1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

AECOM were commissioned by Peel Holdings PLC (Peel) (‘the Client’) to complete a geotechnical and geo-environmental desk study for the Hulton Park Project, Nr Bolton, Greater Manchester. The purpose of the report is to identify any potential geo-environmental and geotechnical constraints that could affect the proposed redevelopment based on information provided by the Client, and third party historic and environmental information.

This report has been prepared to ascertain the scope of the ground investigation that will be required for the proposed Hulton Park Project.

1.2 Proposed Development

The approximately 250 hectare site is located near Bolton, Greater Manchester, as shown on Figure 1. It is proposed to construct a world class golfing facility comprising an 18 hole golf course, club house, golf academy, conference center and a 120 bed hotel development. There is also a provision for a tented village in the southwest of the site which will be utilized during the hosting of prestigious golf competitions.

Access to these facilities will be made by the existing Hulton Park Road which is accessed from the Newbrook Road running along the eastern margin of the site. A secondary access to the site is proposed towards the southeast corner from Woodlands Drive, a residential road that is also accessed from Newbrook Road. An additional access road to the west of the site is proposed to be constructed travelling south from a new exit off the Manchester Road Roundabout to the northwest of the site.

In addition to the golf facilities, large areas of the periphery of the site are zoned for residential properties. Access to these properties is proposed to be made by the same access roads detailed above.

1.3 Methodology

This report has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out in BS10175 (2011) ‘Code of Practice for Potentially Contaminated Sites’, and CLR 11 (2004) ‘Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination’ and other relevant documentation. This report has also been completed in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and associated guidance such as The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) and considers the implications of Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (Part 2A) and the associated Contaminated Land (England) Regulations 2006 and statutory guidance (2012).

The assessment includes the following aims:

• Identification of geotechnical hazards, such as soft / weak ground, old foundations, mine working or shafts.

• Identification of potential contamination sources, such as historical and current operations, both on and adjacent to the site.

• An evaluation of plausible contaminant migration pathways.

• An evaluation of the environmental sensitivity of the site and the potential receptors at risk of exposure to contamination, such as future site users and controlled waters.

• Assessment of the degree of risk associated with each relevant contaminant linkage.

• Recommendations to verify, delineate, and manage any significant geo-environmental risks identified.

• To achieve this, the following tasks were performed:

• A review of the geology, hydrology, hydrogeology, under-mining potential and potential for voids.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 2

• Review of the existing environmental information to assist in the determination of the environmental setting / sensitivity and current / historical land use of the site and surrounding area.

• Preparation of a preliminary conceptual site model and qualitative risk assessment.

• Assessment of any geotechnical considerations which may impact upon the development of the site.

1.4 Information Sources

2. SITE SETTING

As part of the desk study a Groundsure environmental data report was obtained by AECOM (17 Apr 2015), and was reviewed with relation to the proposed development. A summary of the relevant information contained within the Groundsure report is given in the following sections and is reproduced in full in Appendix A. The Groundsure report provides information for an area 250m beyond the site boundary considered appropriate to determine risks from potential offsite features e.g. landfills.

2.1 Location

The proposed development is located south of Bolton, Greater Manchester. The center of the site is located at National Grid Reference 367927, 405177. A site location plan is presented as Figure 1.

2.2 Site Description

The site comprises an area of approximately 250ha. The area is approximately square in shape with irregular edges and an elongate thin section extending from the southeast corner, which takes in Woodlands Drive, one of the proposed access roads.

The site is bounded to the southeast by residential properties and in the central south area by large open fields. The southwest boundary is formed by further residential properties and a rehabilitation centre . The site is bounded to the west by a series of unnamed streams. Beyond the streams, large open fields are present. The northern perimeter of the site is defined by the A6 Manchester Road and occasional residential properties that front onto the A6. The northeast of the site is demarked by a row of large detached and semi-detached residential properties. The eastern boundary is formed by residential properties and towards the centre, by the A579 Newbrook Road.

The majority of the site comprises open, presumed agricultural land and a number of large wooded areas to the south, central and northeast of the site. Smaller wooded areas occupy much of the northern and western margins of the site. The wooded areas include: New Park Wood, Mill Dam Wood, Dog Kennel Wood and Rawsthorne Wood in the south of the site. Stone Holes Wood is shown in the north of the site, Cow Wood in the northeast and Back o’ th’ Lawn Wood and Stone Shed Wood in the center of the site.

There are several farms and farm buildings. The largest of these farms, Home Farm is located towards the center of the site and consists of a large house, several large sheds, outbuildings and some derelict older residential buildings. It is accessed from a gravel track which runs west to east from an entrance off the A579 Newbrook Road. Park End Farm is located on the southeast portion of the site at the end of Woodlands Drive. It consists of a medium sized house, a large shed and various other outbuildings. Deardens Farm is located on the northeast of the site and is accessed from the A6 Manchester Road. This farm consists of a large residential property, three large sheds and several outbuildings. Wood End Farm is shown on the southwest of the site and is accessed from the same track that leads to Home Farm. Wood End Farm consists of a large farmhouse and a medium sized shed.

There are several named and unnamed brooks and streams across the site. The largest of these watercourses is Mill Dam Stream which flows from the northwest to the southeast. In the center and southwest portion of the site along Mill Dam Stream two historic embankments are shown, which are assumed to dam the water course. Carr Brook flows from the southeastern pond in a southerly direction and exits the site. An unnamed stream runs along the western boundary in a north south direction. This stream forms small ponds at three locations before bending to the west and running off site. There are several other much smaller streams and ponds across the whole area. It is possible that many of these ponds are man-made and used for watering livestock.

The site topography slopes gently from north to south from approximately 120m AOD to 80m AOD.

3. GEOLOGY

3.1 Introduction

The geology of the site has been assessed from the British Geological Surveys (BGS) 1:50,000 geological map Sheet 84 (Wigan) drift, and solid editions and map Sheet 85 (Manchester) drift, and solid editions. The nearest BGS boreholes to the site accessed on the BGS Geoscience Data Index, accessed April 2015 have also been used to assess the geology of the site.

3.2 Published Geology

3.2.1 Made Ground

The BGS mapping indicates no made ground within the site boundaries. However, the Thirlmere Aqueduct, (indicated on Sheet 85, drift edition) the farms, old buildings and associated tracks within the site boundary would suggest that made ground will be present associated with the construction of these structures.

Many of the BGS boreholes recorded on the site are colliery shaft borehole records. This would suggest the likely presence of colliery waste and spoil at the surface in the vicinity of these shafts.

3.2.2 Superficial and Bedrock Geology

The superficial deposits and bedrock geology indicated on the published geological mapping for the area are presented in Table 3.1 below.

Table 3.1 Summary of Superficial and Bedrock Geology

APPROX LOCATION ON SITE SUPERFICIAL & BEDROCK GEOLOGY

Covers the entire site except for a small portion of the southwest and small portions of the south east

Glacial Till, Devensian - Diamicton. Superficial Deposits formed up to 2 million years ago in the Quaternary Period.

Present as slivers between the above formation in the south and southeast of the site.

Pennine Middle Coal Measures Formation - Sandstone. Sedimentary Bedrock formed approximately 309 to 312 million years ago in the Carboniferous Period

3.3 Structural Geology

As indicated in Table 3.1 above, that the site is underlying by bedrock of Pennine Middle Coal Measures there are five known faults to cross the site, four of which run northeast-southwest, the downthrow of some of these faults is to the south-east and others to the north-west. The

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 5

sixth fault is labelled as the Padiham Fault which runs north-west to south-east, located on the east edge of the site, with a downthrow to the north-east side of the fault. The beds within this area dip down to the south-east, typically at an angle of 8 degrees.

For additional information on this refer to Section 8 within this report.

3.4 Economic Geology

The Groundsure report identifies 14 unspecified old or disused shafts within the site boundaries. However, on closer inspection the grid references of several of these shafts are coincident or so close as to be within one shaft diameter of each other and it is likely that some of these are the same shafts but have been recorded on different occasions. By comparing the clustering of the grid references with the shafts shown on the historical maps it can be seen that there are two shafts identified. One shaft dates from between 1851 and 1892, and the other dates from between 1892 and 1907. They are identified as old coal shafts. A further 44 shafts are recorded between 6m - 999m from the site.

Also two trial shafts have been recorded they are likely to be the same shaft, this is located approximately. 545m from the site boundary, dated around 1938.

An air shaft has been recorded to the south-east of the site 972m to the south-east of the site, dated around 1907.

Four colliery sites have also been recorded within the site boundaries, these are dated from 1907-1927, with a further 11 between 3m-892m from the site, dated 1982-1927.

Four open cast workings have been recorded between 176m -736m to the east of the site, dated 1956-1966.

The Groundsure reports confirms that there are no non-coal mining areas within 1000m of the boundary.

There are no recorded Tin, Clay, Gypsum, Brine or any natural cavities recorded within 1000m of the site boundary.

4. HYDROLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY

4.1 Hydrology

The Environment Agency website for the area indicates that flooding from surface waters is possible from all rivers known to cross the site and also from all ponded areas, i.e. due to low permeability Glacial Till the site is potentially at risk from flash flooding. The highest risk areas are centered on Mill Dam Stream and its two lakes.

However, as the site is generally sloping south and not extensively covered with surface water features the majority of the site is not noted to be at risk from flooding. Nonetheless, localised flooding may occur in the immediate vicinity of the stream, brook, pond or lake. The area onsite considered at high risk of flooding from rivers or sea without defenses is concentrated around Carr Brook in the southeast of the site.

