a licensed hazardous waste removal
company for disposal at the appropriate licensed hazardous disposal site. If there are any flammable
gases present as part of the initial site survey then they will be disposed of in accordance with HSG
168 – Fire safety in construction.
Materials Storage
Materials used in the demolition process such as fuel oil, chemicals, cleaning materials and paint
have the potential to cause serious pollution. The Environment Agency’s Pollution Prevention
Guidance and other relevant guidance will be followed during the handling and storage of such
materials.
Plant and equipment will be stored in areas which are less susceptible to possible pollution
incidents, or on dedicated areas of hard standing. All static plant shall be placed with drip drays to
prevent ground contamination as a result of oil spills and leaks.
Refuelling of plant will occur in designated areas on an impermeable surface and away from any
drains or watercourses. Appropriate numbers of spill kits will be available for use in the event of an
accident. Refuelling will always be carried out in a controlled manner with absorbent materials
available to clean up any spillages. All deliveries on site will be monitored during delivery to prevent
overfilling and to ensure that the product is delivered to the correct tank.
A bunded storage area will be located on-site and will be provided for the duration of the demolition
period for the storage of oils, fuels, chemical and other hazardous demolition materials. The base
and bund walls will be impermeable to the material stored and will be of adequate capacity.
Storage containers will be clearly labelled. Storage areas and containers will be protected against
vandalism and unauthorised access. All containers on site will be adequately ventilated.
116 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
Leaking or empty oil drums will be removed from the site immediately and disposed of via a licensed
waste disposal contractor.
Procedures will be set in place to respond to any emergency incidents which may occur on site. All
appropriate staff will be trained and made aware of the spill contingency plan set in place. In the
event of an incident the Environment Agency will be notified immediately.
Records – Site Waste Management Plans
All waste information will be recorded on a Site Waste Management Plans which will assist in
providing information for the End of Project Report and any BREEAM requirements the client may
have and an aid for acting as a checklist so as to minimise the landfill destination of generated

Environmental Management Plan
Figure 32. Preliminary UXO Report (https://zeticauxo.com/)
There is no UXO survey available as part of this EMP so a provisional desktop survey (above) shows
the risk of the site, the below procedure will be implemented if there any UXO are discovered as part
of the pile probing and pile mat installation works.
Unexpected Discovery of UXO during pile probing
Upon discovery of any UXO’s or UXB’s work is to stop and the employee discovering the unearthed
ordnance is to contact the PM immediately.
All work shall stop and the area evacuated and cordoned off with warning signage displayed.
The UXO Specialist shall survey the area without putting themselves at risk to confirm the find.
118 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
The UXO Specialist shall contact the Police using the emergency services contact number 999 and
inform them of the discovery.
The PM shall contact the Contracts Manager, MD and the company Senior Health and Safety
Manager informing them of the discovery.
The PM and all site personnel shall take direction from the Police once they arrive on site.
No further work on site shall progress until it has been confirmed safe to proceed by the Police and

Weather
As the programme of works is due over the winter periods between January 21 and April 21, there is
low risk of prolonged periods of dry and windy weather so therefore the risk of dust soiling of nearby
119 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
properties will be lower. The areas of demolition will also be damped during the works to further
reduce this risk.
There will be adequate drain protection from water runoff and/or prolonged periods of high rainfall
which has the potential to cause increased runoff. If there are high levels of wind predicted, then
there will be increased safety inspections of any scaffolding to ensure they are fit for purpose. If
there are periods of high snowfall, below freezing temperatures then the site will be provided with
salt/grit facilities to reduce the risk of ice build up and slurry to be formed from the demolition
arisings.
There are a number of resources available on the metoffice that will assist in predicting any adverse
weather such as;
Windrose report
Rainfall analysis report
Mean Frost Index
Asbestos Removal
The Asbestos removal in this project is detailed in the Construction Phase Plan and Plan of works for
the asbestos removal. All asbestos containing material will be disposed of in accordance with
hazardous waste regulations as mentioned in section 4.5.
Air monitoring and 4 Stage Clearance.
Before works commence, background air monitoring to establish the current base level.
Visual inspection before work starts to determine any damage to the internal asbestos insulation
board and potential cross contamination.
2 days per week air monitoring, covering personal monitoring, leak tests and boundary testing. On
completion of the enclosure works (potentially 2 enclosures) 4stage clearance
Tree Protection
120 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment was carried out on the site in July 2019 by Tim Moya
Associates. This showed that the overall development is to lose 14 C Category trees, 2 number trees
(TC2 and TC3) will be removed to facilitate the entrance to the site on Pratt Street, whilst the
remaining will be protected with physical barriers to be removed at a later stage in the
development.
Figure 33. Tree Locations
Contaminated Land
From a contamination perspective, Soiltechnics compared the chemical testing results with a
‘commercial / industrial’ end use. This assumed that the proposed basement will extend across the
entire footprint of the site i.e. the ‘source’ will be removed as part of the redevelopment works
(mixed end use). No exceedances of relevant criteria were noted.
Contamination levels are consistent with the historic land use.
Visible asbestos was noted in locations across the site. As part of the additional ground
121 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
investigation 14 samples were screened for asbestos, 9 of which returned positive results
for amosite, chrysotile and crocidolite (fibres / bundles). One sample was sent for quantification,
which returned a concentration of 0.001% wt/ wt
Given the site history and the frequency of asbestos fibres and debris note, it is likely that asbestos
will be present across the entire site. On the basis the Made Ground will be removed to
accommodate the basement, the potential risk to the proposed end user is negligible. However,
appropriate mitigation measures will be required to be implemented for construction workers.
To minimise the risk of ground contamination on site the following control measures will be
implemented which will be actioned by designated site personnel using liquid absorbent materials
such as granules and fine sand, which will be stored at a designated location on site. All such wastes
from clearing a spillage incident will be placed into the appropriate waste container such as an oil
drum which will then be removed from site for disposal as Hazardous Waste.
To ensure ground contamination is kept at a minimum the following standards will be actioned:
All diesel storage and refuelling areas will be on a hard stand which will be covered in absorbent
granules and have their own fire points
An area on site will be designated the plant service and maintenance area where it will be covered in
absorbent granules
Any liquid escape or spillage such as an oil leak will be cleaned up immediately by the designated site
personnel acting as a site spillage team
All standing plant will have drip trays placed underneath them
To ensure that ground contamination is kept at a minimum a plant service and repair area will be
allocated on an easily accessible section of hard stand large enough to accept all sizes of site plant
and visiting maintenance vehicles.
To minimise the risk of ground contamination all plant operators will be required to clean up any
small fuel or oil spillage immediately
122 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
For any risk of ground contamination on site from a significant fuel or oil spillage the following
control measures will be implemented by a designated Site Spillage Team who will use liquid
absorbent materials such as granules and fine sand, which will be stored at a designated location on
site.
In the event of a significant fuel or oil spillage the following actions will be implemented
The incident will be reported immediately to the Site Project Manager
The Site Project Manager will notify his Site Spillage team who will then collect all the required
materials from the designated storage area, load into a site van and go to the spillage area
They will then implement measures to initially prevent the spread of the spillage. Particularly to any
drainage point. Then implement measures to clear the spillage.
All collected waste materials will then be placed into the appropriate waste receptacles such as oil
drums for disposal off site as hazardous wastes
All such incidents will be recorded on a Site Incident Report a copy of which will be forwarded to the
company Group Safety and Environment Manager and Principal Contractor for their reference
To ensure ground contamination is kept at a minimum the following standards will be actioned:
All diesel storage and refuelling areas will be on a hard stand which will be covered in absorbent
granules and have their own fire points. Or alternatively a site refuelling tanker will be employed as
previously discussed
Any liquid escape or spillage such as an oil leak will be cleaned up immediately by the designated site
personnel acting as a site spillage team
All standing plant will have drip trays placed underneath them
In the event of a significant environmental pollution occurrence the Principal Contractor,
Environment Agency and the London Borough of Camden will be advised immediately
Inspections
To ensure that all the requirements of this site Environmental Management Plan and Company
Environmental Management and Asbestos Management Polices and compliance with legislation
regular unannounced site safety and environmental inspections will be undertaken by the Company
123 St Pancras Campus

