Phase 1 -
Desktop Study
A Phase 1 Desktop Study is
often required by local planning authorities, when applying for planning
permission. New build and change of use both require planning and
therefore a Phase 1 Desktop Study to be compiled.
|
A "Desktop Study" report outlines the
Site History, Geology and Hydrogeology, and any environmental
risk associated with that particular plot.
We put together this information in the
form of a report that can be submitted at the relevant time to
the local planning authority.
If you are buying land and are worried
about possible contamination (an old garage forecourt for
example) then it is wise to have an assessment carried out
before purchase.
Are you building on Contaminated Land? |
Other sites with dubious past histories /
possible contamination issues might include:
-Petrol Stations
-Farms
-Work Shops
-Coal Yards
-Factories
-Industrial Units
-Brewery
-Gas Works
-Timber Yards / Saw Mills
-Shops
-Restaurants |

If a Phase 1 / Desktop Study indicates that a site
may have had an industrial past your local authority may instruct you to
carry out a ground investigation program.For
discussion on an informal basis, or detailed written quotation feel free
to ring the office for a no-cost apprisal.
