What is a Mine Subsidence Report?
A
Mine Subsidence Report is a
formal assessment that determines whether your property is located within or near an area of
historical or active mining activity. It assesses risks related to
land movement, instability, or subsidence, which can affect how your property is designed or approved for construction.
