Dear Mike

Coal mining risk assessment for the proposed development of two new corner stands at Burnley Football Club

Introduction The Coal Authority identified in their letter dated 6th April 2018 that the proposed development falls within a Development High Risk Area and that the site is likely to have been subject to historic unrecorded underground coal mining at shallow depth. In response, PWA Geo- Environmental Limited (PWAG) was instructed by BAQUS Construction Consultancy to prepare a Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA) for the proposed development site. The objective is to respond to the Coal Authority’s request for additional information on coal mining, including an assessment of its potential impact on land stability.

This CMRA has been prepared in accordance with the Coal Authority’s model template presented in their Risk Based Approach to Development Management, Guidance for Developers (Version 4 – 2017).

This report provides factual and interpretive information in relation to potential historic coal mining beneath the site in relation to the proposed development. It has been prepared for the sole use and reliance of BAQUS Construction Consultancy. No other third party may rely on or reproduce the content of this report without the written approval PWAG. If any unauthorised third party comes into possession of this report, they rely upon it entirely at their own risk and the authors do not owe them any warranty, duty of care or skill.

PWA Geo-Environmental Ltd Site Location and Setting Registered in England The general location of the site is at Turf Moor Football Stadium off Harry Potts Way, Burnley, Summit House Riparian Way BB10 4BX. More specifically, this report relates to the footprint of two proposed infill Cross Hills structures between the existing stands in the north-east and south east corners of the stadium. BD20 7BW No 06939651

The development site boundaries are identified by the red line on Figure 1 that has been extracted from the Planning, Design and Access Statement (PDAS) dated February 2018. A copy of this document is presented in Appendix 1.

Figure 1: Red line boundary showing location of proposed corner stands

In terms of topography the site in the vicinity of the proposed development areas is reasonably level. Based on a review of Google Earth data, the north east corner site is estimated to be at an approximate elevation of 126 m above Ordnance Datum (AOD) and the south east corner site at 123 m AOD. Ground cover appears to comprise asphalt paving.

Description and Layout of Proposed Development It is understood that the proposed development will comprise two new corner stands to provide additional disability seating with ancillary facilities and lighting. Drawings illustrating the proposed layout of these stands are contained within the PDAS presented in Appendix 1.

Scope of the Coal Mining Risk Assessment The purpose of this CMRA is to respond to the request for additional information made by the Coal Authority in their letters dated 6th April 2018 and 8th May 2018. In doing so we:

• Present a desk‐based review of all available information on the coal mining issues which are relevant to the application site at this stage of the planning process. • Use that information to identify and assess the risks (if any) to the proposed development from coal mining legacy, including the cumulative impact of such issues. • Set out any appropriate mitigation measures to address the coal mining legacy issues affecting the site, including any necessary precautionary and/or remedial works, and to demonstrate to what extent coal mining issues have influenced or will influence the proposed development.

approximately 120 m to the north east with a tramway heading in a north east direction away from the colliery. Otherwise, land to the north, east and south east is mostly undeveloped.

By 1912 the narrow stands had been partly replaced with imported material shown in the north east corner. Williamson reports that this was colliery spoil. A shaft, air shaft, tunnel and chimney were annotated on the site of Bee Hole Colliery. By 1931 the area covered with imported material had increased to form embankments to the north and east of the football ground. Spoil material was also shown to the south west of the colliery.

By 1959 the embankments around the football ground had been developed with terraces. Bee Hole Colliery was no longer present and had been partly redeveloped with the existing residential properties. Subsequent maps show replacement of the embanked terraces with new stands and increasing residential development around the site.

Geology The 1:10,000 Geological Map (Sheet SD83SE Worsthorne) indicates that the site is underlain by Glacial Till over strata of the Pennine Lower Coal Measures Formation (PLCM) comprising undifferentiated sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. Two named coal seams are shown to subcrop within proximity of the site:

• The Low Bottom Coal (also known as the Blindstone Coal) (1.2m thick) is conjectured to subcrop in an east west orientation approximately 20 m north of the northern site boundary. • The Inferior Cannel Coal (0.7 m thick) is conjectured to subcrop in a north east to south west orientation approximately 50 m to the south of the southern site boundary.

According to the 1:10,000 scale geological map, the vertical separation between the Low Bottom Coal and Inferior Cannel Coal is 7 m. On this basis, the Inferior Coal is conjectured to be present beneath the site at shallow depth below rockhead. The next named coal seam is the Fulledge Thin Coal (0.8 – 1.2 m) that is approximately 18 m below the Inferior Cannel Coal; this does not subcrop in the vicinity of the site. According to Williamson, all three coal seams known to be present in the vicinity of the site (i.e. the Blindstone Coal, Inferior Cannel Coal and Fulledge Thin Coal) were worked in the Burnley area.

No significant faulting is recorded within the site although there is a north east south west trending fault approximately 200 m south east of the site.

