Fig 1: Location Plan (courtesy of google maps) 1.2 The existing building is a Victorian mews house and currently features accommodation at ground and first floors, as well as further rooms in the loft. The building is typical of the period and is of masonry construction with timber framed suspended floors and roof. The rear of the building faces the terrace at Cadogan Square, and similar mews houses abut the property either side. A location plan as well as a wider map have been included in the attached drawing 1101-589-TP1. As it is typical for the mews houses in West London, these face the street directly with little or no public pavement. The mews houses at the west side of Pavilion Road only feature a 1.2m wide pavement which lies within the building plot of the property. The mews houses on the west side feature slightly wider pavement (some 1.8m), which also lies within the plots of the houses, and is locally interrupted by boundary walls. The pavement on the west side has been allocated for residents parking (single white line), and the parking on the east side is restricted with a single yellow line (1.7m away from the front wall). No pedestrian footpath exists at Pavilion Road. This is clearly signposted at either end of the street. The road going surface is some 7.3m wide, and is used for two way traffic as well as by the pedestrians. Pavilion Road runs parallel to Sloane Street in the north-south direction between Pont Street and Sloane Square. The road is not a major through road, and is primarily used by the residents of Pavilion Road. No local bus routes serve this road.

3. Assistance will be provided to ensure safe and efficient passage for large vehicles (e.g. HGVs or Refuse collection). 3.4 The removal and replacement of skips will require the vehicle to be parked in front or behind the temporary hoarding. Similar arrangement will be required for concrete lorries as and when required. Space for vehicle parking should normally be contained within the boundary of the construction site. Should this not be possible, a written consent or permission from house Nos. 114 and 118 Pavilion Road to park concrete/skip removal lorry in front of their property must be sought as this may have access or noise implication. Please see the attached sketch drawing 1101-589-TP3. A banksman will be in attendance for the duration of all loading and offloading operations. It is also his task to ensure that any debris are swept from the road on completion of these activities. The amount of construction traffic and the level of disturbance to the public will vary with each stage of the works. Therefore, we anticipate a frequent concrete deliveries and a number of skip removals during the excavation works (stages 4&5), with a number of specialist deliveries vehicles as the works progress towards the finishing stages. However, as a general guidance, we provide the following numbers:

All site visitors and consultants in charge of the Project Management, H&S, Building Control, etc. are not allowed to wait on the street for such reasons and should use local garages and pay&display car parks; vehicles are only allowed to stop at the site to load/unload of goods/materials or actively engaged on construction activity. N.B. Large vehicles (vehicle type 3) can only attend site between 10am and 4pm to avoid residential disruption.
3.6
All deliveries and collection of site rubbish (and in particular skips and concrete lorries) will be planned to take place outside both the morning and afternoon peak hours, and will be limited between 10:00 and 16:00hrs. These will normally be carried out on daily basis, but should not take longer than 20-30 minutes. A call up procedure shall be put into place to ensure that vehicle travel times are staggered to prevent further congestion, and unnecessary parking and waiting at Pavilion Road. The deliveries will be co-ordinated to prevent multiple traffic movements during the same period and reduce congestion during the busy hours. Part of the premises within the house currently not being worked is to be allocated for the use of the contractor to provide site office facilities, welfare facilities incl. W.C. Changing rooms, showers, as well as for the temporary storage of materials on-site and overnight storage of construction plant.

designated safeguarded zones of special archaeological potential as indicated on the RBKC plans. 5.7 Energy Use and CO2 Emissions - Great care must be taken in reducing the impact of buildings on the environment. It is considered that 25% of CO2 emissions come from the construction industry including the emissions associated with manufacturing materials, transport, construction and demolition of structures. Generally the excavation of basements requires moving large quantities of material, and installation of concrete. These should be offset by providing above standard insulation, and low energy lighting to the building to reduce long term impact. To reduce the use of artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation, two front light-wells are proposed to the basement. The contractor should also consider using recycled materials (namely concrete) in the construction of this basement. Permanent Impact - No permanent negative impact is to be expected of this development. The proposed basement will provide additional floor area within the footprint of the existing building in line with current development policies. The proposed development does not involve any changes to the exterior of the building, and as such would not have any negative impact on the street-scene.

