Site constraints 4

Recorded mine shaft 26 m away
Reference 427420-018. Building over or close to a mine entry should be avoided, even once it is capped.
From the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The development high risk area marks recorded coal mining features at or near the surface: mine shafts and adits, shallow workings, mine gas and former opencast sites. Most planning applications there need a coal mining risk assessment; householder applications, changes of use and some minor works are exempt. Mine entry positions come from old plans and can be out by several metres, and unrecorded workings can exist anywhere in the coalfield.
Coal mining risk assessments ↗
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; 2 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Ossett built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
