This guidance sets out what to include in your site plans and maps.

Plan 1 � activities at the site

Plan 1 is the site specific plan (or plans) of activities at the site. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappse must include a site-specific plan or plans drawn to a scale that is large enough to clearly identify activities, buildings, working areas, plant and equipment that are critical to the safe operation of the site.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp Environment Agency will expect, as a minimum, the following to be shown on Plan 1:

• the layout of buildings, bays, skips and yard areas
• the storage areas for undepolluted end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and number of ELVs stored in each area
• the depollution area
• the dismantling area (if different from the depollution area)
• the storage area for depolluted ELVs and ELV shells and number of ELVs stored in this area
• the storage area for parts and parts testing
• the battery storage area (showing where each type of battery chemistry is stored)
• the tyre storage area
• any areas where hazardous and flammable materials are stored on site (location of gas cylinders, oil and fuel tanks, any other combustible liquid storage areas, welding and cutting gas storage)
• any areas where you are carrying out cutting, grinding, welding and so on
• all possible ignition sources on your site, for example heaters, cutting and welding areas, shrink wrap areas for parts (if heat guns are used)
• the location of fixed plant or where mobile plant is stored when not in use
• location of fire extinguishers, other firefighting measures, fire hydrants and other water supplies
• main access routes for fire engines and any alternative access and any access points around the site perimeter to assist fire fighting

Plan 2 � drainage and pollution control

Plan 2 is the site specific plan (or plans) of drainage and pollution control at the site. It must include a site-specific plan or plans drawn to a scale that is large enough to clearly identify all aspects of drainage and pollution control at the site.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp Environment Agency will expect, as a minimum, the following to be shown on Plan 2:

• the drainage runs, manholes and soakaways on the site and where they drain to
• any sealed sumps and interceptors (including the capacity)
• areas of impermeable surface and areas of hardstanding
• pollution control features such as penstocks and drain closure valves on interceptors and drainage systems
• areas where firewater can be contained for example bunded or kerbed areas
• dry ditches and watercourses that may be impacted by firewater run-off
• location of any discharges to foul sewer
• location of any soakaways on site and the areas they drain â€� for example, roof water soakaways
• the surface water drains on your site and any adjacent to the site
• the location any pollution control kit (for example deployable booms, sand bags, mats or covers to seal drains and any other kit you will use to contain firewater)

Plan 3 � sensitive receptors near the site

Plan 3 is the site specific plan of sensitive receptors within a 1km radius of the site. It must include a site-specific plan or plans drawn to a scale that is large enough to clearly identify all sensitive receptors located within a 1km radius of the site that could be affected by a fire.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp Environment Agency will expect, as a minimum, the following to be shown on Plan 3:

• the site location
• a compass rose showing north and the prevailing wind direction
• schools, hospitals, nursing and care homes, residential, industrial and commercial areas
• roads, railways, bus stations, other public transport centres, pylons (on or immediately adjacent to the site), utilities, airports
• ground water source protection zones

• protected habitats including:

  • National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
