Fire Detection Systems Improvement Programme- update Contract mobilisation going well, ALL systems fully
handed over to contractor. Dec 14 milestone to test all key facilities and base line
configuration met. Improvement progress 60% completion against Oct 15
milestone No significant issues identified, systems have always
remained functional. Many existing systems over engineered for current
uses

AWE A: Intake Sub Station
Planning approval granted on 03/02/2015 with 6 planning conditions
PC3 requires submission
of detailed SuDs to manage surface water run-off to 1:100 year storm plus 30% for climate change

AWE B Flood Alleviation Scheme Planning application
submitted on 12/01 and validated on 16/01
Consultation to date: 4 “no
objections” including Burghfield PC and 1 supporter (Wokefield PC)
22/04/2015 likely

AWE A Circinus Elevations Planning approval
(07/02438) granted on 06/02/08

32
Local Development Order - Purpose
Statutory local planning provision Promoted, consulted upon and owned by Local
Planning Authority To establish more detailed planning guidance and
control over minor works Secretary of State can overrule if considered
appropriate
33
LDO – Examples of Minor Works Example Possible Condition Car Park and Surfacing Not to exceed Travel Plan Cap Re-cladding / Replacement windows
In accordance with Estate Standards
Lighting Columns To agreed max lux levels CCTV < 6m and > 150m from the
boundary Minor Extensions In central planning zones
Minor Demolitions Compliant with Code of Construction Practice
34
LDO – Key Considerations Extended planning control for West
Berkshire Council (WBC) Only relating to specific minor works Prior notification will be part of the process
Streamlined approval process Subject to “conditions”
EIA requirements apply To overall LDO; and Specific minor works
35
LDO – Next Steps
Prior consultation with all interested parties Needs broad agreement to the merits of an
LDO Understand likely impacts (planning policy,
transport, visual, contamination, surface water management / flooding etc) Establish legal framework

AWE sites – Public consultation themes
• Programme scope: – what happens if the GDF isn’t ready by 2040 or within 100
years? – would future classes of submarine RPVs be stored too? A
concern that once the RPVs are stored on a site there will be pressure on the site to store other things
• Transport: – would changes to local roads be necessary? – would the A340 be big enough? – concern about the route and whether roundabouts/bridges could
be negotiated – damage to roads caused by construction traffic will get worse – what happens if there is a transport accident?
AWE LLC, Submarine Dismantling Project Slide 60
• Safety: – how can it be safe to bring more radioactive waste when no
more houses can be built in the area due to AWE (referring to the DPZ)?
– plans for 1000s of houses the other side of the M4 could have an impact
– concerns raised about AWE’s safety record – concerns raised about the flooding risk on the Burghfield site and
concern about contamination of the watercourse • Security:
– concerns around the security risk – a comment that the RPVs should be stored somewhere owned
by the MOD i.e. Aldermaston or Burghfield
AWE sites – Public consultation themes
AWE LLC, Submarine Dismantling Project Slide 61
AWE sites – Public consultation themes
• Benefits/Impact: – would the store bring any additional employment to the
area? – what would be the impact to the local area, including noting
that it is a densely populated area? – why will there be no benefits to the local community? – will there be any impact on the DPZ from the store? There
had been some hope that the DPZ would be relaxed
AWE LLC, Submarine Dismantling Project Slide 62
AWE sites – Summary findings to date
• While some ‘nimby’ opinions were raised, on the whole workshop attendees felt reassured that storage of the RPVs was well within the capabilities of AWE and were supportive of the approach being taken
• Generally there was praise for the openness of the consultation and the information provided
• However, there were some concerns as outlined previously
AWE LLC, Submarine Dismantling Project Slide 63
Site assessment
• Assessment of the shortlisted sites based on a number of criteria: – Operational Effectiveness – Investment Appraisal – Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) – Other Contributory Factors
• Shortlisted sites are preparing their submissions to SDP • Stakeholder positions and the outcomes from Public Consultation
form an important part of the assessment process, feeding into the Other Contributory Factors criteria
AWE LLC, Submarine Dismantling Project Slide 64
Next steps
•Publish Post-Consultation report mid 2015. •Obtain site data and site submissions to progress detailed assessment.
•Prepare Business Case to recommend a site to the MOD Investment Appraisal Board.
•Approval of the recommended site is planned mid 2016. •Continue SSG/ LLC Communications
