I am not sure if you have had a reply to this from anyone. I can give you
some guidance on what happens:
Basically, £12 million per year was added to the totals for Standard
Spending Assessments (SSA) for English local authorities to reflect the
revenue implications of the implementation of the Contaminated Land Regime
in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
In future years the normal process of setting Revenue Support Grant (RSG)
for each year takes into account all of the burdens faced by local
authorities, and the contaminated land responsibilities will form a part of
those. The "usual" process is that the initial allocation stays in the
baseline for the SSA. Individual areas of responsibility are normally only
considered separately when they are subject to particular change - eg when
they are introduced or abolished.
Hope this helps.