Environmental Training
The raising of environmental awareness is viewed as a crucial element in the appreciation and
implementation of the EMP. This EMP will be distributed to members of the project team, including
suppliers and subcontractors as necessary to ensure that environmental requirements are
adequately communicated.
JFH as Principal Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all people on-site are provided with
relevant information concerning environmental protection and will operate a system whereby all
staff and operatives receive a site specific safety and environmental induction prior to starting work
on-site.
The training requirements of Company staff will be monitored via individual appraisals and through
4 weekly Health, Safety and Environmental Planning meetings. At these meetings the forthcoming
operations will be discussed in detail, including the standard and level of training required of site
operatives and subsequently the individual needs of the staff. Training records for staff will be held
on a central database and made available through regional offices.
Induction for Vehicle Drivers will include:
• Road safety for public and site roads including speed restrictions and defensive driving;
• Site procedures including queuing and parking – notably that there will be no queuing on
public roads, and managed within the site boundary;
• Cyclist awareness video;
• Environmental issues and processes required for their minimisation, including noise and
vehicle cleanliness leaving site; and
• Discussion on potential hazards and risk reduction.
All company personnel will be provided with Environmental awareness training by the following
means
• Regular circulation of the relevant environmental information from Company Safety &
Environment Manager obtained from such sources as Environment Agency Website
125 St Pancras Campus
Environmental Management Plan
• Issue of Company Environmental Policy and induction talks on its contents
• Attending Environmental Awareness training provided by such resources as
o Company Environmental Consultants
o Environment Agency
• Site specific Induction Talks given by the Safety and Environment manager and the issue of
this Environmental Management Plan
• Prior to each demolition work package commencing those employees and subcontractors
involved in the works shall attend a safety talk given by site management which shall include the
relevant environmental management requirements
The responsibility for the successful site environmental management will be the ultimate
responsibility of the John F Hunt Site Project Manager aided by his site Demolition Managers
achieving the requirements of this Environmental Management Plan and the Company
Environmental Management Policy working together with the Principal Contractor Site
Management.
The John F Hunt Site Project Manager will be responsible for the daily management of all demolition
environmental management documentation such as, noise, dust and vibration monitoring registers,
wastes records, incident reports, information for the end of project report, and in the daily
management of the Site Waste Management Plan. He will be aided by the visiting SEQA
administrator who will attend site on a regular basis
At the end of the project the John F Hunt Site Project Manager will produce a company “End of
Project Report” which will include all relevant safety and environmental information for the client’s
site safety file which will be issued via the Principal Contractor to the CDM Coordinator

This guide explains the Section content of the survey report. Failure to use the information provided in the report correctly may result in incorrect information or assumptions being obtained. Section 1.0 Executive Summary The Executive Summary contains details of the scope and extent of the works. The reader must ensure that the scope covers the required areas and that any variations do not impact on any proposed works or management of the site. All areas of no access should be considered as containing asbestos until proven otherwise. Recommended Actions provides a summary of all identified and presumed asbestos containing materials (ACMs). ACMs are listed by recommendation with those requiring urgent attention listed first. The Asbestos Register presents ACMs by building, floor & location. It provides a detailed list of all locations included within the survey where positive samples have been taken or items are presumed to contain asbestos. Items physically sampled will show the asbestos type within the analysis column. Items cross referenced (strong presumption) have their asbestos type determined by the sample result of materials of similar appearance and use that have been sampled elsewhere on site. These will show the analysis proceeded by X. Strongly Presumed samples are items that the surveyor was unable to sample but the materials are similar in appearance and use to known asbestos-containing materials and hence they are confirmed as containing asbestos. Presumed items are those that the surveyor was unable to sample or inspect adequately to confirm the presence of asbestos, as such there is a potential for asbestos being present and the item is presumed to contain asbestos. A Material Assessment algorithm has been completed for all positive samples. Recommendations within this report are based on the condition of the asbestos and the Material Assessment. Section 2.0 Introduction The Introduction provides a general overview of the purpose, aims and type of survey undertaken. It also presents Project particulars and Quality Assurance. Section 3.0 Methodology & Limitations of Method This section details the survey methodology adopted and the specific scope of the survey works agreed with the client. Within Refurbishment Surveys access will generally involve intrusive investigations as agreed with the client. The specific limitations for the survey are detailed within the table. Should any variations occur against the agreed scope then details of these will be given within the table. These will be agreed with the client at the time of the survey. Section 4.0 Survey Findings – Survey Data Sheets Survey Data Sheets contains detailed information on all suspect items with a photographic record of each item. Section 5.0 Survey Findings – Location Register Location Register summarises location by location all identified and presumed asbestos, all areas of no access and limited access, and all recorded non-asbestos materials Section 6.0 – Survey Findings – Certificate & Schedule of Bulk Samples This section provides analysis information and results of all samples taken. Appendices 1 & 2 - Definitions & Recommended Guidance & Material Assessment algorithms These contain a general guidance relating to Samples, Assessments and Recommendations and a detailed Risk Assessment explanation.

The brief for these works was to carry out a Refurbishment Survey (as defined in HSG 264) for the presence of asbestos containing materials within the following locations:
1.1 Scope of Works:
Refurbishment survey to units 7, 8 & 9 The scope of the survey should be noted in conjunction with all agreed exclusions and any additional access limitations. Additional limitations may affect the validity of this report and additional works may be required in order to ensure the report is fit for purpose.
1.2 Recommended Actions Detailed below is guidance on actions to be taken to prevent potential exposure to ACMs. There is a specific requirement in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (regulation 7) for all ACMs to be removed as far as reasonably practicable before refurbishment works are carried out. It is acknowledged however that the works may not be carried out immediately and the ACMs on site need to be managed. The ACMs identified have been given a risk assessment rating as detailed in the material assessment section further within the report. As the survey type undertaken was a Refurbishment survey, all identified asbestos materials have been recommended for removal. Please contact Life Environmental Services Ltd. for advice in dealing with any asbestos in poor, unsealed or damaged condition or for assistance in developing your management plan and scheduling re-inspections.
Remove
Asbestos that is redundant, in a poor condition or has the potential to be easily damaged, has been identified. It is recommended that these items are removed by an Approved or Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor.

2.0 Introduction
Version 11, May 2018 Life Environmental Services Issue No. 1
Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 10 of 57
2.1 Purpose and Aim of survey The purpose of this Refurbishment Survey is to help the duty holder identify asbestos in these premises, prior to any refurbishment in accordance with HSG 264 and CAR 2012. It provides sufficient information to help the tendering process for removal works prior to any work starting, however it is strongly recommended that any asbestos removal should be undertaken against a detailed specification. We further recommend the appointed removal contractor should attend the site to confirm for themselves the quantities and location of asbestos to be removed, prior to costing. Life Environmental Services Ltd cannot guarantee the quantities identified are accurate and they shouldn’t be used for pricing removal works. The aim of a Refurbishment Survey is to: 1. Locate and record the location, extent and product type, as far as reasonably practicable, of known ACMs, along with
an estimate of their quantity.
2. Determine and record the asbestos type based on sampling, or by making a strong presumption based on comparison to other samples.
2.2 Type of survey – Refurbishment Survey Refurbishment Surveys are intended to locate all asbestos within the building or under the scope of the survey (refurbishment). It is a disruptive, fully intrusive survey that involves destructive inspection techniques that penetrate the building structure extensively. This involves breaking into floors, through walls, into wall voids, ceilings, cladding, boxing etc. as necessary to gain access to all areas, including the inner fabric of the building. A full sampling programme is undertaken to identify possible ACMs and estimate their quantities. All areas have been accessed as far as is reasonably practicable. Any areas that it was not possible to access have been presumed to contain asbestos and documented within this report.
This survey involved sampling and analysis to confirm the presence or absence of asbestos; however presumptions may also have been used within this report to presume the presence of ACMs. This Refurbishment Survey includes a Material Assessment of the identified or presumed ACM’s, these assessments are explained in the following sections of this report. It is recommended that further intrusive inspection and sampling be carried out where site refurbishment, maintenance, or similar may disturb ACMs that have remained inaccessible during this survey; this should be a Refurbishment Survey as described in HSG 264.

2.3 Project Particulars Life Environmental Services Ltd received an order of confirmation to undertake a Refurbishment Survey from Blackburn & Co. Project Services Limited. This order has been accepted on the basis of the original Quotation and Survey Plan and our terms and conditions of business. All subsequent information provided by the client or ascertained otherwise was assessed during planning stage of the project and a suitable Plan of Work produced. Where information was provided regarding the presence of known or presumed asbestos materials then this has been validated during the course of the survey, and recorded within this report. This survey was carried out in accordance with documented in house procedures and HSE Guidance document HSG 264. Scope of Works: Refurbishment survey to units 7, 8 & 9 Site Description: Refurbishment survey to three linked industrial units. Brick built circa 1980s. 2.4 Quality Assurance:

