Guidance on the Mining Remediation Authority's cost recovery process as a statutory consultee for nationally significant infrastructure projects

Documents

Details

The Mining Remediation Authority is a statutory consultee in the planning process, which means we must be notified and consulted on nationally significant infrastructure projects applications to ensure our areas of expertise are reflected within development proposals.

This guidance provides more information on our cost recovery process for these projects and explains how using our optional pre-application service could help ensure a clear understanding of any coal mining features present and associated land stability risks at an early stage.

All enquiries on our involvement with the nationally significant infrastructure project process and our advice fees should be emailed to NSIPsubmissions@coal.gov.uk.

The Mining Remediation Authority is the trading name of the Coal Authority (‘TCA’) established pursuant to Section 1 of the Coal Industry Act 1994, of 200 Lichfield Lane, Berry Hill, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, NG18 4RG. The Coal Authority remains the legal name of the Authority.
