Coal mining
Area affected by past coal-mining that may pose a risk of ground instability. It is likely that a planning application would need to be supported by a Coal Mining Risk Assessment.
This area is flood zone 1
Flood Risk Areas refer to the probability of flooding occurring on a site from sea and rivers.
Inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk (whether existing or future).
Flood zone 1 - land with a low probability of flooding from rivers or the sea
Flood zone 2 – land with a medium probability of flooding
Flood zones 3a & 3b – land with a high probability of flooding
Surface water flooding from rainfall events at differing intensities and frequencies is also a flood risk consideration.
Where appropriate, applications should be supported by a site-specific flood risk assessment. These areas are:

Soil and groundwater contamination ground risk band II
This site has been rated as risk band II for soil and groundwater contamination.
Risk bands range from I to V, the higher the band the greater potential risk (read more about ground risk bands).
This rating is based on the following potential risks listed below:
Historic boreholes drilled at a site may act as a preferential pathway for rapid transport of contamination to groundwater.
Based on the hydrology, geology and soil properties within a single square kilometre around the site, the vulnerability of groundwater to pollutants discharged at ground level is considered to be medium to low.
This area is not subject to tree preservation orders
Geotechnical ground risk band II
This site has been rated as risk band II for geotechnical hazards.
Risk bands range from I to V, the higher the band the greater potential risk (read more about risk bands).
This rating is based on the following potential risks listed below:
Past landfill sites, coal mining and chemical wastes that present a ground gas hazard may be present.
Area affected by past coal-mining that may pose a risk of ground instability. It is likely that a planning application would need to be supported by a Coal Mining Risk Assessment.
