English Partnerships, as the national regeneration agency for England (now subsumed into the Homes and Communities Agency), worked with HM Treasury and HMRC on the revisions to Land Remediation Relief so as to include derelict as well as contaminated land and, in order to assist those responsible for its administration and the claimants of the tax relief, produced a Best Practice Note (BPN27) on Contamination and Remediation Costs (English Partnerships 2008).
