3 DELIVERIES AND CONSTRUCTION HOURS
Noise generating construction and decommissioning works shall be undertaken between 0800 and 1800 Monday to Friday, and 0800 to 1300 on Saturdays, with no noise generating works to be undertaken outside of those hours. Other working hours may be between 0700 and 1900
Monday to Saturday.
4 CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE DETAILS
Construction vehicles will include private cars and minibuses for staff movements and commercial vehicles up to HGV’s for component and materials delivery. It is not expected that any vehicle will require permission for abnormal load movements (wide, long or heavy) and no public road amendments will be required. The maximum size of vehicle is expected to be transporting 40 foot containers with an estimated length of 16.5m. Axle loads will be less than
11 tonne for all vehicles.
Personnel vehicle movements
It is estimated that there may be up to 20 workers on the site generating 8 car movements each day and up to 1-2 mini buses with a capacity of up to 12 seats per day.
Traffic Movements
Please refer to the Highway Statement
5 PUBLIC ROAD VEHICLE ROUTES
The site will be accessed from the A616 from the East via Frithwood Lane. See Highways
Statement for plan of likely route from the A60 to the site

Public Road Cleanliness
During construction, most vehicles will be restricted to the stone site access tracks. As and when necessary, vehicle wheels will be manually cleaned prior to release onto the public highway. The site construction manager will monitor the public highway conditions and will assess if further measures are required to maintain road cleanliness.
It is unlikely that deliveries to the site will cause any disruption to local traffic flows. To avoid any congestion the construction team would undertake to:- i.
Deploy a banks-man if required in order to avoid congestion on the public highway. If a banks-man is deemed necessary, they will be positioned at the entrance from the highway. ii.
Use temporary traffic signage throughout the construction period; and
7 CONTRACTOR USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Because of the rural location, contractors will not be able to use public transport; however, car sharing and mini buses will be used when appropriate.

8 SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL TRACKS
8.1 Site Entrances
The site entrances will use the existing field entrances of Frithwood Lane
8.2 Site Access Tracks
Frithwood Lane will be upgraded for much of its length with 10cm of graded stone laid down.
Within the site itself, access tracks will be created by removing the top soil depth of 100mm; a terrain membrane will be laid in the excavated access path and filled with 200mm of 75mm CR stone, which will then be compacted down to 100mm to provide a suitable surface for vehicles.
The access will be approximately 4.0m in width. Figure 3 is a photo of a similar access path as recently constructed at another of our solar farms.
Figure 3. Sample Access Track
8.3 Construction Compound
The small construction compound will be located close to the site entrance to the southern site.
All HGVs will deliver directly to the compound.
If wheel cleaning is required this will be undertaken manually in the compound area. All shuttle vehicles will be able to enter the site and unload within the compound area. There will be no queuing, parking or unloading on the public highway.
8.4 Storage
There will be some requirement for on-site storage at the compound. Most materials will be stored her while some will be taken directly to the area of use or offloaded directly at their final point of use.

Construction Management Plan
Site safety will be detailed within the site construction Health and Safety Plan. This will include details of site management, site speed limits and control of vehicle access to site. The Principal
Contractor is responsible for site health and safety.
During construction, the site will be secured using temporary security.
During construction, the site will be secured using temporary security fencing. This will be positioned in locations where the opening in the existing site boundary would allow intentional or accidental vehicle or pedestrian access to the construction area. This will prevent any unauthorised access during construction.
The Principal Contractor’s Site Manager will be responsible for monitoring and preventing unauthorised access to the site during working hours and an after-hours security guard will manage this outside of working hours.
10 MEASURES TO BE ADOPTED TO MITIGATE CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS IN PURSUANCE OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE
The principal noise source attributable to the development of a solar farm would be from the:
- Piling machine ramming the frames into the ground; however it is not intended to use this method for this array due to adverse ground conditions
- Construction vehicles and tools used in trenching, earth removal, compacting access track
and lifting and distributing materials
The principal receptors of any noise will be the dwellings around Bonbusk Farm on the A616 to the East of the site
All contractors will be required to conform to the construction noise code of practice BS 5228 and on site noise levels will be monitored when changes in process are required or in response to complaints. The adoption of Best Practicable Means, as defined in the Control of Pollution Act
1974, will be used in order to control noise. Noise levels during construction and decommissioning will not exceed an LAeq noise level of 60 dB 1-metre from the façade of any occupied residential dwelling.
In addition:
- Construction and decommissioning works will be undertaken between - 0800 and 1800
Monday to Friday, and 0800 to 1300 on Saturdays, with no noise generating works to be
undertaken outside of these hours.
- Deliveries will be programmed to arrive during daytime hours only and will be routed in
order to minimise disturbance to local residents. Delivery vehicles will be prohibited from
waiting within the site with their engines running.
- All plant items would be properly maintained and operated according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations in such a manner as to avoid causing excessive noise.

Construction Management Plan
It is considered that the measures above would adequately protect the residential amenity of nearby neighbours due to the finite construction period.
10.1 Impact on Ground Water and Hydrology
The construction of a solar PV array is a relatively clean operation with extremely limited use of any liquid that is likely to cause pollution. Potential pollutants on site would be limited to fuel used in construction vehicles and machinery during the construction.
Diesel will be stored within a Diesel deposit in the Construction Compound and a small amount in approved containers on site. Plant and equipment on-site need regular supplies of diesel fuel.
Delivery of diesel fuel may occasionally be organized a direct to the vehicles.
Refilling of equipment will take place in the open air and away from sources of ignition. Care will be taken to avoid spills and the consequences of any leak or spill assessed. Containers should be kept closed when not in use.
Any tanks will be double walled and designed to offer the highest level of environmental protection in order to avoid spills and leaks caused by faulty pipes, couplings or fittings, which are located underneath the tank.
The inner portion of every hired tank will be made of blow-moulded, seamless high density polyethylene, which is leak-proof and corrosion resistant. Any hired tank will made of galvanized steel that is also leak-proof and corrosion-resistant.
To minimize the potential danger of oil spills and leaks caused by corrosion, the tanks will be completely rust-free, inside and out.
Measures would be developed and put in place in order to manage any potential fuel spills as part of the contractor’s health and safety assessment.
These measures will be maintained and monitored throughout the construction process.
Wastewater from temporary on-site facilities would be discharged via sealed containment systems by licensed contractors.
Portable toilets will be hired for the duration of the construction period; therefore there will be no human waste issues on site.

Construction Management Plan
The main contractor will ensure that all waste is disposed of responsibly from the site. The potential waste generated during the construction process will be:
- Solar panels arrive in cardboard boxes on pallets and are strapped securely with plastic straps. There are polystyrene spacers between the panels and the edges are protected with polystyrene corners. The pallets and cardboard will be removed from site on a regular basis and recycled.
- Packaging materials for various components, such as screws, cabling and mounting frames.
- Any non-recyclable waste will be stored separately.
- Site office waste would be collected in separate containers in order to maximise the
potential for recycling.
- Kitchen waste will be taken off site in refuse containers and disposed of off-site.
10.3 Ecology
The ecological report submitted with this planning application highlights the main ecological features of the application site and made recommendations in order to protect flora and fauna within and around the site both during construction and for the life of the array.
