These relate to environmental risks that may have liability implications, affect insurance premiums, property values and/or a lender's willingness to lend. You can view the fully comprehensive library of information we have searched on page 63. Contaminated Land Groundsure has not identified any significant contaminated land issues at the site. As the site is to be redeveloped a Phase 1 Risk Assessment may be required, particularly if the redevelopment is for a highly sensitive end use (i.e. residential purposes). It is worth confirming this with the Planning Department at the Local Authority and if a Phase 1 assessment is necessary, we can undertake this work for you. For a quote, please contact Groundsure at [email protected]. This quotation would include a discount to reflect the data in the report already undertaken for the study area. As a guide, a standard Phase 1 assessment is priced at around £1245 + VAT including disbursements. Flood Risk National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) A site-specific flood risk assessment should be provided for all development in Flood Zones 2 and 3. In Flood Zone 1, an assessment should accompany all proposals involving: sites of 1 hectare or more; land which has been identified by the Environment Agency as having critical drainage problems; land identified in a strategic flood risk assessment as being at increased flood risk in future; or land that may be subject to other sources of flooding, where its development would introduce a more vulnerable use. The NPPF states that the flood risk assessment should identify and assess the risks of all forms of flooding to and from the development and demonstrate how these flood risks will be managed so that the development remains safe throughout its lifetime, taking climate change into account. Those proposing developments should take advice from the emergency services when producing an evacuation plan for the development as part of the flood risk assessment.
