Kay We have a standard planning condition No development approved by this permission shall be commenced until a desk study has been undertaken and agreed by the Local Planning Authority to investigate and produce an assessment of the risk of the potential for on-site contamination. If the desk study identifies potential contamination a detailed site investigation should be carried out to establish the degree and nature of the contamination and its potential to pollute the environment or cause harm to human health. If remediation measures are necessary they will be implemented in accordance with the assessment and to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure a safe form of development that poses no unacceptable risk of pollution to water resources or to human health. Hope that meets your requirements!

One application is for a single dwelling on what was originally a domestic garden and is across the road (approx 27m away) from land used for road haulage. The other app is to develop a meadow into a hall and recreational facilities and is adj to an old egg packing factory which amongst other things had its own sewage works. The other consideration here would be whether the meadow was cultivated and pesticides used, I suppose. I had thought that at least a desk top study should be carried out and depending on the outcome further investigations may be necessary, but I don't know if this would be compatible with planning protocol. So far we have gone for a full S.I. or not. Does anyone has a standard condition which requires a desk top study, but which also calls for further intrusive investigations if necessary. I would be most interested to hear other people's opinions. Thanks for everyone's input in advance.