For safety reasons it is not possible to inspect internal areas of live electrical items, heating, ventilation, or mechanical plant and machinery without isolation of such services. Whilst all areas of the building included within the scope of the survey will be accessed and inspected as far as reasonably practicable, Life Environmental Services Ltd cannot be held responsible for asbestos potentially present in areas of the building not explicitly specified within the client instruction, not indicated on provided site plans or not physically possible to access. Although every care has been taken to identify all asbestos containing products within the areas surveyed, this survey does not include those areas where obtaining a sample would cause undue damage to the integrity and security of the building, risk the safety of our operatives or where access could not be gained. Asbestos should be presumed to be present within any areas not surveyed until a further assessment can be carried out. It is important to note that the degree of inspection performed during an asbestos survey is not as detailed as the inspections and analytical processes carried out following the removal of ACMs. Visual inspections during clearance procedures involve a detailed examination of all areas and surfaces within an asbestos enclosure and although a survey should identify ACMs within an area where inadequate asbestos removal activities have been previously undertaken, it is not designed to check on the effectiveness of such inspections. Where previous asbestos removal work has taken place, reference should also be made to clearance documentation when reading this report. The survey includes taking dust samples from areas where contamination is suspected to be present due to visible signs of damage to asbestos or signs of previous asbestos removal works but does not include random dust sampling.
Where suspect materials are identified as part of any works that do not appear to be detailed within the survey report then these materials should be treated with caution and presumed to contain asbestos until sampled and analysed. Decorative coatings and paints etc. (such as “Artex”) may contain a trace quantity of Chrysotile asbestos. Due to this low asbestos content, applications of this product may be non-homogenous and may elicit both positive and negative sample results. Where both positive and negative samples are obtained the client should presume that the textured coatings contain Chrysotile throughout even though a non-detected result has been obtained. It should also be noted that asbestos may exist in paint with no obvious textured appearance. Random sampling of such paint is not carried out routinely unless specifically requested. Due to the non-homogenous nature of some thermal insulation products it is possible to obtain both a positive and negative result when sampling the same material. In instances where this occurs then all sample results for the given insulation type should be treated as containing asbestos. This applies to all thermal insulation and insulation residues and debris.
Materials have been referred to as Asbestos Insulating Board or Asbestos Cement based upon their appearance alone. Water absorption testing, as detailed within L143, has not been carried out unless stated otherwise.
Where asbestos gaskets to pipe flanges have been identified it is not practical to trace these throughout the length of pipework within the property. All such gaskets are presumed to contain asbestos. Unless specifically identified within the report, no responsibility can be accepted for stored or portable items of asbestos. Whilst all asbestos materials have been identified as far as is reasonably practicable, some asbestos materials may remain unidentified within the fabric of the building. This includes ACMs concealed by suspect items. Unless specifically identified within the report, no responsibility can be accepted for non-systematic or random use of asbestos within the property. It must be presumed that asbestos may remain unidentified to these types of areas and if suspect materials are uncovered then samples should be taken for analysis.
Material extents are approximations only, assigned by the surveyor at the time of the survey. It should be noted that such extents may be for specific, visible amounts of the asbestos item and not for the complete amount. As such, the stated extents should not be used as a basis of any Scope or Specifications of Works for that item. It is recommended that any proposed abatement/removal of the asbestos should be undertaken against a detailed specification, therefore Life Environmental Services Ltd cannot be held responsible for any misinterpretation of the contents of this report by a third party if they were not instructed to provide a specification. This report does not include investigations into land contamination associated with asbestos or any other contaminant. Life Environmental Services Ltd makes every effort to locate and identify all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs), within the scope of the agreed inspection brief, supplied by the client. Due to the nature of Asbestos distribution and uncontrolled

usage within buildings built prior to 1999, Life Environmental Services Ltd will not accept any liability for claims arising from post survey, hidden or unidentified ACMs, or contamination arising from their subsequent disturbance. Whilst all asbestos materials have been identified as far as is reasonably practicable, some asbestos materials may remain unidentified because they are buried within the fabric of the building. Potential locations are as follows:
Shuttering buried within concrete slabs Asbestos hidden by structural supports Asbestos hidden behind other suspect products Building structures which are unsafe to fully access
It must be presumed that asbestos may remain unidentified to these types of areas. If suspect materials are uncovered during demolition, contact should be made with Life Environmental Services Ltd to arrange for samples to be taken for analysis.

Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 52 of 57
Level of Identification Sample (S) A physical sample was taken on site by the Surveyor and analysed by the laboratory. Cross reference (X) No sample was taken but the material is visually similar to a sample that has been analysed from the survey. This is a form of Strong Presumption as defined in HSG264. Strongly Presumed (SP) No sample was taken but due to the appearance of the material and with the surveyor’s knowledge and experience the material has been identified as containing asbestos. Presumed (P) No sample was taken and therefore due to this lack of information the material or item must be presumed to contain asbestos. This will often be because the item could not be sampled due to excessive height (such as soffits) or an item could not be inspected (or sampled) as this may have presented a risk to the Surveyor (e.g. opening up live plant and electrics). No access areas are also treated as a presumption. Inspected Area (IA) This illustrates that a particular area within a room has been inspected and no suspect materials were identified. It is an opportunity for the surveyor to photograph and record that a particular element has been inspected without the need to sample. This will usually be during a refurbishment survey. Non-suspect items The surveyor will record non-suspect items as part of the survey. This will include non-asbestos materials which can be confused as containing asbestos by those who have less experience of ACMs. This will include non-asbestos boards (e.g. Supalux and Vermiculite), modern vinyl products, modern bitumen products, etc. The surveyor may record other non-asbestos items as determined during the course of the survey. Non-asbestos boards will also be sampled periodically throughout the building to confirm they are non-asbestos. In rooms where there are no non-asbestos items and no suspect items to record the surveyor will record ‘All Areas/Items – No Suspect Materials Seen’ this illustrates that the surveyor has inspected all areas of the room as far as is reasonably practicable in accordance with the survey scope and has deemed the room asbestos free. Non-suspect items are recorded within the Location Register in Section 5. Floor All ACMs are detailed by location number, with the relevant floor given by numerical value. However, in instances where a room or location is present over more than one floor (e.g. Staircases and Lift Shafts) the floor may be detailed as ‘Multiple’. Hence when reviewing the Asbestos Register to gain an overview of an entire floor, it is necessary to consult two sections of the register, firstly the relevant floor, secondly any ‘Multiple’ locations that may be present. Recommendations The various recommendations given within this report are explained below:- Remove If an item is recommended for removal it has either sustained damage and is posing an increased risk in its current condition; or due to its location it is considered high risk as it could easily be disturbed in the future. Materials recommended for removal will be given one of the following recommendations:- Removal by Licensed Contractor. This will include removal of AIB, Insulation, and Spray Coatings and is likely to be subject to a 14 day notification to the HSE, (as per the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012). Removal by Approved Contractor. This will include removal of lower risk materials such as Asbestos Cement, Bitumen Products, Reinforced Composites, and Floor Tiles etc. Some such works may be considered Notifiable Non-Licensed Works.
Appendix 1 – Definitions & Recommended Guidance
Version 11, May 2018 Life Environmental Services Issue No. 1
Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 53 of 57
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 does not necessarily require such removal works to be undertaken by a licensed contractor. However it is good practice, and we would strongly recommended that all removal works are undertaken by a licensed contractor. Restrict Access Materials have been identified that are in a damaged condition often with associated debris that can be easily disturbed. As such access to the area should be prevented to all persons until such a time when the area has been deemed safe for reoccupation. This will usually be once removal works have been completed. No Access – Inspection Required Access to the given location was either not possible at all or only limited access was possible. In both instances there is the potential for unidentified asbestos being present and as such the area must be treated as containing asbestos until full access is possible. Arrangements should be made at the earliest opportunity to revisit locations where access was not possible or access was limited in order that such areas can be inspected fully. Items and materials that are presumed to contain asbestos will also be given the recommendation of ‘No Access – Inspection required’. In these instances the item or material should be treated as containing asbestos until arrangements can be made to access such items or materials in order to carry out an inspection or sample to confirm or otherwise the presence of asbestos. No Recommendation Required Asbestos has not been identified and as such no further action is required.
Recommended Guidance
To comply with and ensure that the requirements of section 2 & 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (as amended) 1974, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 are met, the following recommendations should be implemented: Undertake suitable and sufficient Risk Assessments of identified ACMs against normal occupation and maintenance operations, in compliance with Regulations 3 of the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and Regulation 6 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The findings of the survey be brought to the attention of those persons who are likely to come in contact with asbestos, in compliance with Section 2 and 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (as amended) 1974 and Regulation 9 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Implement an Asbestos Management Policy, Plan and review process in compliance Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. During the course of the survey it may not have been possible to access all areas of the site. Details of areas requiring further access is identified within the Data Sheets and Executive Summary of this report. In accordance with HSG 264, asbestos is presumed to be present within these areas and should be treated accordingly until further inspection and analysis of building fabric and services proves otherwise. Where asbestos debris or asbestos in poor condition has been found it is recommended that access is restricted to these areas in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and that air monitoring is carried out within adjacent areas in order to assess airborne fibre levels. All identified asbestos to be appropriately identified and subject to Risk Assessment, management, and re-inspection.

Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 54 of 57
Site specific recommendations in respect to the location and condition of asbestos materials identified during the course of this inspection are detailed in the Survey Data Sheets and Asbestos register. In considering the management of asbestos materials identified to date, these recommendations should be referred to and complied with. It is recommended that work on, or removal of, both licensed and non licensed ACMs is undertaken by a licensed asbestos removal contractor so that the Duty Holder / Client can have confidence that the contractor has provided the correct level of training and has the experience and knowledge necessary to deal with these products safely. It is a requirement of CAR 2012 that further intrusive investigations and sampling be carried out where any refurbishment, maintenance, or similar activity is planned that may expose asbestos materials. This should be a refurbishment survey as documented by HSG 264. The findings of this report should not be solely relied upon in obtaining costs for proposed asbestos abatement work. Any proposed abatement/removal of the asbestos should be undertaken against a detailed specification.
Appendix 2 – Material Assessment Algorithms
Version 11, May 2018 Life Environmental Services Issue No. 1
Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 55 of 57
Where ACMs have been identified or presumed to be present a Material Assessment Algorithm has been calculated as detailed in HSG 264 and reproduced in line with the table overleaf. The Material Assessment is an assessment of the condition of the ACM, or the presumed ACM, and the likelihood of it releasing fibres in the event of it being disturbed in some way. For each of the four variables given by the table a score is allocated. The four scores are added together to give a Material Assessment score of between 2 and 12. HIGH RISK 10-12 Materials with scores of 10 or more should be regarded as high risk with a significant potential to release fibres if disturbed; MEDIUM RISK 7- 9 Those materials with a score between 7 and 9 are regarded as medium risk to release fibres. LOW RISK 5-6 Materials with a score between 5 and 6 are low risk to release fibres. VERY LOW RISK 4 or less Scores of 4 or less are very low risk.
Section Sample Variable Score Examples of Score
A Product type (or debris from product).
1 Asbestos reinforced composites (plastics, resins, mastics, roofing felts, vinyl floor tiles, semi rigid paint or decorative finishes, asbestos cement, etc.).
2 Asbestos insulating board, mill boards, other low-density insulation boards, asbestos textiles, gaskets, ropes and woven textiles, asbestos paper and felt.
3 Thermal insulation (e.g.: pipe and boiler lagging), sprayed asbestos, loose asbestos, asbestos mattresses and packing.
B Extent of damage/ deterioration.
0 Good condition: no visible damage.
1 Low damage: a few scratches or surface marks; broken edges on boards, tiles, etc.
2 Medium damage: significant breakage of materials or several small areas where material has been damaged revealing loose asbestos fibres.
3 High damage or delamination of materials, sprays and thermal insulation. Visible asbestos debris.
C Surface Treatment
0 Composite materials containing asbestos: reinforced plastics, resins, vinyl tiles.
1 Enclosed sprays and lagging, AIB (with exposed face painted or encapsulated), unsealed cement sheets, etc.
2 Unsealed AIB, or encapsulated lagging and sprays.
3 Unsealed lagging and sprays.
D Asbestos type
1 Chrysotile.
2 Amphibole asbestos excluding Crocidolite.
3 Crocidolite.
Material Assessment Score = A + B + C + D
Appendix 2 – Material Assessment Algorithms
Version 11, May 2018 Life Environmental Services Issue No. 1
Refurbishment Survey B-86516 - Units 7,8, 9 St Pancras Commercial Centre Page 56 of 57
The Material Assessment identifies the high risk materials, that is, those which will most readily release airborne fibres if disturbed. It does not automatically follow that those materials assigned the highest score in the Material Assessment will be the materials that should be given priority for remedial action. Management priority must be determined by carrying out a Risk Assessment which will also take into account the likely maintenance activity; occupant activity; likelihood of disturbance; and human exposure potential.

1.0 Introduction
This report has been commissioned in support of the full planning application made on behalf
of Westminster Real Estate Ltd (the Applicant) to demolish the existing industrial site and
provide new build office, residential and commercial accommodation at 63 Pratt Street.
Hann Tucker Associates have therefore been commissioned to undertake a detailed
environmental noise survey to determine the currently prevailing noise climate around the site,
the results of which will be used in future design assessments.
This report presents the methodology and findings of our noise survey.
2.0 Objectives
To establish by means of a detailed survey (fully covering both daytime and night-time periods)
the existing environmental noise levels around the development site. The survey data will form
the basis of any subsequent analysis to establish the sound reduction performance specification
for the external building fabric elements.
The survey data will also be used, with reference to Local Authority requirements, to
recommend noise emission limits for the future building services plant operation.
To undertake a noise assessment to determine the suitability of the proposed development for
residential use, based on the results of the unmanned survey in accordance with the NPPF and
Local Authority requirements.
To prepare a report presenting our survey findings and interpretation of the results.

For an explanation of the acoustic terminology used in this report please refer to Appendix A
enclosed.
5.0 Methodology
The surveys were undertaken by Rodrigo Espinosa-Garcia MSc, BEng(Hons) AMIOA and Piret
Libene MSc, BSc (Hons) AMIOA.
5.1 Unmanned Surveys
5.1.1 Procedure
Fully automated environmental noise monitoring was undertaken from approximately 12:30
hours on Tuesday 4 September 2018 to approximately 12:30 hours on Monday 10 September
2018.
Site location
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 4
Further fully automated environmental noise monitoring was undertaken from approximately
14:15 hours on Monday 18 March 2019 to approximately 11:15 hours on Thursday 21 March
2019.
Owing to the nature of the surveys, i.e. unmanned, it is not possible to accurately comment on
the weather conditions throughout the survey periods. However at the beginning and end of the
both survey periods the wind conditions were moderate. The sky was generally clear. We
understand that generally throughout the survey periods the weather conditions were similar to
this.
Measurements were taken continuously of the A-weighted (dBA) L90, Leq and Lmax sound
pressure levels over 15 minute periods.
5.1.2 Measurement Positions
The noise level measurements were undertaken at four positions around the development site.
The measurement positions are described in the table below.
Position No Description
1
The sound level meter was located at ground level to the north of the development site. The microphone was attached to a pole and this to a fence, overlooking
Georgiana Street, approximately four metres from ground level and approximately one metre from the façade.
2
The sound level meter was located at the façade to the east of the development site. The microphone was attached to a pole and this to the existing pipes, overlooking St
Pancras Way, approximately two and a half metres from ground level and approximately one metre from the façade.
3 The sound level meter was located at ground level to the south of the development site. The microphone was attached to a pole and this to a fence, overlooking Pratt
Street, approximately two and a half metres from ground level.
4
The sound level meter was installed inside a small security box with the microphone protruding approximately 6cm out of the box. The security box was fixed to a lamp post on Royal College Street with the microphone at a height of approximately 4m above ground level. In order to minimise the effect of the box, the microphone was
orientated vertically downwards such that it was not screened from the road.]
These positions are shown on the following plan.

completion of the surveys. No significant changes were found to have occurred (no more than
0.1 dB).
Each sound level meter was located in an environmental case with the microphone connected
to the sound level meter via an extension cable.
Each microphone was fitted with a manufacturer windshield.

