<p>When dealing with land that may be affected by contamination, the planning system
works alongside a number of other regimes including the contaminated land regime under
Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. We have underlined in national planning
policy and guidance that the implications of contamination for a new development should
be considered by the local planning authority to the extent that it is not addressed
by other regimes. Planning decisions should ensure that a site is suitable for its
new use taking account of arising from previous uses and any proposals for land remediation.</p>
