2 Site and Surroundings

This chapter of the CEMP provides details of the Site, the previous use and the Development.
2.1 The Site

The Site forms part of the Elephant and Castle Opportunity Area, within the administrative boundary of Southwark Council. The Site occupies an area of 1.142 hectares and is bounded by: Victory Place to the north; Balfour Street to the east; Rodney Road to the south and west. The boundary is defined as per the Appendix 1: Site Logistics Plan.
2.2 Previous Residential Development

The Site previously comprised 105 residential dwellings contained within 4 local authority buildings known as the Rodney Road and Wingrave buildings that formed part of the wider Heygate Estate. Owned by Southwark Council, the Heygate Estate was a 1970s housing estate that provided 1,212 residential units across both this Site and the adjacent site bounded by New Kent Road, Rodney Place and Rodney Road, Wansey Street, Walworth Road, and Elephant Road, the Rodney Road and Wingrave Buildings were demolished in 2011. An early works package has been undertaken by Southwark Council to remove the remaining structures on site.
2.3 The Surrounding Area

The land uses surrounding the Site are primarily residential, with residential land uses to the east, south, and west, including the Peabody Estate to the south, Wansey Street and Larcom Street to the west, and Balfour Street, Henshaw Street and Chatham Street to the east. The character of the existing residential buildings around the site is largely of a mature Victorian stock, with some more recent residential development. There are a number of other land uses, together with significant transport infrastructure, that are also located within the vicinity of the Site. These include: Retail and leisure, including the Rose and Crown Public House and a parade of local shops on Rodney Road to the southeast of the Site. The Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre to the west of the Site, comprising a supermarket and other retail units, the London Palace Superbowl bowling alley and Bingo Hall, the Charlie Chaplin Public House, cafes, restaurants and hot food takeaways, and an external market space. Elephant and Castle Overground and Underground stations to the west of the Site, major bus interchange at Elephant and Castle as well as local bus services serving the Site running along Rodney Road; Education facilities, including Victory School immediately to the north of the Site; Faith facilities, including the Grade II listed Lady Margaret church, which is currently occupied by the The Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim & Seraphim Church, to the east of the Site on the corner of Balfour Street and Chatham Street. Victory Community Park to the north of the Site, and Nursery Row Park to the south of the Site;
The consented Heygate Masterplan to the west and northwest of the Site, which will provide for the redevelopment of a 9.71 hectare site for a maximum of 330,741 sq m (GEA) mixed use floor space comprising of residential, retail, business, community and leisure, and sui generis uses; The consented Stead Street development to the south of the Site, which will provide 140 residential units, a new church hall, and a retail unit. It is understood that construction will commence on this site at a similar time to that of Trafalgar Place. The Larcom Street Conservation Area is located to the west of the Site.
3 Description of Development
This chapter outlines the detailed planning permission.
3.1 Description of Development

This section should be read in conjunction with the Planning Statement, Design and Access Statement and Landscape Strategy (including addendum information submitted in Dec 2012) which were submitted in support of the application (no: 12/AP/2797) and which describe the principal components of the Development. Planning permission was granted on 15th March 2013 for: Construction of 8 buildings ranging between 4 and 10 storeys in height (maximum building height 38.5m AOD), comprising 235 residential units, 204 sqm (GEA) of retail use (Class A1-A3), car parking beneath podium level, cycle storage, servicing, plant areas, landscaping and public realm improvements The vision for the Site is to lay down strong foundations for the wider Heygate Regeneration by providing a high quality sustainable development that complements and integrates itself with the surrounding community.
3.2 The Development

The Development comprises two development plots divided by a new pedestrianised street (Paragon Row). The area to the north of the new street is referred to as Plot R1; and the area to the south as Plot R2. Plot R2 includes a raised residential courtyard providing residents communal amenity space as well as private gardens for the residential units that face on to the courtyard. Secure residents car parking, motorcycle parking and cycle storage facilities are provided at grade in-plot beneath the raised courtyard, the only access for vehicles to the car park is from Balfour Street to the east , pedestrian access for residents is also provided from Paragon Row. The individual buildings within R1 and R2 are numbered sequentially from the south-west corner, running clockwise. Please refer to figure 3.1 overleaf, for the individual building references and associated storey heights

4 Works Description and Methods

4.1 Construction Sequence
The construction sequence for Trafalgar Place is outlined below, minor changes may occur subject to detailed design development and procurement activities.
4.2
Summary of Pre-Implementation Works (June July 2013)
The following pre-implementation works will be carried out; elements of this work will continue into the enabling works period: Statutory notifications and consents if required, for example HSE asbestos notices, hoarding and scaffold licences, road closures and alterations etc Submission and approval of method statements and risk assessments, scaffolding and temporary works designs Installation of perimeter 2.4m high hoarding and both vehicular and pedestrian gates to Rodney Road and Balfour Street to facilitate a haul road between Rodney Road and Victory Place (please refer to Appendix 1: Site Logistics Plan for further information) Connections to temporary utilities for site accommodation Installation of site accommodation and welfare facilities Facilitation of tree pruning, tree removal and installation of tree protection measures as per the Tree Protection Plan submitted to satisfy planning condition number 26 Establishment of fire escape routes / systems & emergency plans Installation of temporary power, lighting and water services
4.3 Enabling Works (from circa July 2013)

