General Conditions

All RAMS produced and works undertaken on site will reflect the and reference the current Guidance

for Pollution Prevention (GPPs) and Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PGGs).

The government and the regulatory bodies at present are conducting a review plan for the PPGs and

replacing them with a replacement guidance series, Guidance for Pollution Prevention (GPPs). GPPs

provide environmental good practice guidance for the whole UK. For businesses in England, regulatory

guidance is available from GOV.UK instead.

For the basis of the CEMP we will adhere to the guidance set out in Guidance for Pollution Prevention

– “GPP5: Works and maintenance in or near water”. We will also adhere to the Pollution Prevention

Guideline “PPG 6:Working at construction and demolition sites” even though it was withdrawn on

14/12/2015 and hat yet to be replaced

Construction methods

https://www.netregs.org.uk/media/1672/ppg-6.pdf



We aim to follow the following rule for potential waste and waste generated on site by Reducing the

waste, Reusing the waste where applicable and finally Recycling the waste that is left.

A specific Site Waste Management Plan will be utilised and will follow the guidance as set out in

Section 8 of GPP 5.

We will carry out a waste minimisation audit to identify where we can reduce the volume of waste you produce. We will reuse materials or use products that can be reused many times. Substitute materials will be utilised for less hazardous ones – e.g. water-based paints are the only specified paint allowed on the Premier Inn constructions. Segregate different wastes for recycling, hazardous waste and general waste and label them. Do not mix or dilute hazardous wastes. The waste from the plasterboarding (which is the most generated) will be separated on site into

individual skips that will be returned to Knauf for recycling.



Light weight waste ie plastic, cardboard, insulation, paper etc will be stored in enclosed skips to ensure

that the waste is not wind blown over the site or especially the local area.

Cover or enclose skips unless they are stored undercover or within a building. Waste will be stored in suitable containers of sufficient capacity to avoid loss, overflow or spillage. A waste storage will be designated and will be isolated completely from surface water drains. Waste will be removed from site frequently we will not allow large quantities to accumulate. The rest of the waste will be separated into the following skips, Timber, Masonry & Concrete, Paper

& Cardboard (enclosed) and then a general skip.

As the main element of the building is a prefabricated timber frame structure there will be little if not

no waste generated by the construction of the structure. The external façade cladding with the

exception of 2 gables, is also of a prefabricated lightweight cladding of render and timber, therefore

again there will be little or no waste.

Our waste removal/skip company will then remove the skips and recycle the waste. We aim to recycle

90% of our generated waste.

Triton Construction are members of SMARTWaste who a subsidiary attachment to the BRE. The BRE

is an independent, research-based consultancy, testing and training organisation, operating in the

built environment and associated industries. BRE SMARTWaste is a flexible, online-reporting platform

for all company types across all sectors that can help manage and reduce waste outputs, impacts and

costs.

We will be utilising SMARTWaste on site to aid in the reduction of site generated waste.

The site management will as a duty of care ensure that regular litter picks are carried out both inside

and outside the site boundary. During windy weather these litter picks will be increased. Constant

weather forecast check will take place to track the local conditions. Plans will be put in place prior to

weather hitting and any lightweight building materials will be tied/weighted down to ensure that they

do not become affected by the windy conditions.

In the event of any issues the site manager can be contacted 24hrs. Tim Booth 07496990424 or any of the numbers in the “Emergency Contact Details and Complaints Procedures” section of the CEMP.

General Site Management

The construction programme has been drafted for a potential start on site of 13 January however this

is subject to the final client/end-user contract terms been agreed and the confirmation that all Pre-

Commencement items have been finalised and accepted.

Therefore, for the section we will work in week numbers rather than exact dates.

The construction programme is 48 week long from start to completion.



The first 4 weeks of the programme will be the demolition and removal of the existing office block.

The demolition contractor is working toward demolition utilising the conditions set out with in the

Eco-Scope Protected Species Assessment dated May 2019. They are also be issuing the Section 80

along with the Method Statement to the council for approval.