The Thirlmere Aqueduct is noted on BGS drift edition maps and on the historic mapping. The aqueduct crosses the site from the northwest travelling east along the north of the site for 700m before bending to the south for a further 450m and eventually turning southwest for a final 300m to the western margin of the site. The aqueducts location would cross the proposed residential areas in the north, the golf course and the proposed residential areas in the east of the site. Constructed around 1892 the aqueduct is subterranean with air valves along its length and is still present today although not noted on the mapping since 1956.

Another significant feature is the presence of a dam across the upper Mill Stream River Lake which is located close to the center of the site.

4.2 Hydrogeology

As indicated on the Environmental Agency groundwater map the site is underlain by Bedrock – Secondary Aquifer A. This aquifer type is characterised by permeable layers capable of supporting water supplies at a local rather than strategic scale, and in some cases forming an important source of base flow to rivers. These are generally aquifers formerly classified as minor aquifers.

5. HISTORIC MAPPING

5.1 Summary

Historic Ordnance Survey (OS) maps of the site were obtained as part of the Groundsure report. The information contained in these maps is summarized in the following table and copies of the maps are provided in the Groundsure report in Appendix A.

The following table summarises the main features present on and within 250m of the site, including selected important features located greater than 250m from the site. Where dates are given, these refer to the dates of maps on which the features appear, and do not necessarily refer to the date at which the feature was present on the ground. Maps of scales 1:1250, 1:2500, 1:10000 and 1:10560 were consulted in the analysis of historic land use.

DATE SCALE ONSITE LAND USE OFF SITE LAND USE

1849 1:10,560 The site is bounded to the north by the Wigan to Manchester road, to the northeast by agricultural land, to the east by the Bolton to St Helens Road and to the south and west by agricultural land. The majority of the site comprises Hulton Park which consists of areas of open parkland, enclosed fields and wooded areas with some ponds. Hulton Hall, a large stately home with outbuildings and an ice house is present near to the centre of the site. A stream runs across from the northwest to the southeast of the site. Three lakes are shown along the course of the stream, a small lake to the of Hulton Hall, A larger lake immediately to the west of Hulton Hall and a further lake in the southeast of the site with a boat house at the northwest (upstream) end. The river approaching the lake adjacent to Hulton Hall form the north is marked as having an ‘Old Dam’. The wooded areas are concentrated along the site boundaries and along the course of the stream through Hulton Park. Along the western side of the park, these are Hollin Hey in the northwest, Rawsthorn Plantation and Dog Kennel plantation, and New Park Wood in the southwest of the site. Along the stream the wooded areas are, from northwest to southeast, Mistress Fold Plantation, Old dam, Crow Yard and Mill Bank Plantation. Along the north side of the park the wooded areas are Engine Clump in the northwest and Top of the Hardwick,s in the northeast. Along the east side of the park the wooded areas are cow Wood in the northeast , Firs, and Kearsley Plantation in the southeast. Other wooded areas are Dog Kennel Plantation (second plantation of this name on the site), and Hurst Hole, each of which are located to the

The surrounding area is open and presumed to represent agricultural land. A railway track runs to the west of the site, forming the western boundary in the southwest, an engine house siding runs off this track to the northwest. A coal pit and an engine house are shown just outside the site boundary between the railway and the site in the northwest. There are several buildings along the Manchester Wigan road which bounds the north of the site to the northwest. Hulton Colliery pits are located across the road, north of the colliery buildings noted in the area. There are several other coal pit collieries to the north and another rail track leading to the collieries. The closest of these collieries is 100m to the north of the area. The north of the area is bounded by a road. ‘Chequerbent’ a small village, is located across the railway track to the northwest. School Farm and an infant school are shown across the Manchester Wigan Road north of the site. Runger Wall Farm is across the road to the north east. There is a ‘Delf’ which appears to be a quarried feature, recorded next to the farm to the west. There are two coal pits located 200m-300m north of the area and Whitegate Colliery is located ~700m to the north also. There is a coal pit 50m to the east of the area in the southeast. There is a smiths, the Red Lion Inn and the Hulton Arms Inn at Hulton Lane Ends, located the crossroads between the Manchester – Wigan and the Boltonn St Helens Road 400m east of the northeast corner of the site. Several houses, named Hulton Lane, Pasquil Row and Number Thirty Five are present along the Bolton - St Helens road between 200m and 400m from the site boundary. There is a coal pit 40m to the east of the site across the Bolton - St Helens road from the Entrance to Hulton park and a further coal pit 600m to the south at Hollow Cottage within 100m of the southeast extremity of the site. There are several buildings on the Bolton St Helens road between 200m and 400m from the

It is assumed that a coal pit and a marl pit were located in these areas. a square feature, possibly a shaft, is shown within Coal Pit Plantation. A pond, possibly a flooded marl pit is present within Marl Pit Wood. The main access to Hulton Hall runs from Hulton Hall southeast then east across open parkland and then through firs wood onto the Bolton to St Helens road. There is also access due north to the Manchester Wigan road to a location described as ‘Back gate’ Wood End Farm is shown within the southwest boundary of Hulton Park. Two wells are shown near to Wood End Farm and a spa well is shown within the agricultural land outside the Park at the southern boundary of the site The western part of the site, and a small area adjacent to the southern boundary around Park House and the area around Deardens farm in the northeast comprise agricultural fields outside Hulton Park. Small cottages, Hulton Colliery buildings, and a, brick kiln are present in the northwest of Hulton Park. Keepers Cottage is located along the northern boundary of the site. There is a coal pit and there are two named cottages to the southeast of the area – Park Cottage and Woodland Cottage respectively.

southeast corner of the site. There is an engine fold and old coal pit 400m to the southeast. The area to the south and west of the site is sparsely populated with only a few isolated dwelling and farms.

1891-2 1:10,560 The lake towards the southeast of Hulton Park is now named Mill Dam A pond is shown in the northwest of the site adjacent to ‘Chequerbent Pits (Nos. 1 & 2)’ which are located just outside the site boundary where coal pit and engine house were previously recorded. The railway recorded bounding the west of the area has new sidings, structures and embankments. Embankments could be spoil heaps for the neighbouring pits. There is a small embankment south of the engine house in the north. Hulton Collier no longer marked on map. The lake bordering Halton Hall has a weir at its southern end. Thirlmere Aqueduct runs along the northeast of the area in an east west direction before turning northwest off the area to the northwest. The wooded area of Hollin Hey is now named Markland Plantation. Coal Pits Plantation and Marl Pits Plantation have now been enlarged and form one larger wood named Park Pits

Coal Pit and Engine House in northwest of site between site boundary and railway now replaced by ‘Chequerbent Pits (Nos. 1 & 2)’Collieries to the north of the area have embankments not previously recorded. The pits of Hulton Colliery have been filled in and are now recorded as a small wooded area. Road bounding area to the north now named ‘Manchester Road’. Railway line to west, where it passes area adjacent to the northwest has been extended to include a second line in cutting passing beneath Manchester Road and additional sidings. In addition a street of terraced houses Brancker Street is present between the old and new railway lines south of Manchester road. Chequerbent now has a police station, school, and church. New collieries are shown approximately 200m north and north east of the site with rail connection to the Railway north of Chequerbent. The delf associated with Runger Wall Farm now appears infilled and a raised are is now located at approximately the same location.. A new spur from the railway line

In summary, Hulton Park, a large country estate occupies most of the site. Within the estate a large house, Hulton Hall has been shown since before the commencement of Ordnance Survey mapping in this area (1851).

Most of the remainder of the site has comprised agricultural land from before 1851 to the present day. In addition, coal mining has occurred within Hulton Park from before 1851 until after 1892 in and adjacent to Park Pits Wood which is located in the east of the park.

Coal mining took place on a much larger scale from several collieries located outside the site boundary. between 1851 and 1936 with some of the collieries infrastructure crossing onto the site. Although the colliery buildings were partly or wholly demolished within a few years of closure and railway lines removed, the spoil tips generally remained until between 1974 and 1987. From 1974 the spoil tips were levelled and the land either wooded or returned to agriculture.

Railways were constructed immediately to the west of the site by 1851 and 200m to 500m to the south of the site by 1891. The earlier railway to the west had several branch lines added to serve the collieries in the vicinity. This railway was closed by 1974 and the track bed is now a footpath. The latter railway (1891) to the south of the site crossed beneath the earlier railway. There was no connection between the two railway lines and the latter railway (to the south of the site) did not serve any of the collieries or industry within or adjacent to the site. Atherton Station, formerly Atherton Central Station, is located less than 500m from the south east corner of the site on this line.

The site is bounded to the north by Manchester Road and to the east by New Brook Road. Both of these roads were established turnpike trust roads by 1851 and have not been significantly altered in the immediate vicinity of the site since then. Further from the site, the M61 motorway was constructed between 1967 and 1974. A link road was constructed to meet the Manchester Road (A6) at Chequerbent approximately 250m from the northwest corner of the site, and a roundabout was constructed at the junction of these two roads.

The most significant infrastructure development onsite is the construction of the Thirlmere Aqueduct which was constructed between 1851 and 1894 and crosses the north and east parts of the site.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 16

In 1851 the site was located in a rural area with only isolated farms adjacent to the site, and small settlements at Chequerbent to the northwest and Hulton Lane Ends to the northeast. Atherton was the nearest town but was separated from the site by open country. Since 1851 Chequerbent developed as a settlement, but has recently been absorbed into Westhoughton by the spread of residential properties . There has also been extensive residential development along and adjacent to New Brook Road, and to the south of the site, this latter development bringing the built up area of Atherton to the southern site boundary.

7. GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT

7.1 Anticipated Ground Conditions

The BGS map showed the site to be underlain by superficial deposits of glacial till or glacio-fluvial deposits of sands and gravels. The underlying bedrock is reported to be the Pennine Middle Coal Measures Formation, comprising a cyclic sequence of mudstone, sandstone, siltstone and coal. A section of sandstone referred to as “Cannel Rock” was also recorded to the north-west and south-east of the site. Further, sandstone or “Trencherbone Rock” was recorded across the central / north part of the site.

The BGS borehole records from the numerous boreholes for the proposed Bolton – Wigan Link Road to the west of the site indicate that the superficial deposits comprise predominantly slightly gravelly clay till, with subordinate beds of fluvio-glacial sand and gravel. The more basic shaft records from the east of the site record “marl” to rock head, indicating cohesive strata. The thickness of superficial deposits ranges from 7m to 24m, with a typical thickness of approximately 15m to 20m across most of the site.

The clay is typically recorded as soft or soft to firm to between 1m and 2.5m depth and firm or stiff thereafter. The fluvio-glacial sand and gravel is typically medium dense. Groundwater entries are recorded in the fluvio-glacial soils at depths exceeding 5m, shallow groundwater was not recorded.

Made ground is not likely to be anticipated across the majority of the site, however there could be some located by the old railways sidings to the south of the site, and or within areas that have been in-filled, although this is likely to comprise re-worked natural deposits.

7.2 Geotechnical Considerations

An initial assessment of the ground conditions at the site has been made with regard to the proposed development, together with comments relating to the requirements for any proposed ground investigation:

• Any existing made ground is unlikely to provide a suitable founding stratum for structural foundations. It may require excavation and replacement, or treatment for new hardstanding areas.

• For pavement design, the proposed sub-grade level for the residential, golf course and hotel access roads should be confirmed prior to construction. Any soft ground or unsuitable materials should be excavated out and replaced with engineering fill, before starting any pavement construction works.

• It is likely that conventional low-rise development, such as the proposed residential development, and clubhouse could be undertaken using conventional spread footings, or where the soft near surface material is deeper, more than approximately 1.5m, deeper trench fill foundations could be considered away from areas of shallow coal mining, see Section 8 for further details.

• For heavy structures, such as the proposed hotel and conference centre, an alternative foundation solution is likely to be required. Piles supported by a combination of shaft adhesion and end bearing within the glacial till, or socketed into bedrock are typically the preferred foundation solutions. However, because there is a potential risk that shallow mine workings could underlie the hotel and conference area consideration may need to be given to an alternative foundation solution such as a raft foundation.

• Where the ground is to be re-graded, so as to produce features on the golf course, the material will require classification for re-use. Slope stability analyses may be required for detailed earthworks design if it is proposed to construct steep slopes. The long-term settlement of cohesive strata beneath raised areas may need to be assessed.

• A review of the BGS logs and anticipated geological conditions suggests that superficial material should be capable of being excavated by conventional excavators with toothed buckets.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 20

• Although the existing information on the ground conditions does not indicate the presence of shallow or perched groundwater the possibility of encountering shallow groundwater in the east of the site, away from the existing borehole data should not be discounted. An investigation into the groundwater levels including seasonal variations and an estimation of flow rates is recommended prior to commencement of any detailed earthworks or foundation design.

• It is anticipated that a detailed assessment of the risk associated with former coal mining across the site will be required, see Section 8 for further details.

• The site is not within a brine affected area.

7.3 Ground Investigation

A ground investigation will be required for the following geotechnical purposes:

• To define the thickness of the superficial deposits across the site.

• To confirm the nature of the superficial deposits and determine characteristic parameters for geotechnical design in all areas in which development is proposed including, all built development, infrastructure and creation of landforms associated with the golf course.

• To investigate the coal measure bedrock and determine properties of the rock types encountered for geotechnical design in the vicinity of the hotel and conference centre.

• To determine the depth to groundwater and seasonal variation.

• To determine the characteristics of road subgrade for pavement design.

• To determine the agressivity of the ground to buried concrete.

8. MINING ASSESSMENT

8.1 Introduction

The site is underlain by rocks of the Pennine Middle Coal Measures of Carboniferous age. These are productive coal measures and the site has a long history of coal mining extending back to 1571. Whilst the deep mining beneath the site has been recorded, and has been undertaken by total extraction resulting in closure of mining voids within a few years of completion, there is the potential for this site to have been underlain by shallow unrecorded mine workings that could have remained open. These areas could collapse, giving rise to settlement at the surface at some time in the future. The Coal Authority Development Risk Map for the Bolton area highlights several zones of “high risk” from shallow coal mining crossing the site from southwest to northeast.

8.2 Information Sources

Information has been obtained from the BGS 1:50,000 Sheet 84 Wigan, Solid Edition and Sheet 85 Manchester, Solid Edition. There is also a good record of the depths rock head and any coal seams within 20m of rock head, from the many boreholes undertaken for the proposed Bolton - Wigan link road to the west of the site boundary and available to view on the BGS borehole scans. This is supplemented by information from deep boreholes carried out for coal exploration and shaft records from within and just outside the site boundaries.

8.3 Coal Mining Geology - General

The site is underlain by rocks of the Pennine Middle Coal measures which contain the majority of the productive coal seams of the Coal Measures. Several named productive coal seams underlie the site at varying depths. The coal seams beneath the site typically dip down to the southeast at an angle of around 8 degrees. The coal measures are divided into several blocks by faulting parallel to the bedding from northeast to southwest. In addition there is a major fault normal to the dip running northwest to southeast which cuts across the northeast of the site.

For this coal mining assessment the site is divided into 6 areas based on faulted blocks as shown in Figure 3.

8.4 Coal Mining Geology – Detail

8.4.1 Area 1: Northwest of Site

This area lies to the north of the northernmost fault running across the site. The Cannel Mine coal seam is shown sub-cropping at the northwest corner dipping beneath the site. Although BGS records indicate a thickness of only 0.15m, the Coal Authority Development Risk Plan for Bolton indicates a high level of risk in this area, down dip of the sub crop of the Cannel Mine coal seam. A deep BGS borehole indicates the presence of the Plodder Mine seam at 92m bgl, the Sapling Mine coal should be present approximately 30m higher in the succession, but this is still over 60m bgl, and approximately 40m to 50m below rock head. Even allowing for an adjustment of depth to the up-dip extremity of the site, the depth of bedrock is still likely to be more than 30m, given the seam thickness recorded in a borehole just outside the site boundary as 2m it not considered to be of concern. Therefore the only seam potentially of concern in the northwest of the site would be the Cannel Mine which has been found to be too thin to be workable in this area.

8.4.2 Area 2 Centre/ North part of Site

This area lies between the most northerly and central of three roughly east west running faults and is underlain by the Trencherbone Rock, a major sandstone unit that overlies the extensively worked Trencherbone Mine coal seam which has a recorded thickness of up to 2.25m within the immediate vicinity of the site. The workings in the Trencherbone Mine coal seam are also noted for remaining open due to the sandstone roof. BGS boreholes drilled up to 20m below rock head, drilled on the line of the proposed link road to the west of the site did not encounter any coal or voids. However, the indicative dip and strike of the rock, from the BGS mapping suggests that the coal could be slightly shallower at the site, in particular beneath the proposed residential development near the eastern site boundary. The Hell Hole Mine coal seam, which has been encountered 40m above the Trencherbone Mine coal seam at a BGS borehole within the site, is shown sub-cropping at the southeast corner of this area.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 22

8.4.3 Area 3 Central part of Site

This area lies between the central and most southerly of the three quite closely spaced east west running faults (approx. 150m- 250m). This area is shown to include the sub crop of the Doe Mine and the Five Quarters (or Parker) Mine coal seams. The Hell Hole Mine coal seam, is located approximately 30m below the Five Quarters coal seam within the site. The Hell Hole Mine coal seam has a recorded thickness of between 0.6m and 0.8m in the vicinity of the site and is unlikely to be of concern in this area. The Five Quarters mine coal seam, with a recorded thickness of between 0.6m and 0.8m within the site, is identified in two deep boreholes sunk for the Atherton Mines Company and recorded on the BGS database. The Doe Mine is identified in the borehole records but is not named which suggests that it may not have been considered a workable seam in this area. This area includes possible proposed locations for a car park, the Club House and the Hotel and Conference Centre which are at or near the location of the existing farm buildings at Home Farm. It appears from the information available that the proposed car park and Club House are underlain by shallow coal seams and potentially, shallow mine workings.

8.4.4 Area 4 Central Southern part of Site

This is a broad area approximately 500m from north to south, extending from the southernmost of the closely spaced faults crossing the central part of the site to a further fault which crosses the southern part of the site. The Five Quarters Mine and Doe Mine coal seams are shown sub cropping in the northern part of this area. The southernmost of the Atherton Collieries boreholes shows that the Hell Hole Mine coal seam is located very close to the base of the superficial deposits at the northern boundary of this area. A BGS Shaft record for the park pits wood shaft, located in the east of the area approximately mid-way between the northern and southern boundary faults to this area show that the Five Quarters Mine coal is at a depth of 42m bgl, approximately 27m below the base of the superficial deposits. The Hell Hole Mine coal is shown to be at a depth of approximately 73m bgl. BGS records for the two Hulton Colliery shafts (Hulton No 3 and Hulton No 4) just outside the southern boundary of the site indicate the presence of unnamed coal seams over 0.6m in thickness approximately 10m and 20m above the Doe Mine coal seam. It is proposed that the vast majority of this area will be occupied by the golf course and wooded areas with some lakes. Residential development is proposed for the northern part of the east perimeter of this area. The access road to the proposed hotel and conference centre is shown passing through this area from the eastern boundary.

