Development Requirements for Potentially Contaminated Land
Development proposals on potentially contaminated land must be supported by a site investigation and risk assessment demonstrating the site is suitable for the proposed use, and effective remediation measures must be agreed to ensure the site is made suitable and hazardous materials are properly disposed of or treated.
DM 52.1 The Council will only support development proposals on potentially contaminated land, where it can be demonstrated:
(a) Through a site investigation and risk assessment that the site is in a condition suitable for the proposed development and is not causing significant pollution of the environment; and
(b) Where necessary, effective remediation measures are agreed to ensure the site is made suitable for the new use and that appropriate disposal and/or treatment of any hazardous material takes place.
