We work closely with Local Authority clients to identify viable burial sites and secure the necessary planning approvals. Where sites are less suitable we aim to identify key pollution or drainage constraints at the earliest opportunity.
Burial sites pose a distinct pollution hazard to the local water environment.Ā The scale of any pollution risks must therefore be properly understood before new cemeteries or extensions to existing sites can be developed.
GroundFirst follow a tiered approach to cemetery risk assessment as recommended by the Environment Agency. We recognise the importance in good data and strong site āconceptualisationāĀ from the offset. A robust and reliable Tier 1 risk screening report is a key foundation to any cemetery assessment.
