    Contaminated Land & Brownfield Risk Management

    Supporting safe, viable and commercially deliverable development across brownfield, regeneration and complex ground‑risk environments.

    Contaminated Land & Brownfield Risk Management
    Land Contamination Surveys

    Understanding Contaminated Land Risk for Planning and Development

    Contaminated land affects planning approval, development viability, construction programmes and long‑term liability. Whether you’re progressing a planning application, redeveloping brownfield land, managing commercial assets or delivering regeneration, contamination risk must be understood early and managed confidently.

    Arthian provides end‑to‑end contaminated‑land expertise – from early‑stage desk studies and intrusive investigation through to remediation strategy, regulator engagement and long‑term monitoring. Our multidisciplinary team support planning application assessments to deliver clear, commercially aligned advice.

    We work across the UK on residential, commercial, industrial, energy and regeneration projects, supporting architects, developers, contractors, legal teams and public‑sector organisations.

    Core Land Contamination Services

    Our technical services form the backbone of contaminated‑land assessment and remediation.

    • Phase 1 Desk Study- Early‑stage contamination risk assessment aligned with planning requirements and LCRM/CLR11.
    • Phase 2 Site Investigation -Intrusive investigation, sampling and monitoring to characterise contamination and inform remediation.
    • Remediation Strategy & Options Appraisal – Costed, commercially aligned remediation strategies that support viability and regulator approval.
    • Ground Gas Risk Assessment – Monitoring, modelling and mitigation design for brownfield and commercial development.
    • Asbestos in Soils – Identification, quantification and management of asbestos‑containing materials in soils.
    • Hydrocarbon Contamination – Assessment and remediation of hydrocarbon‑impacted soils and groundwater.
    • Groundwater Monitoring & Contamination Risk -Risk assessment, modelling and remediation of groundwater contamination.
    • LCRM Guidance – Regulator‑aligned contaminated‑land management following the Land Contamination Risk Management framework.

    How Arthian Coordinates Your Planning Application Surveys

    Planning applications in the UK must be supported by a package of surveys and reports that demonstrate the site is suitable for development and that any impacts can be appropriately mitigated. Local planning authorities rely on this evidence to validate an application, assess risk, and determine whether a proposal complies with national and local policy.
    The exact combination of surveys and reports required will depend on the site’s constraints, location, and development type. Common requirements include:
      • Arboricultural Surveys & Impact Assessments — identifying tree constraints, root protection areas, and mitigation.
      • Ecological Surveys & Protected Species Assessments — establishing habitat value, species presence, and required seasonal surveys.
      • Transport Reports — Transport Statements, Transport Assessments, access design, and parking justification.
      • Flood Risk & Drainage Reports — flood zone analysis, surface water management, and SuDS strategies.
      • Heritage & Archaeology Reports — assessing designated and non‑designated assets, setting, and archaeological potential.
      • Landscape & Visual Reports — evaluating landscape character, visual receptors, and design mitigation.

      Arthian’s planning team identifies the required surveys at project inception and coordinates their delivery so that each report aligns with the planning strategy and supports a robust, defensible submission.
