Developing in a High-Risk Coal Mining Area? CMRA is Your First Step

If your proposed development falls in a high-risk coalfield zone, the Coal Authority will likely require a Coal Mining Risk Assessment before any permissions are granted.

EnviroSolution specialises in providing developers with fast, accurate CMRAs that remove uncertainty and keep projects moving forward. Our risk assessments include:

• Coal Authority data interpretation
• Historical mapping analysis
• Ground condition modelling
• Site-specific recommendations

One housing developer in Derbyshire came to us after their initial planning application was refused due to a missing CMRA. We quickly assessed their site, identified a redundant mine shaft 20 metres from their property boundary, and proposed design changes that allowed their project to move forward without costly drilling.

We don’t just provide reports—we help developers navigate risk and compliance. If your site lies within a Coal Authority alert zone, an EnviroSolution CMRA is your best investment.