The implementation of construction work on site including further enabling works are outlined below: Installation of utilities, diversions, new electricity sub-station, supplies and connections as agreed with the statutory authorities Creation of a temporary access route as shown in Appendix 1: Logistics Plan Excavation and installation of storm water attenuation tanks, reinforced concrete crane bases, reinforced concrete raft foundations, deep drainage and service routing between plots R1 and R2 Remediation/removal of any contamination hotspots where relevant
4.4
Substructure (from circa August 2013)
The following works occur at the same time as the enabling works detailed in section 4 and include: A reduced level dig for the raft foundations, the storm water attenuation tank, the tower crane bases, deep drainage and service ducts for the CHP distribution etc. will be undertaken. New foundations will be concrete raft construction of varying thickness. Three tower cranes will be erected in due time to assist with the erection of the frame formwork and concrete placing. The tower cranes will also be utilised for the superstructure, the SFS frame, the scaffold erection/scaffold strike, the brick work and rain screen cladding faades, the bulk loading out and the balcony install. Static or mobile concrete pumps will be employed in placing concrete.
10
Larger mechanical plant may be placed as ground level construction proceeds for ease of access. Excavate, lay and test underground drainage, coordinate and install incoming services to plot, backfill including concrete surround and drainage suspension system Trim and prepare ground floor slab formation including concrete blinding and waterproofing system; Install ground floor slabs where ground bearing/raft Fix rebar, shutter and pour ground floor slabs
4.5
Superstructure/Frame (from circa September 2013)
The superstructure works include: All buildings will utilise traditional reinforced concrete formwork methods, however buildings R2B and R2C have two and three floors respectively of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) above two floors of RC Concrete framing. CLT is a modern means of construction utilising mechanically dried Spruce timber boards from sustainable sources, glued at right angles between 3 and 7 layers thick, dependant on the structural requirements and fabricated off site. As a whole, CLT is a more efficient and sustainable building material than traditional resources, being prefabricated off site it can be constructed faster whilst reducing the buildings carbon footprint. Set up safety exclusion zone around the foundations, fix core wall steel and assembly core wall shutters Core shutters will be installed as the frame rises, operative access to the working decks will be via Haki staircases, rebar lifted by tower crane, concrete pumped using concrete placing boom supplemented by tower crane Pre-Cast concrete Core stairs will be installed as soon as the deck and core is completed and shutters removed they will be progressively installed as the frame rises. The floor slabs will be constructed using traditional formwork methods Pre cast Stairs will be installed in the cores as early as possible to provide operative vertical access to reduce reliance on external Haki staircases.
4.6
Raised Courtyard (circa 20 weeks)
The raised courtyard structure will comprise of suspended reinforced concrete slabs with vertical concrete elements constructed using traditional formwork methods, it is planned to be completed as early as possible to give an additional material logistics area, and also once waterproofed it will provide the roof to the Lend Lease Welfare and Office area based in the Car Park.
4.7
Envelope, Roof, Shell and Core (from circa November 2013)
Cladding to the buildings will predominantly be single skin masonry with a steel frame system or similar panellised backing wall. Materials will be handled by tower cranes, tele-handlers and goods/ passenger hoists operating externally to the facade. Access for operatives will be from inside the floor plates of the new building and from Haki stairs attached to the external scaffolds. At completion of the lift installation, beneficial use will be allocated for distribution of materials only. Balconies will be prefabricated structures erected by tower crane with operatives accessing bolted connections from the adapted scaffolding surrounding the building. Balconies are installed as the scaffold is struck. Where required, mechanical plant and roof materials will be placed by tower crane. Once this is complete the cranes will be used to install the balconies.
4.8
Fit Out and Finishes and external works (from circa November 2013)
11
The fit out, finishes and external works include: The roof waterproofing system will be installed as soon as the roof concrete slab has cured to achieve the earliest watertight date for all buildings; Fit out of residential units including bathroom construction will use traditional techniques and trade sequences, serviced by tower cranes, loading bays, external hoists and beneficial use of lifts in the buildings. Residential units will be completed from roof downwards and handed over following hoist removal and mechanical and electrical services commissioning. As the envelope completes the tower cranes and electric hoists will be removed. Operative movements and materials for the fitting out of apartments will continue with the beneficial use of the internal lifts. Throughout the fit out, prefabricated components will be utilised where practical to limit the extent of site works. The carpark will provide residential car and motorcycle parking, cycle storage and include associated access/egress. Public realm landscaping to Paragon Row, Balfour Street, Rodney Road and Victory Place Completion and installation of Section 278 works these works outside the site will be phased in such a way to minimise disruption to users of the surrounding streets, some temporary footpath and road closures will be required to complete these works which include: o Victory Place o Rodney Road works to the end of Paragon Row, Victory Place, the cycle crossover and layby o Balfour street formation of new carpark entrance and works to the end of Victory Place and Paragon Row, installation of new street trees and service diversions, Landscaping of the raised courtyard Landscaping to front and rear gardens for ground level homes

5 Site Logistics and Setup

5.1 Logistics by Phase
This section describes the general principles of the site logistics during the key construction phases including: Hoarding, Access, Egress and Tree Protection Enabling works, Drainage and Foundations Crane Bases, Service Ducts and Tower Crane Erection Frame Erection, Hoists and Preston platforms Envelope Podium structure Fit out
5.1.1 Pre-Implementation Works and Enabling Works (including drainage and foundations)
During the first 6 weeks of the works, the site will be fully enclosed by a 2.4m high hoarding system. Vehicular and pedestrian security gates will be installed on Rodney Road (access) and Balfour Street (egress). During the earliest elements of the works, access and egress will be via Balfour Street as a temporary crossover needs to be formed across the pavement on Rodney Road to form the main site vehicular access point. Formation of the temporary crossover will take place during the school summer holiday period in July 2013 to maintain the safety of the schoolchildren and minimise the impact on local residents. A temporary footpath will be installed during the crossover construction as discussed with LBS Highways within the boundary of the site Formation of this temporary cross over will ensure that disruption to residents is minimised as far as possible as it will eventually provide one way access through the site during the main works phase which will reduce the traffic impact to both Balfour St and Rodney Road. This also provides the ability to manage traffic flow safely; negating the need for vehicles to travel in and out of Balfour St to access the site. The tree protection zones will be established as described in the details submitted for planning condition 26, fenced and signage placed. Temporary site cabins and welfare cabins will be delivered and placed in an area not affected by the enabling works. Suspension of some of the parking bays on Balfour Street will be agreed with the Local Authority to provide a pit lane for lifting of materials and waste management for the site. This will be in place for approximately 12 months from August 2013 and will operate during the hours of 7.30am to 5.30pm. The pit lane will be formed of Water filled Jersey barriers and managed by a traffic marshall at all times. The pit lane will still allow good cyclist and vehicular access down Balfour Street. Pedestrian access will not be available during operation of the pit lane down this side of Balfour Street, however the other footpath will remain open. Utilising a vehicular pit lane, avoids double handling by the tower cranes (jockey lifts), the pit lane is deconstructed outside of the site working hours and weekends. See Appendix 1: Logistics Plan.
13
Following construction of the temporary crossover for the first 3-4 months of the works, the vehicle count will be high due to the volume of excavated material, steel reinforcement and concrete deliveries which will be required, please refer to Appendix 3 for Vehicle flows. HGVs at this stage of the works will mostly be shorter wheelbase rigid vehicles (muck away and concrete) and will enter the site from Rodney Road and exit onto Balfour Street. Wheel cleaning facilities will be provided at the site exits using large collection gullies and water hose as the site is not large enough to warrant a fully automated drive-on wheel wash. Concrete will be delivered directly to the point of pouring by concrete wagon or poured into a concrete pump for access to all areas of the site. Sheet materials (hoardings and accommodation) would generally be offloaded by a suitable vehicle i.e. vehicle with crane attachment, forklift or rough terrain tele-handler. Temporary footpath closures and diversions will be installed as required whilst the hoardings are erected and there will be a major temporary footpath diversion whilst the temporary vehicle crossover is formed for the site entrance on Rodney Road
5.1.2 Crane Bases, Service Ducts, Tower Crane Erection, RC Frames and CLT Frames
The crane bases will be constructed as reinforced concrete raft foundations with a tower crane mast section cast within, they will be set low enough to be sacrificial, the level will also allow for the service ducts and drainage to pass above them if required. Erection of the tower cranes will commence upon proof of Cube test results reaching required strength. The reinforced concrete frames will commence on buildings R1A followed by R2A and R2E following the erection of the tower cranes and continue across the site. These are identified on the logistics plan. Generally, the construction of the Development is concrete frame, however, the upper levels of buildings R2B and R2C will be constructed from cross laminated timber (CLT) frames once the lower two floors have been constructed. This means that the apartment levels of these buildings will be constructed from CLT and this will commence during Q1 2014. Use of CLT on Site is a modern method of construction and will provide a number of benefits both during the construction process and following completion. CLT is a material which is comes in sections ready to assemble on site and requires only a small skilled team to erect the structure. The installation process itself will be a much quieter and quicker process than concrete frame and will also provide a safer environment both for operatives and the community whilst it is assembled. Following practical completion, it will provide benefits to residents as it has good insulator qualities and air tightness which will require less heating. As the material is timber, it is also much easier to undertake DIY. CLT sequesters carbon and does not create as much carbon emissions as concrete construction.
5.1.3 Building Envelope

