Coal Mining Risk Assessments

- The Coal Authority are responsible for the historical coal mining legacy in the United Kingdom and have issued guidance on how the risk from past coal mining can be reduced by the preparation of a risk assessment for development in coal mining areas. - Most planning applications now need a Coal Mining Risk Assessment to be submitted with the application assessing the risk from historical coalmining and detailing the method to mitigate and minimise the future risk of mining subsidence. - Our team of engineers and surveyors provide mining reports and advise how mining may have affected the land and any future development on that land. The submission of the CMRA is usually a desk based study of the mine plans, the geological plans, the shaft records and treatment and a prediction of subsidence in the past and future.
