We have been commissioned to carry out an environmental assessment at a site at AB55 5PJ located at grid reference 343964, 845789. A red line boundary has been attached.
We are trying to establish whether there are any potential contamination issues in connection with the site or immediate surrounds and we would therefore be grateful for the following information:
1. Is the Council aware of any contamination issues or specific incidents in connection with the site or surrounds up to 250 m radius?
2. Has any area within 250 m of the site been identified under the Council’s Contaminated Land Strategy for further investigation under the provisions of Part IIA of the EPA 1990? If so, please provide further details, including your
predicted timescales for further action. If not, what is the likelihood of the site being identified in the future?
3. Are there any closed, licensed or unlicensed landfill sites within a 250 m radius of the site? If yes, what is their location (NGR) and what types of waste were deposited in them? Are there any known gassing issues? If any gas
spiking/monitoring has been carried out, could you please supply the results?
4. Is the Council aware of any environmental assessments or remedial activities having been undertaken at the site or surrounds up to 250 m radius?
5. Is the Council aware of any fuel/chemical storage infrastructure at the site or within 250 m? If so please provide details.
6. Is there any private drinking water supplies on your Local Authority Water Supply Register, within a 2 km radius of the site? If yes, what is the location (i.e. NGR) and the source of the abstraction and its purpose. We note three pumps within 250m of the site in an environmental database report.
7. Is there any other relevant information on land contamination that the Council hold for the site or surrounding area that may be relevant for an environmental assessment?

Reg 2 are supplies that are commercial (including private lets), or they supply more than 50 persons. Category B are non-commercial with less than 50 persons.
NOTE: The location data we hold for the private water supplies is not 100% accurate; eastings and northings can be out, but we are currently working on improving these using GPS surveys. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a figure on the accuracy and some sources may just be located in the general area of the property served.
The spreadsheet may contain multiple records for the same source reference, this may be where either multiple source abstractions points are located or there are other private water supply infrastructure located e.g. storage tanks. The location Type indicates the type: A or A1 etc = Source, B or B1 etc = supply infrastructure, U or U1 etc = unused supply infrastructure. Sites marked with "Y" confirmed are for sites where we have visited site and obtained more accurate locations. The list does not include historic private water supplies. The data is provided based on the best information available to the council at the time of writing.
Further private water supply information can be obtained from the link below, along with access to our register of sources.