The largest portion of the faade construction will be a light gauge steel frame inner skin (SFS) with a masonry outer wall and elements of rainscreen cladding panels on upper levels of the taller buildings. The methodology adopted for construction of the building envelope comprises traditional scaffolding to all of the buildings. The outer skin materials of facades will be moved into position on all of the buildings by tower cranes, platform hoist and scaffold loading bays. For brick elevations to the lower floors of the buildings fronting Paragon Row some materials will be supplied to the work face by tele-handler forklift with paletted materials being off loaded and loaded out of the loading bays.
14
Bulk roofing materials and stair case pop-ups will be delivered by tower crane to roof level. Platform hoists will be taken to roof level for on-going sundry materials and final roof materials.
5.1.4
Fit Out
All materials for the fit out will be delivered using a Just In Time (JIT) approach and will be distributed to working floors by the methods described above including tower cranes, hoist and beneficial use of the passenger lifts.
5.2
Consents and Licenses
All statutory consents & licences required to commence an onsite activity will be obtained ahead of elements of works commencing and allowing for the appropriate statutory notice period. These will include: Notices for works on the Highway in accordance with the Highways Act 1980 (Ref 5-5) and Road Traffic Act 1998 (ref. 5-6) Hoarding and scaffold licences for works on the perimeter boundary Construction Notices Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act: 1974 Connections to existing utilities and main sewers Licence to discharge water from the Site into the public sewer Approval of the CEMP Consents will be obtained from the relevant authority where tower cranes oversail the public highway The construction programme and precise requirements for aeronautical obstacle lighting to the mast of the tower cranes will be discussed with the appropriate airport and the Civil Aviation Authority when the construction programme and crane methodology is finalised and prior to work starting on the tallest building on the Site
5.3
Site Establishment and Security
Upon taking possession of the Site, the first stage of the construction programme will be to establish the area as a construction site The working areas will be secure and the general public will be separated from the works by the use of solid timber hoarding, vehicular gates and pedestrian gated entrances. Where required, temporary hoardings will be provided on short term boundaries All site facilities will be contained within the site area All gates will be maintained by security officers during working hours Flood-lighting in areas adjacent to sensitive receptors (i.e. nearby residential properties) will generally be limited to the working hours identified in this document Site lighting will be kept to a minimum taking into account the needs of site health, safety and security
5.4
Asbestos Removal
It has been assumed that there will be no asbestos on site due to all the previous structures having been removed. In the eventuality of asbestos discovery, its removal will be undertaken in line with industry best practice and statutory requirements and the relevant notices will be served.
15
5.5
Demolition
Demolition of the buildings has already been undertaken on site to ground level. Demolition and removal of the existing substation and housing and the previous building foundations forms the basis of a works package managed by Lend Lease on behalf of the London Borough of Southwark, which upon completion will leave the site clear for the pre-implementation and enabling works.
5.6 Hoarding
The current fencing around the site will be replaced with 2.4m high hoarding. Security gates will be installed at the Rodney Road/Paragon Row, Balfour Street/New Carpark Entry and Balfour Street/Paragon Row junctions. Please refer to Appendix 1: Site Logistics Plan. Additional pedestrian gates with turnstile security will be installed off Victory Place. When specific works within the highway are required these will be secured by temporary hoarding
5.7 Site Accommodation

It is expected that approximately 25 LL staff will be present on site full time who will oversee and manage the construction process and that circa 250 site operatives will generally be based on site. Due to site constraints, accommodation for site workers will be installed in a number of phases (see Appendix 1: Logistics Plan for further details) these are: Initially, accommodation will be a small temporary unit to allow for site setup; The first location for a full accommodation set up during the enabling works will be located at R1C; Following construction of the raised courtyard, the accommodation will be located under the raised courtyard. For the final phase of works (completion of R1B and R1C) the accommodation will be located within the hoarding line for this phase and will be of a reduced size. The required site accommodation will comprise of the following: Lend Lease Staff Offices for 25 plus meeting and administrative space; Canteen to seat 150 with full kitchen, servery and stores to suit; Drying room with 400 lockers (in tiers to save space); Male and female toilets, showers, and washing facilities; Welfare and multi-faith prayer room; Security office; Induction Room; and, Contractors hot desk office facility. The total space required for the above is circa 1,000m2. This space is to be located within the parking and storage areas beneath the raised courtyard. Access will be via security controlled turnstiles in the perimeter hoarding on Victory Place and Balfour Street giving PPE free entry from the street with the minimum of protected walkways. In addition to the main accommodation, a small security gate cabin will be located at the vehicle gates to Rodney Road and Balfour Street to manage access safely.
5.8 Security Control

Site access will be controlled in accordance with Lend Lease security and safety protocols. All operatives, staff and escorted visitors will be required to comply with minimum safety standards before being issued with a pass. Personnel gates will be controlled by secure turnstiles for entry and exit. No pedestrian access will be permitted through vehicle gates.
16
5.9
Material Storage and Handling
Contractors and their subcontractors will maintain a tidy site and operate a Just in Time policy for the delivery and supply of materials for the works in order to minimise disruption to the local community. This is particularly important during the final phase of the works when on site storage will be at a minimum; Any materials that are required to be stored on Site will be sufficiently protected to minimise damage by vehicles, vandals, weather or theft; Tanks and drums of liquid chemicals and fuels are not encouraged but where unavoidable they will be stored in bunded compounds. Packaging will be returned, wherever possible, and minimised by design Deliveries of potentially hazardous materials will be supervised and a Just-In-Time delivery system will be implemented to minimise storage times and reduce the risk of environmental incidents on the Site; Tower cranes will be used for general unloading and hoisting during the structural and envelope works. Where unloading in the pit lane (see 5.1.1) is required, provisions will be agreed and licensed with Southwark Council. Passenger/goods materials hoists will be used to hoist materials to the floors, and fork lift trucks used to distribute and transport faade materials to loading bays and hoist positions along Paragon Row.
5.10 Visitor Management

