Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012
Representation ID: 3255
Received: 24/04/2012
Representation Summary:
We support the inclusion of a policy to address potential contamination as it will help to protect water quality from potential contamination. This will help to ensure that Water Framework Directive objectives are met and in particular groundwater bodies are protected and improved.
We would however recommend having two separate policies and therefore support Option 2. Land stability and land contamination are discrete and separate issues and have separate technical guidance, standards and assessment methodologies. Separating the issues in to two policies should help development management and developers in clarifying assessment needs.