7.0 Discussion Of Noise Climate
Due to the nature of the surveys, i.e. unmanned, it is not possible to accurately describe the
dominant noise sources, or specific noise events throughout the entire survey periods. However
at the beginning and end of the survey periods the dominant noise sources were noted to be
road traffic from the road network and noise from the adjacent UK Power Networks.
8.0 Relevant Planning Policies and Guidance
8.1 Noise Policy Statement for England
The Noise Policy Statement for England (NPSE) was published in March 2010. The NPSE is
the overarching statement of noise policy for England and applies to all forms of noise other
than occupational noise, setting out the long term vision of Government noise policy which is
to:
“Promote good health and a good quality of life through the effective management of noise
within the context of Government policy on sustainable development.”
Site location Manned Measurement Position
1 2
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 10
That vision is supported by the following aims of the revised NPPF (see section 8.2 below).
The Explanatory Note to the NPSE has three concepts for the assessment of noise in this
country:
NOEL – No Observed Effect Level
This is the level below which no effect can be detected and below which there is no detectable
effect on health and quality of life due to noise.
LOAEL – Lowest Observable Adverse Effect Level
This is the level above which adverse effects on health and quality of life can be detected.
SOAEL – Significant Observed Adverse Effect Level
This is the level above which significant adverse effects on health and quality of life occur.
None of these three levels are defined numerically and for the SOAEL the NPSE makes it clear
that the noise level is likely to vary depending upon the noise source, the receptor and the time
of day/day of the week, etc. The need for more research to investigate what may represent an
SOAEL for noise is acknowledge in the NPSE and the NPSE asserts that not stating specific
SOAEL levels provides policy flexibility in the period until there is further evidence and
guidance.
The NPSE concludes by explaining in a little more detail how the LOAEL and SOAEL relate to
the three aims listed in paragraph (b) above. It starts with the aim of avoiding significant adverse
effects on health and quality of life, then addresses the situation where the noise impact falls
between the LOAEL and the SOAEL when “all reasonable steps should be taken to mitigate
and minimise adverse effects on health and quality of life while also taking into account the
guiding principles of sustainable development.” The final aim envisages pro-active
management of noise to improve health and quality of life, again taking into account the guiding
principles of sustainable development which include the need to minimise travel distance
between housing and employment uses in an area.
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 11
8.2 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
The following paragraphs are from the NPPF (revised February 2019):
“180. Planning policies and decisions should also ensure that new development is appropriate
for its location taking into account the likely effects (including cumulative effects) of pollution on
health, living conditions and the natural environment, as well as the potential sensitivity of the
site or the wider area to impacts that could arise from the development. In doing so they should:
a) mitigate and reduce to a minimum potential adverse impacts resulting from noise from new
development – and avoid noise giving rise to significant adverse impacts on health and the
quality of life*;
b) identify and protect tranquil areas which have remained relatively undisturbed by noise and
are prized for their recreational and amenity value for this reason.
182. Planning policies and decisions should ensure that new development can be integrated
effectively with existing businesses and community facilities (such as places of worship, pubs,
music venues and sports clubs). Existing businesses and facilities should not have
unreasonable restrictions placed on them as a result of development permitted after they were
established. Where the operation of an existing business or community facility could have a
significant adverse effect on new development (including changes of use) in its vicinity, the
applicant (or ‘agent of change’) should be required to provide suitable mitigation before the
development has been completed.”
Paragraph 180 also references the Noise Policy Statement for England. This document does
not refer to specific noise levels but instead sets out three aims:
“Avoid significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life from environmental, neighbour
and neighbourhood noise within the context of Government policy on sustainable development.
Mitigate and minimise adverse impacts on health and quality of life from environmental,
neighbour and neighbourhood noise within the context of Government policy on sustainable
development.
Where possible, contribute to the improvement of health and quality of life through the effective
management and control of environmental, neighbour and neighbourhood noise within the
context of Government policy on sustainable development.”
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 12
8.3 Planning Practice Guidance on Noise
Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) under the NPPF has been published by the Government as
a web based resource at http://planningguidance.planningportal.gov.uk/blog/guidance/. This
includes specific guidance on noise although, like the NPPF and NPSE the PPG does not
provide any quantitative advice. It seeks to illustrate a range of effect levels in terms of
examples of outcomes as set out in the following table:
Perception Examples of Outcomes Increasing effect level Action
Not noticeable No effect No Observed Effect No specific measures required
Noticeable and not intrusive
Noise can be heard, but does not cause any change in behaviour or attitude. Can slightly affect the acoustic character of the area but not such that there is a perceived
change in the quality of life.
No Observed Adverse Effect
No specific measures required
Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level
Noticeable and intrusive
Noise can be heard and causes small changes in behaviour and/or attitude, e.g. turning up volume of television; speaking more loudly; where there is no alternative ventilation, having to close windows for some of the time because of the noise.
Potential for some reported sleep disturbance.
Observed Adverse Effect
Mitigate and reduce to a minimum
Significant Observed Adverse Effect Level
Noticeable and disruptive
The noise causes a material change in behaviour and/or attitude, e.g. avoiding
certain activities during periods of intrusion; where there is no alternative ventilation,
having to keep windows closed most of the time because of the noise. Potential for sleep disturbance resulting in difficulty in
getting to sleep, premature awakening and difficulty in getting back to sleep. Quality of
life diminished due to change in acoustic character of the area.
Significant Adverse Effect Avoid
Noticeable and very disruptive
Extensive and regular changes in behaviour and/or an inability to mitigate effect of noise leading to psychological
stress or physiological effects, e.g. regular sleep deprivation/awakening; loss of
appetite, significant, medically definable hard, e.g. auditory and non-auditory.
Unacceptable Adverse Effect Prevent
8.4 The London Plan (2016)
The London Plan, published in 2011 with minor revisions in 2013, 2015 and 2016, provides an
overall strategic plan for London, and it sets out a fully integrated economic, environmental,
transport and social framework for the development of the capital to 2031. The Plan brings
together the Mayor’s strategies, including policy on a range of environmental issues, such as
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 13
climate change, air quality, noise and waste. London boroughs’ local plans need to be in
general conformity with the London Plan, and its policies guide decisions on planning
applications by councils and the Mayor.
Policy 7.15 specifically relates to noise and states:
“Development proposals should seek to reduce noise by:
a) Minimising the existing and potential; adverse impacts of noise on, from, within, or in
the vicinity of, development proposals;
b) Separating new noise sensitive development from major noise sources wherever
practicable through the use of distance, screening, or internal layout in preference to
sole reliance on sound insulation;
c) Promoting new technologies and improving practices to reduce noise at source.”
London Plan – Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance
The Housing SPG 2016 highlights the elements of the London Plan that are relevant to housing
development, and where applicable, provides more detail. The SPG states:
“Noise – Baseline
Standard 5.3.1 (and Policy 7.15) – The layout of adjacent dwellings and the location of lifts and
circulation spaces should seek to limit the transmission of noise to sound sensitive rooms within
dwellings.
Policy 7.15 Reducing Noise and Enhancing Soundscapes requires development proposal to
seek to reduce noise and manage the effects of noise. It is another important aspect of retreat
and privacy in a dwelling. Noise from the street and adjoining properties can cause stress,
sleep disturbance and friction between neighbours as recognised in the NPPF154.
2.3.35 All dwellings should be built with acoustic insulation and tested to current Building
Regulations standards 155. However, acoustic insulation should not be relied upon as the only
means of limiting noise and the layout and placement of rooms within the building should be
considered at an early stage in the design process to limit the impact of external noise on
bedrooms and living rooms. The impact of noise should also be considered in the placement
of private external spaces.”
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 14
8.5 The Draft New London Plan (2019 Draft)
This is a new London Plan (also known as a Replacement Plan). This means it is not an
alteration or update to previous London Plans. This new London Plan, once published will be
the third London Plan, the previous ones being the 2004 London Plan produced by former
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and the 2011 London Plan produced by former Mayor of
London Boris Johnson. All of the other iterations of the London Plan from 2004-2016 have been
alterations. Once published adopted this London Plan will replace all previous versions.
Policy D13 Noise states:
A. “In order to reduce, manage and mitigate noise to improve health and quality of life,
residential and other non-aviation development proposals should manage noise by:
1) avoiding significant adverse noise impacts on health and quality of life
2) reflecting the Agent of Change principle as set out in Policy D12.
3) mitigating and minimising the existing and potential adverse impacts of noise
on, from, within, as a result of, or in the vicinity of new development without
placing unreasonable restrictions on existing noise-generating uses.
4) improving and enhancing the acoustic environment and promoting appropriate
soundscapes (including Quiet Areas and spaces of relative tranquillity).
5) separating new noise-sensitive development from major noise sources (such
as road, rail, air transport and some types of industrial use) through the use of
distance, screening, layout, orientation, uses and materials – in preference to
sole reliance on sound insulation.
6) where it is not possible to achieve separation of noise-sensitive development
and noise sources without undue impact on other sustainable development
objectives, then any potential adverse effects should be controlled and
mitigated through applying good acoustic design principles.
7) promoting new technologies and improved practices to reduce noise at source,
and on the transmission path from source to receiver.
B. Boroughs, and others with relevant responsibilities, should identify and nominate new
Quiet Areas and protect existing Quiet Areas in line with the procedure in Defra’s Noise
Action Plan for Agglomerations.
3.13.1. The management of noise is about encouraging the right acoustic environment in the
right place at the right time. This is important to promote good health and a good quality
of life within the wider context of achieving sustainable development. The management
of noise should be an integral part of development proposals and considered as early
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 15
as possible. Managing noise includes improving and enhancing the acoustic
environment and promoting appropriate soundscapes. This can mean allowing some
places or certain times to become noisier within reason, whilst others become quieter.
Consideration of existing noise sensitivity within an area is important to minimise
potential conflicts of uses or activities, for example in relation to internationally
important nature conservation sites which contain noise-sensitive species. Boroughs,
developers, businesses and other stakeholders should work collaboratively to identify
the existing noise climate and other noise issues to ensure effective management and
mitigation measures are achieved in new development proposals.
3.13.2. The Agent of Change Principle places the responsibility for mitigating impacts from
existing noise-generating activities or uses on the new development. Through the
application of this principle existing land uses should not be unduly impacted affected
by the introduction of new noise-sensitive uses. For noise-generating uses regard
should be had to not prejudicing their potential for intensification or expansion.
3.13.3. The management of noise also includes promoting good acoustic design of the inside
of buildings. Section 5 of BS 8223:2014 provides guidance on how best to achieve this.
The Institute of Acoustics has produced advice Pro:PG Planning and Noise (May 2017)
that may assist with the implementation of residential developments. BS4214 provides
guidance on monitoring noise issues in mixed residential/industrial areas.
3.13.4. Deliberately introducing sounds can help mitigate the adverse impact of existing
sources of noise, enhance the enjoyment of the public realm, and help protect the
relative tranquillity and quietness of places where such features are valued. For
example, playing low-level music outside the entrance to nightclubs has been found to
reduce noise from queueing patrons, leading to an overall reduction in noise levels.
Water features can be used to reduce the traffic noise, replacing it with the sound of
falling water, generally found to be more pleasant by most people33.
3.13.5. Heathrow and London City Airport Operators have responsibility for noise action plans
for airports. Policy T8 Aviation sets out the Mayor’s approach to aviation-related
development.
3.13.6. The definition of Tranquil Areas, Quiet Areas and spaces of relative tranquillity are
matters for London boroughs. These are likely to reflect the specific context of individual
boroughs, such that Quiet Areas in central London boroughs may reasonably be
expected not to be as quiet as Quiet Areas in more residential boroughs. Defra has
identified parts of Metropolitan Open Land and local green spaces as potential Quiet
Areas that boroughs may wish to designate34.”
33 For more information on approaches to minimise noise related to road and rail traffic, aircraft, water transport and industry see the Mayor’s Environment Strategy.

