Abstract
A national target has been set to build 60% of new housing on brownfield sites. These sites can contain a variety of hazards that can pose significant risks for developers, designers, house builders, insurers and house owners. In Part 2, the ways in which the risks can be managed and, where necessary, reduced, are outlined. Risk mitigation can include ground remediation techniques which are implemented before building and defensive measures which are adopted in the design of foundations, substructure and services. Also lists regulations which can impact on the development of brownfield sites.