The demolition contractor will produce RAMs. The RAMs will be assessed for sequence, safety and

environmental impact. The environmental impact will be assessed and prevention put in place in line

with the Pollution Prevention Guideline “PPG 6:Working at construction and demolition sites” and “GPP

5: Works and maintenance near water”. We will ensure that the RAMs cover the steps set out with in the

guidance. The key points that we will assess the RAMs on are as follows: -

Demolition of the building – this will be carried out by mechanical means. The machine will be fitted

with a fine spray to be utilised to “dampen down” the building remove the amount of dust created.

This will be in line with Section 6 of PPG6.

Silty water - The water will be kept to the minimum to control the dust so as not to create excess

contaminated (dust/silty) water. The site naturally slopes to the rear of the tarmacked carpark. All

gullies on site will be removed or blocked up prior to work starting. A silt trap will be utilised at the

low end of the site. This will be assessed on site as to the exact nature of the silt trap, but measures

will be in place for straw bales and double traps to filter to allow the silt to settle on site. The




procedure/details will follow the guidance as set out in Section 1 of PPG5 and Section 2 of GPP5 (2.1

& 2.2)

The demolished materials will be removed as follows: -

Asbestos will be taken back to Whitemoss at Skelmersdale.

Hardcore / concrete would be going to OJ Jones and Sons in Porthmadog (if it is to be removed from

site).

Waste would go to the Violia waste in Penrhyndeudraeth.

We will then remove the existing tarmac carpark from the footprint of the new building. We intend to

leave the remaining tarmac car park in place to give a firm clean base to build from.

The vibro stone columns will then be installed in the ground to receive the foundations.

The stockpile of stone will be stored on the tarmac and will be either covered or dampened down in

line with the guidance set out in Section 4 of PPG6. The foundations are shallow due to the vibro stone

columns and this will reduce the amount of material to be removed from site. The substructure and

substructure drainage will then be installed. We will also install the external drainage under the

scaffold to enable the main drainage to be installed whilst the external façade is progressing.

All foundations and excavations on site will be carried out following the guidelines and requirements set out in Specification for Archaeological Works at Ty Moelwyn, Porthmadog (Revised) Reference NGR SH 57227 38433.

Following on from this we will then erect the GF steel frame followed by the 3-storey prefabricated

timber frame structure. The roofing will then be installed to allow the internal to progress. Following

the roof installation, the external façade cladding will be installed.

The drainage to the site will be progressed once the prefabricated timber frame contractor has left

site. As construction of the building is of a prefabricated and lightweight nature there is little water or

wastewater utilised in the construction of the building. For surface rainwater we intend to leave the

existing car park tarmac and drainage in place until we start our new drainage installation which will

be starting at week 27.

From the Site Investigation Report issued by Shepherd Gilmour Consulting Engineers dated 24.01.18

states that there are no contaminants on site. The construction methodology and materials do not

create any contaminants. We will have a bunded fuel storage area along with spill kits on site. The

location of which is shown on the attached Site Plan along with the buffer zones form fuel to materials.

Biodiversity Management

The site is bounded on 4 sided by existing footpaths, cycle path or walls. The only planting on the site

is the 3 shrubs to the front elevation and the 2 conifers to the rear carpark. These are to be removed

as part of the approved scheme. All existing planting is over 3m from the site boundary therefore there

is no planting to protect.



Existing plan New Plan

Cycle path at boundary Shrubs to be removed

From the Eco-Scope Protected Species Assessment dated May 2019 there are no protected species on

site and no invasive plants were found on site.

Soil Management

There is little existing topsoil on site that can be reused with the exception of the areas that are not

been developed. For the ne landscaping it is our intention to import new topsoil to the specification

issued by the landscaping consultant. Testing of the soil and certification of the soil will be to the

satisfaction of the landscape consultant.

CEMP Masterplan

The master plan for the development is that the one and only building on the site will be started and

completed in 1 phase. This phase will take 48 weeks from start to finish. The landscaping will be

installed to the landscape consultants drawings and specification which is to be approved by the

council under condition 5 & 6.

Control of Nuisances



We are aware of the sensitivity of this particular construction project with regard to the local

inhabitants. With this in mind we have drafted this Construction Environmental Management Plan to

enable the site management to properly plan the works and mitigate its impact on the noise sensitive

receptors (ie local residents and towns guests).

Smoke

Triton Construction site rules and Whitbread site rules state that fires are not allowed on site.

