How a Coal Mining Risk Assessment Can Save Your Development Project

If your proposed development site is in a coalfield area, there’s one report you can’t afford to skip—a Coal Mining Risk Assessment. Without it, your planning application could be delayed or rejected outright.

Coal mining activity, even if it happened decades ago, can leave a legacy of underground voids, instability, and ground movement. This can cause structural damage, drainage issues, and even safety hazards if not addressed. A CMRA assesses whether these risks exist and what mitigation is needed.

At EnviroSolution, we conduct detailed CMRAs in line with Coal Authority guidance. We review mining records, geological data, and site-specific conditions to determine the likelihood of past or present mining affecting your site. If risks are identified, we outline recommended investigations or engineering solutions.

By commissioning your CMRA early, you avoid costly redesigns, delays, or planning refusals. We’ve helped developers, architects, and planners across the UK secure approvals smoothly by providing clear, compliant reports.

Don’t let coalfield uncertainty derail your project. Protect your investment with a professional Coal Mining Risk Assessment from EnviroSolution.
