Thank you to everyone who responded to my earlier post on the above
To summarise, the main issues with the inspectorate condition appear to be with addition burden of scoping review, the pre-commencement clause, the timing of remediation and lack of allowance for verification/validation.
Perhaps when the C4SL issue is considered, the DCLG can also look at whether planning inspectors have the level of experience and technical expertise to make land contamination related decisions? After all it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect inspectors to be able to compile and apply conditions in line with Circular 11/95?
Is our industry represented at Inspectorate level?
If not then I will be happy to provide evidence to support a case that it should be.
Kind regards and thanks again to all.
