MINES AND QUARRIES

These regulations prescribe certain matters in relation to works notices given under section 8(4) of the Mineral Workings Act 1985 (notices of intention to carry out compulsorily remedial works under section 89(2) of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 on land affected by former underground mining operations other than coal mining). A works notice may be given where the carrying out of such works is urgently necessary because subsidence has occurred or there is imminent danger of subsidence, there is risk of death or injury to persons or of damage to other land or property, and it is not possible to secure the consent of all of the persons interested in the land.
