Contaminated Land Register


What does the contaminated land strategy cover?

All councils have to draw up a contaminated land strategy so that we can:

• Inspect the areas to identify any contaminated land
• Assess whether "significant harm" or pollution of controlled waters has been, or is being, caused
• Establish responsibilities for remediation of the land and ensure that it takes place
• Collate records of contamination and remedial action that has already been taken
• Keep a public register detailing the regulatory action taken under the legislation.
