I think this is another of the belters the Scottish Exec have managed to
install in the regime for no other reason than to be different. From what I
can gather (but might be wrong)once you have identified CL and the formal
ball starts rolling the only thing that is going to be of any comfort to the
land owner will be some statement (in the register) to confirm the
remediation has taken place.
This is a massive disincentive for LA's to start the formal ball rolling,
i.e. once you identify CL, appropriate persons/site owners may feel it to be
in their interest to force further formal action than undertake voluntary
remediation.
The only way out of this that I can see is to get voluntary remediation
before identification takes place.
I hope I'm wrong

Can anyone tell me how they are dealing with"write off" procedures.
There is no provision for the write off of sites in Scotland. Where a site
has ben remediated to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority and is no
longer contaminated undet Part IIA in it's current use, what measures can we
take to reassure developers and remove the concern of blight?
Many thanks
