As a result of the consultation carried out on the proposed National Quality Mark Scheme for Land Affected by Contamination (NQMS), it has come to the attention of the Land Forum that there is some misunderstanding about the proposed scheme particularly amongst local authority contaminated land officers and environmental health officers.
Local authority representatives who sit on the Land Forum have therefore produced a short briefing note explaining the main aims of the proposed scheme, its key features and has addressed some of the common concerns raised by local authority officers.
