Goodenoch:
Wouldn't be a cause for concern for me. The last coal mine approved in the UK was in 2022 after 30 years since the last one, and till now the approval is still dragging in court, and the new government is not defending the approval by the last one.

The odds are very low of any new mine being opened in the UK but even if one is to be opened near to you, it will, by law, be distant enough not to impact health, and it will even drive property prices in nearby areas up as the new workers and businesses to serve them move in.

Thank you

Hello all,

We are in the process of getting a house. Please I need help with this statement from coal search report:

"The search revels that although reserves of coal exist in the local area which could be worked at some time in the future, there are no mines or associated operations affecting the property"

Is this a cause for concern although the coal search returned with a 'Pass'
