1. I have received planning permission for my development and the Local Authority have applied a condition which asks for a Desk Study and Site Investigation to be provided. What should I do and how much does it cost? Will it have profound cost implications on my development?
2. I suspect my site is contaminated. I plan to develop the site, will I definitely need to undertake some remediation?
3. My site requires remediation. Is it costly and will it significantly alter my development timescales and impact profits?
4. I am only building a small extension to a private house, do contaminated planning conditions still apply?
5. The local planning authority have not applied any contaminated land conditions however NHBC require a Desk Study and Site Investigation in order to comply with their Contaminated Land Condition. What do I do?
