The contamination risk was low, so planning went ahead without a site investigation.
No further testing
01
The uncertainty
A rural development site needed a contaminated land assessment covering current, historical and surrounding land uses to support a residential planning application.
02
What we established
The risk of contamination was low.
03
What changed
No further investigation was recommended, supporting a smooth planning process.
04
What was avoided
Intrusive investigation that the evidence did not justify.
05
How we got there
- Reviewed historical mapping, environmental databases and regulatory records
- Site walkover
- Developed a preliminary conceptual site model