8.6 Local Planning Policy
The site lies within London Borough of Camden’s jurisdiction. Their advice regarding criteria for
atmospheric noise emissions from building service plant is contained within their Local Plan,
version June 2017 as follows:
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 17
On 26 June 2016 London Borough of Camden sent us an email confirming the following
windows should be considered noise sensitive, “housing, schools, hospitals, offices,
workshops”
8.7 World Health Organisation
The current Environmental Noise Guidelines 2018 for the European Region (ENG) supersede
the Guidelines for Community Noise from 1999 (CNG). Nevertheless, the ENG recommends
that all CNG indoor guideline values and any values not covered by the current guidelines (such
as industrial noise and shopping areas) remain valid.
A summary of the guidance from the ENG and CNG is shown in the table below.
Source CNG guideline indoors all sources
ENG guideline outdoors noise from specific source only
Road traffic noise 35 LAeq, 16h 53 dB Lden
30 LAeq, 8h 45 dB Lnight
Railway noise 35 LAeq, 16h 54 dB Lden
30 LAeq, 8h 44 dB Lnight
Aircraft noise 35 LAeq, 16h 45 dB Lden
30 LAeq, 8h 40 dB Lnight
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 18
With regard to single-event noise indicators, Section 2.2.2 of the WHO Environmental Noise
Guidelines 2018 state:
“In many situations, average noise levels like the Lden or Lnight indicators may not be the best to
explain a particular noise effect. Single-event noise indicators – such as the maximum sound
pressure level (LA,max) and its frequency distribution – are warranted in specific situations, such
as in the context of night-time railway or aircraft noise events that can clearly elicit awakenings
and other physiological reactions that are mostly determined by LA,max. Nevertheless, the
assessment of the relationship between different types of single-event noise indicators and
long-term health outcomes at the population level remains tentative. The guidelines therefore
make no recommendations for single-event noise indicators.”
8.8 British Standard BS8233: 2014
British Standard 8233: 2014 “Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings”
provides guidance for the control of noise in and around buildings.
8.8.1 Internal Areas
BS8233:2014 Section 7.7.2 titled “Internal ambient noise levels for dwellings” states:
“In general for steady external noise sources, it is desirable that internal ambient noise levels
do not exceed the following guideline values:
Activity Location Desirable Internal Ambient Criteria 07:00 – 23:00 23:00 to 07:00
Resting Living Rooms 35 dB LAeq,16hour - Dining Dining Room/Area 40 dB LAeq,16hour -
Sleeping (Daytime Resting) Bedroom 35 dB LAeq,16hour 30 dB LAeq,8hour
Note 1 The above table provides recommended levels for overall noise in the design of a building. These
are the sum total of structure-borne and airborne noise sources. Groundborne noise is assessed
separately and is not included as part of these targets, as human response to groundborne noise varies
with many factors such as level, character, timing, occupant expectation and sensitivity.
Note 2 The levels shown in the above table are based on the existing guidelines issued by the WHO and
assume normal diurnal fluctuations in external noise. In cases where local conditions do not follow a
typical diurnal pattern, for example on a road serving a port with high levels of traffic at certain times of
the night, an appropriate alternative period, e.g. 1 hour, may be used, but the level should be selected to
ensure consistency with the levels recommended in the above table.
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 19
Note 3 These levels are based on annual average data and do not have to be achieved in all
circumstances. For example, it is normal to exclude occasional events, such as fireworks nigh or News
Year’s Eve.
Note 4 Regular individual noise events (for example, scheduled aircraft or passing trains) can cause sleep
disturbance. A guideline value may be set in terms of SEL or LAmax,F depending on the character and
number of events per night. Sporadic noise events could require separate values.
Note 5 If relying on closed windows to meet the guide values, there needs to be an appropriate alternative
ventilation that does not compromise the façade insulation or the resulting noise level.
If applicable, any room should have adequate ventilation (e.g. trickle ventilators should be open) during
assessment.
Note 6 Attention is drawn to the Building Regulations.
Note 7 Where development is considered necessary or desirable, despite external noise levels above
WHO guidelines, the internal target levels may be relaxed by up to 5 dB and reasonable internal conditions
still achieved.”
8.8.2 External Amenity Areas
BS823:2014 Section 7.7.3.2 titled “Design criteria for external noise” states:
“For traditional external areas that are used for amenity space, such as gardens and patios, it is desirable
that the external noise level does not exceed 50 dB LAeq,T1, with an upper guideline value of 55 dB LAeq,T
which would be acceptable in noisier environments. However, it is also recognized that these guideline
values are not achievable in all circumstances where development might be desirable. In higher noise
areas, such as city centres or urban areas adjoining the strategic transport network, a compromise
between elevated noise levels and other factors, such as the convenience of living in these locations or
making efficient use of land resources to ensure development needs can be met, might be warranted. In
such a situation, development should be designed to achieve the lowest practicable levels in these
external amenity spaces, but should not be prohibited.
Other locations, such as balconies, roof gardens and terraces, are also important in residential buildings
where normal external amenity space might be limited or not available, i.e. in flats, apartment blocks, etc.
In these locations, specification of noise limits is not necessarily appropriate. Small balconies may be
included for uses such as drying washing or growing pot plants, and noise limits should not be necessary
for these uses. However, the general guidance on noise in amenity space is still appropriate for larger
balconies, roof gardens, and terraces, which might be intended to be used for relaxation. In high-noise
areas consideration should be given to protecting these areas by screening or building design to achieve
the lowest practicable levels. Achieving levels of 55dB LAeq,T or less might not be possible at the outer
edge of these areas, but should be achievable in some areas of the space.”
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 20
8.9 ProPG : Planning & Noise : 2017
8.9.1 The primary goal of the ProPG is to assist the delivery of sustainable development by promoting
good health and well-being through the effective management of noise. It seeks to do that
through encouraging a good acoustic design process in and around proposed new residential
development having regard to national policy on planning and noise. It is applicable to noise
from existing transport sources (noting that good professional practice should have regard to
any reasonably foreseeable changes in existing and/or new sources of noise). The
recommended approach is also considered suitable where some industrial or commercial noise
contributes to the acoustic environment provided that is “not dominant”.
8.9.2 This ProPG advocates a systematic, proportionate, risk based, 2-stage, approach. The
approach encourages early consideration of noise issues, facilitates straightforward
accelerated decision making for lower risk sites, and assists proper consideration of noise
issues where the acoustic environment is challenging.
8.9.3 The two sequential stages of the overall approach are:
Stage 1 – an initial noise risk assessment of the proposed development site; and
Stage 2 – a systematic consideration of four key elements.
8.9.4 The four key elements to be undertaken in parallel during Stage 2 of the recommended approach are:
Element 1 – demonstrating a “Good Acoustic Design Process”;
Element 2 – observing internal “Noise Level Guidelines”;
Element 3 – undertaking an “External Amenity Area Noise Assessment”; and
Element 4 – consideration of “Other Relevant Issues”.
8.9.5 The ProPG considers suitable guidance on internal noise levels found in “BS8233:2014:
Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings”. Table 4 in Section 7.7.2 of
the standard suggests that “in general, for steady external noise sources, it is desirable that the
internal ambient noise level does not exceed the guideline values”. The standard states
(Section 7.7.1) that “occupants are usually more tolerant of noise without a specific character”
and only noise without such character is considered in Table 4 of the standard.
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 21
Activity Location 07:00 – 23:00 Hours 23:00 – 07:00 Hours
Resting Living Room 35dB LAeq,16hr -
Dining Dining Room / Area 40dB LAeq,16hr -
Sleeping (daytime resting) Bedroom 35dB LAeq,16hr 30dB LAeq,16hr
45dB LAmax,F
NOTE 1 the Table provides recommended internal LAeq target levels for overall noise in the
design of a building. These are the sum total of structure-borne and airborne noise sources.
Ground-borne noise is assessed separately and is not included as part of these targets, as
human response to ground-borne noise varies with many factors such as level, character,
timing, occupant expectation and sensitivity.
NOTE 2 The internal LAeq target levels shown in the Table are based on the existing guidelines
issued by the WHO and assume normal diurnal fluctuations in external noise. In cases where
local conditions do not follow a typical diurnal pattern, for example on a road serving a port with
high levels of traffic at certain times of the night, an appropriate alternative period, e.g. 1 hour,
may be used, but the level should be selected to ensure consistency with the LAeq target levels
recommended in the Table.
NOTE 3 These internal LAeq target levels are based on annual average data and do not have to
be achieved in all circumstances. For example, it is normal to exclude occasional events, such
as fireworks night or New Year’s Eve.
NOTE 4 Regular individual noise events (for example, scheduled aircraft or passing trains) can
cause sleep disturbance. A guideline value may be set in terms of SEL or LAmax,F, depending
on the character and number of events per night. Sporadic noise events could require separate
values. In most circumstances in noise-sensitive rooms at night (e.g. bedrooms) good acoustic
design can be used so that individual noise events do not normally exceed 45dB LAmax,F more
than 10 times a night. However, where it is not reasonably practicable to achieve this guideline
then the judgement of acceptability will depend not only on the maximum noise levels but also
on factors such as the source, number, distribution, predictability and regularity of noise events
(see Appendix A).
NOTE 5 Designing the site layout and the dwellings so that the internal target levels can be
achieved with open windows in as many properties as possible demonstrates good acoustic
design. Where it is not possible to meet internal target levels with windows open, internal noise
levels can be assessed with windows closed, however any façade openings used to provide
whole dwelling ventilation (e.g. trickle ventilators) should be assessed in the “open” position
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 22
and, in this scenario, the internal LAeq target levels should not normally be exceeded, subject to
the further advice in Note 7.
NOTE 6 Attention is drawn to the requirements of the Building Regulations.
NOTE 7 Where development is considered necessary or desirable, despite external noise
levels above WHO guidelines, the internal LAeq target levels may be relaxed by up to 5dB and
reasonable internal conditions still achieved. The more often internal LAeq levels start to exceed
the internal LAeq target levels by more than 5dB, the more that most people are likely to regard
them as “unreasonable”. Where such exceedances are predicted, applicants should be
required to show how the relevant number of rooms affected has been kept to a minimum.
Once internal LAeq levels exceed the target levels by more than 10dB, they are likely to be
regarded as “unacceptable” by most people, particularly if such levels occur more than
occasionally. Every effort should be made to avoid relevant rooms experiencing “unacceptable”
noise levels at all and where such levels are likely to occur frequently, the development should
be prevented in its proposed form (See Section 3.D).
Figure 2. ProPG Internal Noise Level Guidelines (additions to BS8233:2014 shown in blue).
9.0 Proposed Design Target Internal Noise Levels
On the basis of BS8233:2014 we propose the following internal noise levels be adopted as
design targets in the proposed habitable rooms:
Activity Location Desirable Internal Ambient Criteria 07:00 – 23:00 23:00 to 07:00
Resting Living Rooms 35 dB LAeq,16hour - Dining Dining Room/Area 40 dB LAeq,16hour -
Sleeping (Daytime Resting) Bedroom 35 dB LAeq,16hour 30 dB LAeq,8hour
Note: For this site the LAeq,T noise parameter alone is considered to be sufficient (with reference
to Note 4 of Section 7.7.2 of BS8233:2014) given the character of the noise climate we have
measured.
Where development is considered necessary or desirable, despite external noise levels above
WHO guidelines, the internal target noise levels may be relaxed (subject to the requirements of
any planning conditions) by up to 5 dB and reasonable internal conditions still achieved.
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 23
10.0 Achievable Internal Noise Levels
It is generally accepted that the typical noise reduction achieved by conventional thermal double
glazing is 33dBA for road traffic noise. This value is taken from PPG24 (now superseded) and
is the difference between dBA levels measured outside and inside typical dwellings, therefore
3dBA should be added to free field noise levels to determine outside levels.
A simple assessment thus indicates the following noise levels may be expected within the
proposed worst case dwellings with conventional thermal double glazing.