Therefore, there will be no smoke generated on site at any time.

Dust

As the construction of the Premier Inn is a timber frame construction which is then predominantly

clad in a lightweight product the dust from the construction will be virtually none existent.

The main area of potential dust production could be the early part of the project when the ground

works are under progress. However, we are intending to keep the existing car park tarmac in place to

allow the construction vehicles to traffic a firm clean base. Once we start the removal of the existing

tarmac and construction of the new carpark dust could be created dependent on the weather

conditions.

To mitigate the potential dust production especially in the groundworks but also throughout the

remaining period of the project Triton Construction will have a temporary water supply on site. This

will ensure that we always have an adequate amount of water and allow the operatives to “dampen

down” the ground or working area in the event of dry dusty weather or dusty activities by utilising a

hose.

Below an extract of our Health & Safety Policy HSP32 Procedure for Dust which will be implemented

on site

The following specific legislation contains requirements to be complied with:

• The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 rev 2013

• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

• CoSHH Essentials CN Series of Guidance notes 0-11

• HSE CoSHH Guidance 2013

• Stone Dust and you Indg 315(rev)

• C100 Highways Agency ‘Time to Clear The Air’ Guide

Information and advice on the requirements of the Regulations, Guidance Note and Code of Practice is

available from the H&S Advisor.

Safe Systems of Work (SSoW)

The hierarchy of risk control in selecting materials with lower silica content is the initial control along

with the use of cutting equipment that creates no dust particles. Exposure to dust is to be controlled

with either dust extraction, dust suppression (water jetting) and suitable PPE, which includes suitable



respiratory protection and clothing (nuisance grade masks are NOT suitable for protection, only masks

of a protection of ten should be used).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the last hierarchy of SSoW as PPE does not remove the risk of

dust contamination for any members of the public.

Exposure to dust does not just include those operatives cutting silica materials but also operatives who

are cleaning and sweeping wood dust, spoil heaps, etc. All Method Statements/Risk Assessments

(including SSOW for Triton on-site labour) provided by the sub-contractors are to include control

measures to reduce/remove the dust production. If required by the RAMs screening will be required

especially when working near to or on the public highway these will be in addition to the dust

suppression.

Noise & Vibration

The site working hours will be 08:00-18:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00-13:00 Saturday. As works will

not be progressing beyond normal working hours and not through the night then there will be light

pollution.

To ensure that we do not overtly impact on the Sensitive Noise Receptors (local residents and town

guests) we are proposing to have a “Day time noise emission assessment” carried out. From this we

will be able to calculate the mean ambient noise so we can plan and work to so that it does not exceed

this level.

To ensure that this will be achieved and in keeping to the parameters set out in “BS5228-

1:2009+A1:2014 Code of practice for noise and vibration control of construction and open sites” we

will have a sound level meter on site at all times.

Training will be given to the Managers to ensure that they can operate, read and understand the

findings and the relevant actions to take.

The noise/vibration generated form the construction of the Premier Inn will be limited to groundworks

machinery (20t, 14t & 5t excavators, 5t & 3t dumpers), vibro piling rigs, 50t & 75t cranes, delivery

wagons, concrete wagons and associated handheld cutting and breaking out tools.

“BS5228-1:2009+A1:2014 Code of practice for noise and vibration control of construction and open

sites” Annex C4 gives tables of the potential sound generated by the site machinery. On planning the

works, we will utilise this document to ensure that we choose the least disruptive machinery in terms

of vibration and noise. We will then monitor the sound generated and if it is exceeding the set

parameters, we will take additional action in the form of screening or sound suppression.

When working near the site boundary we will ensure that any noisy activity is subject to noise

suppression vehicle, tools and also the installation of sound suppression barriers.

Below an extract of our Health & Safety Policy HSP29 Procedure for Noise & Vibration which will be

implemented on site and to any boundary condition. This will also be utilised to ensure that we control

the noise and vibration leaving site.



The Site Team will ensure that information on the noise level and potential vibration of any plant

and/or activity which is intended to be used is obtained and taken into account before

commencement of works.

The Site Team will ensure that any static plant to be installed on site or in the workshop is planned to

be in a position which takes account of the effects of noise on the workers or public.