8.4.5 Area 5 Southeast of Site

This area lies south of the southernmost east west trending fault which crosses the site. There are minor northwest to southeast trending faults of relatively small displacement shown within this area. The sub crop of the Black and White Mine coal seam, over 2m in thickness, is shown crossing the south east corner of the site. No other coal seams are shown sub cropping within this area, but shaft records for the Hulton Pit located just beyond the southern site boundary indicate that the Doe Mine coal seam is only a few metres below rock head in the west of this area further east, east of a minor northwest to southeast trending fault. The Doe Mine Coal seam is deeper onsite, but is overlain be coal seams of potentially workable thickness (about 0.6m) approximately 10m and 20m higher in the succession. BGS records show that very closely spaced boreholes were undertaken to investigate the Black and White Mine coal seam beneath a recently constructed residential area immediately south of the southeast corner of the site. Residential development is proposed in the southern extremity of this area, including the vicinity of the sub crop of the Black and White Mine coal seam, at the eastern boundary, and in the south west corner of this area. Much of the remainder of the area comprises existing woodland which is to be retained and a smaller area is within the proposed golf course.

8.4.6 Area 6 Northeast of site

This area lies to the northeast of a major northwest- southeast trending fault, the Padiham Fault. A BGS record of a shaft located northeast (up-dip) of the site indicates that the Cannel Mine coal is 0.87m thick in this area and is present approximately 7m below rock head. The Sapling Mine coal seam (1.42m thick) is located approximately 33m below the Cannel Mine and is unlikely to be within influencing depth of the surface. The next significant coal seam

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 23

above the Cannel Mine is the Trencherbone seam which is shown sub-cropping south of the area.

8.5 Mine Shafts

The Coal Authority have identified 14 mine shafts present on or within 20m of the site .These are discussed individually below

8.5.1 Coal Authority Reference 367406-001

Associated with Hulton Pits adjacent to north boundary in northwest of site which closed between 1851 and 1892, this shaft is located in an area of fenced woodland that is to be retained. In the proposed development there is an ornamental pond shown in an open area approximately 25m southwest of the indicative position of the mineshaft.

The Coal Authority has no record of treatment of this shaft.

Given the position of the shaft within woodland, intrusive investigation to locate this shaft could be difficult. If the shaft can be positively identified by inspection at the surface this should be carried out. The nearest point of the proposed pond should be located at least 20m from the mineshaft. If the shaft cannot be located it is recommended that pond should be located at least 20m from the northern edge of the open area in which the pond is to be situated.


This shaft is also associated with Hulton Pits and is also within the same fenced wooded area. The nearest features to the indicated location of the shaft are proposed bunkers and a green between 100m and 150m distance.


Given the position of the shaft within woodland and the absence of sensitive development in the vicinity of the shaft, investigations should be staged starting with a walkover to try and identify its location, intrusive investigation may be required.


This shaft is the more southerly of the two shafts at the Hulton Collieries Bank Pits No’s 1 and 2, also referred to as Atherton Pits No’s 1 and 2. It is shown outside but within 20m of the site boundary. The shaft location is within a small area of woodland located outside the site boundary. A new wooded area is proposed within the site boundary with open land, possibly to be used as a campsite, beyond.


Given the position of the shaft within woodland and the absence of sensitive development in the vicinity of the shaft, investigations should be staged starting with a walkover to try and identify its location, intrusive investigation may be required.


This is the shaft for Park Pit which was sunk and became disused between 1892 and 1907. The shaft is located in the eastern part of Hulton Park approximately 100m south of Park Pits wood and 100m north of the main access to the former Hulton Hall. The shaft now lies within a small circular copse. Current development proposals are for a fairway to be constructed to the north of the copse and south of Park Pits Wood.

The Coal Authority has anecdotal evidence that the shaft was infilled with colliery shale at some time in the past but no other details of treatment.

Given the position of the shaft probably lies within a copse, investigations should be staged starting with a walkover to try and identify its location, intrusive investigation may be required.

It would be prudent not to carry out any earthworks associated with the proposed fairway within 20m of the shaft. If the shaft location cannot be accurately identified, earthworks should not be carried out within 20m of the edge of the copse.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 24


This shaft is one of a group of seven recorded shafts located in the south east corner of the site, probably associated with the coal pit recorded in 1851 in the vicinity of the former Park Cottage, and possibly other earlier coal pits in that area. It is proposed that residential development is undertaken in this area.

The shaft is recorded as being filled and then capped with a 3.7m square non-structural concrete cap in 1977 by the National Coal Board (NCB). The shaft is marked by a concrete obelisk which is shown on the 1:1,250 scale mapping and the site plan.

Location of the shaft is unnecessary if it is marked at surface. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account. If site infrastructure were to be constructed over the shaft, investigation and possibly treatment of the infill would be required together with a structural cap.


This is also one of the seven recorded shafts in the southeast corner of the site, located in an area in which residential development is proposed.

The shaft has been filled at some time in the past but the Coal Authority have no details of the fill materials used.

It will be essential to positively locate this shaft prior to site development. As the infill details are unknown, there is a potential risk to any one undertaking activities which disturb the shaft. Once the shaft is located appropriate detailed investigation of the shaft and treatment can be carried out using an appropriate safe working plan. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account.

Location of the shaft is unnecessary if it is marked at surface. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account. If site infrastructure were to be constructed over the shaft a structural cap would have to be constructed.




It will be essential to positively locate this shaft prior to site development. As the infill details are unknown, there is a potential risk to any one undertaking activities which disturb the shaft. However this shaft is situated at or very close to the site boundary and extreme caution must be taken when investigating its location or treating the shaft, and in any event there must be no trespass onto the adjoining property which is a back garden. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account.



The shaft is recorded as being filled and then capped with a 3.7m x 2.7m x 1.2m thick truncated concrete cone plug in 1977 by the NCB. The shaft is recorded as marked by a

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 25

concrete obelisk, but no such feature is shown on the 1:1,250 scale mapping or the site plan, therefore it is possible that this feature has been lost in which case it will be necessary to relocate the shaft.

If the surface marker has been lost it will be essential to positively locate this shaft prior to site development. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account.



The shaft is recorded as being filled and then capped with truncated concrete cone plug in 1977 by the NCB. The shaft is recorded as marked by a concrete pyramid, but no such feature is shown on 1:1,250 scale mapping or the site plan, therefore it is possible that this feature has been lost in which case it will be necessary to relocate the shaft. Particular care will be required because a stream is shown issuing close to the location of the shaft.

If the surface marker has been lost it will be essential to positively locate this shaft prior to site development. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account.




It will be essential to positively locate this shaft prior to site development. As the infill details are unknown, there is a potential risk to any one undertaking activities which disturb the shaft. However this shaft is situated at or very close to the existing buildings at Park End Farm. Given the high risk of movement if shaft infill material is disturbed it will not be safe to undertake intrusive investigations to locate the shaft whilst these buildings are occupied. Present development plans indicate that the farm buildings are not to be retained, and it would be safer to carry out shaft location after demolition has taken place. The demolition contractor will need to ensure they undertake their own risk assessment to ensure the mine shafts / working are not disturbed. New buildings must not be constructed within 20m of the shaft and detailed development plans must take this into account.


This shaft is in an area some distance from any mining recorded on the historical mapping since 1851, and it is assumed that this mine shaft was infilled at some time prior to 1851. The shaft is located approximately 80m south of the access road to the former Hulton Hall to the south of Park Pits Wood.

In 2004 JMC Engineering, under the direction of the Coal Authority, infilled the shaft to within 1m of the surface with stone and finished with a conical plug of concrete covered over with topsoil.

It is proposed that a fairway will occupy the area in the vicinity of the shaft.

It would be prudent to locate the shaft and ensure that the fairway was designed to be level and at grade, within 20m of the shaft.


This shaft is located in Park Pits Wood in an area that was mined prior to 1851 and between 1851 and 1892. The shaft is shown within 20m to the north of a second shaft, Coal Authority Reference368405-009. The shaft is shown to be in the immediate vicinity of a proposed tee on the golf course.


HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 26

It will be prudent to positively locate the shaft and investigate the fill, and if appropriate undertake shaft treatment prior to carrying out regrading to form the tee. Alternatively, once the shaft has been located the golf tee could be moved further to the north to avoid the need for detailed investigation and treatment. The large concrete cap on Shaft 368405-009 can be used to provide a marker for commencing location of this shaft. It should be noted that the woodland in park pits wood is fairly open and it is anticipated that plant used for locating the shaft will be able to operate without difficulty.


This shaft was located in Park Pits Wood and has been shown on the historical mapping since 1851. It is shown to be on the edge of an area that is to be retained as woodland immediately south of a proposed golf tee.

This shaft was recorded as being capped with a non-structural concrete cap, 12.2m x 9.6m x 0.68m thick, by the NCB in 1977. No detail of infill is given.

The cap is clearly shown on the site plan and the 1:10,000 and 1:1,250 mapping.

Location of the shaft is unnecessary if it is marked at surface. Given that shaft 368405-008 is closer to any proposed development than this shaft, investigations should be staged starting with a walkover to try and identify its location, intrusive investigation may be required.

8.6 Recommendation for Investigation for Mine Workings

A targeted investigation is recommended to define areas at risk of subsidence at the surface specifically in areas in which subsidence would have an impact on the proposed development.

