Contaminated land
Who decides if land is contaminated
Your local council or an environment agency will decide if your land is contaminated.
Your land could be investigated for a number of reasons, including when:
- land is sold, let, used or otherwise transferred
- land is proposed for development
- local councils inspect land in their area
- an application is made for an environmental permit or other licence
- land is polluted
Contact your local council if you believe your land is contaminated.
