South Hall Farm
Havering Council is reviewing its contaminated land strategy and considering Zane's Law, which advocates for stronger regulations for landfill sites.
Havering Council is reviewing its strategy for managing contaminated land, as reported in November 2025. This review is occurring as the council considers its position on Zane's Law, a campaign advocating for stronger regulations and funding to address pollution from landfill sites. A council report noted that staffing constraints and focus on Arnold's Field had delayed the strategy review.
Zane's Law was launched following the death of Zane Gbangbola, whose family believes was caused by toxic gases from a flooded legacy landfill site. South Hall Farm is an Environment Agency landfill site identified as potentially being in or near medium or high flood risk areas. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss South Hall Farm.
