Question and Answer on Infrastructure
Name: rob robs
Assignment title: Infrastructure
Set & assessed by: Rowland Summerlin

A housing developer is considering building 30 new houses on the outskirts of a local town.

Task 1 P7: Explain the implications of environmental issues and legislative constraints on this type of construction development.

Implications of environmental issues:

Endangered animals: As the site will need an inspection to look for any animals that could be living near or around the building site. As the building site could destroy or harm endangered animals and could wipe out an entire species that could have devastating affects on the food chain and kill off the human race as we know it. Also it's important to keep every species of animal as in the future there could be a disease that would wipe out half the human race and the only cure is in or on the animal that died because someone wanted to build 30 houses.

Water pollution: The water pollution that will be caused by the building site before and after when it is done could harm the environment if it is not correctly disposed of correctly as if the cement or concrete that is being used on the building it could affect the public as it could slip into the stream and a pipe for tap water for the next village or town and if the cement goes into the stream and the stream goes into the pipe by accident it could maybe wipe out an entire village or town, and I doubt they would be too happy about dying. The key legislation for water abstraction and public use is the Water Resources Act 1991, the Water Industry Act 1991 and the Water Act 2003. Under the Water Act 2003, water companies are required to provide statutory water resource management plans. These look ahead 25 years and plan to meet projected future demand.

Pollution: The pollution coursed when the buildings are being built and when the buildings have been built and when people live in them need to be taken into consideration as the amount of pollution that

    The 3 main factors of comfort disturbance are Reduce, control, alternate. The contractor will have to reduce the amount of trucks and lorries coming into the community because it will cause noise pollution. They will be banned from having deliveries before 8 30 and after 5 30 to reduce the amount of noise pollution. There will also be lots of traffic in the area due to deliveries being made and workers trying to get to the construction site. To reduce the amount of traffic, deliveries will be only allowed into the town one way and out the other to reduce pollution and traffic congestion. If this is not stuck to then there will be lots of complaints about the project damaging the environment as this is considered to be very important and it will keep the community unhappy and against the project. Another way it will affect the local environment is that the wildlife in the area will be badly affected. The pond will be in place whilst the construction is under way so the water will have to be tested regularly to see if it is too acidic and if so then it will kill the wildlife in the pond. Their habitats will be destroyed and they will have to be relocated such as foxes and birds. The trees around the edge of the site will be cut down so birds habitats will be destroyed, but once the project is being built more trees will be planted than there were cut down so it absorbs…

    Construction sites are found both within urban and rural areas, often in the close proximity of homes. Due to their proximity to homes and the materials used, construction sites may generate home pollution. This involves air, water, soil, and/or noise pollution. Additionally, construction work may reveal existing subsurface pollution. In such situation, construction work is stopped and costly remediation is needed. Thus, construction work may generate construction pollution problems affecting both home owners and construction site owners. Moreover, construction workers (especially in the past) may be exposed to pollution. These aspects will be discussed in more details below, along with tips and measures to prevent and face pollution, as well as to recover the costs.…