Visitors will only be allowed to enter the Site via designated pedestrian Security access gates leading to a dedicated segregated footpath to the main site offices for registration and obtaining PPE prior to entering the Site; and, Visitors will be expected to attend a specific site induction unless being accompanied by a member of the site team. Anybody visiting the site for more than a single visit of up to a day or who intends a repeat visit will be required to undergo the Lend Lease Incident and Injury Free Induction to ensure that they have a shared understanding of the implications of health and safety in a construction environment and of Lend Leases approach to ensuring that everyone leaves the site in the same condition they arrived.
5.11 Construction Traffic Management

The works will be carried out in such a way that inconvenience to the public arising from increases in traffic flows and disruptive effects of construction traffic on local and main roads is limited wherever practical. All diverted or replaced rights of way will be notified in advance and where appropriate, temporary routes will be provided. A key principle of the traffic management strategy is to ensure the safety of all personnel (drivers & pedestrians). This means that separate dedicated routes will be established for vehicles and pedestrians. The onsite traffic flow will change through the course of the development, however a one way system will be used, with designated areas for unloading which prevents, reversing and turning. All site traffic will be subject to speed restrictions. Failure to comply with onsite traffic rules shall result in appropriate measures being taken. Vehicles and pedestrians will be segregated on the one way system and at site entrances by means of physical barriers. Site operatives will be required to wear high visibility clothing, Banksmen will be clearly and separately identified in Orange Hi Viz clothing. Plant operators and drivers will be required to hold valid certificates and to have undergone the relevant safety training. Specific materials storage areas will be identified for each area of the site and managed as the interface locations between the bulk deliveries and the on-site distribution by forklifts, cranes and hoists.
17
Dedicated circulation routes for site spoil movement will be set up and segregated where possible from the material delivery route. For large pre-planned loads, or abnormal loads, Southwark Council, Metropolitan Police guidelines and designated routes will be complied with. Site routes within the Development will not change during the construction sequence and are designed to provide the safest, most economical traffic circulation and the minimum environmental impact through noise and dust. Site personnel access to the site will be via security-manned posts/gates and will be segregated from on-site construction traffic by means of vehicular barriers/fencing/hoardings etc. A Traffic Management Plan will be developed for the project (in accordance with the HSE Guide The Safe use of Vehicles on Construction Sites) prior to works commencing. This will take into account current legislation, Police, Fire Authority and HSE Guidance, Local Authority Transport Schemes and neighbourhood Lorry Restrictions. The Traffic Management Plan will be reviewed and updated in line with the construction programme and will typically include details of the following:
Temporary traffic control measures; Temporary and permanent access to the works for personnel/vehicles; Off-loading and storage areas; Traffic management procedures for waste disposal vehicles; Personnel and vehicle segregation; Equipment, e.g. road cones, temporary fencing and signage etc; Ensuring all work is planned and method statements prepared detailing safe systems of work; Ensuring that all sub/trade contractors make adequate provision for vehicle selection and supervision of drivers; i.e. their own Banks men/Traffic Marshall Making vehicle safety an integral part of the Development health and safety plan; Defining standards for driver competence, vehicle safety and maintenance; as per the Southwark Council and TfL guidelines and initiatives. Ensuring co-ordination and co-operation between contractors; Ensuring all workers receive site induction training covering safe traffic routes and site rules for operating vehicles; Establishing safety monitoring procedures for the use of vehicles on site e.g. permit to work etc. ; and HGV drivers working on or delivering to the site will be required to undertake the Southwark Council cyclists awareness course.
5.11.1 Construction Routes & Access

Due to the positioning of the Site and restricted access, construction traffic routes are being discussed and agreed with Southwark Council, Transport for London (TfL) and other stakeholders including the Stead St development as part of a joint construction group to coordinate works. Construction vehicle movements will be restricted to the main arterial routes where possible and through discussion, the routes into the site will be agreed and installed into the contractors orders. Please refer to Appendix 2: Site Vehicle Access for the proposed routes of vehicular access to the Site. The most appropriate routes for construction traffic are the main TfL road network routes to access the Site, which would be via the A2 to the South Circular (A205) and then beyond. Some construction traffic
18
would use Blackfriars Road, Farringdon Road to Euston Road to the north. Please see Appendix 2: Site Vehicle Access The construction programme commences in Q3 2013, there will be a peak in HGV trips coinciding with the busiest periods of construction please refer to Appendix 3: Site Traffic Study On the basis of 5 working days per week and a 10-hour working day, five to six hourly HGV construction trips may be expected within the peak period as outlined in Appendix 3. For most of the construction programme, vehicle numbers will approximately be half compared to the peak periods as outlined in Appendix 3: Site Traffic Study. Movements of large or unusual loads will be addressed in advance with the relevant highway authorities and the police in order to ensure compliance with regulations and to provide advance notification for local residents. The Site is located close to the Elephant and Castle rail and underground stations and a number of bus stops. Given this proximity to public transport services, it is envisaged that the majority of construction personnel would travel to Site by public transport, there is no provision for onsite parking and this will be advised in placement of Contractors Orders and further reinforced during the site inductions. In addition, the passage of vehicular traffic to and from the Site would adhere to the environmental procedures contained within the Environmental Management Plans and enforced on all contractors involved within the Development.
5.11.2 Offloading and Storage Areas

Vehicles will be directed to their designated delivery point or holding/storage areas, which will be marshalled by logistics personnel at all times especially during unloading/manoeuvring activities, ensuring that only authorised personnel are given access. All site deliveries will be notified in advance to the on site Lend Lease logistics team and access slots will be allocated with no deliveries being accepted between 08.15 and 09.00 or between 15.15 and 16.00 this being due to the close proximity of Victory Primary School to the Site. The provision of an onsite holding area where early or late arrivals can be held to assist in regulating traffic flow into the Site will be provided where possible and will be adjusted in line with phasing requirements of the construction activities. Where possible no delivery vehicle will leave the site empty. A take-back policy will be encouraged whereby all returning vehicles will take associated waste/packaging with them on their return journey for recycling.
5.11.3 Personnel, Public and Vehicle Segregation

All pedestrian routes on and around the site will be clearly defined utilising the perimeter hoarding / temporary fencing, vehicle barriers and pedestrian route signage with traffic marshalls at all public interfaces. Pedestrian crossover routes will have appropriate warning signs displayed, e.g. give-way signs, vehicles crossing etc. All site operatives will be given a specific site induction, and briefed with reference to the use of designated pedestrian access ways and crossover points.
19
5.11.4 Temporary Road Closures

Part of our measures to mitigate the impact of construction activities will be to create temporary footpath closures and diversions as required whilst the hoardings are erected and works within the public highway are completed on Victory Place, Rodney Road and Balfour Street. Any closure will be closely monitored by site operatives to ensure safe access and egress to the site. Temporary Road closures may be required in order to establish and remove the tower cranes or to deliver large items of building plant and infrastructure items. This will be agreed with Southwark Council and TfL in advance. A temporary Road closure will be required to complete the works to Victory Place which will be programmed for school holidays as far as reasonably practicable. Notices regarding any planned closures and diversions of either roads or footpaths will be given to Southwark Council, Bus Companies, TfL, the police, fire brigade and other emergency services. Southwark Council generally will undertake the relevant letter drop to the local residents should a road closure or diversion be required, however should an unforeseen emergency arise and with Southwark Councils approval LL will undertake the notification.

