INFORMATIVE
The
contaminated land record shows that the land is partly located on a
former contaminated land use i.e. Ex-Ackwell Simmonds Yard and
Smithy as well as been on a radon affected area where 3 - 5% of
homes are above the action level. There is a possibility that this
activity may have affected the application site with potentially
contaminated material. Therefore, the developer is advised to keep
a watching brief during ground works for any potentially
contaminated material especially where the proposed development
area has not been previously remediated. Should any such material
be encountered, then the Council must be informed without delay,
advised of the situation and an appropriate course of action
agreed.