Where personnel will be required to work in situations where high levels of noise or vibration are

likely to be encountered, the Site Team will ensure that full details of anticipated noise levels and

frequencies are obtained before work commences.

Measures to reduce noise levels, below those levels considered to be unsafe, must be planned and

the appropriate control measures implemented.

Monitoring of noise levels and frequencies must be undertaken as required by the current regulation.

The Site Manager is to ensure that the following safe systems are incorporated as required/

necessary and applied by contractors:

• Noise assessments to identify exposure to the workforce & public

• Select quieter processes

• Re-design activities to eliminate or reduce the noise or vibration processes

• Reduce the number of people exposed including the public

• Limit the time spent in noisy areas

• Provide information, instruction and training

• Ensure that health surveillance is provided to medium and high-risk operatives

• Monitor and review

• It will be deemed part of the contractor’s safe system of work that the information specified above is provided at the commencement of the contract and monitored as the contract progresses and completes.

• The Noise Regulations require specific action at certain noise levels. These relate to:

• The levels of exposure averaged over a working day or week, and;

• Maximum noise exposure (peak sound pressure) in a working day.

The action levels are as follows;

Lower exposure action

value

Daily or weekly exposure of

80dB (A) Peak sound

pressure of 135dB (C)

Hearing protection must be

made available on request.

Managers should seek to

reduce the noise at source

and/or reduce the duration of

exposure.

Upper exposure action

value

Daily or weekly exposure of

85dB (A) Peak sound

pressure of 137dB (C)

Hearing protection must be

worn when this value is

exceeded. Managers should

seek to reduce the noise at

source and/or reduce the

duration of exposure.

Exposure limit Exposure limit daily or

weekly exposure of 87dB

These levels must not be

exceeded taking into account



(A) Peak sound pressure of

140dB (C)

attenuation achieved by

provision of hearing protection.

Vibro Piling

The main noise and vibration production on this particular project will be through the vibro piling

activity, although the noise is no greater than that of a 20t excavator.

BS5228-1:2009+A1:2014 Code of practice for noise and vibration control of construction and open

sites section states: -

8.5.2.5 Methods of monitoring and control on piling sites

Whatever method is appropriate for the specifying of a noise target, there should be agreement

between the piling contractor concerned and the controlling authority. It is essential that a noise

target is appropriate to the type of noise and is practical and enforceable. It should adequately protect

the community but allow work to proceed without placing undue restriction on the activities.

For the avoidance of doubt, it should be noted that actual levels experienced on site will varying in

accordance with a number of factors, some of these being: -

• Ground conditions.

• Driving resistance.

• Construction material / piling platform design.

• Surrounding buildings including their proximity to source and distance measured form source. (Vibro Piling rig).

The vibro piling works will be intermittent and for a period of 2 days. As noted above we will take all necessary precautions to ensure that we keep the disruption to a minimum and within the parameters set out within BS 5228. Resource Management All fuel storage on site will follow the guidelines set out in Section 5 of PPG 6 and Section 4 of GPP 5. The fuel utilised on site will only be for the filling of the excavators and forklift truck. This will be stored in a double bunded fuel bowser. This will be filled periodically be delivery tanker. Adjacent to the bowers will be a spill kit in case of any adverse actions when filling or filling from the bowser. With respect to chemical there are no mass chemicals to be stored or used on site. However, for the small amount of chemicals that are used these will be stored in the COSHH store that will be sited adjacent to the fuel store and spill kit.



Double Bunded Fuel Bowser Fuel Spill Kit COSHH Store The location of the fuel store, COSHH store and spill kit can be seen below and in the Appendix 2 attached.

Waste generated from the construction will be separated on site into the relevant waste streams.

The waste from the plasterboarding (which is the most generated) will be separated on site into

individual skips that will be returned to Knauf for recycling.

The rest of the waste will be separated into the following skips, Timber, Masonry & Concrete, Paper

& Cardboard and then a general skip.

As the main element of the building is a prefabricated timber frame structure there will be little if not

no waste generated by the construction of the structure. The external façade cladding with the

exception of 2 gables, is also of a prefabricated lightweight cladding of render and timber, therefore

again there will be little or no waste.

Our waste removal/skip company will then remove the skips and recycle the waste. We aim to recycle

90% of our generated waste.