6 Infrastructure Works
6.1 Utility Infrastructure Works
Separate soil / waste and rainwater drainage has been designed to connect to the existing below ground drainage infrastructure
6.2
Footway and Road Diversions
The development includes amendments to Victory Place. This involves removing the turning head and rationalising the kerb to the north of building R1A as contained within the Planning permission. The works also include installation of bollards and raising of the roadway to create a shared surface. A new layby and cycle turning point is being installed on Rodney Road and new car park entry from Balfour Street which amend the footpath slightly in line with the planning permission. No further permanent or long-term footpath or road diversions or closures outside of the Site are envisaged, should this situation change consent would be obtained from Southwark Council. Furthermore, prior notices regarding planned closures and diversions of roads would be given to the Metropolitan Police, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEP) and other emergency services.
6.3
Utilities Diversions
Utilities disconnections have been undertaken as part of the demolition completed by LBS process to provide a clear site. There will be limited utility diversions required for installations of trees on Balfour Street and potentially on Rodney Road for works to the lay by and carpark entry. Disruption to existing services and highways will be minimised where possible, however, this will be dependent upon discussions with the statutory providers. Lend Lease will manage the installation of the utility infrastructure within the site to the point of connection on the site boundary. Lend Lease will coordinate the routes for on-site distribution of new utility services thus avoiding any tree root zones and soft landscaping.
6.4
Public realm
6.4.1 Tree Management

Where trees are identified for retention, construction work will be undertaken in accordance with relevant guidelines in BS 5837:2012 (Trees in relation to Construction - recommendations) and in line with our Tree Protection Plan submitted as part of detailed planning. To ensure that any construction within close proximity of these trees is undertaken without significantly impacting on them. Retained trees will also be adequately protected from damage throughout the construction process. An arboricultural method statement will be prepared detailing how all root protection areas will be protected.

7 Safety, Health and Environmental Considerations during Construction

7.1 General Safety, Health and Environmental Consideration
Lend Lease is committed to operating Incident & Injury Free wherever we have a presence and exploring every opportunity to have a positive impact on the environment. The Groups Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) approach is based on this Vision and is supported by the Operating Discipline and Behaviours within the organisation. The linked elements of Vision, Operating Discipline and Behaviours form the core of the EH&S culture at Lend Lease. Lend Lease strives to go beyond mere compliance with statutory and organisational minimum requirements hence its introduced a set of Global Minimum Requirements (GMRs) which set out the Lend Lease minimum environment, health and safety standards designed to control the risks associated with both asset and construction operations. The GMRs include common criteria for the planning and delivery of assets and construction operations, with the physical GMR standards being established for asset and construction operations separately due to the differing nature of hazards and activities. The GMRs apply to all Lend Lease operations which include construction projects, developments, offices, and assets we develop, control, maintain, own, or operate. The centrepiece of Lend Lease EH&S culture is what is termed Uncompromising Leadership. This requires leaders at all levels of the organisation to not only understand the vision of the organisation, but also the systems, standards and responsibilities applicable to them. This will enable leaders to continually make decisions that contribute towards eliminating incidents and injuries and create positive EH&S outcomes within assets we develop, control, maintain, own, or operate. Construction works will be carried out in such a way as to limit, as far as is practicable, adverse environmental impacts and works will be carried out in accordance with the following general provisions: Planning approvals from Southwark Council Lend Lease Incident and Injury Free Procedures Lend Lease Global Minimum Requirements Considerate Constructors Scheme Requirements of highways and utility authorities Design for durability and low maintenance Design for flexibility and adaptability Use of materials from sustainable sources Use of local materials where possible Safety, health and environmental issues on the Development are the primary factor in influencing the construction methods adopted. The construction team will develop detailed health and safety plans, specific environmental, fire and accident procedures to suit the construction sequences of the development. It is intended to agree a protocol process with Southwark Council Environmental Services Division under Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act: 1974 in relation to controlling hours of operation, noise, vibration and pollution impacts of equipment used on the Site. Contractors involved in the development will ensure: That all non-English speaking employees are provided with relevant health and safety information in their national language
23
That adequate multi-lingual supervision is provided so as to ensure that employees continue to be adequately and effectively informed and supervised on all matters affecting their health and safety That suitable bi-lingual arrangements are in place to ensure that statutory related matters are complied with All contractors will be required to adopt the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) or equivalent skills certification. This will be combined with the Lend Lease in house Incident and Injury Free (IIF) health and safety training scheme for 100% of personnel involved with the project including all sub-contractor personnel who will be involved in the project for over a day. General operatives will be required to complete the health and safety training element of the CSCS scheme and may be given the opportunity to pursue a relevant NVQ qualification. All contractor supervisors will receive additional Lend Lease training, this is a pre requisite to any orders being placed. A formal Health & Safety Policy Statement will be adopted, in accordance with the requirements of the Health & Safety Executive and other statutory and local authority guidelines. Compliance with the following mandatory provisions will be carefully monitored and where required enforced: COSHH, 1999 Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, 1998 Highly flammable Liquids & Petroleum Gases Regulations, 1972 Health & Safety at Work Act, 1974 Mandatory attendance at Lend Leases Incident & Injury Free (IIF) training programme
7.2
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
All substances coming onto site and all work activities which may involve or generate hazardous substances will be managed and controlled in accordance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH), 1999 and best practice guidance, such as that published by the Environment Agency. Examples of the control measures to be employed are as follows: All fuels and chemicals will be stored in designated areas, with deliveries of all hazardous materials supervised Storage tank or container facilities will be appropriately bunded with designated areas as far as possible from any watercourses or surface drains In case of spills or discharges, immediate remedial action will be undertaken in line with Lend Leases Health and Safety Plan. A logistics plan will be developed to take into account the management and control of hazardous substances on site. Personal protective equipment (PPE) suitable to prevailing conditions will be used by all construction workers.
7.3
Outline Environmental, Emergency Fire and Accident Procedures
7.3.1 Environmental Incident Procedures

Measures will be carried out to avoid environmental incidents, however if these occur then the following types must be reported to the responsible person within the construction team. The overall strategy in the event of a spillage will be to Stop-Contain-Notify (SCN)
24
Spills or discharges to the atmosphere, water supplies, sewerage systems, rivers and other watercourses, or to the ground of:
Any chemical product or formulation Oils and fuels Effluents/fumes and gases Waste or contaminated materials
Damage to existing:
Trees and wildlife Flora and existing local habitats

Any environmental incident that could lead to
Local authority or regulatory enforcement Public complaint
7.3.2 Fire and Emergency Routes and Procedures

