h2. Environmental Enquiry Service
*This page is known as: http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/env-enq-service*
p. The Environmental Enquiry Service is a property and land search that provides details of any *landfills* , *industrial processes* , *petrol stations* , *waste disposal sites* close to a given area.
p. The service also provides *historical land use information and* details whether the land has been assessed as part of the City Council's "Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy":http://birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Environmental-Health%2FPageLayout&cid=1223092715960&pagename=BCC%2FCommon%2FWrapper%2FInlineWrapper *. Information regarding* local amenities including *schools* , *doctors* , *dentists* , *parks* , *libraries,* *nurseries, local council offices* , *post offices* and *railway station* is also available.
The reports are complied using a specially developed computer software aptly titled BEST (Birmingham Environmental Search Tool). Geographical Information Systems ensure the information is accurate and up to date.
p. All information is gathered locally by the team and much of the information cannot be obtained elsewhere as it has been compiled by investigations carried out by them.
p. %(Bold)Each search costs £36.40 and results in a full colour, bound report% . All searches are carried out from the property boundary and data sheets and colour location plans are provided. All searches are processed on the day of receipt. Although details can be sent via post, a fax and e-mail service is available on request.
You can apply for and pay for this service by credit/debit card using the "Land Search Online Form":http://birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Environmental-Health%2FPageLayout&cid=1223092716320&pagename=BCC%2FCommon%2FWrapper%2FWrapper .
p. When developing the new system and reports a customer survey provided valuable insight into customer needs. A link to a general summary of the survey can be found below.
An additional service is now available to provide specialist advice on matters not included in the standard report. We are now able to provide specialist reports on historical land uses, _opinion_ on the likelihood of land being considered contaminated (where a formal assessment has not yet been carried out), and summaries of any site investigation data available. A fee is payable for this service. Please contact the team for further information.
