Construction activities can have an adverse effect on soils and so its impacts need careful consideration as part of the development process.

A detailed soil report should be produced following a soil survey which includes:

* A description of the characteristics of each soil resource.
* A discussion of the potential for re-use of soils on site.
* Recommendations for the handling and storage of soils on site.
* Maps showing the locations of soils on site.

The results should generally be incorporated into a Material Management Plan or Site Waste Management Plan.

It can be the case that local authorities will refuse to grant planning permission before seeing a soil report.

The report should be prepared by a geotechnical engineer or civil engineer and should provide an indication as to whether the site is suitable for the proposed construction, i.e. whether the soil and geological conditions will be able to provide the required support and stability.

The soil report is used by structural engineers to inform the choice of foundation design. Consideration of the allowable soil bearing pressure and the possibilities of settlement is of particular importance.

Some of the details that should be included in a soil report are:

* The geological history of the area.
* Details of the sampling (e.g. borehole location, depth, soils encountered at each level).
* Groundwater conditions.
* Classification of the various types of soil encountered.
* Bearing capacity of the soil.
* Chemical composition of the soil.
* Seismic conditions prevalent in the area, if appropriate.
* Recommendations for foundation design.