Emergency routes and procedures will be continuously adapted to suit the construction sequence and stage of the development. An Emergency Fire and Accident plan will be prepared, generally following the guidelines for plan contents below and updated on a regular basis to take account of construction progress: Definition of the management organisation and responsibility for safety Definition of appropriate fire prevention measures, including good housekeeping of site, welfare facilities and offices Use of non flammable/fire retardant materials for protection of finished works Safe use and safe storage of flammable materials of all categories, whether solid, liquid or gas Appropriate waste management procedures Monitoring the type and frequency of fire inspection/audits Suitable site accommodation location, construction and detection/fire fighting systems During construction, the installation of temporary detection and alarm systems, together with appropriate use of existing systems and early use of final as installed systems when possible Development of evacuation plans, to include escape routes, muster stations, means of sounding alarms and the setting of systems in place to ensure that emergency vehicles have been called and all personnel have safely left the area Training and fire drills The application of permit systems for Hot Works, Confined Space Entry and Electrical Access Control; The provision of Fire Watchers and First Aiders Checking that emergency routes/exits are available and unobstructed at all times Dissemination of the plan Continuous liaison with fire brigade/police/ambulance services and other emergency services, plus clients/occupants of adjacent buildings The Emergency Fire and Accident Plan as outlined above will be developed in consultation with the local Fire Brigade and emergency services. As sites are dynamic environments, emergency planning will be under constant and critical review to ensure the continued relevance of the plan and procedures. This will be the responsibility of the Site Logistics Manager. First aid facilities will also be established in locations as appropriate around the site.
25
7.4
Particular Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations
Where trees are identified for retention construction work will be undertaken in accordance with relevant guidelines in BS 5837 : 2005 Trees in relation to Construction recommendations to ensure that any construction within close proximity of these trees is undertaken without significantly impacting on them. An arboricultural method statement will be produced detailing step by step mitigation procedures required when working close Retained trees will be adequately protected from damage throughout the demolition and construction works, tree protection measures will include some or all of the following: Assessment of location of roots The Root Protection Areas (RPA) will be designated as a construction exclusion zone (CEZ) within which trees will be protected from activities that have a potential to cause damage. CEZs will be appropriately protected, e.g. fencing. Any works within a CEZ will need to be undertaken by hand. generated in accordance with BS5837:2012provides a sufficient precautionary zone where rooting conditions are more or less open, unobstructed and level Where root conditions are such that it is not possible to confidently accept the RPA as providing a more or less accurate illustration of the location of roots then it will be necessary to carry out soil investigation to ascertain location of roots Prepare detailed Arboricultural Method Statements for specific operations near trees Training (e.g. tool box talks) in how to avoid tree damage Facilitation Pruning Supervision of sensitive operations and regular monitoring by an Arboricultural Consultant Appropriate Tree Protection Fencing and Barriers Appropriate Ground Protection measures Contingency planning. Works close to TfL Highway Routes: Works shall be carried out in accordance with Southwark Council and TfL approval procedures for all activities in close proximity to existing assets.
7.5
Air Quality
7.5.1 General Provisions

Construction works will be carried out in such a way as to limit the emissions to air of pollutants (particularly dust and fine particles (PM10)), employing Best Practicable Means. The site will be managed to minimise the potential effects on air quality from construction.
7.5.2 Effective material storage and handling

Handling and storage areas will be sited as far away as is reasonably and practically possible from public/residential areas. Handling and storage areas will be actively managed and fine, dry material will be stored inside enclosed shield/coverings or within a central storage area. Any storage areas that are not enclosed will be covered / sheeted. Prolonged storage of debris on site will be avoided.
26
7.5.3 Construction Plant

Construction plant can be a significant source of emissions although control measures can be implemented to minimise any adverse impacts. The following measures will be employed: Site plant and equipment will be kept in good repair and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. Plant will be selected on the basis of which has the least potential for dust and emissions. Plant will not be left running when not in use. Plant with dust arrestment equipment will be used where practical. Where practical, cleaner fuels will be employed for construction plant Enclosures will be erected around major construction plant items as appropriate and where practical.
7.5.4 Vehicle Movements

Vehicle movements may result in dust emissions (by re-suspending dust from the road or from spilling dusty loads) and exhaust emissions. However, a number of control measures can be adopted to eliminate or minimise such emissions: Wheel washing facilities on site to prevent mud from construction operations being transported on to adjacent public roads; Damping down of site haul roads by water bowser during prolonged dry periods; Regular wet cleaning of hard-surfaced roads used to enter site with sweeper vehicle. Ensuring that dusty materials are transported appropriately (e.g. sheeting of vehicles carrying spoil and other dusty materials); Confinement of vehicles to designated haul routes within the site; Restricting vehicle speeds on haul roads and other unsurfaced areas on the site; Hoarding and gates to prevent dust breakout; and Appropriate dust site monitoring will be included within the site management practices to inform site management of the success of dust control measures used.
7.5.5 Dust
Control measures would be implemented to prevent the release of potentially contaminated dust entering the atmosphere and / or being deposited on nearby receptors. These would include the use of water sprayers and hoarding, dust covers, the restriction of drop heights onto lorries and appropriate storage locations of dusty materials. Dust control will be best achieved at sources, and if possible activities will be carried out in a manner so as to preclude dust generation. Dust levels will be controlled and, if required, consent sought from the Southwark Council under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990 and local policy guidelines, to ensure that the Development is operated in a way which is not detrimental to the amenity of local residents. If dust is generated, steps will initially be taken to protect workers in the vicinity who shall, as a minimum, be issued with dust masks. Dust will, if possible, be contained in the location in which it is generated, and be controlled and managed therein. Dust suppression measures will be carried out to ensure that dust nuisance affecting neighbouring properties is minimised.
27
Dust emissions from construction will be controlled through careful pre-project planning and effective site management. The following control measures and good management practices, will be employed:
Site operations will be planned to take into account local topography, prevailing wind patterns and local sensitive receptors e.g. schools, residences and ecological designated sites; Burning and materials on site will be prohibited; Loading and unloading will only be permitted in designated areas; Provision of water sprays and wind/dust fences where possible, particularly in dust sensitive locations, for example, during demolition works. Water spraying and/or screening will be undertaken prior to and during demolition; Stockpiles of soil, arising or other granular material will be sheeted and/or treated using Dust Buster or similar to prevent dust raising that may cause risk to health or nuisance to the public; An appointed person will oversee/control activities and handle complaints; and Dust on tree foliage will be minimised where practical.
7.6
Ecology
All construction works will be carefully planned and managed to minimise and mitigate their potential environmental impact through implementation of this plan as agreed with all relevant statutory bodies (Southwark Council, the Environment Agency (EA) and Natural England). Procedures to minimise risk of pollution incidents relating to machinery or building materials will be as agreed with the EA and facilities installed for rapid appropriate response to any accidental spillages. During ecology surveys carried out at the Site in 2011, no suitable roosting habitat for bats was found to be present, so it is highly unlikely that disturbance of bat roosts during tree removal works will occur. Notwithstanding this, should roosting bats be discovered during tree removal, works will cease and an appropriate mitigation strategy will be agreed with and approved by Natural England. The removal of trees on the Site will be undertaken outside the bird breeding season, wherever possible. However, where works are required to be undertaken during the bird breeding season an ecologist will inspect any trees to be felled, scrub and/or tall vegetation to be cleared within 24 hours prior to clearance. A strategy of eradication or control of noxious weeds will be developed before works commence. Monitoring, control and eradication will take place on a continual basis. Japanese Knotweed (Reynutria japonica) has not been identified to date.
7.7
Noise and Vibration
7.7.1 General Provision

