Phase 1: Preliminary Risk Assessment (PRA)
A Phase 1 Preliminary Risk Assessment is the initial stage in determining the likely contamination risks on your land/site. Where contamination risks are identified, appropriate Phase 2 Site Investigation work can be designed based on these findings.
A Phase 1 Preliminary Risk Assessment is generally the minimal requirement for planning, either for submission with a planning application or to comply with contaminated land planning conditions, to establish the historical uses and likely ground conditions of your land/site and surrounding area, to identify potential sources of contamination, receptors and pathways.
