1. 1.; The proposed enlargement does not benefit from a general planning permission under Article 3(1) and Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015(as amended) as the proposed enlargement adjoins an existing two storey enlargement to the original dwellinghouse where the combined two and single storey enlargements would have more than one storey and project more than 3 metres from the rear of the original dwellinghouse and be within 2 metres of the boundary with an eaves height in excess of 3 metres contrary to sub- paragraphs (h), (i) and (ja) of Class A. PO Box 1720 HD1 9EL Development within a Coal Mining Area DEVELOPMENT HIGH RISK AREA - INFORMATIVE NOTE The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Mining Remediation Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth. These features may include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites. Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks. As a general precautionary principle, the Mining Remediation Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided. In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure a suitable engineering design which takes account of all relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water. Your attention is drawn to the Mining Remediation Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at: Building on or within the influencing distance of mine entries - GOV.UK Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Mining Remediation Authority Permit. Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes. Application forms for Mining Remediation Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Mining Remediation Authority’s website at: http://www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on-your- property What is a permit and how to get one? - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) In areas where shallow coal seams are present caution should be taken when carrying out any on site burning or heat focused activities. If any future development has the potential to encounter coal seams which require excavating, for example excavation of building foundations, service trenches, development platforms, earthworks, non-coal mineral operations, an Incidental Coal Agreement will be required. Further information regarding Incidental Coal Agreements can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incidental-coal-agreement/guidance-notes- for-applicants-for-incidental-coal-agreements If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Mining Remediation Authority on 0800 288 4242.