In a project of this scale and nature, it is recognised that noise, vibration and dust could give rise to local disturbance. These impacts are an inevitable consequence of the HGV traffic, and other heavy construction activities. Site-specific best practice measures, and the principles of best practicable means (BPM), as defined in the Control of Pollution Act (CoPA) 1974 would therefore be implemented
28
by contractors to minimise the disturbance to local residents and other potentially sensitive receptors. These measures would include: appropriate and well maintained hoardings constructed on the boundaries of adjacent noisesensitive premises; careful selection of construction methods and plant, including its location, to be used; switching off plant when not in use; regular maintenance and servicing of vehicles, equipment and plant; operational hours (to be agreed with Southwark Council); the use of temporary acoustic barriers where appropriate and the use of enclosures and screens around noisy fixed plant where practicable; appropriate handling and storage of materials; damping down surfaces during dry weather; the use of dust screens; adherence to relevant British Standards; and An appropriate choice of plant that would ensure compliance with the vibration targets agreed with Southwark Council.
7.7.2 Construction Noise

Off-site infrastructure works, excavations and foundation construction will be among the most significant activities. The noisiest activities are likely to be concreting operations although, the levels generated would not be considered to be significant. As construction commences above ground, there will be noise from works support element such as scaffolding and formwork erection but the majority of activities and plant (e.g. concrete pumping) are considered to generate low noise levels. On occasions it may prove necessary to carry out noisy activities outside of normal working hours . In such instances prior consultation and agreement will be requested from Southwark Council, with works only commencing once approval received. Where work outside of agreed hours is required, this shall only proceed subject to notification to Southwark Council Environmental Health Officer and approval.
7.8
Soils and Contamination
7.8.1 Existing Conditions

A desk-based study of ground contamination and an intrusive Site Investigation at the Site have established that owing to historical activities on the Site, there is the potential for localised contamination to exist on the Site. Due to the historical redevelopment of the Site, the most likely source of contamination is likely to relate to the presence of Made Ground on the Site. A contamination hot spot has been identified on site within the Site Investigation and details of the removal of this will be agreed with the Local Planning Authority prior to its removal in line with planning condition 10. The strategy for controlling and mitigating potential adverse environmental or health and safety effects during construction will be to adopt the procedures and methods set out within this CEMP.
29
7.9
Waste
7.9.1 General Provision

The disposal of waste generated during construction, including any surplus spoil, will be managed to maximise the environmental and development benefits from the use of surplus material and to reduce any adverse effects of disposal. In general, the principles of the waste management hierarchy, which favours waste minimisation, re-use of materials and recycling over disposal to landfill will be favoured.
7.9.2 Construction and Demolition Waste

Methods for waste reduction will form a basic strategy for construction waste management from the start. These materials will generally be inert or environmentally benign and may have alternative uses elsewhere on the Site. Opportunities will be investigated to maximise the recycling potential of construction materials. Some contaminated materials may be found during the Development. Any contaminated materials that may be generated shall be stored and disposed of in accordance with relevant best practise guidance and legislation. Licensed carriers will remove other residual waste, i.e. general office waste, etc from site to suitable licensed disposal sites. Where possible, segregation and recycling of materials, such as office paper, food waste will be undertaken.
7.9.3 Control during Construction

The contractor will ensure minimisation of wastes arising on site and reuse where possible, either directly or by recycling, waste monitoring and target setting. Recyclable materials such as metal, timber, cardboard and office paper will be put in colour-coded bins, ready for collection by the appropriate contractor Initiatives to reduce other waste streams include as far as practically possible:
Minimising raw material waste through analysing design and construction techniques where possible A commitment to develop waste minimisation opportunities by maintaining a role in the management of the supply chain during construction. Measures such as bulk buying will be utilised to facilitate this. Liaison with suppliers to enable packaging material is to be sent back for reuse, the use of off-cuts where possible and the recycling of off-cut material by the supplier Engaging contractors in the process of maximising the use of recycled aggregates for hardcore and alternative cements according to application
To ensure compliance with legislative requirements, only Environment Agency licensed waste hauliers, waste management contractors and landfill sites will be used Suitable protection measures will be incorporated in the design of the waste management area to prevent pollution, and regular inspections carried out to ensure that stored waste is covered by present accidental spillage and from being blown away Movement of waste by haul road and public highways will avoid, where possible, the use of access routes through residential areas. When leaving site, vehicles will be sheeted/covered to prevent any escape of materials onto the public highway Waste transfer notes will be retained and will fully describe the waste in terms of type, quantity and containment in accordance with relevant regulations. Information regarding the type and quantity of material returned to the supplier and the contractor or contractors will also hold copies of all waste documentation
30
Materials stored on Site for disposal (e.g. spoil arising) will be subject to the provisions of the duty of care, and may require a waste management permit. Where this is identified the permit or any exemption will be managed by Lend Lease
7.10 Water Resources

The works will be carried out and working methods adopted to ensure that construction activities do not disturb ground contamination to adversely affect surface water and ground water quality. The following best practice measures will be adopted:
Discharge to public sewers after prior agreement with Thames Water The existing storm water drainage system will be retained where possible during construction, with modifications made as necessary to prevent ingress of debris utilising silt traps etc. Discharge via sediment traps/settlement tanks or ponds Installation of interceptors Control of spoil and other materials to prevent spillage, particularly during period of high local surface flood risk (September to March), and through appropriate handling and selection of spoil/material storage locations Issues relating to contaminated land affected by the construction, together with proposals for protection of surface and groundwater All drainage arrangements will be determined in consultation with the Environment Agency and Southwark Council Careful siting and bunding of fuel storage facilities and any areas used for the storage of potentially hazardous materials
Appropriate construction techniques will seek to ensure that groundwater seepage into excavated areas does not take place Subject to appropriate discharge consents, water arising during excavation works will be discharged to the surface water drainage network after attenuation in oil/water separators and settlement ponds/tanks. The discharge would be monitored to meet any requirements set by the EA. Any water not meeting the criteria set by the EA would be discharged to sewer and in accordance with Thames Waters requirements Consents to discharge from the Environment Agency or Thames Water may be subject to specified conditions. Monitoring will be undertaken as appropriate and records kept to demonstrate compliance with any specified conditions
7.11 Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP)

