Minutes:

The Executive received a report which sought approval to undertake a technical consultation with key stakeholders on the Draft Contaminated Land Strategy.  It was noted that the Council was required to prepare, maintain and periodically review its Contaminated Land Strategy under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA).  The revised strategy was proposed to run from 2018 to 2023.  Following a question regarding statutory right of access, the Executive was informed that the Council did have a statutory right of access under Part IIA of the EPA.  Councillor Mrs Hunwicks, Portfolio Holder, advised that Officers would seek voluntary access in the first instance.  In cases where an initial investigation found no evidence of contamination, the Council would incur the cost of the investigation.  However, the Council would aim to recover all reasonable costs associated with required remediation.

RESOLVEd

That the Draft Contaminated Land Strategy, attached at Appendix B to the report, be approved for technical consultation.

 

Reason:   To ensure compliance with the Council’s obligations as set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and accompanying statutory guidance.
