5.2 Summary of Surrounding Land Use (continued)<br />

Proposed Store Development, Wallneuk Road, Paisley - 9692<br />

Complete pollutant linkages may exist in which there are plausible pollutant<br />

source(s), viable pathway(s) and human or environmental receptors which<br />

may be affected.<br />

These are addressed in section 8.<br />

6.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT<br />

At the time of writing, and from the available development proposal plan, it<br />

understood that the current disused warehousing buildings and indoor bowling<br />

facilities will be demolished to facilitate construction of a new retail store on<br />

the western boundary. This is likely to comprise a two story steel portal framed<br />

building with double height entrance foyer and raised car parking areas.<br />

Additional at grade car parking is to be provided to the north and south of the<br />

retail store with additional long stay parking to east. A service yard and<br />

recycling area are to be located in the central portion of the site. A petrol filling<br />

station (PFS) with Kiosk and car washing facility are to be situated in the<br />

southwest corner of the site. New retaining walls are to be incorporated along<br />

the west, north and part of the eastern boundaries.<br />

A new roundabout access is to be formed from Renfrew Road. The<br />

accompanying risk assessment and suitability for use of the site are based on<br />

a commercial/industrial end use.<br />

A development plan is included as (Appendix 4).<br />

Comments made in this report relate only to this type of development.<br />

7.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING<br />

The underlying geology has been assessed with regard to BGS 10 Coal<br />

Authority 11 and Mineral Stability Report 12 data obtained for the site. Referral to<br />

published geological and hydrogeological maps has also been made. Where<br />

appropriate these are included as (Appendix 5).<br />

7.1 Made Ground<br />

The BGS report indicates that deposits of made ground several metres thick<br />

are likely to be mantling the natural deposits associated with former<br />

development. The site is presently laid as tarmac surfacing and building<br />

foundations and has been most likely infilled during development.<br />
