Our records indicate that within the Cheshire West and Chester area there are coal mining features present at surface and shallow depth including; mine entries and coal workings. These features pose a potential risk to surface stability and public safety. We note that existing Policy DM32 – Land Contamination and Instability is proposed to be incorporated into Policy HW1 Health and Wellbeing. We support the inclusion of the requirement to address land instability as part of new developments as set out within the draft policy HW1.
