• Preparing a fire plan, including the storage of fuel, rags and brushes securely and at a sufficientdistance from theGrade II Listed Metropolitan Tabernacle;• Regular clearancee of obstructions from drainage systems, including guttering; ; and• Regular vibration monitoring7.7 EcologyAll construction works will be carefully controlled in terms of their potential environmental effectsthrough implementation of this CMP and an Environmental <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> ass agreed withallrelevantstatutory bodies (<strong>Southwark</strong> <strong>Council</strong>, Environmental Agencyy (EA) and Natural England).Procedures to minimise risk of pollution incidents relating to machinery or building materialss will be asagreed with the Environmental Assessor andd facilities installed for rapid appropriate response to anyaccidental spillages.7.7.1Protected Species ‐ BatsFollowing an ecologysurvey of the existing Site and building inspection it was concluded thatt there wereno suitable bat roosting featuress observed, no enclosed loft spaces were w presentt and no physicalevidencee of bats were recorded. As such, even with the obvious accessibility intoo the swimming poolbuilding it is considered to be of negligible value to roosting bats.7.7.2Protected Species ‐ BirdsA large number of Feral Pigeons (Columba livia) were observed within and surrounding the building onSite withnumerous dead and decaying birds recorded. No other birds were observed on the Site. TheSite is considered of negligible potential for Black Redstarts due to the limited foraging areas, combinedwith thelack of nesting potential for this species on the Site. However the trees, and plantedshrubsfound throughout the Site, may offer albeit limited suitable nesting and a foraging habitat to variouscommonbird species. These habitats are alsoo present to a larger extent in the surrounding areas such asSt Mary’ ’s Churchyard and therefore are assessed as being of value within w the boundary of the Site onlyto birds.Monitoring of bird breeding activity on Site will be continuous through an Ecological Watching Brief. Ifbirds arefound to bebreeding on or near thee Site, an appropriate Method Statement will be agreed inconsultation with Natural England. This will include measures to prevent any disturbance to breedingbirds, including the cessation of tree t and vegetation clearance or construction works in areass close tobreedingsites until the birds have completedd breeding, and monitoring the species during the activeconstruction period.7.8 Noise andVibration7.8.1 General ProvisionIn a project of this scale and nature, it is recognised that noise, vibration and dust could give rise to localdisturbance. These impacts are an inevitablee consequence of the HGV traffic, piling works and otherheavy construction activities. Site‐specific best practice measures, and the principles of ‘bestt practicablemeans’ (BPM), as defined in the Control of Pollution Act (CoPA) 19744 would therefore be implementedby contractors to minimise the disturbance to local residents and other potentially sensitive receptors.These measures would include:St Mary’s Residential Detailed <strong>Plan</strong>ning Application May 201226