At the outset a SWMP will be produced using BREs SMART Waste tool. This includes a waste forecast identifying options for reuse, recycling and avoidance of landfill and to record actual waste arising The SWMP will also record responsibilities for waste management on site, any waste eliminated or reduced through the design process, compliance with the Duty of Care, Environmental Protection Act 1990, and any training or awareness raising measures undertaken and reviews undertaken. It will also provide environmental KPIs which will be used to demonstrate performance levels against specified targets. The SWMP will be used in evidence toward environmental building assessments such as the Code for Sustainable Homes
31
Packages will be bought on the basis of trades disposing of their own major packaging waste in a sustainable fashion as far as possible. For example materials should be packed in re-usable crates which are returned with the delivery transport or recyclable packaging which also leaves site in the same way Shared skips will be provided as necessary for fitting out trades where use will be controlled and segregated at site as far as possible, although space limitations are likely to dictate that segregation will be undertaken away from site by the skip provider
7.12 Hazardous Waste

In anticipation of production of hazardous waste, Trafalgar Place will be registered as a producer of Hazardous Waste with the Environment Agency as required by the Hazardous Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2005 Hazardous wastes will be segregated and stored separately from other waste fractions to avoid contamination and risk to the environment and personnel
7.13 Unexploded Ordinance

The area around the Elephant and Castle sustained relatively high levels of bomb damage during World War II. However, as the Site has been redeveloped since World War II the risk of unexploded ordinance on Site is considered to be low. A desk based Unexploded Ordinance Assessment has been undertaken in line with CIRIA guidance C681 and its recommendations will be followed.
32
8 Community Liaison and Public Relations

8.1 Community Liaison
Throughout the planning process, Lend Lease has sought to engage as widely as possible with the local community and neighbours. This process has involved a range of activities such as newsletters, emails, exhibitions, walk and talks, one to one meetings and meetings with TRAs. During the construction process, Lend Lease will seek to maintain a number of methods to communicate with the local community to keep them informed of progress on the scheme and enable concerns to be voiced and listened to, such as: A regular project newsletter will be circulated to the surrounding streets and works will be coordinated as far as possible with the works ongoing on the Stead St site. Meetings will also be held, either on a one to one basis with particular stakeholders such as Victory Primary school and attendance at local TRAs should residents request attendance. Any special or unusual activities to take place (such as road closures or deliveries of large plant) will be notified by way of a supplementary letter, issued to the relevant neighbours and local amenity centres. A single point of contact will be provided to the neighbouring residents and relevant statutory and non-statutory bodies and a contact telephone number will be provided to ensure clarity of communication and to coordinate any concerns. A complaints register will be established to provide a permanent record of the performance of the project. Any complaint from residents or other parties will be treated seriously, and the complaint logged and cause investigated. Analysis of any complaints made will allow procedures to be implemented with the aim of avoiding any re-occurrence. The site hoarding will be used to display information regarding the Development, in order that the local community and passers-by can be informed of progress. Drop in sessions will be held at the project community hub so that people are able drop in to discuss any questions or concerns with members of the project team directly.
8.2
Considerate Constructors Scheme
The site will be registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme which is administered by the Construction Industry Board. This is a voluntary code of practice that seeks to:
Minimise any disturbance or negative impact (in terms of noise, dirt and inconvenience) sometimes caused by construction sites to the immediate neighbourhood; Eradicate offensive behaviour and language from construction sites; and Recognise and reward the constructors commitment to raise standards of site management, safety and environmental awareness beyond statutory duties.
The scheme requires constructors to adhere to a Code of Practice that includes the following principles:
Be environmentally aware in the selection of resources. Pay particular attention to pollution avoidance and waste management. Use local resources wherever possible and keep to a minimum at all times noise from construction site activity; Be considerate to the needs of all those affected by the construction process and of its impact on the environment. Special attention to be given to the needs of those with sight, hearing or mobility difficulties;
33
Keep the Site clean and in good order and ensure that the surrounding area is kept free from mud, spillage and any unnecessary construction debris; Be a good neighbour by undertaking full and regular consultation with neighbours regarding site activity from pre-start to final handover. Provide site information and viewing facilities where practical; Promote respectable and safe standards of behaviours and dress. Derogatory behaviours shall not be tolerated under threat of the strongest possible disciplinary action; Be safe. All construction operations and vehicle movements to be carried out with care of the safety of passers-by, neighbours and site personnel; Be accountable to the public by providing site contact details and be available to deal with their concerns and develop good local relations; All contractors will be required to adhere to the requirements of the code of practice. Information about the scheme will be provided to all personnel at induction and through on going awareness raising such as posters and tool box talks as appropriate; and The scheme will also be publicised to local residents by the use of appropriate banners and posters with contact details posted at the boundary of the Site.
34
9 Work Force
9.1 Employment and Management Workforce
Catering and other essential welfare facilities will be provided on site. An employment strategy will be delivered in line with the employment and training strategy submitted to LBS. This will be delivered by Lend Lease, BeOnsite, Southwark Council, local agencies, training providers and Contractors. The Contractors will engage with the workplace training coordinator service to encourage local residents to apply to meet the employment requirements of construction.
9.1.1 Contractors Working Agreement Union Involvement

The Contractor will endeavour to ensure that all appropriate measures necessary are taken to maintain good industrial relations in connection with the Development The Contractor will notify Trade Unions of the scheme and estimated timetable. A list of contractors together with, where applicable, the National Joint Council for the Building Industry (NJCBI) register number and/or reference with the Building and Civil Engineering Holiday Scheme Management or its equivalent will also be supplied The contractor/sub contractors (Building Trades) appointed must abide by the terms of National Working Rule Agreements as appropriate. Contractors outside Building Trades are to abide by their national agreements as appropriate An Equal Opportunities Policy will be adopted and contractors (and their subcontractors) must adopt a positive approach to the employment and training of ethnic minority groups.
9.2
Working Hours
Prescribed hours of work will be agreed with Southwark Council. Due to the proximity of residential dwellings and commercial activities to the Site, it is likely that the standard hours of work would be prescribed as follows:
08:00 to 18:00 hours Monday to Friday 08:00 to 13:00 hours Saturday No undertaking of noisy works on Sundays, Bank Holidays or Public Holidays
In order to maintain the above working hours, the Principal Contractor may require at certain times a period of up to one hour before and after normal working hours to start and close down activities (this will not include works that are likely to exceed agreed maximum construction noise levels). Specialist construction operations and deliveries may also be required to be carried out side these core hours in agreement with Southwark Council. Although night-time, out-of-hours or weekend working would not normally be permitted, it is conceivable that certain specialist construction operations and deliveries may have to be undertaken during these periods. In such cases prior agreement with Southwark Council will be sought. Works will take place outside these hours but will mostly be within noise limits set by Southwark Council. Consultation with Southwark Council will be required prior to noisy activities taking place outside normal hours of operation, with the exception of emergency work which may need to take place as required.
