Cornish Mining
China Clay Mining has historically been concentrated in and around Cornwall, Dorset and Devon.
Over the years this has steadily declined and the main areas that have continued China Clay mining
are areas around St. Austell and Dartmoor. We recommend any prospective purchaser buying a property
in these areas carry out a China Clay search to determined whether the property is likely to be
affected by clay deposits, and if these areas are likely to be worked in future or if past workings
pose a threat of subsidence.
Cornish mining searches reveal details of:
- The underlying geology of a property.
- Any mining history within the area.
- A Mining Appraisal.
- A summary conclusion of the indicated risks to the property.
- A composite plan indicating the location of known, indicated and suspected mining works in the vicinity of the subjects.
