SITE STABILITY
The sellers commissioned a stability report in July 2023. A copy of the report is available on request. That concluded
“..it is considered that the site can be viewed as stable from a mining support view point.
With the depth of the workings and the relatively thin layer of clay above the bedrock it is considered likely that mine gas emission could be an issue , therefore it would be prudent to allow to include a suitable gas membrane within the construction detailing for the new build unit.”
SERVICES
It is understood that the supplies of mains water, gas and electricity are close to the plot. However, interested parties should make their own enquiries of the service providers to confirm the position.
