Minutes:

Cabinet considered the proposed strategy that was aimed at fulfilling the Council’s statutory obligations, particularly in relation to Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Act placed a statutory duty on local authorities to identify land which posed an unacceptable risk to human health or other named receptors. The revised Contaminated Land Strategy had to reflect current best practice and provide a framework for prioritisation of potential sites of concern. It would also be used for conducting commercial research upon request.

 

Whilst this strategy was a statutory requirement under this Act, it was also linked to Thanet District Council’s Planning Policies and Corporate Priorities. The strategy was reviewed in line with changes to legislation, guidance and budget restrictions.

 

Councillor Campbell spoke under Council Procedure Rule 20.1.

 

Councillor Game proposed, Councillor Savage seconded and approved the Contaminated Land Strategy 2018-2023.
