Why Your Site Needs a Phase 2 Investigation

Developers across the UK frequently face planning conditions requiring a Phase 2 Ground Investigation before they can proceed with development. This is a critical step that ensures developers are working with accurate, site-specific data rather than assumptions, which is essential for planning approval and risk management.

Why the condition exists

Planning authorities impose these conditions where there is a potential contamination risk based on historic site use.
