• Earthworks associated with the construction of foundations and other excavations

• Earthworks for terracing, levelling, landscaping.

• Stockpiles of soil and sand.

• Movement of machinery and vehicles on and off building sites.

• Soil disturbance and grass cover removal by site scraping, trenching and similar building activities.

Access to the allotment

• Limit access to the site by establishing a single stabilised entrance/exit.

• Lay a 100mm bed of blue metal gravel over the one entrance point to the allotment to prevent bogging and limit tracking of mud off-site during wet conditions.

• When building, preserve as much grassed area as possible.

• Tell sub-contractors and delivery drivers to only use the one stabilised entrance/exit point and not use the footpath area for access or storage of equipment and materials.

It may be necessary to provide temporary fencing along the front boundary.

Excavation

• Confine all cut and fill operations only to the areas of the allotment where it is required.

• Reinstate trenches as soon as possible, compact the back-fill and replace top soil.

• Do not strip and excavate the site until you are ready to begin building.
  
• Remove excess soil from the site.

Stockpiles

• Confine stockpiles to the subject allotment.

• Place buildilng materials at their final position and not on the roadway or footpath.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plans

In some instances it may be that Erosion and Sediment Control plans will be required.

Sediment control measures

Runoff and soil erosion controls are to be installed prior to work commencing on the site and the controls shall incorporate.

• diversion of uncontaminated upsite runoff around cleared and/or disturbed areas.

• sediment control fences at the downslope perimeter of the cleared and/or disturbed area to prevent unwanted sediment and other debris escaping from the land.

• maintenance of all erosion control measures at maximum operational capacity until the land is effectively rehabilitated.

• Protection of any kerb inlet pit located downstream of the site.

Note:

• Any roof drainage system is to be connected to the required discharged point at the building frame inspection stage.

• Any material spilled or deposited on the road reserve or in the gutter is to be removed immediately.

• Provide single stabilised access to site.

• Regularly maintain the installed sediment filters.
