Contaminated land

Our Contaminated Land Strategy (PDF, 405 KB) sets out how we identify and investigate contamination of land in Barnet, and use enforcement powers when necessary.

The council has records of previous land uses going back to the 1800s.　

If land is found to be contaminated the risk must be removed. In many cases this means removing the contamination from the site. In other instances it is safe for the contamination to remain if, for example, it is sealed under concrete or clay so no one can come in contact with it.

Local land charge search

A local land charge search will reveal whether a building is on or adjacent to potentially contaminated land.
