This month, The Department for Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), has announced the intention to review the Statutory Guidance for the operation of the contaminated land regime under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

The review has come as a result of work over the past year to examine the implementation of the current regime as well as gain input from a wide number of stakeholders.
It has been 10 years since the Statutory Guidance was first introduced and it is believed that there is a strong case for considering where it could be amended to reflect experience in delivering the regime and developments in scientific understanding.

Due to the potential for changes to the Statutory Guidance, DEFRA will be postponing the publication of the proposed best practice guidance on contaminated land decision making until after any changes to the Statutory Guidance are made.
