Just to throw more wood onto this slow burner, reading the latest CIRIA Asbestos report and in the section on planning, development control and EPA 1990 there is this:
"It is appropriate that the planning process adopt a more stringent standard for the levels of soil contamination than are relevant under Part 2A. This prevents developments being determined as ‘contaminated land’ in the future when, and if, acceptable exposures to contaminants change."
I can see the sense in this approach, but where do you stop?
