1. Description

1.1 Keywords

Coal, Mining, Data, Mining Report, Ground Stability, Development Low Risk

1.2 Abstract

The Development Low Risk Area is the part of the coal mining reporting area which contains no recorded coal mining legacy risks to the surface. New development within this defined area is subject to general Standing Advice from the Coal Authority.

1.3 Purpose

The development low risk areas are used by Planning Authorities to determine that a planning application is subject to general Standing Advice from the Coal Authority.

1.4 Supplementary Information

The National Coal Mining Database, which is based on the records held at The Coal Authority offices in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is updated on a regular basis. This dataset has been extracted from this dynamic database on the date stated below and therefore represents a snapshot in time.
