Historic landfill
Research
These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.
Answering them wil help us learn more about the Historic landfill consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Do we understand the lifecycle of a Historic landfill?
-
Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
-
Where will or should the data be used?
-
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
-
Who are the statutory consultees for Historic landfill?
The Environment Agency
-
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Historic landfill? How do we expect them to use Historic landfill?
-
What are the planning needs for this data?
Understanding the presence of historic landfill sites at the plan-making stage is important to understand the relevant mitigation required for the site to make it suitable and deliverable. The existence of historic landfill any less than 250m from a proposed development sites triggers a conversation to be had between the local planning authority and the Environment Agency. The extent of the conversation that would need to be had is something that we don't know.
