Cranleigh, Surrey

Menta have been appointed to manage the delivery of the Cherokee Cranleigh site in Surrey, 30 miles south of London.

Cherokee Cranleigh Limited acquired the property in 2001 and developed a comprehensive remediation plan to address the contamination issues and prepare the site for redevelopment. Cleanup will include removal of approximately 100,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil on the 12-acre parcel.

A 12-acre portion of the 44 acre site has a long history of chemical manufacturing, munitions storage and brick production resulting in zinc, cadmium, lead and copper contaminants in the soil and surface water run-off.

The UK Environmental Agency has designated the property as a “Special Site” requiring near-term remediation to prevent continued ground and surface water contamination.