8.6.1 The proposal for the investigation for coal mining is based on the following:

• Areas in which settlement at the surface will have a significant impact should have sufficient investigation to define any zones potentially at risk and requiring detailed investigation and treatment. These ‘critical’ areas are

− areas of proposed residential development

− the vicinity of the proposed hotel and conference centre

− The vicinity of the club house and car park

− Access routes

• Areas overlying coal seams 0.4m or greater in thickness are considered to be potentially workable. Where there is less than 10 times seam thickness cover of bedrock, the collapse of workings is considered to pose a potential risk to development at the surface.

• The existence and approximate location of faults as shown on the BGS maps is assumed to be correct, and a general dip of strata to the southeast is assumed. However, sufficient exploratory holes should be drilled to sufficient depth to define the fault locations and dip of strata with greater accuracy in ‘critical’ areas of the site.

• BGS borehole data for boreholes penetrating bedrock and shaft records have been used in conjunction with the geological mapping in the design of the ground investigation.

• It is assessed that sufficient information will be gained from the investigation of ‘critical’ areas of the site to enable a reasonable assessment to be made of the areas of the golf course potentially at risk from shallow mine workings. In particular informed decisions can be made to decide whether any greens require re-siting.

8.6.2 The specific objectives of the proposed exploratory holes for mining risk assessment are as follows:

• Residential areas within the east part of the proposed golf course, spa, car park and club house. To define the extent of the northern central part of the site (Area 2) between the faults defining the areas underlain by the Trencherbone Rock with the Trencherbone Mine

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 27

coal seam beneath, and establish the minimum thickness of bedrock cover over the Trencherbone Mine coal seam and whether it poses a risk to development. In addition, to define the areas potentially at risk from shallow mining in the Five Quarters Mine or Doe Mine coal seams in the central belt (Area 3).

• Residential area south west of the proposed golf course. Delineation of the area at risk from any shallow mining in the Five Quarters Mine, or Doe Mine coal seams.

• Delineation of any areas at risk from shallow mining in the Trencherbone Mine, Five Quarters Mine and the Doe Mine coal seams in the vicinity of the proposed Hotel and Conference Centre. It is considered that these boreholes may be located in open ground to the north, east and south of the proposed Hotel and Conference Centre as the general dip of strata is quite uniform. This increases the confidence in the location of faulting and areas at risk from shallow mine workings across the central part of the site (Areas 2 and 3).

• Determination of areas at risk from shallow mine workings in the Hell Hole Mine coal seam in the east of the site, to assist in golf course layout.

• Investigation of the ground beneath the residential area northeast of the Padiham Fault to determine whether the Cannel Mine coal is sufficiently close to rock head to pose a risk from shallow mine workings in that area. (Area 6)

• To determine the areas at risk from shallow mine workings in the Five Quarters and Doe Mine coal seams in the central southern part of the site (Area 4). This will assist the design of the proposed Golf Course and in the proposed residential development at the eastern site boundary.

• To determine the location of the sub crop of the Black and White Mine coal seam and define the extent of the areas requiring detailed investigation and treatment in the proposed residential area in the southeast corner of the site.

• To determine the areas at risk from shallow mine workings in the recorded un-named coal seams between the Doe Mine coal seam and the Black and White Mine coal seam beneath the proposed residential areas in the southeast of the site.

• To confirm whether there is a potential risk from shallow mining in the Cannel Mine coal seam in the north west of the site.

8.6.3 The Investigation of Mine Shafts

Prior to undertaking any intrusive investigation of mineshafts a more detailed report on those mine entries considered to have a potential impact on the proposed development will be required. It would be reasonable to omit some of the mine entries which are now, and will continue to be within woodland after site development. It would also be reasonable to omit obtaining detailed reports for mine shafts which are clearly marked at the surface and sufficient information exists to assess whether treatment is required.

It is considered that mine entry reports should be obtained for the following mine entries.

• 367406-001

• 368404-009

• 368404-011

• 368404-012

• 368404-013

• 368404-014

• 368406-008

HULTON PARK

Where mine shafts are to be located by intrusive investigation the method which minimises the risk to plant and personnel working on the investigation is by use of a long reach excavator. The method involves stripping the topsoil and any made ground to reveal the top of the natural ground. The presence of an infilled shaft is evident by the contrast between the infill and surrounding natural ground. There are five particular advantages of this method over probing using vertical holes over the shaft.

• The method is much quicker over thick superficial deposits where drilling each hole is time consuming.

• The shape and size of the shaft is immediately apparent.

• Plant and personnel are remote from the shaft and are not at risk from a collapse.

• The chance of collapse is lower because there is less disturbance to the fill than when drilling, particularly if the superficial deposits are deep.

• The chance and severity of collapse are reduced because the weight of the machine is not bearing down on the shaft fill and the weight of the machine bucket can be removed completely at the first sign of instability.

Where treatment is identified as being required this should be carried out separately as pre construction development works.

9. CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL

The site in terms of potential land contamination will be regulated by the local authority under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), taking account of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, with the Environment Agency, Natural England and English Heritage acting as statutory consultees.

The “suitable for use” approach is adopted for the assessment of contaminated land where remedial measures are only undertaken where unacceptable risks to human health or the environment are realised taking into account the use (or proposed use) of the land in question and the environmental setting.

Additional environmental liabilities can arise through provisions contained within statutory legislation including Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Water Resources Act 1991, the Groundwater Regulations 2009 and the Water Act 2003.

Current best practice recommends that the determination of health hazards due to contaminated land is based on the principle of risk assessment, as outlined in the Statutory Guidance to Part 2A (2012).

The risk assessment process for environmental contaminants is based on a source-pathway-receptor analysis. These terms can be defined as follows:

• Source: hazardous substance that has the potential to cause adverse impacts.

• Pathway: route whereby a hazardous substance may come into contact with the receptor: examples include ingestion of contaminated soil and leaching of contaminants from soil into watercourses.

• Receptor: target that may be affected by contamination: examples include human occupants/users of site, water resources (surface waters or groundwater), or structures.

For a risk to be present, there must be a relevant contaminant linkage; i.e. a mechanism whereby a source impacts on a sensitive receptor via a pathway.

The following sections detail the preliminary conceptual site model (CSM) which has been developed for the site with a view to assessing the potential risks/ liabilities associated with the site in its current condition prior to any land transaction. Risks associated with future construction and upon completion of the proposed development are also assessed. The potential sources of contamination, potential receptors and potential contaminant pathways are identified for the site.

9.1 Sources of Potential Contamination

9.2 On-Site Sources

The following are considered to be sources of potential contamination at the site of the proposed development:

• Former agricultural land - heavy metals and inorganic compounds, fertilizers and pesticides and organic wastes and sludges;

• Former onsite colliery activities:

− Made ground: Former infilled colliery and associated buildings – Fuels and oils, coal, ash and clinker including PAHs, heavy metals and inorganic compounds, chlorinated and non-chlorinated organic solvents;

− Made ground & fill material: Hulton Hall – asbestos and asbestos containing materials, paints, oils and fuels including coal;

− Above ground and underground storage tanks – Bulk storage of oils and fuels;

− Railway sidings & bunkers: Coal, coal dust and ash;

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 30

• Bulk soil gases: methane, carbon dioxide and other trace gases may be generated from made ground, natural deposits and the underlying coal seam;

• Soil vapours: Volatile organic compounds may be present emanating from soil/ groundwater sources of organic contaminants; and

• Shallow coal mining & instability associated with former underground mining of the coal seam.

9.2.1 Off-Site Sources

The following are considered to be potential sources of contamination located adjacent to or within 250m radius of the site:

• Infilled ponds, spoil heaps and made ground associated with wider colliery activities

9.3 Potential Chemicals of Concern (CoPC)

Soils

• Heavy metals & inorganic compounds;

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs);

• Petroleum Hydrocarbons including heating oils and fuels (petroleum/ diesel);

• Pesticides and fertilizers associated with former agricultural land uses; and

• Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) in soils;

Groundwater

• Dissolved heavy metals and inorganic compounds;

• Dissolved phase TPH and free phase products; and

• Dissolved chlorinated solvents and non-chlorinated solvents including free phase products.

Bulk ground gases and vapours

• Ground gases including methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide; and

• Soil vapours associated with volatile chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents.

9.4 Potential Pathways

Human Health

• Direct dermal contact including ingestion of soil particulates and dusts;

• Inhalation of soil vapours / bulk ground gas, and

• Plant / vegetable uptake associated with residential gardens, soft landscaped and open amenity areas.

Controlled Waters

• Leaching of chemicals from the made ground deposits and infilled material in to the underlying Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits;

• Leaching of residual contamination in the Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits into the Secondary A PLCM aquifer; and

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 31

• Lateral and vertical migration of groundwater in the Secondary A aquifers towards identified surface water features including the Carr Brook.

Bulk Ground Gases/ Soil Vapour

• Vertical migration of ground gases/ soil vapour from underlying infilled materials and deeper PLCM deposits into proposed on-site buildings/ enclosed structures (i.e. manholes/ chambers etc.)

9.5 Potential Receptors

Human Health – Future

• Future construction and maintenance workers (acute exposure risk)1;

• Future maintenance workers (acute exposure risk), and

• Future residents (chronic exposure risk).

Controlled Waters

• Underlying Secondary A aquifer (superficial glacio-fluvial deposits in the SW and PLCMF);

• Carr Brook located on-site and flows in a north-south direction; and

• A tertiary river and culvert is located on-site to the south west.

Buildings

• Proposed residential properties, hotels and conference centre including foundations and services.

