Contaminated Land -
In addition to comments for P10 and P14, EA also recommend the following is added in relation to contamination (under either P10 or P12) explaining where developers should look for information to support their application, as there appears to be very little in the way of supporting text in terms of this subject.
‘The Environment Agency have set out a framework for our regulation and management of groundwater resource in the ‘The Environment Agency’s approach to groundwater protection’ document In this they describe their aims and objectives for groundwater, their technical approach to its management and protection, the tools they use and the policies and approach to the application of legislation. Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) guidance also provides guidance on how to manage these risks.
