    Uploaded by

    Z Babar Khan
    The document is a flow chart that provides guidance on assessing risks from coal mining for proposed developments in the UK. It outlines several questions to consider regarding past underground or open-cast coal mining activities at a site or nearby that could impact development plans. If any issues are identified, it recommends seeking professional advice and incorporating risk mitigation into proposals. The flow chart acts as a screening tool to determine whether further investigation is needed before proceeding with development.
