Contaminated land remediation: How the Planning Inspectorate fits in
Free and open only to NCLOG members
How does the planning system contribute to the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated land? Join NCLOG for a session with Ian Radcliffe, Planning Inspector at the Planning Inspectorate, to explore the Inspectorate’s role in contaminated land remediation through the planning process.
Ian will discuss his experience of dealing with contaminated land issues in planning appeals, particularly in relation to the redevelopment of brownfield sites. He will share what CLOs need to know about the Planning Inspectorate.
This event is free and exclusively open to NCLOG members.
Our speaker

Prior to joining the Inspectorate in 2006, he was a Principal Environmental Health Officer at Corby Borough Council, having previously worked as an EHO at Leicester City Council and Stockport MBC. He currently trains new inspectors.