Flora and Fauna

• Landscaping, gardens and potential open amenity areas.

9.6 Potential Relevant Contaminant Linkages

• Direct dermal contact and ingestion of soil particulates and dusts (including ACMs) by future site residents associated with residual made ground and infilled wastes;

• Inhalation of volatile soil vapours and bulk ground gases by future site residents associated with made ground including those located in the vicinity of any former ASTs or infilled wastes;

• Ingestion of fruit and vegetables grown within residual made ground and infilled waste deposits and residual soil particulates adhered to vegetables grown within potentially impacted shallow soils;

• Leaching - vertical migration of mobile CoPC’s present within shallow soils into the underlying Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits and lateral migration into on-site primary and tertiary rivers and culverts.

• Leaching – vertical migration of mobile CoPC’s present within underlying Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits into the Secondary A PLCM aquifer and lateral migration into on-site tertiary rivers and culverts.

10. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSSMENT FRAMEWORK

10.1 Risk Assessment Principles

Using criteria broadly based on those presented in Section 6.3 of the CIRIA Report “Contaminated Land Risk Assessment: A Guide to Good Practice” (CIRIA Report C552) the magnitude of the risk associated with potential contamination at the site has been assessed.

To do this an estimate is made of:

• the potential severity of the risk; and,

• The likelihood of the risk occurring.

The severity of the risk is classified according to the criteria in Table 9.1.

Table 10.1 Severity of Risk

Severe

Acute risks to human health likely to result in “significant harm” (e.g. very high concentrations of contaminants/ground gases)

Catastrophic damage to buildings/property (e.g. by explosion, sites with high gassing potential, extensive VOC contamination)

Major pollution of controlled waters (e.g. surface watercourses or Principal aquifers/source protection zones)

Short term risk to a particular ecosystem

Medium

Chronic (long-term) risk to human health likely to result in “significant harm” (e.g. elevated concentration of contaminants/ground gases)

Pollution of sensitive controlled waters (e.g. surface watercourses or Principal/ Secondary aquifers)

Significant effects on sensitive ecosystems or species

Mild

Pollution of non-sensitive waters (e.g. smaller surface watercourses or non-aquifers)

Significant damage to crops, buildings, structures or services (e.g. by explosion, sites with medium gassing potential, elevated concentrations of contaminants)

Minor

Non-permanent human health effects (requirement for protective equipment during site works to mitigate health effects)

Damage to non-sensitive ecosystems or species

Minor (easily repairable) damage to buildings, structures or services (e.g. by explosion, sites with low gassing potential)

The probability of the risk occurring is classified according to the criteria in Table 9.2.

Table 10.2 Probability of Risk Occurrence

High likelihood Contaminant linkage may be present that appears very likely in the short-term and risk is almost certain to occur in the long term, or there is evidence of harm to the receptor

Likely Contaminant linkage may be present, and it is probable that the risk will occur over the long term

Low likelihood Contaminant linkage may be present and there is a possibility of the risk occurring, although there is no certainty that it will do so.

Unlikely Contaminant linkage may be present but the circumstances under which harm would occur even in the long-term are improbable.

10.2 Preliminary Risk Evaluation

A preliminary evaluation of the potential risks associated with the identified sources at the site to the various potential receptors is discussed and presented in the following sections (please refer to Table 9.4). The level of risk is determined based on the current condition of the site (i.e. the effects of mitigation measures are not included).

Risk

Risks from explosion of ground gases associated with historical shallow mining activities

Severe Unlikely Moderate / Low

Risk

The overall risks posed by the site to future site users are considered to be moderate / low risk dependent upon the exposure pathway.

It is considered to be a low likelihood of future site users are undergoing an extended exposure to any significant contaminants. However consideration should be given to the potential presence of contamination in the made ground and a clean topsoil cover system may

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 34

be required where soft landscaped, open amenity space and residential gardens are proposed.

Based on the former underground coal mining activities associated with the historical colliery operations, the potential for accumulation and explosion of bulk ground gases cannot be discounted at this time. However, the likelyhood of occurrence is considered to be unlikely and is classified as a moderate /low with respect to level of risk.

10.2.2 Discussion of Risk to Controlled Waters

Level of Risk

Vertical migration of contaminants within leachate derived from Made Ground into the underlying groundwater and lateral migration to identified surface waters features (Carr Brook).

Medium Unlikely Low Risk

Migration of contaminants within generated Made Ground leachate into perched ground water in the superficial deposits (Peat & Sands and Clays – southwest corner of the site).

Medium Low Likelihood Moderate/ Low

Risk

The potential risks to the underlying superficial Secondary A aquifer and PLCM Secondary A bedrock aquifer are considered to be low risk given the presence of impermeable glacial till across the majority of the site. The glacial till will offer a degree of vertical protection from overlying infill and made ground deposits however at this time the lateral and vertical extent of the superficial deposits are unknown.

Given the presence of superficial deposits of peats, sands and clays in the southwest corner of the site, the potential for migration of dissolved phase contaminants from overlying made ground and infilled materials into the superficial deposits (Secondary A aquifer) into the Secondary A PLCM bedrock aquifer cannot be discounted. Based on the potential vertical hydraulic connectivity between the two Secondary A aquifers, the level of risk has been classified as moderate / low risk.

10.2.3 Discussion of Risk to Off-Site Receptors

Table 10.6 Summary of Risk to Off-Site Receptors



Level of Risk

Inhalation of organic vapours from organic contaminants & inhalation of dust

(Off-site receptors).

Medium Unlikely Low Risk

Given the extent of the proposed development and the location of historical colliery activities, the risk to off-site receptors is low risk as any residual volatile contamination and soil particulates and dusts are likely to attenuate prior to exposure to third parties.

Where risks to workers local to the site are considered likely then exposure would be derived through windblown dusts and ground gas inhalation exposure pathways. The highest potential exposure to site derived dusts and / or vapours and ground gases is during the construction phase. In order to mitigate any potential exposure the adoption of good practice as outlined in ‘Environmental Good Practice on Site’ and the CIRIA C692 publication.

10.2.4 Discussion of Risk to Development Infrastructure

A summary of potential risks to the development infrastructure is presented in the table below.

Risk

Instability associated with potential shallow coal mining of coal seams.

Severe Likely High Risk

The overall risk to the development infrastructure is considered to be moderate / low to high risk due to the potential for ground instability associated with the former coal mining activities beneath the site that cannot be discounted.

Where in-situ ground structures (i.e. buried foundations and underground structures) are proposed residential, hotel and conference centre buildings then consideration for potential aggregative soil conditions would require further consideration. Given the uncertainty with respect to ground conditions, the level of risk is classified as moderate / low risk.

In addition where potable water supply pipes, buried services are proposed as part of the development it would be deemed necessary to consider this further prior to placement /installation.

The potential risk from ground instability associated with the former underground coal mining are considered to be high and as such further consideration is deemed necessary through intrusive investigation.

10.2.5 Discussion of Risk to Flora and Fauna



Level of Risk

Direct contact with contaminants within Made Ground

Minor Low Likelihood Very Low Risk

Direct contact with contaminants in leachate Minor Low Likelihood Very Low Risk

Ground Gases affecting root system Minor Low Likelihood Very Low Risk

The risks to flora and fauna from soil contaminants, leachate and ground gasses are considered to be a very low risk.

There are no sensitive or protected ecosystems located on the site or within the wider environs that would require further consideration. However, given the potential presence of significant thicknesses of made ground and fill materials associated with the former colliery

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 36

activities the presence of phyto-toxic contaminants (copper and zinc) cannot be discounted. It may be deemed necessary to employ clean cover systems in areas of residential gardens, open amenity areas and soft landscaped areas to mitigate the potential for plant distress and dieback.

10.2.6 Discussion of Risk to Construction Workers

The preliminary qualitative human health risk assessments presented in this report focuses on the long-term chronic health risks. An assessment of this type is not applicable to the potential risk to site workers during construction (acute risks).

Prior to work commencing, a health and safety risk assessment should be carried out by the principal contractor in accordance with current health and safety regulations.

A H&S assessment should cover potential risks to both construction staff and the local population. Based on the findings of this preliminary qualitative risk assessment, appropriate mitigation measures should be implemented during the construction period. This risk assessment should include concern for potential ACM within the Made Ground, if identified during any intrusive investigation.

The greatest potential for generation of dust will be during the site works therefore dust generation should be kept to a minimum in accordance with general best practice, as outlined in ‘Environmental Good Practice on Site’ and CIRIA C692 publications.

The risk to construction workers in terms of potential exposure to high concentrations of contaminants is considered to be low to moderate given the historical land uses identified at the site. Where local high concentrations of contamination are identified during the construction phase, these may pose a potential acute risk to construction works however can be effectively managed through good health and safety practices.

11. CONCLUSIONS

11.1 Summary

AECOM have undertaken a geotechnical and geo-environmental desk study for a proposed redevelopment at Hulton Park on behalf of Peel Holdings. The site is located approximately 5km southwest of Bolton and comprises an area of approximately 250 hectares. The site consists of the former Hulton Park Estate and areas of agricultural land. The site is to be developed for a combination of residential and leisure activities and will include a hotel and conference centre, a golf course and residential properties with gardens around the periphery.

11.2 Geotechnical

The site is underlain by superficial deposits comprising mostly glacial till which is underlain by mudstones and sandstones of the Pennine Middle Coal Measures which contained many productive coal seams.

It is envisaged that the majority of the proposed residential properties will be founded on conventional shallow spread foundations and locally on deeper trench fill foundations where the glacial till is soft near the surface.