Triton Construction are members of SMARTWaste who a subsidiary attachment to the BRE. The BRE

is an independent, research-based consultancy, testing and training organisation, operating in the



built environment and associated industries. BRE SMARTWaste is a flexible, online-reporting platform

for all company types across all sectors that can help manage and reduce waste outputs, impacts and

costs.

We will be utilising SMARTWaste on site to aid in the reduction of site generated waste.

Water consumption on the Premier Inn construction is minimal. The building is timber frame with lightweight cladding. The gable masonry will be constructed using ready mix mortar. The internal of the building will be drylined and no water is used in this process. Regarding wastewater there will be little as water is not greatly used in the construction of the Premier Inn. Traffic Management The site works plan will be in line with the existing road management system. The graphical Traffic management Plan can be fully seen as the attachment Appendix 2 Traffic Management Plan.

The following rules will be established and adhered to;

• Pedestrians have right of way over vehicular traffic.

• No vehicle must exceed 5 mph speed limit.

• On routes where vehicles and pedestrians share the same route, vehicles will be kept as far away as possible from pedestrians by escorts.

• Hazard warning signs will be displayed.

• Pedestrians must adhere to pedestrian designated walkways.

• Vehicles on routes where there are pedestrians present must provide an audible warning to identify that a vehicle is approaching.



• Vehicles and pedestrians will adhere to signs and instructions.

• All operatives must wear high visibility waistcoats or jackets.

Operatives working on site Travel to and parking of vehicles at the project by operatives is potentially the largest source of disruption to the local area affecting local residents, businesses and other road users which could be detrimental to locally established relationships. To address the impact caused by operative’s vehicles, Triton Construction would initially encourage the use of local public transport facilities, such as the regular bus services and train services as these are readily available. Initiatives would be established to provide incentives for operatives to travel to the project by public transport including green cards and vouchers of their choice.

We recognise that travel to site by public transport will not be feasible for all operatives and acknowledge that there is provision for parking within the footprint of the site compound. This will be communicated to all contractors prior to their appointment and reinforced prior to commencement and to each operative during the site induction process. To mitigate the impact of private travel to site, single occupancy journeys will be discouraged with initiatives for car sharing and also green methods, such as cycling, offered to operatives. Cycle storage will be available on site. Compliance with the traffic management plan and Triton Construction’s conditions will be regularly monitored and strictly enforced. Operatives will be required to provide details in the signing in register of their vehicle and its location to enable spot checks and monitor the implementation of the plan. Compliance will be ensured by Triton Construction’s disciplinary procedures which will dismiss operatives from the project who disregard the plan, following an initial warning. Pedestrians will access the site directly from the access road off Tros-y-Bont / Britannia Terrace, using the designated pedestrian routes. These will be clearly signed, with separate gated access and fenced off from vehicular routes. Materials and work equipment shall be stored in the compound at all times. Plant and materials

for the works ordered and delivered in a just in time basis. They will then be stored as noted and

the distributed around or into the building for use.

Operatives shall access the construction areas from the site accommodation, via designated pedestrian routes. During induction, all visitors and operatives will be made aware of the risks created by site traffic. The site will be trafficked by large vehicles, (cranes, wagons, forklift) therefore it is imperative that the traffic plan is clear and understood by all, and more importantly, is adhered to. Where possible, materials and work equipment shall be distributed by the operatives with the aid of hand carts. As part of the process, we will highlight to contractors that the car parking is only available at the areas detailed within the plan.



The parking restrictions have been advised to the supply chain through the tender process and will be re-affirmed at order stage. The following map indicating car parking facilities.

Processes for deliveries to the site Delivery and collection vehicles associated with the project have the potential to cause disruption

to the local area, affecting the establishment, existing businesses and other road users (especially

from the train station) which could be detrimental to locally established relationships. Plant and

materials for the works ordered and delivered in a just in time basis. They will then be stored as

noted and the distributed around or into the building for use.

