Landmark Commercial Product Changes Landmark have advised that the following two commercial reports are being decommissioned: · RiskView Commercial and · Sitecheck Flood. Any customers using RiskView Commercial should order Argyll’s SiteSolutions Combined product, which comprises the market leading environmental due-diligence report for the commercial market. Any customers using Sitecheck Flood, should order Argyll’s FloodSolutions Commercial product, which comprises the market leading flood due-diligence report for the commercial market. In light of the recent changes to the Law Society’s flood risk practice note, it is important that flood risk analysis for commercial properties be completed by a suitably qualified consultant. Each FloodSolutions Commercial and SiteSolutions Combined report includes an opinion and interpretation of flood data from an experienced IEMA-accredited consultant, advising if a full Flood Risk Assessment is required under the National Planning Policy Framework.Tweet 24.

Reminder: Changes to Wyre Forest District Council Local Authority Searches : March 2020 Wyre Forest District Council’s Land Charges Team hope to be implementing new software in March 2020, which will result in some changes to the information provided on our Local Authority Searches. Wyre Forest's council's computerised records of Planning Refusals and Planning Withdrawn Applications does not extend back before January 2006 and Building Regulation Information does not extend back before 2012. Therefore, they will not be able to provide this information on any of their Searches. From 2nd March 2020 the Full Local Authority Search will provide Planning Refusals and Planning Withdrawn applications from 2006 onwards and Building Regulation Information from 2012 onwards They will of course still provide a full Local Land Charges Register which includes all conditional planning approvals from 1974. For clarification the LLC1 only requests will include the Land Charges Register but not Con29 information including Building Regulation Information as this is not contained within the Land Charges Register. If you require details of Planning Refusals and Planning Withdrawn Applications prior to 2006 please email tsu@wyreforestdc.gov.uk For details of building control applications, approvals and completions prior to 2012, in the first instance please refer to the owner(s) of the property. If they do not have details, you may make a request to this Council under the Freedom of Information Act. Please use the following link https://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/the-council/transparency-and-freedom-of-information/freedom-of-information.aspx Please note that copies of building regulation applications, approvals and completion certificates are only available to the building owners or their appointed agents and at the discretion of the local authority. Evidence to prove ownership may be required. We hope the transition to the new software will go smoothly, however if there are issues which effect the current turnaround times of within 10 working days Wyre Forest council will keep their website updated https://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/land-and-premises/local-land-charge-search.aspx If you require further clarification or have any queries regarding this matter please email land.charges@wyreforestdc.gov.uk In the meantime if you have any questions you would like to ask us directly in relation to this change, please get in touch with our friendly Client Support team on 0800 840 5571 or helpdesk@tmgroup.co.ukTweet 17.

Groundsure Combined Con29M From Monday 16th March 2020 Groundsure will be including the data from the Mining Interpretive follow-on report into the CON29M original order if these risks are identified, giving you everything you need from the start and mitigating the need to order a separate, second report. Summary of what this means: •As of the 16th March the Mine Entry Report will no longer be available as a separate report •Simplified ordering for both the CON29M and MER report - now combined in to one comprehensive product • The additional data, interpretation and assessment found in the standalone Mine Entry Report will now be included as standard in the Groundsure CON29Ms - where required Will I need to do anything? All you need to do is order the Groundsure CON29M report as usual and where applicable the mine entry interpretive content will be included seamlessly as part of the CON29M report - for no extra charge. Further benefits of this integration: What additional information may now be included in the Groundsure CON29M report as a result: • The calculated zone of influence (ZOI) around mine entries – the physical extent to which they could pose a risk – is now included as standard • The Groundsure CON29M will go beyond official Law Society CON29M guidance and flag a risk whenever a mine entry ZOI encroaches on a property even when there is no mine entry within 20m • Standard practice has previously defined mine entry risk to only 20m - which has historically meant that some risk was going unreported (where a ZOI is greater than 20m in radius) • Groundsure have calculated this to be a scenario that is true for c.10k properties nationwide The design and format of the report will remain largely unchanged, but the additional data will be implemented into the intelligence behind the risk calculation and recommendations.Tweet 17.
