Subject: Re: New HPA Radon AtlasFabia,This has also caused us problems and we are currently trying to work a solution. In the meantime, we are replying to CON29 searches by stating we cannot accurately answer this question at the present time, but they can come and view the Indicative Atlas if they wish. It's unfortunate (although probably intentional) that the map provided by the BGS isn't at a scale where you can work out which areas are affected and which aren't. Like you however, the areas "affected" have significantly increased.As for the digital data, the problem I see is that the charge is per seat, therefore you have to pay a very high price if you want more than 1 or 2 officers to have access. Try get your Land Charges Department to pay for it I'd say!Regards,Alex BrownContaminated Land Officer-----Original Message-----

Subject: New HPA Radon AtlasI'm interested to know how many CL Officers also deal with Radon enquiries. Have you received the new Indicative Atlas of Radon in England and Wales? Our area in West Norfolk has increased. This is likely to mean that properties previously not considered in radon affected areas are now included.We have approached the BGS who provide the dataset digitally and will have to pay an annual fee for this data. This appears to be the only way we can get an accurate dataset. Residents enquiring about their home can go to www.ukradon.org to carry out an individual property search for a fee of £3.53.Will this have implications for the CON29 question on radon affected areas? We will have to pay to use the data, residents will pay for their local land charges search and may also pay for the ukradon search too.Best regardsFabia Pollard