Although vehicular movements associated with deliveries and collections are unavoidable, we shall put in place and communicate from the outset procedures to minimise the impact caused. On arrival at the site compound, the vehicle will be report to the signing in booth at the site entrance. To prevent unpredictable movements, drivers will be required to turn off their vehicle engine until the movement of the vehicle is authorised and the driver is instructed to move the vehicle. The movement of the vehicle will be co-ordinated by a qualified banksman. All drivers visiting the site shall be given a copy of the site instructions before they drive on site. These instructions must be followed at all times by all visiting drivers. Details of large deliveries and collections will be coordinated. Timings of deliveries will be tailored to suit operational requirements and a time slot will be assigned to the supplier. The processes shall be monitored and rigidly enforced by Triton Construction through the use of our disciplinary procedures. Non-compliance will result in the delivery not being accepted or the removal from site. Vehicles will be restricted to follow a prescribed route to keep vehicles away from sensitive and congested routes.

All drivers entering the site must follow the instructions given below at all times.

1. Engines must be turned off when the vehicle stationary. 2. Do not restart the engine until the vehicle banksman/escort has instructed you that the area

is clear and that it is safe to do so. 3. You must follow the designated route as indicated by the vehicle banksman/escort. 4. Pedestrians must always be given right of way. 5. Vehicles must never exceed the 5-mph speed limit (walking speed). 6. On routes where vehicles and pedestrians share the same route, vehicles must keep as far

away as possible from the pedestrian designated lane. 7. Vehicles must never park on pedestrian lanes. 8. You must give an audible warning on approaching a bend or blind turn. 9. You must give an audible warning when approaching an area where people are working. 10. You must give an audible warning prior to reversing your vehicle. 11. Vehicles must reverse park so that the vehicle is facing into the compound and ready to

leave the establishment. 12. When reversing you must stop the vehicle immediately if you lose sight of the banksman. Residual impact on external traffic flow



By robustly implementing the Traffic Management plan we will have taken reasonable and practicable measures to ensure that disruption to the community, local residents and businesses, and other road users is minimal. Through liaison and engagement with the neighbours we shall monitor the effectiveness of the plan and make necessary changes to address possible issues. Vehicle Loading and Wheel Washing We intend to keep the existing tarmac in place throughout the groundwork’s construction. This is time

when the most muck and debris as the potential to cause a nuisance. The lorries to be loaded and

unloaded on the existing tarmac car park. The vehicle will therefore be on firm clean tarmac and the

wheels will be clean when leaving site. Vehicles that are bringing stone into site will tip the material

on the working area and will have all their wheels on the existing tarmac. Again, this will negate the

need for cleaning of the wheels. In the advent that the construction technique on any certain day does

not allow this there will also be a pressure washer on site during these works to clean off any wheels.

The site naturally slopes to the rear of the tarmacked carpark. All gullies on site will be removed or

blocked up prior to work starting. A silt trap will be utilised at the low end of the site. This will be

assessed on site as to the exact nature of the silt trap, but measures will be in place for straw bales

and double traps to filter to allow the silt to settle on site. We will also install a silt fence to the lower

perimeter to stop any run-off leaving the site. The procedure/details will follow the guidance as set

out in Section 1 of PPG5 and Section 2 of GPP5 (2.1 & 2.2)

To reduce the pollution risk, we will follow all the relevant measures, including: • Ensuring that plant and wheel washing is carried out in a designated area of hard standing at least 10 metres from any watercourse (which is the confines of the site).

• run-off is collected in an impermeable sump silt trap – This water once settled will be recycled for damping down and wheel cleaning.

• settled solids will be removed regularly and appropriately disposed of utilising a registered waste carrier.

• If required we will seek permission from the local water and sewerage provider, to see if we can remove the water directly into the sewer. We will follow the guidelines set out in Section 2.2e of GPP 5

• discharge of treated water to the environment with formal approval from the environmental regulator – see section 2.2

• contaminated water tankered off site for authorised disposal – see section 2.2f

There will also be a standing order with Hefin Thomas 01407 720930 for sweeper hire this can be

called in by the site manager as and when required.

Establishing Relationships with the Neighbourhood The importance of engaging with the local community cannot be underestimated. Delivery and operatives’ vehicles will be asked to avoid residential areas. There will be increased traffic levels and early engagement will be required. We will issue introductory letters and regular newsletters to local neighbours advising them of any aspects of the project which may affect them. Triton Construction will register the project with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.



