I prefer the Elephant Test, over the Duck test. And please note the Friday reference - Friday is well known for JiscMail light-hearted posts.
"adequate site investigation information, prepared by a competent person, is presented."
"Competent person (to prepare site investigation information): A person with a recognised relevant qualification, sufficient experience in dealing with the type(s) of pollution or land instability, and membership of a relevant professional organisation."
I'm happy for LA to have this grey area and for them to decide as they see fit. The NPPF shouldn't really need to be any more prescriptive than it is.
