Who is a Suitably Qualified Person?

摘要

Open consultation on the proposed National Quality Mark Scheme for Land Affected by Contamination (NQMLC) closes on 15th May 2015. The scheme has been developed to provide visible identification of documents that have been checked by a Suitably Qualified and experienced Person (SQP). It is intended that this National Quality Mark declaration will provide increased confidence in the quality of reports of all types that are submitted under regulatory regimes (particularly planning applications), related to previously used land. The proposed Quality Mark Scheme arose from a significant discussion held at the January 2014 meeting of the Land Forum regarding the best way to improve standards in our industry. Importantly, through joint ownership by the Land Forum membership, the scheme can be said to have support across the community and to have national recognition.
