What is the Landmark data and how is it screened?
The Landmark data is concerned with land use and, amongst other factors, the potential for pollution. It has been collected by Landmark from a comprehensive list of regulators, agencies, utility companies, aerial photographic archives, historic map archives and public records. Landmark has mapped the collected data. Using a third party screening tool the data is interrogated for potential pollutant linkages. This is a theoretical linkage between potential contamination and a receptor such as humans, water and ecosystems through a pathway such as leaching into water, direct ingestion and plant uptake. If any possibility of a pollutant linkage is indicated the screening tool will rank the linkage and a high ranking may indicate that the regulator for contaminated land could have an interest in considering the land as an issue under the contaminated land legislation of the United Kingdom. If there are no high ranking linkages the screening tool will indicate a pass.
