Contamination 'requirements' under PD

[Paul Kilbride]

Hello again

Can you please point me in the right direction to understand the detail or requirments regarding contamination on a site while using PD and wanting to satisfy the criteria? 

For example - if on a site has it has been identified that there's previously contaminated soil (leaks from old industrial tanks) and which there's a plan to remove both old empty tanks and the contaminated soil - will that trip up using PD for the coversion? Have I misunderstood completely? Many thanks for any quick pointers.

If prior approval is required for the permitted development, then often contamination will be taken into account if the planning officer decides based on the previous land use. 

Therefore a contamination report would be required.
