02
The Coal Authority
Under the Coal Industry Act 1994 any intrusive activities, including initial site investigation boreholes, and/or any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings/coal mine entries for ground stability purposes require the prior written permission of The Coal Authority, since such activities can have serious public health and safety implications. Failure to obtain permission will result in trespass, with the potential for court action. Application forms for Coal Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Coal Authority’s website at: www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on-your-property.
03
Network Rail
As the works involve alterations to the ground profile in close proximity to the live railway the Asset Protection Team should be contacted to run through the proposals and enter into a basic asset protection agreement to cover development working adjacent to the railway. It must be pointed out that actions which cause disruption or damage to the safe running of trains is a criminal offence.
The Asset Protection Team can be contacted at:
