Contaminated Land
The client was redeveloping a former farm with housing. Previous works by Delta-Simons had identified localised hydrocarbon contamination which warranted remediation to mitigate risks to future residents and to the principal aquifer below the Site. The principal contractor for the redevelopment had appointed a specialist remediation subcontractor to deliver a solution primarily involving stabilisation (immobilisation of contamination). Following completion of the remediation works and with the development above slab level, weak record keeping and a bullish attitude to regulatory involvement had led to a potential breach of planning conditions and a risk of enforcement action.

Appledore Shipyard was considered to be of High Sensitivity from flood risk sources and therefore a Flood Risk Appraisal was subsequently commissioned to assess the flood risk from all sources (tidal, fluvial, surface water, groundwater and artificial sources) along with suitable mitigation measures to provide an informative report on the potential flood risk/liability to support the investment purchase of the Shipyard.
