The Environmental Screening includes the following:-

· A review of the historical Ordnance Survey maps;
· An outline of the underlying geology;
· An assessment of the vulnerability of surface and
. groundwater resources;
· An assessment of ground gas susceptibility;
· The proximity of current licensed waste management facilities.

A site inspection is also undertaken by ourselves in which the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Property Observation Checklist will be completed. This checklist now forms part of the professional guidance note 'Contamination and Envroironmental Matters:their implications for property professionals' published in December 2003.

The risk is categorised in accordance with the following risk assessment:-

(a) Where redevelopment is proposed:-

HIGH
Significant risk of contamination without remediation. Precludes all but the least sensitive of development, e.g. car parking. Significant potential for environmental pollution. Remediation measures expensive. Site investigation required.
MEDIUM
Risk of contamination but allowing non-sensitive development, e.g. commercial, for reasonable costs of remediation, although more sensitive development, e.g. housing, may require substantial remedial measures. Potential for environmental pollution. Site investigation may be required.
LOW
Little risk of contamination where all development options are likely to be possible with little or no remediation measures. Little potential for environmental pollution. Confirmatory site investigation may be required.

(b) For continuation of existing use:-

HIGH
Significant risk of contamination given the environmental setting resulting from either poor housekeeping, unfulfilled waste management obligations, or inadequate security with significant potential for environmental pollution. Historical uses present a potential for significant environmental damage. Significant on-site risk management arrangements required in the short-term.
MEDIUM
Risk of contamination given the environmental setting resulting from some unfulfilled site management obligations where there may be a limited history of contaminative use. Some on-site risk management arrangements required in the medium term.
LOW
Little risk of contamination given the environmental setting with low potential for contamination caused by activities of the occupier and limited history of contamination. Site generally well managed with all basic site management issues addressed and few or no remedial measures necessary.
