Contaminated land (brownfield sites)

You can only get planning permission for redeveloping a brownfield site so long as the contamination is cleaned up.

You should get advice from an environmental consultant or a specialist lawyer before you buy or sell contaminated land.

Read GOV.UK guidance on:

• human health risk assessments

• managing and reducing land contamination

• the management of contaminated land and the Contaminated Land Exposure Assessment (CLEA)
