Access to contaminated land information
We hold information about the contaminated land that we own and maintain. Anyone can ask to see it. We may not be able to show you all the information because there are some restrictions from the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Local Government Act 1972, Part V (a).

We charge £55 per hour but there is no VAT on this service. These charges are for the year 2007/8
Ways To Pay:
We will tell you how to pay when we give you a quote.
Ways To Apply:

Details of service:
The Environment Information Regulations 2004 allows Local Authorities the opportunity to charge a reasonable amount for providing information and to request advance payment. Southampton City Council has chosen to exercise these rights when responding to commercial enquiries (e.g. buying and selling of property), but will waive them where Southampton City Council residents are making enquiries in response to genuine concerns.
Charges are calculated according to rate above. The total charge will be dependant upon the quantity of information that requires collating and a quote will be required to ascertain this.
Responses will be returned within 20 working days of receipt of full payment and/or any further particulars required, subject to any extension time that Southampton City council may be entitled to under the regulations.
Southampton City Council reserves the right to refund payment, full or in part, if any information is withheld in accordance with the regulations.
