Site constraints 5
Coal mining development high risk area
Recorded coal mining features at or near the surface. Most planning applications here need a coal mining risk assessment.
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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; 1 listed building within 150 m; National infrastructure project 837 m away: Chesterfield to Willington, at pre-application; Inside the Ripley (Amber Valley) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
