Public Register of Contaminated Land
Section 78R of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 as amended
by the Environment Act 1995 (Part IIA), requires each enforcing
authority to keep a Public
Register of ‘Contaminated Land within its boundary.
The statutory requirements for the contents of the public
register are set out in sections 78R(1) of the EPA 1990, and
Regulation 15 and Schedule 3 of the Contaminated Land (England)
Regulations 2000 (SI227/2000). Paragraphs 71 to 92 of Annex 4 of
DEFRA Circular 01/2006 also provide guidance on the information to
be placed on the register.
Sections 78S and 78T of the EPA 1990 preclude certain
information from appearing on the Public Register on the grounds of
National Security or commercial confidentiality.
A hard copy of the register is kept at The Council House in
Malvern. To make an appointment to view the register in person, or
