What is a contaminated land survey or report?
A Contamination Report, also known as a Contaminated Land Report (CLR) or Contaminated Land Survey, provides advice to landowners and developers as to whether there is, or is likely to be, any contamination on a site where development is proposed. Contamination can occur naturally, accumulate over time or be present due to a single event.
Most sites will have some contamination but, in most cases, the levels will not pose a risk. The purpose of the Contamination Report is to identify what contaminants are present and, given the proposed use for the site, whether they pose a risk to human health or the environment.
We want you to start on your project, so promote the best chances of development through our contamination surveys.
