About this tool: Land Contamination Assessment
Detailed land contamination assessment — historic land uses, source-pathway-receptor screening, and what investigation the LPA will expect.
Use for a fuller assessment when the Contamination screen flags risk, or when the site has known industrial or agricultural history.
