Additional Information on Contaminated Land Conditions

CLS1 - "A desk based survey to determine whether the site is contaminated shall be undertaken, submitted to and approved in writing by the Council. Prior to any physical site investigation being undertaken to determine whether the site is contaminated a methodology for the survey shall be first agreed with the Council. The physical site investigation shall include an assessment to identify the extent and type of any contamination and where necessary a programme of remedial measures to avoid risk to the public/buildings/environment when the site is developed. Any remedial measures approved in the survey and where requested by the Council in a remediation statement shall be implemented prior to the commencement of the development or as otherwise prescribed in the approved implementation programme. Upon completion of the approved remedial measures a site completion report will be provided to the satisfaction of the Council including conclusive evidence that remedial measures have been implemented and the site is suitable for its intended use. The discharge of this planning condition will be given in writing by the Council on completion of the development and once all information specified within this condition and other requested information have been provided to the satisfaction of the Council. Any additional or unforeseen contamination encountered during the development of the site shall be notified to the Council as soon as is practicable. Subsequently a scheme to deal with this contamination shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Council and shall be undertaken to the satisfaction of the Council. The applicant/developer is requested to contact the Council’s Environmental Protection Unit (Tel: 0161 342 2691) as soon as is practicable should contamination be encountered during the development of the site. A guide to what a survey and remediation scheme should include is provided in the attached Guidance Note on Contaminated Land."
