I understand you wanted these documents as attached pdfs rather than accessible via a link but unfortunately due to the size of the last document, I have had to split the document in two which I will send across on two emails. Please find attached part one which contains pages 1-98 of 294 pages

I have also uploaded all of the documents including the earthwork inspection 0440 before it was split to the following link:
