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
