Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations prescribe the manner in which questions with respect to subsidence damage affecting land drainage, arising between persons responsible for such damage and the appropriate drainage authorities under section 36 of the Coal Mining Subsidence Act 1991 (as amended by the Coal Industry Act 1994), are to be determined, and prescribe the procedure to be followed after measures in relation to such damage have been agreed, determined or varied. The Regulations largely reproduce the effect of S. I. 1958/1486, with appropriate amendments to take account of the 1991 and 1994 Acts.
