Consultee Response Where and How Addressed
Existing groundwater abstractions
A list of groundwater abstractions within a radius
of 100 m from roads, tracks and trenches and 250
m from foundations should be provided. The route
or location of engineering operations should avoid
this buffer area or further information and
investigations will be required to show that
impacts on abstractions are acceptable.
Engineering activities in the water
environment
Engineering activities such as culverts, bridges,
watercourse diversions, bank modifications or
dams should be avoided unless there is no
practicable alternative.
Where a watercourse crossing cannot be
avoided, bridging solutions or bottomless or
arched culverts which do not affect the bed and
banks of the watercourse should be used.
If the engineering works proposed are likely to
result in increased flood risk to people or property
then a flood risk assessment should be submitted
in support of the planning application .
A site survey of existing water features and a map
of the location of all proposed engineering
activities in the water environment should be
included in the ES.
A systematic table detailing the justification for the
activity and how any adverse impact will be
mitigated should also be included. The table
should be accompanied by a photograph of each
affected water body along with its dimensions
Improvements to the water environment
encouraged to avoid or offset environmental
impacts.
Chapter 13 (Hydrology,
Hydrogeology and Ground
conditions) contains information
on groundwater abstractions.
The site design minimises
engineering activities in and
near watercourses, as
described in Chapter 13
(Hydrology, Hydrogeology and
Ground conditions)
A watercourse crossing survey
is provided in Appendix 13.3
and methods and plans
proposed in Chapter 13.
A summary table of mitigation
proposed is in Table 13.18, and
the watercourse crossing survey
in Appendix 13.3 provides
photographs of the affected
water bodies.
Enhancement of the riparian
habitat is proposed.
Water abstraction
ES should detail whether public or private source,
and contain requested information on source,
location, volume etc. Cumulative impact should
also be considered.
Pollution prevention and environmental
management
All aspects of site work that might impact upon
the environment and potential pollution risks
associated with the proposals should be
identified, along with the principles of preventative
measures and mitigation. A draft Schedule of
Mitigation should be produced as part of this
process. Information provided on SEPA website.
Recommend that the principles of the
Construction Environmental Management
Document are set out in the ES outlining how the
draft Schedule of Mitigation will be implemented.
Reference to best practice guidance.
Chapter 13 (Hydrology,
Hydrogeology and Ground
conditions) contains information
on water abstractions.
Draft Schedule of Mitigation
provided in Chapter 16
(Summary of Effects and
Mitigation).
Draft structure of CEMD
(Health, Safety and
Environmental Management
System) provided in Appendix
