Representation Summary:

If contaminated land were proven to be 100% safe for development, it could indeed be a valuable resource for building much-needed infrastructure or housing. Transforming such land could provide essential benefits to the local area, addressing housing shortages or improving community facilities. However, this safety must be thoroughly verified through rigorous testing and monitoring to ensure no health risks are posed. If confirmed safe, repurposing contaminated land could help alleviate pressures on other areas, making it a practical solution for meeting local needs while utilising available space effectively.
