A small extension of a medical centre in Exeter, Devon, UK.
Despite the small scale of the development a Site Contamination Assessment was requested by Exeter City Council.
During the collation of the Desktop Study Report it became apparent that the building was built on top of a landfill site, that dated from the 1970s.
It was therefore recommened that a Site Investigation take place so as to determine the nature of placed fill.
Soil condition were found to be good and gas and groundwater monitoring did not reveal any elevated lvels of contaminants.
