Mine shafts and adits can exist beneath or near your proposed building footprint without obvious signs at ground level. If you’re developing in a former coalfield, a Coal Mining Risk Assessment helps confirm whether legacy risks need managing.

Common Hazards Identified:
  • Collapsible ground from historic shallow mining
  • Open or poorly capped mine entries
  • Gas migration from underground voids
  • Ground movement affecting building stability
What a Coal Mining Risk Assessment Provides

We gather detailed data from the Coal Authority, historical maps, geological surveys, and other records. Our report includes:

  • Summary of known coal mining features
  • Assessment of associated risks
  • Recommendations for further investigation (if needed)

This report forms an essential part of your due diligence and planning application.
