Nkc Geotech Ltd is based in North Wales and I have accumulated extensive records and mineplans for this coal and lead mining area.
It is my belief that the investigation and treatment of the mining features should be carried out with respect for these workers, collectively known as the Old Men, who worked underground in past centuries, in appalling conditions.
The Coal Authority require a Coal Mining Assessment from developers as an initial response to a planning application.
To comply with the legal requirements of The Coal Authority, their Permit Form has to be obtained, signed, and returned prior to any physical investigation commencing.
