1. The Site
1.1. Location and Access
The Charterhouse Field, situated east of A4114 London Road, is a community area
surrounded by schools, sports pitches, and a playground. The project's central
coordinates are approximately 434470, 278096 on the national grid reference. The
site is divided by the River Sherborne.
An annotated site location plan is presented in Appendix B.
1.2. Site Description
This area is inside the Chartered field. It’s a pathway that leads to a bridge and also
has a river on the right side. There looks to be tall trees that may have been here for
history as shown in Figure 1 as well as the presence of tall grass and shrubs.

2. Desk Study
2.1 Introduction
The desk study encompasses a thorough review of pertinent information sources,
primarily relying on the DIGIMAP database for comprehensive data retrieval. Other
sources include:

BGS GeoIndex Onshore

Groundsure Enviro Data Viewer
2.2. Site History
A review of the site history has been undertaken in order to identify any previous
potentially significant contaminative activities, located either on-site or off-site. A
meticulous examination of the site's historical records, detailed in Table 2.1, revealing
the site's historical evolution, indicating changes in the river course, road expansion,
and alterations to footpaths, significant developments over various time periods.

BGS Estimated Soil Chemistry
The BGS Geo-Index provides a summary of the estimated soil chemistry for the site
and surrounding area with background concentration ranges for Arsenic, Cadmium,
Copper, Lead and Nickel. The estimated ranges are summarised as follows:

Arsenic = 10.7-14.1 mg/kg

Cadmium = 0-0.33 mg/kg

Copper = 35.0-65 mg/kg

Lead = 99.5-242 mg/kg

Nickel = 23.5-31.9 mg/kg
Potential for Pyritic Ground
There are no measures identified for the Pennine middle coal on the pyritic ground.
2.4 Hydrogeology
There are no protection zones
2.5 Hydrology
The nearest water on the walk site is the river. The Groundsure Enviro Data Viewer
shows that the risk of flooding is medium.
2.6 Environmental Considerations
Various databases identified potential contamination sources and receptors within a
1km radius. Additional potential matters of interest, radon, mining, and UXO risks were
assessed.
In addition, the databases also contain data which can be used to identify potential
receptors of contamination on the site and within 1km. The salient issues which relate
to the site are summarised in the following sections.

2.7 Additional Potential Matters of Interest
There are other activities/records that the various databases indicate as not being
present within 1km of the site. These include:

Historic and Recorded Landfills

Sites of Special Scientific Interest

Ramsar Sites

Special Areas of Conservation

Special Protection Areas

Local and National Nature Reserves

Ancient Woodland
2.8 Radon
The maximum radon potential risk is between 10-30%
2.9 Mining
There is a mine North on the river Sherborne but has no risk. The Southern side also
contains mining areas.
2.9 Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
There is an abandoned bomb north 1km away from the river. This was identified as a
high risk in relevance to the proposed construction activities.

3 Preliminary Conceptual Site Model
3.1. Potential Sources of Contamination
In summary, the following potential on-site sources of contamination have been
identified:
Based on the available historical maps, the most significant on-site usages are the
former sewage works in the east of the site, and the former refuse heap in the west of
the site. In addition to this, there is potential that off-site activities, such as the
construction and removal of the railway line and coal pits, could present potential
sources of contamination. There is the potential for Made Ground to be present on site
associated with the previously mentioned former uses. Such Made Ground could
contain Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACM), metals, PAH’s and elevated
sulphates. Gas generation from organic matter within made ground (on and off site),
if in significant thickness across the site, could also represent a potential risk. There is
also potential for gas generation from the recorded Pennine Middle Coal Measures.
The estimated soil chemistry for the area indicates that naturally elevated Lead levels
could exceed the acceptable Soil Screening Value (SSV) of 82 mg/kg (for proposed
Residential enduse with consumption of home-grown produce). In summary, the
following potential on-site sources of contamination have been identified:

Metal, PAH and asbestos contamination in Made Ground.

Ground gas generation from organic materials within Made Ground and
Pennine Middle Coal Measures.

Elevated sulphates within Made Ground causing potential attack on buried
concrete.

Elevated Lead levels in natural ground exceeding acceptable SSV
The following potential off-site sources of contamination have been identified as well:

Potential ground gas migration from Made Ground on adjacent sites
XII
[Your SID]/4002ECE (R01)

3.2 Potential Migration Pathways
The following potential migration pathways have been identified:

Conditions such as dermatitis etc. Certain contaminants can be absorbed into
the body

Through the skin or enter directly through open cuts or abrasions.

Migration of Ground Gas / Vapours: Ground gases / vapours can migrate
laterally

or vertically through permeable or voided ground and accumulate within
unprotected

Buildings.

Direct Contact: Building materials can be damaged by direct contact with
aggressive

Ground conditions, for example sulphate attack on concrete.
3.3 Potential Receptors of Contamination
The following potential human health and environmental receptors have been
identified:

Future residents

Groundwater in the underlying Secondary Aquifer

Construction and Maintenance Workers

Buried concrete and Water Supply Pipes
3.4 Pollutant Linkages and Environmental Risks
The preliminary Source-Pathway-Receptor relationships identified for the site
(bearing in mind the proposed redevelopment of the site) are summarised in Table
3.1. A schematic drawing is presented in Appendix C.

6. Site Management
In responding to your project brief, effective site management remains a top priority.
Our strategies center on key aspects such as safety, environmental sustainability, and
stakeholder engagement.
6.1 Site Plan
The site plan for the Charterhouse Field Cycle way Scheme involves meticulous layout
planning to optimize construction efficiency while adhering to safety and environmental
considerations. Key components of the site plan include:


6.2 Traffic Management Plan
The Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a crucial element to ensure the smooth flow of
traffic in the vicinity during construction, mitigating potential disruptions and safety
hazards. Key features of the Traffic Management Plan include:

Road Diversion: Temporary diversion routes to redirect traffic away from
construction zones, minimizing congestion.

Signage and Signals: Clear signage indicating construction zones, speed
limits, and temporary traffic signals to manage vehicle movement.

10 Construction Programme.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal for the Charterhouse Field
Cycleway Scheme - Phase 1. Our plan encompasses the replacement of the existing
footpath with a cycleway/footway, extension to the woodland area, and the
replacement of the existing footbridge. Our approach aligns with the client's goal of
providing an alternative route to improve connectivity for residents while minimizing
environmental impact.
