The Jenny Pate House Erskine Brae Culross Dunfermline Fife KY12 8HZ Data via plota.co.uk

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.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