It is envisaged that the hotel and conference centre require more substantial foundations. Normally this would comprise piled foundations taken to bedrock, but because of the risk of subsidence due to the potential for the collapse of shallow mine workings an alternative solution, such as using raft foundations may be more appropriate.

There are likely to be some earthworks associated with the fairways, greens and tees on the golf course. This may include the reworking of soils on site although it is likely that imported free draining granular soil will also be required.

11.3 Mining

The site is underlain by the Pennine Middle Coal Measures which contain many coal seams, several of which have been mined from within the site or from coal mines outside the site with workings extending beneath the site.

Whilst mining of the deeper coal seams beneath the site has been carried out from within large collieries and is recorded, the mining of the shallow coal seams is mostly from small pits abandoned before mining abandonment records became mandatory. As Hulton Park has a history of mining back to 1571, it is probable that unrecorded shallow worked coal seams are present beneath the site.

The available information from BGS Geological Maps and borehole records are useful but is based on too few data points to enable the specific areas potentially at risk of shallow mine workings to be defined. However, this information does enable a more detailed targeted investigation to be designed.

The Coal Authority mining report for the site identifies fourteen recorded mineshafts on or within 20m of the site. Of these, six require further investigation, because they are within areas in which they could affect the proposed development, and are not or may not be visible at the surface. The remaining recorded shafts should be visually located with additional investigations as necessary to define their state of remediation.

11.4 Geo-Environmental

The review of historical and environmental information including hydrogeological and hydrological data has identified the site as potentially low to moderate sensitivity with respect to potential risks to human health and controlled water receptors from the proposed mixed residential and open space/leisure redevelopment scheme.

Based on the historical site activities including the potential infilling of former colliery ponds, mine shafts, and shallow coal mining, the preliminary conceptual site model has identified the following potential sources of contamination:

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 38

• Made ground associated with former colliery activities and infilling with chemicals of concern including fuels and oils, coal, ash and clinker including PAHs, heavy metals and inorganic compounds, chlorinated and non-chlorinated organic solvents.

• Made ground including asbestos and asbestos containing materials, paints, oils and fuels including coal associated with the demolished Hulton Hall and other on-site buildings.

• Former railway sidings & bunkers: Coal, coal dust and ash.

• Bulk soil gases (methane, carbon dioxide and other trace gases) & soil vapours associated with historical made ground deposits associated with former colliery activities.

Based on the context of the proposed development and the preliminary Conceptual Site Model the following complete pollution linkages have been identified that would require further consideration.

• Direct dermal contact and ingestion of soil particulates and dusts (including ACMs) by future site residents associated with residual made ground and infilled wastes.

• Inhalation of volatile soil vapours and bulk ground gases by future site residents associated with made ground including those located in the vicinity of any former ASTs or infilled wastes.

• Ingestion of fruit and vegetables grown within residual made ground and infilled waste deposits and residual soil particulates adhered to vegetables grown within potentially impacted shallow soils.

• Leaching - vertical migration of mobile CoPC’s present within shallow soils into the underlying Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits and lateral migration into on-site primary and tertiary rivers and culverts.

• Leaching – vertical migration of mobile CoPC’s present within underlying Secondary A glacio-fluvial deposits into the Secondary A PLCM aquifer and lateral migration into on-site tertiary rivers and culverts.

Based on the environmental review of the all available pertinent information, it is considered that the main risk driver for the site is potential geotechnical development constraints. However, given the proposed moderate to high sensitivity of the proposed redevelopment (residential properties with gardens and open leisure facilities) it is considered prudent to undertake a ground investigation in order to quantify and assess the potential risks to future residents, site occupants and visitors and identified controlled water receptors.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS

An intrusive ground investigation is recommended to provide sufficient information to:

• Facilitate environmental characterisation of the site.

• Enable characteristic geotechnical parameters to be determined for the various strata beneath the site.

• Enable areas at risk from shallow mine workings and mine shafts to be determined.

12.1 Environmental Investigation

To characterise the site in sufficient detail to enable development proposals to go forward for outline planning it will be necessary to carry out environmental sampling at a spacing of approximately 100m across the most of the site, with the exception of established woodland areas that are to be retained. Areas of proposed built development, located mostly in plots around the periphery of the site will require environmental sampling at a spacing less than 75m.

To meet this requirement it is assessed that approximately 220 sampling locations will be required. At each sampling location an exploratory hole must be taken to at least 1m below the topsoil or any made ground. It is envisaged that the majority of the site will be underlain by natural ground immediately below the topsoil and shallow pits 2m - 3m in depth will suffice.

Suites of contamination tests should be undertaken on selected samples of near surface soil and groundwater.

12.2 Geotechnical Investigation

It is assessed that to provide characteristic geotechnical parameters of the site approximately 35 cable percussion boreholes will be required mostly in the proposed areas of built development, but also in areas of the proposed golf course that will have mounded features, bunkers and raised greens and tees. The cable percussion boreholes should be taken to rock head to enable the ground model to be developed.

In the vicinity of the proposed hotel and conference centre it is considered that four of the boreholes should continue into rock by rotary coring to enable pile design. The rotary core holes will also supplement the mining assessment.

Window sample holes are also proposed in the vicinity of the Hotel and Conference Centre in the immediate vicinity of Home Farm, where larger drilling plant cannot operate.

Approximately 35 trial pits will also be required to supplement the geotechnical information in areas of earthworks on the golf course and along proposed access routes.

Standpipes should be installed in each borehole and window sample hole, most with shallow gas and groundwater monitoring holes and a few with deeper standpipes or standpipe piezometers. No standpipes should penetrate the coal measures.

Environmental samples will be taken from the geotechnical boreholes and trial pits to minimise the total number of exploratory holes required.

A program of laboratory testing should be undertaken comprising the following

• Classification tests.

• Compaction tests.

• Laboratory CBR tests.

• Consolidation tests.

• Unconsolidated undrained triaxial compression tests.

• Uniaxial compression tests on rock.

• Point load index tests on rock.

HULTON PARK

April 2015 Page 40

• Soil aggressivity tests in accordance with BRE Special Digest 1.

12.3 Mining Investigation

To supplement the information obtained from the BGS mapping and borehole records it is assessed that approximately 25 rotary boreholes will be required to define the areas at risk from shallow mine workings. The penetration of the holes into rock will vary according to the thickness of specific coal seams subject to investigation and the total depth will also vary according to the thickness of superficial deposits.

Most of the rotary boreholes should be drilled in areas of proposed built development, but a few boreholes are also proposed in the golf course area to provide better coverage of the site.

The majority of the rotary boreholes to investigate the presence of coal seams will be rotary open hole with examination of the flush, however it is recommended that a few cored holes are drilled to better define the thickness of the coal seams, evidence of ground disturbed by settlement and the quality of any particular coal seam.

In most cases rotary drilling will take place from the termination of cable percussion boreholes to minimise the total number of exploratory holes and the total meterage drilled.

To investigate the location of mine shafts it is recommended that a mine entry report is obtained for each Coal Authority recorded shaft identified as having the potential to impact on any proposed development. On the basis of the additional information provided, in particular the coordinates, an intrusive investigation should then be carried out using a long reach excavator to remove the topsoil and any made ground so as to reveal the shaft infill.

This report is provided under and subject to the Terms & Conditions agreed between Groundsure and the Client. The document contains the following sections:

1. Environmental Permits, Incidents and RegistersProvides information on Regulated Industrial Activities and Pollution Incidents as recorded by Regulatory Au-thorities, and sites determined as Contaminated Land. This search is conducted using radii up to 500m.

2. Landfills and Other Waste SitesProvides information on landfills and other waste sites that may pose a risk to the study site. This search is con-ducted using radii up to 1500m.

3. Current Land UsesProvides information on current land uses that may pose a risk to the study site in terms of potential contamina-tion from activities or processes. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 500m. This includes informa-tion on potentially contaminative industrial sites, petrol stations and fuel sites as well as high pressure under -ground oil and gas pipelines.

4. GeologyProvides information on artificial and superficial deposits and bedrock beneath the study site.

5. Hydrogeology and HydrologyProvides information on productive strata within the bedrock and superficial geological layers, abstraction li -censes, Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and river quality. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m.

6. FloodingProvides information on surface water flooding, flood defences, flood storage areas and groundwater flood areas. This search is conducted using radii of up to 250m.

7. Designated Environmentally Sensitive Sites Provides information on the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), National Nature Reserves (NNR), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar sites, Local Nature Reserves (LNR), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Parks (NP), Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and World Heritage Sites and Scheduled Ancient Woodland. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m.

8. Natural HazardsProvides information on a range of natural hazards that may pose a risk to the study site. These factors include natural ground subsidence.

9. MiningProvides information on areas of coal and shallow mining.

10. ContactsThis section of the report provides contact points for statutory bodies and data providers that may be able to provide further information on issues raised within this report. Alternatively, Groundsure provide a free Technic-al Helpline (08444 159000) for further information and guidance.

Note: MapsOnly certain features are placed on the maps within the report. All features represented on maps found within this search are given an identification number. This number identifies the feature on the mapping and correlates it to the additional information provided below. This identification number precedes all other information and takes the following format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proxim -ity that the numbers would obscure each other a letter identifier is used instead to represent the features. (e.g. Three features which overlap may be given the identifier “A” on the map and would be identified separately as features 1A, 3A, 10A on the data tables provided). Where a feature is reported in the data tables to a distance greater than the map area, it is noted in the data table as “Not Shown”. All distances given in this report are in Metres (m). Directions are given as compass headings such as N: North, E: East, NE: North East from the nearest point of the study site boundary.

