An Adeptus Phase 1 Desk Study report provides concise but comprehensive assessment of the potential for a particular piece of land to be contaminated. Our phase 1 desktop study reports are carried out in compliance with government guidelines to ensure their suitability for submission in support of planning applications, the discharge of planning conditions, conveyancing and environmental due diligence. The priority at Phase 1 is to optimise future efforts and rule out unnecessary works, so the report will often indicate that no further investigation is required.
