Contamination risk was closed out without a site investigation.
Cleared at desk study
No remediation was required for the new homes.
No clean-up needed
01
The uncertainty
The project team needed to know whether the planning proposals introduced a material contaminated land risk, and whether additional intrusive environmental investigation would be required.
02
What we established
No further works were required in relation to contaminated land, and no remediation was considered necessary for the proposed residential reconfiguration.
03
What changed
The team progressed without commissioning an additional contamination-focused Phase 2, with geotechnical design handled separately: a proportionate planning route based on the actual site risk.
04
What was avoided
An additional contamination-focused Phase 2 investigation, and any remediation.
05
How we got there
- Reviewed site history, environmental setting and planning information
- Site walkover
- Reviewed previous third-party ground investigation information
- Developed a preliminary conceptual site model and contaminant linkages for residential use
