Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced an Expression of Interest opportunity for the Land Remediation Pathfinder Scheme (LRPS). LRPS is a £80 million pilot scheme funded by Defra to support local authorities, combined authorities, and mayoral development corporations in England over a period of four years to remediate contaminated land in situations where landfill tax makes the project financially unviable, across a small number of eligible sites in a selected group of environmental contexts: industrial, coastal landfill and urban. The closing date is 6pm on 8 May 2026. For further information visit the LRPS web pages here.
