We’re a team of qualified and certified contaminated land specialists, assisting architects, developers and planners across the entirety of the country to meet planning requirements and environmental obligations.
Whoever we choose to work on your planning project, you will receive a consistent service, including comprehensive advice and expertise for your development throughout every stage of the contaminated land survey process.
Contaminated Land Solutions
Instead of outsourcing to other companies, all of our services are provided in-house, including desk studies, research exercises, risk assessments, site investigations, remediation strategies and reporting for planning purposes.
Land Contamination Assessment
Every stage of land contamination assessments is covered by our team, including:
- Stage 1: Phase 1 Desk Study (Preliminary Risk Assessment)
- Stage 2: Phase 1 Site Investigation (Intrusive Investigation)
- Stage 3: Remediation Strategy (If Needed)
- Stage 4: Reporting
Contaminated Land Planning Guidelines
All of the services we provide are offered under the strict guidelines of relevant regulators, as well as the stipulations of local planning authorities and the laws that protect the environment and set parameters around how developments should be undertaken.
Contaminated Land Law
We ensure that everything we do falls within any applicable contaminated land legislation, including the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which plays such a key role that it is often referred to as the ‘Contaminated Land Act’.
Contaminated Land Regulations
Certain regulations enforced by local authorities are also important when it comes to guaranteeing that contaminated land has been dealt with correctly, such as:
- National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
- A2:2017
- BS 10175:20211
- CIRIA C552 – Contaminated Land Risk Assessment: A Guide to Good Practice
- Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) from the Environment Agency
Contaminated Land Guidance
Our team of contaminated land specialists has helped clients working on brownfield, commercial and residential sites with addressing problems caused by contaminants and securing planning permission from the local council.
The methods we’ve adapted over time have played a significant role in encouraging the continued success of developments all over the country. In the section below, we talk more about what makes our consultancy, consultants and advice impactful for developers.
Contaminated Land Consultancy
Within our consultancy is a combination of experts with specialisms in different areas of contaminated land and the effects contaminants can have on the success of planning projects. For years, clients have come to us to get their developments over the line, seeing us assist planning consultants, developers, landowners, architects and anyone else who needs our help.
As well as being able to cover every stage of the contaminated land survey process, we also put an emphasis on simplifying otherwise complicated and confusing concepts for our clients. That means that if you are an experienced developer or someone going through a project for the first time, we will remove any jargon and make dealing with contaminated land feel like a breeze.
Contaminated Land Consultants
All of the contaminated land consultants in our team are sufficiently educated, qualified, licensed and trained for conducting assessments for clients. In addition to that, they’ve been working for long enough to have experienced every possible obstacle caused by development site contaminants.
Through maintaining strong relationships with relevant regulators and attending training sessions and conferences held by corresponding organisations, our team are always at the forefront of the latest developments and new technologies. We always ensure that we are as advanced as possible in servicing clients.
