Planning Portal has partnered with the National Contaminated Land Officers Group (NCLOG) and the Environment Agency to provide new content around two crucial environmental planning considerations – land contamination and groundwater protection.
The guidance is intended to help planning professionals and applicants fully understand their responsibilities with regards to land contamination and groundwater protection and indicate where some developments may be objected to in principle.
The new content also includes information on how you can find competent persons to carry out any necessary work. The two updated pages are available here: land contamination and groundwater protection.