5.7 Source Protection Zones within Confined Aquifer

Are there any Source Protection Zones within the Confined Aquifer within 500m of the study site?

No

Historically, Source Protection Zone maps have been focused on regulation of activities which occur at or near the ground surface, such as prevention of point source pollution and bacterial contamination of water supplies. Sources in confined aquifers were often considered to be protected from these surface pressures due to the presence of a low permeability confining layer (e.g. glacial till, clay). The increased interest in subsurface activities such as onshore oil and gas exploration, ground source heating and cooling requires protection zones for confined sources to be marked on SPZ maps where this has not already been done.


5.8 Groundwater Vulnerability and Soil Leaching Potential

Is there any Environment Agency information on groundwater vulnerability and soil leaching potential within 500m of the study site? Yes

6.6 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

6.6.1 Are there any British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site?

Yes

Does this relate to Clearwater Flooding or Superficial Deposits Flooding? Superficial Deposits Flooding

Notes: Groundwater flooding may either be associated with shallow unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers which overlie unproductive aquifers (Superficial Deposits Flooding), or with unconfined aquifers (Clearwater Flooding).

6.6.2 What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions?

Potential at Surface

Where potential for groundwater flooding to occur at surface is indicated, this means that given the geological conditions in the area groundwater flooding hazard should be considered in all land-use planning decisions. It is recommended that other relevant information e.g. records of previous incidence of groundwater flooding, rainfall, property type, and land drainage information be investigated in order to establish relative, but not absolute, risk of groundwater flooding.

6.7 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? High

Notes: Groundwater flooding is defined as the emergence of groundwater at the ground surface or the rising of groundwater into man-made ground under conditions where the normal range of groundwater levels is exceeded.

The confidence rating is on a threefold scale - Low, Moderate and High. This provides a relative indication of the BGS confidence in the accuracy of the susceptibility result for groundwater flooding. This is based on the amount and precision of the information used in the assessment. In areas with a relatively lower level of confidence the susceptibility result should be treated with more caution. In other areas with higher levels of confidence the susceptibility result can be used with more confidence.

1. Residential Radon Potential Result

1.1 Is the property in a Radon Affected Area?

The information in this section provides an answer to one of the standard legal enquiries onhouse purchase in England and Wales, known as CON29 standard Enquiry of Local Authority;3.13 Radon Gas: Location of the Property in a Radon Affected Area.

Question: Is the property in a Radon Affected Area as defined by Public Health England(PHE)and if so what percentage of homes are above the Action Level?

Answer: The property is in a Radon Affected Area, as between 1 and 3% of properties areabove the Action Level.

1.2 Are Radon Protective Measures required?

The information in this section will detail the level of protection required for new dwellingsunder as described in the latest Building Research Establishment guidance on radon protectivemeasures for new dwellings. This may include extensions to the property.

Question: Is the property in an area where Radon Protection Measures are required for newproperties or extensions to existing ones as described in either publications BR211 (Englandand Wales) or BR376 (Scotland) by the Building Research Establishment?

Answer: No Radon Protective Measures are necessary.

1.3 Combined Radon Guidance

Radon is a colourless, odourless radioactive gas which is present in all areas of the UnitedKingdom, usually at levels that pose a negligible risk to homebuyers. However, in some areaslevels of radon are much higher than in others, and in these cases it can pose a health risk.The data supplied by the Public Health England (PHE) and the British Geological Survey (BGS)is not able to determine exact Radon levels, as this information can only be obtained throughsite-specific, in-situ testing. As 1-3% of properties in the area may be radon affected the PHErecommend carrying out a site-specific radon assessment. This costs £49.80 including VAT andthe results are confidential to the client. Please contact the PHE (01235 831 600) for furtherinformation and advice.

If planning on building an extension or a new build property, no Radon Protective Measures arerequired.

1.4 Further details on Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground.Outdoors, it is diluted to very low levels. However, in some cases the radon level indoors canbuild up to high concentrations. In such cases, it does pose a serious risk to health. Exposureto high concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer. Public Health England recommendsthat radon levels should be reduced in homes where the annual average is at or above 200becquerels per cubic metre (200 Bq m-3). This is termed the Action Level. Public HealthEngland defines Radon Affected Areas as those with 1% chance or more of a house having aradon concentration at or above the Action Level of 200 Bq m-3.

The joint PHE-BGS digital Radon Potential Dataset used in this report provides the currentdefinitive map of Radon Affected Areas in England and Wales.

Indoor radon levels can usually be substantially reduced at a cost comparable to many homeimprovements, such as replacing carpets. Details of methods of reducing radon levels are givenon the Building Research Establishment Website. http://www.bre.co.uk/radon/index.html

Mine entriesWithin, or within 20 metres of, the boundary of the property there are 14 mine entries, theapproximate positions of which are shown on the attached plan.

Our records disclose the following information:368404-008. This shaft was filled and capped with a 3.7m square non-structural concretecap in November 1977 by the National Coal Board. A 900mm high concrete obeliskmarks the position..368404-007. This shaft has been filled at some time in the past There are no details ofthe fill material or date of filling..368404-012. This shaft was filled and plugged with a truncated concrete coned plug inNovember 1977 by the National Coal Board. The shaft is marked with a 900mm highconcrete pyramid.368404-006. This shaft was filled and capped with a 3.7m square non-structural concretecap in November 1977 by the National Coal Board. The shaft is marked with a 900mmhigh concrete obelisk..367406-001. No treatment details.368404-013. No treatment details.368404-001. it is thought that this shaft has been filled at some time in the past withcolliery shale. There are no details of the date of filling..368404-011. This shaft was filled and plugged with a 3.7m x 2.7m x 1.2m thick truncatedconcrete cone plug in November 1977 by the National Coal Board The shaft is markedwith a 900mm high concrete obelisk.368404-014. This shaft was reported to be insecure and voided behind damaged fencingin March 2004. Subsequently it was filled to within 1m of the surface with 182 tonnes ofstone. A 2m cone was formed at the surface by the removal of the material surroundingthe shaft. A plug was formed by placing 8 cub metres of concrete within the conical spaceand the shaft. 40 tonnes of topsoil were used to repair the access route and shaft fillingarea. These works were carried out by JMC Engineering on behalf of The Coal Authority.368404-009. No treatment details.368405-008. No treatment details.367406-002. No treatment details.368405-009. This shaft was capped with a non structural cap 12.2m x 9.6m x 0.68m thickin December 1977 by the National Coal Board.367405-004. No treatment details.Records may be incomplete. Consequently, there may exist in the local area mine entries ofwhich the Coal Authority has no knowledge.For an additional fee, the Coal Authority will provide a supplementary Mine Entry InterpretiveReport. The report will provide a separate assessment for the mine entry (entries) referred to inthis report. It will give details based on information in the Coal Authority's possession, togetherwith an opinion on the likelihood of mining subsidence damage arising from ground movement asa consequence of the existence of the mine entry/entries. It will also give details of the remediesavailable for subsidence damage where the mine entry was sunk in connection with coal mining.Please note that it may not be possible to produce a report if the main building to the propertycannot be identified from Coal Authority plans (ie. for development sites and new build).For further advice on how to order this additional information visit www.groundstability.com ortelephone 0345 7626 848.

Comments on Coal Authority informationThe attached plan shows the approximate location of the disused mine entry/entries referred to inthis report. For reasons of clarity, mine entry symbols may not be drawn to the same scale as theplan.Property owners have the benefit of statutory protection (under the Coal Mining Subsidence act1991*). This contains provision for the making good, to the reasonable satisfaction of the owner,of physical damage from disused coal mine workings including disused coal mine entries. Aleaflet setting out the rights and the obligations of either the Coal Authority or other responsiblepersons under the 1991 Act can be obtained by telephoning 0345 762 6848 or online atwww.coal.decc.gov.uk/en/coal/cms/services/claims.If you wish to discuss the relevance of any of the information contained in this report you shouldseek the advice of a qualified mining engineer or surveyor. If you or your adviser wish to examinethe source plans from which the information has been taken these are normally available at ourMansfield office, free of charge, by prior appointment, telephone 01623 637235. Should you oryour adviser wish to carry out any physical investigations that may enter, disturb or interfere withany disused mine entry the prior permission of the owner must be sought. For coal mine entriesthe owner will normally be the Coal Authority.The Coal Authority, regardless of responsibility and in conjunction with other public bodies,provide an emergency call out facility in coalfield areas to assess the public safety implications ofmining features (including disused mine entries). Our emergency telephone number at all times is01623 646333.*Note, this Act does not apply where coal was worked or gotten by virtue of the grant of a gale inthe Forest of Dean, or any other part of the Hundred of St. Briavels in the county of Gloucester.

In view of the mining circumstances a prudent developer would seek appropriate technical advicebefore any works are undertaken.Therefore if development proposals are being considered, technical advice relating to both theinvestigation of coal and former coal mines and their treatment should be obtained beforebeginning work on site. All proposals should apply good engineering practice developed formining areas. No development should be undertaken that intersects, disturbs or interferes withany coal or mines of coal without the permission of the Coal Authority. Developers should beaware that the investigation of coal seams/former mines of coal may have the potential togenerate and/or displace underground gases and these risks both under and adjacent to thedevelopment should be fully considered in developing any proposals. The need for effectivemeasures to prevent gases entering into public properties either during investigation or afterdevelopment also needs to be assessed and properly addressed. This is necessary due to thepublic safety implications of any development in these circumstances.

Information from the Cheshire Brine Subsidence Compensation BoardThe property lies outside the Cheshire Brine Compensation District.
