Environmental information request
We can provide environmental information on a piece of land.
We offer two types of search:
- standard
- detailed
The fee for a standard search is £40. Detailed searches are priced individually.
When you request a search, you need to provide a site plan showing the extent of the site that you would like us to assess and the grid reference for the centre of the site.
Standard search
As part of a standard search, we will:
- indicate the locations of any existing or closed landfill sites on or within 250m of the land
- indicate the locations of any known pre-1974 closed landfill site on or within 250m of the land
- provide details of the type and depth of waste deposited in any landfill sites on or within 250m of the land
- provide details of any industrial 'Part A 'or 'Part B' processes permitted under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which are on or within 250 metres of the land
- provide details of any closed 'Part B' processes permitted under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which are on or within 250 metres of the land
- indicate whether the land is within a designated flood plain
- indicate whether there is an entry in the statutory register of contaminated land in relation to the land or land within 250 metres from the site
- provide details of the location of old petrol filling stations in the Borough
- provide details of any known pollution incident which may affect the land
- provide information on discharge consents relating to the land and land within 250 metres
Detailed search
We will provide more detailed information in the form of a written report.
Examples of the topics we would cover in this report include:
- the significance of the historic land use information found in the standard search
- risks the site poses based on the known historic use of the site and current use
- comment on the likely pollutants to be present on the land
- information of any desk studies, preliminary surveys, environmental monitoring, and intrusive investigations carried out on the land
- previous and present land use information from records held by the Local Planning Authority
