| We hold a significant amount of information on ground
conditions within the borough, including information on land
quality. | |
Whilst we do not carry out a regulatory function with
respect to Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 -
Contaminated Land (England) Regulations 2005 (this is the function
of the
Environmental Health Unit), we are able to
provide information on land quality both to departments within the
council and to the general public.
If you believe the issue of land quality affects a planning
application or building regulation that you intend to submit, or if
you have been asked to look into the issue as a condition of an
application that you have made, we can provide you with
advice.
We have produced some
Land Quality Guidance Notes (pdf) for those
asked or intending to carry out land quality site
investigations.
We can also provide information and advice on land quality to
land and house sellers and purchasers, estate agents and
solicitors.
Any requests for information on land quality affecting planning
application plots or house and land conveyancing are covered by the
Environmental Information Regulations 2000. Under these
regulations, the Council is allowed to charge for officer time
taken to research and respond to enquiries. We have determined that
£50 per hour of officer time taken is an appropriate charge.
