Following on from the Planning Inspectorate Appeal Decisions thread, where Section C1 of the building regs was brought up, thought it would be useful to provide a link to the whole document so it didn't get lost in the original thread:

We have dealt with number of occasions where a planning authority failed to include land contamination conditions, saw this as an oversight, but then dealt with it via Section C1.
As Mike Smith rightly pointed out, Section C1 should be as effective/powerful as planning condition(s) to address human health & BBM&S risk issues on a development.