Noise reduction for conventional thermal double glazing -33dBA -33dBA -33dBA -33dBA
Predicted night time internal noise levels 22dBA 26dBA 24dBA 35dBA
The predicted worst case internal noise levels with windows closed meet the proposed criteria
at Positions 1, 2 and 3. It is thus demonstrated that acceptable internal noise levels are
achievable at these positions with a conventional thermal double glazing.
The predicted worst case internal noise levels with windows closed exceed the proposed
daytime and night-time criteria at Position 4. Provision therefore exists to provide appropriate
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 24
sound insulation solutions as required including, where necessary, suitably specified glazing
and attenuated ventilators. We would therefore initially recommend that the future residential
premises overlooking Royal College Street are provided with an uprated thermal double glazing
and ventilation configuration providing a minimum on site noise reduction of 38dB.
11.0 Plant Noise Emission Criteria
On the basis of the aforementioned acoustic standards and guidance, together with the results
of the environmental noise survey, we propose that the following plant noise emission criteria
be achieved at in the nearest garden ‘used for main amenity’ or at 1 metre from the nearest
living room, dining room, or bedroom in the daytime, and at 1 metre from the nearest bedroom
window at night-time with all plant operating simultaneously.
Position Plant Noise Emission Criteria (dB re 2x10-5 Pa)
Daytime (07:00 – 23:00 hours)
Night-time (23:00 – 07:00 hours)
1 40dBA / NR35* 39dBA / NR35*
2 35dBA / NR35* 30dBA / NR35*
3 38dBA / NR35* 37dBA / NR35*
5 46dBA / NR35* 40dBA / NR35*
*NR35 criterion applies to ‘smaller pieces of equipment on commercial premises, such as extract ventilation, air conditioning units, and condensers….where noise sensitive premises are located in a quiet background area’ as per Camden’s Local Plan.
If plant contains tonal or impulsive characteristics the external design criteria should be reduced
by 5dBA.
The above criteria are based on a level of 10dB below background in order to fall into Camden’s
‘Green’ criteria for dwellings. Whilst we understand that Camden considers other uses noise
sensitive, the Local plan states that the criteria is use dependent but does not define criteria
that correspond to ‘Green’, ‘Amber’, or ‘Red’ for these other uses. We request that Camden
clarify their policy in this respect. The criteria could be relaxed by 5dB in line with the ‘Amber’
criteria in Camden’s Local Plan, which may be acceptable to Camden depending on ‘the context
of other merits of the development’.
It should be noted that the above are subject to the final approval of the Local Authority.
HT: 25789/NIA2-Rev0 29 March 2019 Page 25
12.0 Conclusions
Detailed daytime and night-time fully automated environmental noise surveys have been
undertaken in order to establish the currently prevailing environmental noise climate around the
site. The results are presented herein.
Plant noise emission criteria have been recommended and a preliminary plant noise emission
limit has been set with reference to BS 4142:2014 and Local Authority requirements.
Suitable environmental noise intrusion criteria have been proposed on the basis of BS
8233:2014.
The environmental noise impact upon the proposed dwellings has been assessed. It has been
demonstrated that acceptable internal noise levels can be achieved with conventional and
uprated double thermal glazing (where applicable) and in accordance with the proposed internal
acoustic criteria, and therefore the proposed development should be deemed suitable for
residential use.
Appendix A
The acoustic terms used in this report are defined as follows:
dB Decibel - Used as a measurement of sound level. Decibels are not an absolute unit of
measurement but an expression of ratio between two quantities expressed in logarithmic
form. The relationships between Decibel levels do not work in the same way that non-
logarithmic (linear) numbers work (e.g. 30dB + 30dB = 33dB, not 60dB).
dBA The human ear is more susceptible to mid-frequency noise than the high and low
frequencies. The ‘A’-weighting scale approximates this response and allows sound levels
to be expressed as an overall single figure value in dBA. The A subscript is applied to an
acoustical parameter to indicate the stated noise level is A-weighted
It should be noted that levels in dBA do not have a linear relationship to each other; for
similar noises, a change in noise level of 10dBA represents a doubling or halving of
subjective loudness. A change of 3dBA is just perceptible.
L90,T L90 is the noise level exceeded for 90% of the period T (i.e. the quietest 10% of the
measurement) and is often used to describe the background noise level.
Leq,T Leq,T is the equivalent continuous sound pressure level. It is an average of the total sound
energy measured over a specified time period, T.
Lmax Lmax is the maximum sound pressure level recorded over the period stated. Lmax is
sometimes used in assessing environmental noise where occasional loud noises occur,
which may have little effect on the Leq noise level.
Lp Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is the sound pressure relative to a standard reference
pressure of 2 x 10-5 Pa. This level varies for a given source according to a number of
factors (including but not limited to: distance from the source; positioning; screening and
meteorological effects).
Lw Sound Power Level (SWL) is the total amount of sound energy inherent in a particular
sound source, independent of its environment. It is a logarithmic measure of the sound
power in comparison to a specified reference level (usually 10-12 W).

