Respondent: Environment Agency
Representation Summary:
We welcome the reference to mitigation measures being required in regards to contamination in policy DM18 - Amenity. Paragraph 9.18.11 specifically refers to contaminated land and states that development on contaminated land can expose people to a wide range of potential health risks. This sentence should be enhanced by stating that is can also mobilise contaminants and cause pollution of controlled waters.
