CMRA Reports for Residential and Commercial Projects

Castledine Environmental provides specialist Coal Mining Risk Assessments (CMRAs) to support planning applications in former coalfield areas across the UK. A CMRA is often a planning requirement where there's a known or suspected risk of instability due to historical coal mining activity.

We begin by identifying whether your proposed development falls within a Coal Authority referral zone. If so, we produce a detailed, desk-based assessment using official Coal Authority data, historic mapping, and geological records. Our reports are structured to meet local authority planning requirements and provide clear, actionable information.

The CMRA highlights any potential risks such as shallow coal seams, unrecorded mine shafts, or past subsidence. Where needed, we'll recommend further site investigation or mitigation strategies-ensuring your project proceeds safely and in line with regulatory expectations.

Our clients range from homeowners and housing developers to commercial builders and property consultants. With years of experience in environmental assessments, we understand the pressures of planning timescales and aim to deliver reports quickly and efficiently.

Choose Castledine Environmental for accurate, timely, and affordable coal mining risk assessments you can rely on.
