By: Brownfield Briefing The Planning System reforms, which include the transfer of planning functions to 11 new local councils in Northern Ireland, are due to take place in April 2015. The majority of contaminated land and groundwater issues are dealt with under the Planning regime, and so it is critical that all professionals involved in brownfield development have a thorough understanding of this reform and the impact it will have. The one-day event, organised by online news publication Brownfield Briefing, also tackles the wider issues of assessment and management of risks arising from contaminated groundwater, waste management and asbestos in soil in brownfield sites.
