Scope and Benefits of the CEMP

2.1 Purpose of the CEMP
The purpose of this document is to address the specific environmental requirements of the Local Planning Authority. Milton Keynes Partnerships (MKP) in order to discharge Condition 20 within 09/01185/MKPC and in compliance with PPS23 Planning and Pollution Control. This plan also identifies the specific requirements of statutory bodies such as the Environment Agency. This Plan sets out to inform site procedures to be adopted during the course of construction so as to cause minimum environmental disturbance and impacts to the site and surrounding areas. In this plan we will identify significant impacts which have the potential to damage the environment and demonstrate how we seek to control and mitigate such impacts where possible. Effective implementation of the plan will ensure environmental issues are fully managed and that legislative requirements are met or indeed exceeded during the construction phase. This CEMP will cover all works undertaken at the development by PNNH who will act as Principle Contractor. PNNH will prepare and include in this plan detailed method statements and plans for all activities which have the potential to cause environmental damage or nuisance.

Communications
3.1 Meetings
As noted in 1.3 above PNNH will hold monthly site meetings during the construction phase at which issues relating to the environmental design, mitigation and implementation of the provisions contained within this plan will be discussed. Minutes of the meetings will be distributed to all relevant parties and senior management. Reported failures will be discussed by PNNH senior management at their monthly Chairmans meetings.

3.2

Sub-contractors and Supply Chain

PNNH Commercial department will include this CEMP in all tender documentation highlighting the requirement for all service providers to fully comply with all relevant method statements, good practices and procedures.

Site inductions for individuals will include all relevant method statements, good practices and procedures. A monitoring report will be regularly updated and any signs of regular non conformance will be strictly controlled. Failure by individuals to fully comply with method statements, good practices and procedures will result in their exclusion from site. Where a monitoring report identifies failure a copy of that report will be forwarded to the relevant external management team requesting assurances of future compliance.
