Dear all,
I have a query that someone might of come across in there authority and was
hoping for some help.....
We have just adopted a constraint map for planning consultations and are
getting applications for single storey extensions/garages etc on houses that
are built on potentially contaminated land. These houses have had no
contaminated land investigations or remediation carried out on them, built pre
1960s and are on our Part IIa inspection list (too be investigtaed when we
have time, money and resources).
How can we put conditions on an application of this type without causing
alarm to everyone and making the householder spend huge amounts of money
on desk study/invest etc?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Emma Jones
