The following information will need to be contained within a Dust Monitoring Plan; 1.The identified monitoring locations (including rationale) and number of monitors; 2.The monitoring equipment specification / chosen monitor; 3.Wind rose and weather condition details, including an anemometer to measure local wind conditions; 4.Details of passive supplementary monitoring (if appropriate); 5.Details of the maintenance, calibration and QA/QC procedures in place to ensure monitoring accuracy; 6.It can be agreed that the recommended site threshold for concentration of PM10 Alert Level is 150 æg/m-3 as a 15-minute mean is adopted. If the Alert Level of 150 æg/m-3 is reached in two consecutive 15 minute runs, the dust generating activity will stop and action will be taken to rectify the source of pollution immediately; 7.All air quality monitoring data will be required to be collected from the air quality monitors for the duration of the deconstruction and demolition works and will be issued to RBKC electronically. The logs should include details of the inspection of the site boundaries and include the following information; Date, Time, Location (on-site and off-site), Observation of site conditions, Remedial Measures undertaken, where this is required; 8.Detail relating to the technical specification of the monitoring regime will need to be provided, it is expected that it will hold an independent verification of performance, such as the Environment Agency's MCERTS scheme; 9.Details of procedures for instrument malfunction. The report should be supplemented with a procedure to ensure that continuous air quality monitoring is maintained in the event of an instrument breakdown; 10.Detail relating to the technical specification of the monitoring regime will need to be provided, it is expected that it will hold an independent verification of performance, such as the Environment Agency's MCERTS scheme; 11.Details of procedures for instrument malfunction. The report should be supplemented with a procedure to ensure that continuous air quality monitoring is maintained in the event of an instrument breakdown; and 12.RBKC is to be supplied with remote log in details to real time monitoring equipment and have the capability to download / view monitoring data. The monthly summaries will include mean concentrations, alert level exceedences and data capture rates for each month assuming continuous operation and will provide explanations for any exceedances and data loss. Any photographic records taken will be kept, recorded and maintained alongside monitoring records

The Fire Statement does not include a declaration that Development agreements, development briefs and procurement processes should be explicit about incorporating and requiring the highest standards of fire safety. The statement also refers to a 'Fire Strategy. However, the Fire Statement should be a standalone document. Whilst the level of detail needed for the Fire statement is generally suitable, there are a number of elements discussed below which should be expanded and revised. Fire Curtains are proposed to be located across the main doors leading to the main stairway (3.2 Para 5). The guidance on the use of active fire curtain barrier (BS 8524-2) however suggests that such products should not be used for occupation greater than 60 persons. In this instance the occupation would exceed this amount. An alternative could be to use fire doors on magnetic door holder's to achieve the same effect. Lobby protection is not provided to the final exit corridors at ground floor level to stairs T2 and T3, as the building is over 18m. This should be lobbied, and the door should swing with the direction of exit. The occupancy of the building would exceed the capacity permitted by the exit widths taking into consideration the proposed door widths on various escape routes. The 15% reduction mentioned in BS 9999 is only suitable where a clear benefit resulting from the addition of an automatic fire detection and fire alarm system is demonstrated and is appropriate to the circumstances. It is not clear from the Fire statement how a fire warning system would provide a clear benefit to permit exit width reductions. Direct travel distances are a configuration element that are an important consideration of policy D12. The potential distances appear to be excessive particularly from the west side of the building. In addition: Travel distances should be noted Direct distances should be taken to the storey exit Care should be taken that travel distances and direct distances are not regarded as the same. For building having no fixed internal layout Direct distances should be used. BS 9999 refers to these as 'Direct travel distances' and 'Actual travel distances' The use of fire fighting lifts to double up as evacuations lift would not be suitable under policy D5 of the London Plan. The evacuation lifts should be separate from fire fighting lifts. The GLA London Planning Policy document states ' B1. Evacuation lifts should be not misinterpreted as firefighting lifts. Applicants must not make provision for the installation of a firefighting lift where an evacuation lift is required by London Plan Policy D5(B5).' The Fire statement section relating to external fire spread only describes 'wall and ceiling linings'. The statement should describe the standard of the proposed external wall classifications. The applicant should note that BS 9999 is now out of sync with current guidance and it is recommend following Approved Document B Vol 2 in particular sections 12.4 and 12.6. Care should be taken to ensure not just the surface for external walls in non-residential buildings are considered. The proximity to the boundary would also influence materials on external walls.

The following amendments are required to the final CTMP. The CTMP must be prepared using the latest versions of the RBKC pro-forma. This has been available on the website since April 2019 and may be found here: https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/parking-transport-and-streets/your-streets/roads-and-pavements/managing-construction-traffic/ctmp Q7 - The applicant must confirm consultation has taken place on the CTMP proposals and list those properties consulted. This is a requirement Q8 - The routing is acceptable. Any proposed alterations to highway infrastructure will need to be discussed and agreed with the RBKC Highways Network Management team All drawings must be full sized, properly scaled and at full resolution. They should show the context of the surrounding street. Whilst Pelham Street is not a classified road, it is an important distributor road and bus route. These should be appended to the document and not inserted into the pro-forma at these positions Q19 - Far greater detail is required here. It is not acceptable to simply refer to outside documents. A CTMP is expected to be a standalone document Q20 - Details of these arrangements are required Q22 - Greater detail is required for the pedestrian protection measures Q25 - Far greater detail is required for the closure of the northern footway. A separate drawing showing the appropriate Ch-8 signage and barriers are required, as well as details of safe crossing points for pedestrians
