Eden NE has completed an environmental risk and liability assessment of 18,548 dwellings and 6 million m2 of land. Eden NE used advanced technologies and skills to map housing related assets and environmental hazards to allow assessment and profiling of key risks and the calculation of financial liability.

The approach assessed over 100 spatial datasets and evaluated contaminated land, flooding, subsidence, natural hazards and asbestos containing materials for every individual asset, calculated the risks and the financial liability associated with the risks. The core work was subsequently extended to include an assessment of over 36 parcels of additional land which were allocated for the specific purpose of housing development. The assessment included a more enhanced constraints assessment and financial evaluation based on housing development.

The work was undertaken on time within 12 weeks and within the Council budget. The work undertaken emphasises Eden NE’s skills in environmental data, risk modelling, asset management and liability assessment.
