As you will be aware we provide the LPA with downloadable GIS data in respect of Development Risk, and Surface Coal Resource plans. We would expect any sites being considered for allocation to be assessed against this data. Specifically the Development Risk plans as this should enable any constraints and/or issues affecting the site to be identified at as early as possible stage in the process. Where mine entries are present on a site this may impact on the quantum of development which can be accommodated, in order to ensure that these features are not built over, or close to.
