                Preliminary drawings prepared by Contour Consulting Engineers (Ref. Plan No. 3225-SK01 & SKO2,
                Revision P1 dated 1 August 2022) indicate that the proposed driveway will be located in the north-western
                part of the site between an existing residence and shed. Provided sections indicate that the driveway will
                be created mostly by excavating up to about 1 m deep into the slope, with filling <0.5 m high required for
                the crossover, and edge batters to be formed at about 1V:4H. Text Figure 2 below shows the proposed
                driveway layout and some cross-sectional views.

                1.2     Method and Scope of Investigation
                As part of our slope stability assessment, a desk-top study was carried out comprising a review of
                published geological maps and slope stability studies.

                A walk-over survey was conducted to make an appraisal of the general condition of the site in regard to
                topography, drainage, vegetation cover, geology, erosion and condition of existing structures. The walk-
                over survey was carried out by an experienced geotechnical engineer from Tectonic on 15 February
                2023.

                The results of the desk-top study and walk-over survey are included in Section 2 below.
