Former Cranleigh Brick & Tile Works

Enabling development to secure the remediation of a contaminated site. Planning approval for the remediation and restoration of a heavily contaminated site in the Surrey countryside was approved by Waverley Borough Council.

The site, at Cranleigh Brick and Tile works, was identified as highly contaminated, as a result of its historic use as a munitions store, chemical works and more recently a brick works and quarry. This contamination, in the form of heavy metals, asbestos and other chemical pollutants, was harmful to the local environment and Cranleigh Waters. The scheme involved a capping option together with enabling development in the form of 19 houses.
