Castledine Environmental Supports Planning Applications with Expert Land Contamination Surveys

Castledine Environmental, a nationwide specialist in land contamination, continues to support planning applications with comprehensive Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports written in line with government standards and industry best practice.

When planning permission is sought on a brownfield site, planning authorities will often request a Phase 1 Desk Top Study. Also referred to as a Phase 1 Desk Study, Desktop Survey, Phase 1 Land Contamination Risk Assessment or Phase 1 Investigation, this initial assessment gathers information from multiple sources to carry out an Environmental Risk Assessment. Its purpose is to determine whether a site poses a potential risk to human health or the wider environment.

In many cases, the Phase 1 report concludes that contamination is unlikely and that no further action is necessary. However, if a credible risk is identified, the report will highlight potential contaminants of concern and recommend a Phase 2 Intrusive Investigation.

A Phase 2 Investigation involves on-site sampling and laboratory analysis to confirm the presence and levels of contaminants, ensuring that any risks are accurately understood and can be appropriately managed.

With extensive experience and a strong reputation, Castledine Environmental delivers clear, compliant and reliable reports that help clients meet planning conditions with confidence.
