The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The investigations, risk assessments and written reports must be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include: (i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination; (ii) desk study information, conceptual models, investigation methods, investigation results and interpretation and any other information required by the local planning authority to justify and appraise the report findings.

The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report (referred to in PPS23 as a validation report) that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and approved in writing by the local planning authority. D. Reporting of Unexpected Contamination In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority.
