Expenditure on clearing up a nuclear site does not qualify for Land Remediation Relief. This exclusion applies equally to:

  • Land remediation relief before 1 April 2009,

  • Land remediation relief for contaminated sites from 1 April 2009, and

  • Land remediation relief for derelict sites from 1 April 2009.

For the purposes of the relief, a nuclear site is defined as any site that:

  • has a nuclear site licence under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, or

  • had a nuclear site licence in force, but the period of responsibility of the licensee has not come to an end following its revocation or surrender.
