The majority (around 90 per cent) is remediated via the planning system as part of development and redevelopment.</p><p> </p><p>Some of the remaining land is cleaned up voluntarily by landowners.

Local authorities, and in the case of special sites[i], the Environment Agency, are the regulatory authorities under the Act for ensuring that land contamination that is posing an unacceptable risk is identified and cleaned up. The Act requires each local authority to have an inspection strategy in place to identify potentially contaminated land in their areas.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[i] Sites that have undergone a specific use as listed under section (2) of the Contaminated Land (England) Regulations 2006 are designated as special sites, and include sites that are affecting controlled waters or contain radioactive material.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 27/06/2017 11:25:55 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
