Contaminated Land

The Council's contaminated land strategy provides information about how contaminated land is dealt with within Cannock Chase District.

Contaminated Land Investigations

In order to comply with our duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to investigate whether land is contaminated or not, the Council has undertaken soil investigations at 13 priority sites.  The results of those investigations can be found below.

  • Data about pollution incidents known to the Council.

  • Potential contaminative land use of the surrounding area within a 250m radius.

  • Any other available/relevant information.

The amount of information we will be able to provide will depend on the site and the information available to us.