Pollution Prevention

All works undertaken on site will reflect the and reference the current Guidance for Pollution

Prevention (GPPs) and Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PGGs).

The government and the regulatory bodies at present are conducting a review plan for the PPGs and

replacing them with a replacement guidance series, Guidance for Pollution Prevention (GPPs). GPPs

provide environmental good practice guidance for the whole UK. For businesses in England, regulatory

guidance is available from GOV.UK instead.

For the basis of the CEMP we will adhere to the guidance set out in Guidance for Pollution Prevention

– “GPP5: Works and maintenance in or near water”. We will also adhere to the Pollution Prevention

Guideline “PPG 6:Working at construction and demolition sites” even though it was withdrawn on

14/12/2015 and as yet to be replaced.

Silty water - The site naturally slopes to the rear of the tarmacked carpark. All gullies on site will be

removed or blocked up prior to work starting. A silt trap will be utilised at the low end of the site. This

will be assessed on site as to the exact nature of the silt trap, but measures will be in place for straw

bales and double traps to filter to allow the silt to settle on site. We will also install a silt fence to the

lower perimeter to stop any run-off leaving the site. The procedure/details will follow the guidance as

set out in Section 1 of PPG5 and Section 2 of GPP5 (2.1 & 2.2)

Dewatering – all the foundations and drainage are shallow. If de watering is required we will follow

the guidelines set out in Section 2 (2.1b and 2.1d) of GPP 6 by installing either settlement tanks

followed by licenced removal from site of by filtration system to soakaways or licenced removal from

Triton Construction Ltd (TCL) register all our site with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS). As a member of this scheme we have specific procedures and guideline to follow and adhere to.

Prior to works starting on site we will carry out a “letter drop” to all the adjacent local residents and local hoteliers. This will give information of the works and the planned periods for each activity. IT will also give the contact details of the Site Manager and the Contracts Manager and the procedure that will need to be followed in the event of any complaints.

Monthly “Newsletters” will be issued to ensure that the local residents and hoteliers are kept informed of the works as they progress.

Below is the CCS and TCL integrated complaints procedures.

All sites will display posters, vehicle stickers or banners (where appropriate), giving the contact details of both the registered site, company, Site Managers contact details and the CCS reference. If required TCL will request advice from CCS on how best to remedy the complaint.

All complaints received by the Site Manager regarding any source will be registered and recorded in accordance with the criteria below. A copy will be forwarded to the Contracts Manger who will check




up on the resolution progress of the complaint. A copy will be sent to the CCS for their information and continued information until the complaint has been resolved.

When a complaint is received directly by CCS they will inform the site manager or company contact and will be told what the complaint is about and given the name and contact details of the complainant (with the complainant’s permission). Advice might also be offered as to how they might deal with the complaint.

All complaints are put into one of the following categories:

Noise, Dirt and Dust; Parking; Safety; Inconsiderate Behaviour; Road Conditions and Vehicle Movements; Environmental Concerns; Pedestrian Access Obstruction; Property Damage; Site Lighting; Working Hours; and Other.

The Site Manager will stay in contact with the complainant until the complaint has been investigated and responded to. Once the complaint has been satisfactorily resolved the complaint will be taken off the ‘active’ list.

If the Site Manger cannot resolve the complaint at a site level then it will be escalated to the Contract Manager who will continue the process until a satisfactory resolution has been achieved.

If the complaint was issued directly to the CCS then they will stay in contact with the complainant until the site or company has investigated and responded to the complaint and until the Scheme is satisfied that the site is adhering to the Code of Considerate Practice, at which point the complaint will be taken off the ‘active’ list.

If the site manager or company contact does not deal with a complaint in a satisfactory manner, the complaint will be passed to the Scheme’s Chief Executive, who will refer the matter to the construction company’s head office contact (as listed on the registration form). In the event that the response is still unsatisfactory, and the contact is not a director, then the complaint will be taken to company director level.

If at this point, there still is no resolution then TCL would look to the CCS to mediate between the parties during this process. If, at any time, the Scheme’s Chief Executive considers that a reasonable agreement has been reached, the complaint will be taken off the active list. Where necessary, an experienced Scheme Monitor may visit the complainant and the site manager or company contact to seek resolution.
