This dataset covers land in England designated or assessed as contaminated under UK environmental legislation. An area may be classified as contaminated land where substances in, on or under the ground pose a significant risk of harm, or where there is likely to be pollution of controlled waters. Potential harm can affect human health, plants, property, crops, livestock, ecological systems, or ancient monuments. The data is used by local authorities and environmental regulators to identify, record and manage such sites, supporting land-use planning, remediation decisions, and public health protection. It is published via data.gov.uk as part of UK open government data.
