COST MODEL LAND REMEDIATION

摘要

Contaminated land is land that has been polluted with harmful substances to the point where it poses a serious risk to health and the environment. The policy and planning implications of land contamination relate particularly to brownfield housing schemes. Contamination can prevent previously used land from being developed to its full potential. In particular, the costs of remediation can affect the viability of marginal sites that might otherwise be developed for housing. The UK contaminated land market, excluding dig and dump, is expected to be worth £630m in 2010.
