)Where remedial measures are necessary, they should be managed with Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in mind. Encapsulation of any contaminants should be made on a risk-based assessment so that they are unlikely to be subject to future release to the environment.
All ground investigations shall be risk based and have regard to BS10175:2001 Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites Code of Practice and Environment Agency/NHBC R&D Publication 66 Guidance for the Safe Development of Housing on Land Affected by Contamination.
The applicant should adhere to CLR11: The Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, which has been developed to provide the technical framework for applying a risk management process when dealing with land affected by contamination.
The applicants/agent's consulting engineers shall certify that decontamination and remediation of the site has been undertaken in accordance with any measures approved by the District Planning Authority.
The applicant shall advise the District Planning Authority of commencement of the works.
The applicant should also me made aware that the ownership of land shown to be contaminated may accrue legal and financial liabilities under Part IIA of the Environment Protection Act 1990. Such liabilities are maximised when 'pollutant linkages' engender 'pathways' for the contaminants to reach 'receptors'.
South Bedfordshire District Council has published its Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy in line with the Environmental Protection Act 1990: Part IIA and its definition thereof. No land within the district has yet been formally designated as being 'contaminated'. However, it should not be taken to imply that the property or adjoining land is free from contamination.

)The applicant is advised to consider the following water conservation matters:
Grey Water and Rainwater Recycling
Rainwater and grey water recycling is becoming increasingly popular. It can reduce household water use by up to 30%. A number of systems are available which collect, treat and store rain or grey water for toilet flushing or garden/outside watering.
Water Conservation Household Use
Water is one of our most precious natural resources, and we are keen to ensure it is used wisely:
water use for toilet flushing can represent 35% of all household use. The applicant should consider installing low (six litres or less) or dual flush toilets;
10% of household water use comes through wash hand basin taps. The installation of water-efficient taps such as spray taps can reduce consumption from this source by up to a half; and
a shower uses less than half the water used for a bath. Power showers on the other hand can use as much water as a bath in just five minutes. Shower units using a maximum of 9 litres of water a minute should be fitted.
Water Conservation in Gardens
As much as 30% of domestic water consumption in the summer can be used on the garden. To encourage sensible use of water in the garden, we recommend installation of the following in all new property(ies):
a water butt linked to a downpipe;
provision of a thick layer of good quality top soil; and
if the garden is to be planted, use of drought-tolerant turf and plants.
If a hose-pipe is to be provided in the new property(ies), a trigger nozzle should be fitted to prevent wastage of water. Low-water irrigation systems may also be appropriate provided that information on their sensible use is provided to the home-owner.
Water Conservation Domestic Appliances
If domestic appliances are to be provide in the new property, we ask the applicant to consider installing water and energy efficient models. Most products such as washing machine and dishwashers are now advertised with energy and water use information.
