DM 15: Prevention and Remediation of Contaminated Land

Proposals for the redevelopment or re-use of land known or suspected to be contaminated and development or activities that pose a significant new risk of land contamination will be considered having regard to:

  • the findings of a preliminary land contamination risk assessment;
  • the compatibility of the intended use with the condition of the land; and
  • the environmental sensitivity of the site.

Proposals that fail to demonstrate that intended use would be compatible with the condition of the land or which fail to exploit appropriate opportunities for decontamination will be resisted.
