520			_aDiscusses how the contaminated land regime, implemented under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part IIA, has failed to meet goverment expectations in aiding the decontamination and redevelopment of brownfield sites. It had been anticipated that many of these sites would be cleaned up either by the original polluter or, where they no longer exist, the landowner. However, in many cases the landowner is the local council and these often do not have the resources to carry out the remediation on the more seriously contaminated sites. Concludes that government may have to follow Denmark's example of relaxing rules designating polluted sites, following suggestions that health risks are generally low and the costs of decontamination too high.
