COVID-19 has resulted in the significant disruption to the construction and property sector, as well as having significant financial impacts on local authority revenues. Groundscreen is a cloud-based digital planning tool designed to identify and calculate abnormal ground conditions and clean-up costs prior to the detailed assessment and development of a site. It is intended to drive development on previously developed land and remove the uncertainties associated with assessing the viability of post-industrial brownfield land. Local authorities, planners, developers and purchasers of all sizes will be able to utilise this tool to have sight of issues before they derail a project, and to prioritise and target land disposal and further action as required.The tool is integrated within a Geographical Information System (GIS) and will be able to deliver relative risk scores and quantitative assessments of associated costs for inputs ranging from single sites to large UK-wide land holding portfolios. The outputs provide assessments of a) soil and groundwater contamination and b) geotechnical (soil, rock and mining) hazards. It is based on regional bespoke tools created by the British Geological Survey (BGS) for selected local authorities in 2019, and the national project is the result of collaboration between Groundsure and BGS.It is intended that the tool will be useful in the following areas* Landholder portfolio assessment* Prioritisation of brownfield land for disposal by local authorities* Developer planning* Individual site-level assessmentThis tool is not intended to replace the necessary environmental risk assessments of sites for development, but instead to help with the prioritisation and evaluation of sites in a complementary manner. It will reduce uncertainties and allow for efficient allocation of resources, whilst facilitating the sustainable reuse of brownfield land.Given the UK government's targets for prioritising brownfield land for the development of up to 300,000 new homes a year, it is vital that we create tools to break down the barriers to the utilisation of 'problematic' land. This tool uses publicly available datasets available for England and Wales to calculate its output, so there are no regional barriers to its deployment. The failure to appreciate the scale and cost of abnormal ground conditions can easily derail development even in the most high value projects. This project is intended to ensure the flow of land back into beneficial use, reducing project risk and enabling the 'brownfield first' policy for land reuse.

COVID-19对建筑及物业行业造成重大干扰，并对地方当局收入造成重大财务影响。Groundscreen是一种基于云的数字规划工具，旨在在详细评估和开发场地之前识别和计算异常地面状况和清理成本。其目的是推动以前开发的土地的开发，并消除与评估后工业布朗菲尔德土地的可行性相关的不确定性。地方当局、规划者、开发商和各种规模的购买者都将能够利用这一工具，在项目脱轨之前发现问题，并根据需要确定土地处置的优先次序和目标以及进一步行动。该工具集成在地理信息系统（GIS）中，将能够提供相对风险评分和相关成本的定量评估，范围从单个站点到大型英国-广泛的土地持有组合。产出提供了对a）土壤和地下水污染和B）地质技术（土壤、岩石和采矿）危害的评估。它基于英国地质调查局（BGS）于2019年为选定的地方当局创建的区域定制工具，该国家项目是Groundsure和BGS合作的结果。该工具将在以下领域发挥作用 * 土地所有者组合评估 * 地方当局处理布朗菲尔德土地的优先顺序 * 开发商规划 * 个别地点-水平评估这一工具并不是要取代对开发地点进行必要的环境风险评估，而是以一种补充的方式帮助确定地点的优先次序和进行评估。它将减少不确定性，并允许有效地分配资源，同时促进布朗菲尔德土地的可持续再利用。鉴于英国政府的目标是优先考虑布朗菲尔德土地，每年开发多达300，000套新住宅，我们必须创造工具来打破利用“问题”土地的障碍。该工具使用英格兰和威尔士公开可用的数据集来计算其输出，因此其部署没有区域障碍。如果不重视异常地面条件的规模和成本，即使在最高价值的项目中，也很容易使开发脱轨。该项目旨在确保土地重新投入有益使用，降低项目风险并实现土地再利用的“布朗菲尔德优先”政策。
