Paragraph 9 Contaminated land and groundwaterI1
England, Wales and Scotland
With the exception of the bat mitigation structure forming part of numbered work 2E(g) of the authorised development which may commence, the remainder of numbered work 2 of the authorised development is not to commence until a written scheme applicable to that numbered work, to deal with the contamination of any land, including groundwater, which is likely to cause significant harm to persons, the environment or significant pollution of controlled waters has, after consultation with Natural Resources Wales been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority.
The scheme must include an investigation and assessment report, prepared by a specialist consultant approved by the relevant planning authority, to identify the extent of any contamination and the remedial measures to be taken to render the land fit for its intended purpose, together with a management plan which sets out long-term measures with respect to any contaminants remaining on the site.
Remediation must be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme.
