Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

Aftercare provisions were first introduced by the Town and Country Planning (Minerals) Act 1981. This requires steps to be taken to ensure restored land is brought back to the required standard within a maximum period of five years for the afteruse identified (agriculture, forestry or amenity). This report reviews the effectiveness of aftercare provisions and, where appropriate, makes recommendations to improve procedures.
