Request a Petroleum Environment search

If you are developing a plot of land, or have concerns about possible pollution from stored petrol on land (in County Durham), you can ask us to carry out a search.

These locations may have previously been:

We will check our records to find out whether this location has:

old petrol tanks remaining on the land

To see if land has possible pollution from stored petrol you can apply to Search the stored petrol register.

Cost

It costs £99 to request a search. When we complete the search we'll let you know whether we hold any records for this land.
