How Part IIA May Affect You

Any person, organisation or business may be liable to pay for the remediation of contaminated land if they caused or knowingly permitted the contaminating substances to be in, on or under the land or if they own or occupy contaminated land where no polluter can be found.

Cheshire East Contaminated Land Officers will endeavour to work in an open and transparent way. If the site that you own, occupy, work or live on or next to is to be inspected under Part IIA you may be notified ahead of the works and kept informed of the progress of the works.

Information may be supplied to you in the form of letters, open day and public meetings. This, however, will be decided on a site to site basis and will be dependant on the best way to address the majority of people affected.

Further information on contaminated land can also be found at the Environmental Protection UK website.

If you have concerns about the land you own, occupy, work or live on or next to, or you just want to speak to a Contaminated Land Officer please use the contact details opposite.
