Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997
This Order sets out the regime for identifying and remediating contaminated land and within the context of 'proposed development' this regime is normally applied when contaminated land is identified at the planning stage. The planning authority in Northern Ireland operates in conjunction with DOE Northern Ireland Environment Agency (Contaminated Land Section) to apply a condition on the planning decision requiring a remediation strategy to be submitted by a suitably qualified person and for the strategy to be implemented and verified before development is permitted to commence.