of the excavation to prevent people falling in, and ladders provided for access. Materials, spoil and plant must be stored away from the edge of the excavation to reduce the chance of a collapse. 6.6 A detailed method statement and sequence of works must be adhered to in connection with the proposed underpinning works. All specified temporary horizontal and vertical propping must be provided as per the design. In addition, adequate emergency procedures need to be developed and put in place. There is a risk associated with working in the vicinity of underground services to include damage to existing services, electrocution, gas, explosion/fire, release of sewer gases and contamination of water supplies. A utilities search of the area must be performed, and all public utilities appear to run under the pavement and under the street. However, private services must be identified and adequately marked, isolated and secured during the construction. Standard procedures should be utilized for safe loading and unloading of goods and staff must be adequately trained for safe manual handling of materials and goods. In addition, staff should be trained to safely use and maintain tools, hoists and other machinery. Dangerous parts must guarded, eg gears, chain drives, projecting engine shafts. The proposed conveyor must be adequately protected at all times. Adequate over-night storage must be provided to prevent theft and damage. Loading and unloading goods and traffic management There is a risk to both the workers and general public/pedestrians associated with loading and unloading goods. An exclusion zone must be set-up and a method of loading/unloading must be prepared. Adequate safety footwear and gloves must be utilized. Traffic management measures have been addressed in the previous chapters. Emissions and Hazardous substances The site must be kept well ventilated to prevent the build-up of hazardous gasses. Provide a high capacity ventilation system with backup. Only electrical plant should be utilised on-site, and no internal combustion engines should be used if at all possible. Finally, the soil should be inspected for the presence of radon, with measures taken to mitigate the risk if radon has been detected. Other hazardous substances such as asbestos, lead, solvents, paints, cement and silica dust must be identified at an early stage, and these should be adequately cared for and used in a safe manner. Fire To prevent burns or smoke inhalation injuries, adequate procedures must be put into place. Reduce the quantity of flammable materials, liquids and gases kept on site to a minimum, and store these properly. Flammable gas cylinders must be properly maintained, and always be returned to a ventilated store at the end of the shift and valves checked. Smoking and other ignition sources should be banned in areas where gases or flammable liquids are stored or used. Suitable fire extinguishers and fire blankets must be easily accessible and properly maintained. Noise some aspects of noise have already been dealt in the previous chapter. In addition to protecting the neighbours from excessive noise, further measures

are required to protect the workers on site. All sources of noise should be identified and assessed. Workers using such plant should be trained and provided with ear protection. Investigate measures of reducing the amount of noise produced by existing plant, or consider replacing noisy plant. 6.14 A health and safety plan must describe the appropriate procedures for emergencies and for reporting accidents. All staff must be trained to know their role in the event of emergency. First aid provisions should be good enough. Suitable persons should be employed to work on site and must possess adequate training and experience for the job, and all staff and subcontractors should receive adequate health and safety training and be provided with the required safety equipment. The information in this chapter is based on the "The absolutely essential health and safety toolkit for the smaller construction contractor"" published by HSE

Traffic control
The need for traffic control Adequate width is required for two-way working. An unobstructed width of the road past the works must meet the minimum shown in the following table, dependent on the type of traffic. Where possible, widths above the minimum should be provided in order to give space to cyclists. Where these widths cannot be met, shuttle working with traffic control must be introduced, and the unobstructed width reduced to a maximum of 3.7 metres. Where an unobstructed width of at least 6.75 metres for two-way traffic cannot be provided there may be problems for HGVs and buses. In these circumstances, where a bus route exists, you must consult your supervisor who will advise the public transport co-ordinator. Normal traffic including buses and HGV Cars and light vehicles only Two-way working 6.75 metres minimum 5.5 metres minimum 3.7 metres maximum 2.75 metres desirable minimum 2.5 metres absolute minimum
Shuttle working with traffic control 3.7 metres maximum 3.25 metres desirable minimum 3.0 metres absolute minimum
[Where the absolute minimum cannot be met, your supervisor must consult the highway authority.] Setting up traffic control When setting up traffic control, the cone taper should be at 45 to the road edge. Long sections of narrow lanes can cause difficulties for cyclists and horse riders, and this should be taken into consideration where appropriate. Choice of traffic control method Select the method to be used from the table.
