Under Section 78(R) of Part IIA - Environmental Protection Act 1990 the Council has a duty to maintain a public register. The public register is intended to act as a full and permanent record, open for public inspection, of all regulatory action taken by the enforcing authority in respect of the remediation of contaminated land, and will include information about the condition of land.
Information to be included in the register:
- remediation notices
- site information: location, extent, address of the contaminated land
- remediation information: detail of person on whom the notice is served, what is to do by way of remediation
- site specific guidance issued by the Environment Agency
- remediation declarations, remediation statements and notifications of claimed remediation
- designation of sites as 'special sites'
- site-specific guidance issued by the Environment Agency where such guidance exists
- appeals against remediation notice and charging notices
- convictions for non compliance with notices
- statement regarding the existence of confidential information
Currently, the register does not contain any contaminated land entries (updated October 2009).
When contaminated land has been identified you will be able to view the register free of charge at East Hampshire Council Offices or you can request to the Environmental Health Department copies of documents. There will be a small charge for the documents to be reproduced and sent.
The register will also be made available to the public on line.
