Derelict Land and Brownland Regeneration

by Ceri Evans

The author is a highly experienced solicitor, working in construction/property development at a leading firm of solicitors.

With the scarcity of land, construction companies and land owners are now increasingly interested in the development of derelict land and 'brownland' regeneration. However, there are a number of vital issues to be considered before going ahead with the development of such land. These issues are considered in this book:

The rights attached to derelict land
Grants available for clean-up
Problems attached to clean-up, i.e. contamination
Liabilities
The advantages of landfill tax regulations
Standard of clean-up required
Environmental warranties and insurance

A key feature of this book is that it contains information on the contaminated land regime, including a summary of the revised provisions of Part II EPA 1995 which will be coming into force in April 1999.

Why should I buy this book?

Guides the purchaser/owner of derelict land, step by step, through the purchase and eventual development process.
The obligations placed on a developer of derelict land are onerous and will be expanded by Part II EPA 1995. This book clearly identifies the duties and obligations within the legal field which a developer of derelict land must satisfy.
The process of obtaining and applying for grant schemes can be a minefield. This book gives an overview of the grant system and points the developer in the correct direction.