1 Introduction
1.1 This document sets out an air quality monitoring strategy to be applied during the demolition and
construction works associated with the proposed mixed-use development at 63 Pratt Street,
Camden, known as the St Pancras Commercial Centre. It has been prepared by Air Quality
Consultants Ltd (AQC) on behalf of Camden Property Holdings Limited in order to satisfy Condition
25 of the resolution to grant permission (application reference: 2019/4201/P), which states:
“Air quality monitoring should be implemented on site. No development shall take place until:
a. prior to installing monitors, full details of the air quality monitors have been submitted to and
approved by the local planning authority in writing. Such details shall include the location, number
and specification of the monitors, including evidence of the fact that they have been installed in line
with guidance outlined in the GLA's Control of Dust and Emissions during Construction and
Demolition Supplementary Planning Guidance;
b. prior to commencement, evidence has been submitted demonstrating that the monitors have
been in place for at least 3 months prior to the proposed implementation date.
The monitors shall be retained and maintained on site for the duration of the development in
accordance with the details thus approved.”
1.2 In preparing this document, regard has been given to the guidance on monitoring strategies as set
out in the Greater London Authority’s Supplementary Planning Guidance for the Control of Dust and
Emissions During Construction and Demolition (GLA, 2014), as well as the Institute of Air Quality
Management’s Guidance on the Assessment of Dust from Demolition and Construction v1.1 (IAQM,
2016) and Guidance on Air Quality Monitoring in the Vicinity of Demolition and Construction Sites
(IAQM, 2018).

2 Summary of Construction Dust Risk Assessment
2.1 The impacts from the construction phase of the development were previously assessed by AQC in
August 20191. This assessment identified the area surrounding the construction site as being of
high sensitivity to dust soiling, and medium to high sensitivity in terms of human health (Table 1).
The determination of the sensitivity of the area to human health effects takes into account the local
background PM10 concentrations; in this case between 19 and 20 µg/m3 (based on roadside and
background monitoring undertaken by the London Borough of Camden in 2017).
Table 1: Summary of the Area Sensitivity
Effects Associated With: Sensitivity of the Surrounding Area
On-site Works Trackout
Dust Soiling High Sensitivity High Sensitivity
Human Health Low Sensitivity Medium Sensitivity
2.2 The sensitivities identified in Table 1 were combined with the dust emission magnitudes for the
scheme to define a risk category to each activity of the construction process. These are detailed in
Table 2.
Table 2: Summary of Risk of Impacts Without Mitigation
Source Dust Soiling Human Health
Demolition Medium Risk Low Risk
Earthworks Medium Risk Low Risk
Construction High Risk Low Risk
Trackout High Risk Medium Risk
2.3 Overall, the area surrounding the construction site is judged to be at medium to high risk of dust
soiling, and at low to medium risk of human health impacts. The suggested approach to monitoring
detailed in this document has been defined based upon these identified risks.

J3747 3 of 13 October 2020
3 Monitoring Approach
3.1 The GLA Guidance (GLA, 2014) states that, for all demolition and construction sites in London, “it is
essential to monitor for dust generation, including PM10”. Furthermore, it defines the approach to be
adopted for monitoring particulate matter (as PM10) for medium and high risk sites, and details the
type of monitor to be used to provide high resolution measurements in short time periods (i.e. 15
minute and 1 hour intervals). More specifically, the guidance stipulates the requirement:
“If measuring air quality along a line; Set up a line across the site according to the direction of the
prevailing wind; and… operate a minimum of two automatic particulate monitors to measure PM10
levels at either end of the line - either inside or outside the site boundary…
If monitoring air quality at sensitive receptors: Identify which location(s) need to be monitored and
set up an automatic particulate monitor at each of these to measure representative PM10 levels.”
3.2 The guidance in the document cited above is founded on a risk-based approach, taking into account
the size of the development and the proximity of sensitive receptors. Other issues that should be
taken into account are the duration and phasing of the works and the prevailing baseline air quality
conditions.
3.3 The proposed development lies within an Air Quality Management Area declared for exceedances
of the 24-hour mean PM10 and annual mean nitrogen dioxide objectives. PM10 concentrations
measured by the London Borough of Camden (the Local Planning Authority; LPA) at kerbside,
roadside and background locations have been well below the relevant objectives for a number of
years (London Borough of Camden, 2020), and concentrations in the vicinity of the site are therefore
unlikely to exceed the air quality objectives.
3.4 There are existing residential properties to the east along St Pancras Way, with predominantly
commercial properties to the north and south, and a new residential development to the west. The
existing and new residential properties are considered to be of high sensitivity to any increase in
dust or PM10 concentrations.
3.5 The prevailing wind direction in the area is from the southwest (~ 40% of time) with the second most
frequent wind direction from the east (~ 13% of time), as shown in the wind roses for 2018 and 2019
at London City Airport (Figure 1).
3.6 It is anticipated that the demolition and construction works will take place for a period of 36 months
from 3rd February 2021. The planning condition states that PM10 monitoring should commence three
months in advance of commencement of the works. It is therefore anticipated that monitoring will
commence in November 2020 and continue until termination of the construction works. The
proposed date of commencement of monitoring and commencement of site works will be confirmed
with the LPA prior to commission.

4 Monitoring strategy
4.1 Continuous PM10 monitoring will be undertaken at four locations using four MCERTS certified Osiris
particle monitors capable of measuring and logging PM10 in real-time, and with the ability to download
results from the units in real time using a GSM modem. A meteorological sensor will be installed,
collocated with one of the monitors, in order to gather site-specific wind speed and direction data.
4.2 The proposed monitoring locations take account of the prevailing wind direction, and the location of
sensitive receptors, and are shown in Figure 2. The approximate locations are also shown in
Appendix A1. Locations 1 and 4 are situated upwind of the site based on the prevailing south-
westerly winds, Location 2 is upwind during the second most frequent (easterly) wind direction.
Locations 2, 3 and 4 are near the most sensitive receptors around the site. The locations have been
chosen to allow for an upwind / downwind transect across the site, taking account of the prevailing
wind direction, and also take account of the closest residential properties to the site. Monitoring at
the site boundary, as recommended by the IAQM guidance (IAQM, 2018), will record the highest
dust emissions.

4.3 Consistent with the requirements of the IAQM guidance (IAQM, 2018), the sampler inlets will be
located in a clear, unobstructed position, with no overhanging trees or other structures. The sampler
inlet will be located between 1.5 to 4 m above ground level. During the baseline monitoring period,
the samplers will, out of necessity, be located on the façade of the existing building. Once the
hoarding is in place, prior to demolition on site, the monitors will be relocated onto the hoarding as
close as possible to their baseline monitoring locations; the inlet will be positioned so that it is above
the hoarding, allowing unrestricted movement of air around the inlet, and clear lines of sight to the
sources of dust emissions.
Site Action Levels and Reporting
4.4 At this stage it is anticipated that the Site Action Level (SAL) will be based on that recommended by
IAQM (2018). For PM10 measurements, a SAL of 190 µg/m3 as a 1-hour average will be used2 and
its appropriateness will be confirmed following the three months baseline monitoring.
4.5 In the event that the SAL is exceeded, the Site Manager and the LB Camden will be alerted
immediately via an automated SMS and/or email alert system, and the following actions taken
(further details of the procedure to be adopted following SAL exceedances are detailed in Appendix
A2):
• the event will immediately be recorded in a log book, along with the date and time and details of
any actions taken on site to reduce emissions;
• an additional assessment of the results will be commissioned to ascertain the potential cause of
the exceedance;
• construction activities taking place at the time the action level was exceeded will be reviewed;
• if necessary, the mitigation measures that are in place will be reviewed and revised; and
• the LPA will be informed of the exceedance automatically (by email to
[email protected]); the Site Manager will also provide details of the actions taken to
reduce emissions within 48 hours.
4.6 The LPA will be informed of the outcome of the additional assessment, and advised of any revisions
to working practices and mitigation.
4.7 Monthly monitoring summary reports will be prepared and submitted to the Local Planning Authority.
These reports will contain the following:
2 A Site Action Level of 190 µg/m3, measured as a 1-hour mean, recommended in the most recent IAQM Guidance
(IAQM, 2018) will be used. This is in line with the requirements of the GLA’s construction SPG (GLA, 2014), which states that guidance presented in the most recent version issued by the IAQM should be followed.

• details of the monitoring equipment used and dates of most recent servicing and calibration;
• site plan of the monitoring locations and recent photographs of the monitors on-site in their
current locations;
• PM10 trigger levels used;
• summary table of exceedances of the trigger levels during the monitoring period;
• average concentrations of PM10 during the monitoring period at each of the monitoring stations;
• graphs of PM10 concentrations during the monitoring period;
• valid data capture during the monitoring period;
• details of the works being undertaken on-site during the monitoring period; and
• dust mitigation measures used for preventative and reactive dust mitigation
4.8 Should it be necessary to relocate either of the monitors during the construction programme, the
LPA will be notified of any proposed changes in the location and operation of the monitors, and will
be allowed to agree the new location(s) prior to relocation.
