Eco Impact ChecklistTitle of report: New Build Housing provision for the City at Alderman MooresReport author: Martyn Pursey, Development & Special Projects ManagerAnticipated date of key decision : 7 March 2017

Summary of proposals: To seek cabinet approval to procure a Design & Build contractor to work with the HRA Development team to design and construct a new mixed tenure development of around 140 new homes at Alderman Moores site in Ashton Vale. 40% of the new homes will be council homes and the remainder will be private homes for sale with the proceeds helping to fund the new council homes.

Consulted with: Amy Farthing and Steve RansomSummary of impacts and Mitigation - to go into the main Cabinet/ Council ReportThe significant impacts of this proposal are…Risk of flooding, impacts on wildlife and ecology, resource use associated with the construction and operation of the development and associated emissions of climate changing gases, generation of waste during construction.

The proposals include the following measures to mitigate the impacts… Where possible, works will be scheduled to co-inside with any other external works

required, so as to minimise disruption and nuisance. Insulation standards to building regulations will be achieved. The chosen contractor(s) will demonstrate compliance with the waste hierarchy by:

Preparing and adhering to Site Waste Management Plans. Reducing waste e.g. through effective material storage Reusing waste e.g. reuse of off-cuts. Recycling as much waste as possible and using readily recyclable products. Avoiding landfill wherever possible. Achievement of considerate constructors scheme ‘very good’ rating. Compliance with planning policies BCS13-BCS16

Contractors will complete an Environmental Method Statement during tendering describing how they will mitigate the environmental impacts. This will form part of their contractual obligations.

The net effects of the proposals will be negative, but the standard of new homes will be of good fabric efficiency and comply with planning policies to reduce CO2 production through renewable energy, and mitigate the risk of flooding.
