NOTES TO APPLICANT

1.

The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application by working to determine it within the agreed determination timescale.

2.

The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Coal Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth.  These features may include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites.  Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. 

Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks.  As a general precautionary principle, the Coal Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided.  In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure that a suitable engineering design which takes into account all the relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water.  Your attention is drawn to the Coal Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at:

Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Coal Authority Permit.  Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes.  Failure to obtain a Coal Authority Permit for such activities is trespass, with the potential for court action. 

If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848.  Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at:
