Introduction

A Phase I desk study or Preliminary Risk Assessment (PRA) is a key document in any contaminated land assessment and is fast becoming a statutory requirement (under PPS23) to accompany a planning application for a sensitive development such as housing.

Services

Leyden Kirby Associates Limited offers a comprehensive PRA service which includes the collation of relevant environmental information for your site such as historical mapping, aerial photographs, water quality data, landfill data, coal mining, ground instability and geology. 

We also undertake a site walkover to gain a fuller understanding of the site and its setting.In accordance with current guidance and best practice, this information is used to create a Conceptual Model which will identify the presence of any potential pollutant linkages associated with the site and the potential for any significant contamination which will require further assessment.
