Environmental Contamination Specialists

As the population grows, there becomes more pressure to utilise potentially contaminated land for redevelopment for alternative uses. These range from smaller opportunity sites adjacent to contaminative sources through to previously occupied industrial sites (known as Brownfield sites).

These sites carry with them an inherent contamination risk associated with previous uses, illegal dumping or contamination from neighbouring sites etc. It is crucial that we understand the environmental condition of the land and the effect on future occupiers and their use of the land.

In practice, most of today's assessment and remediation of brownfield land is dealt with via the planning process either as part of the planning application or as a condition of the planning consent.