One BGS Historical Borehole Log (SD83SE1) is shown on the geological map approximately 60 m south east of the site and a copy of this record is presented in Appendix 3. The borehole was 173 m deep and the shallowest coal encountered was 47.6 m bgl. This comprised three seams separated by two dirt layers with a combined thickness of 2.62 m. The upper coal seam was 1.17 m thick and corresponds to the Fulledge Thin Coal. It does not appear that this borehole encountered the Inferior Coal.

The BGS borehole record also includes details of mine abandonment plans for Bee Hole Colliery as follows:

• The abandonment plan for the Low Bottom Coal (also known as the Blindstone) indicated that the seam was 1.04 m thick. A sketch shows workings extending away from the colliery site to the north and east. However, the margins are annotated as ‘old workings’ indicating that this seam could have been worked across a wider area. • The abandonment plan recorded that the Fulledge Thin Mine was 0.8 m thick (i.e thinner than that in the borehole log and provided no indication that the lower two seams were worked) and encountered at 44.8 m bgl. This corresponds to the shallowest coal in the borehole record. It also states that the Fulledge Thin Coal was completely worked out between Brunshaw Road, Belvedere Road and Ormerod Road. • Details were also provided for the King Mine (King Coal) that was 1.4 m thick. According to the 1:10,000 scale geological map, the vertical separation between the King Mine and Fulledge Thin is 26 m. This was indicated to be worked out beneath the site.

For the proposed buildings, Rogers recommended the use of pile foundations to transfer foundation loads to deeper competent soils.

Identification and Assessment of Site Specific Coal Mining Risks The table below summarises the potential risks associated with coal mining legacy for the proposed development:

Coal Mining Yes No Risk Assessment Issue Underground Yes The CA mining report (presented in Appendix 4) indicates the coal mining site is within the zone of influence from workings in six seams (recorded at of coal at shallow to 480 m depth, and last worked in 1959. shallow depths). Underground Yes The property is within an area where the CA believes coal is coal mining at or close to the surface. This coal may have been worked at (probable at some time in the past. shallow depths). Review of geological information indicates that the Low Bottom (Blindstone) Coal, Inferior Cannel Coal and Fulledge Thin) were worked in the Burnley area. Both the Low Bottom and Fulledge Thin were worked at Bee Hole colliery.

Mine entries No The CA states that there are no known coal mine entries (shafts and within, or within 20 metres of, the boundary of the property. adits). They go on to state that records may be incomplete and there may exist in the local area mine entries of which the CA has no knowledge.

Coal Mining Yes No Risk Assessment Issue

Historical OS maps indicate that Bee Hole Colliery was located approximately 120 m north east of the site.

Coal mining No The CA is not aware of any evidence of damage arising due to geology geological faults or other lines of weakness that have been (fissures). affected by coal mining.

Record of past No There is no record of a mine gas emission requiring action by mine gas the CA within the boundary of the property. emissions. Recorded coal No The CA indicates that the property has not been subject to mining surface remedial works, by or on behalf of the Authority, under its hazard Emergency Surface Hazard Call Out procedures.

Surface mining No The CA indicates that the property is not within the boundary (opencast of an opencast site from which coal has been removed by workings) opencast methods.

Summary and Conclusions The site is located within a former mining area where past workings for coal from Bee Hole Colliery are known to be widespread. The CA interactive map identifies probable shallow coal mine workings adjacent to the northern edge of the site in the Low Bottom (Blindstone) Coal and also shows the outcrop of the Inferior Cannel Coal. Both coal seams are identified as development high risk areas.

For typical Coal Measures strata, it is generally accepted that there is a risk of surface instability where the thickness of competent bedrock above the worked coal seam is less than ten times the seam thickness.

The Low Bottom Coal was conjectured to subcrop approximately 20 m north of the northern site boundary and was worked from the Bee Hole Colliery. The Low Bottom Coal was 1.04 m thick and it is considered that insufficient rock cover exits above the Low Bottom Coal in proximity to the site. Whilst workings are indicated to extend away from the site, the accuracy of the data is uncertain and the north east corner infill could be underlain by workings.

The Inferior Cannel Coal, that is indicated to be 0.7 m thick, was not recorded on the abandoned mines plans and does not appear to have been worked from the Bee Hole Colliery. However, given the shallow depth of this coal, it is considered likely that this could have been worked from bell pits/ crop workings in the vicinity of the site.

For all other coal seams encountered at this site (including the Fulledge Thin and King Mine) it is considered that sufficient rock cover is present.

FS560612 Page 7 of 13 GEN001 – Issue 1

No mine entries are known to exist on site. However, given the underlying geology and historic development of the surrounding areas, and the shallow depth of up to two coal seams beneath the site (Inferior Cannel Coal and Fulledge Thin), the possibility of encountering unrecorded mine entries, bell pits and crop workings (not identified to date) cannot be fully discounted.

Inspection of historical OS plans has not revealed any evidence of quarrying or opencast workings beneath or within close (<100 m) proximity the site.

Mitigation Strategy Proposed Based on the data reviewed there is a potential risk arising from coal mining legacy from shallow workings in the Low Bottom (Blindstone) Coal and the Inferior Cannel Coal.

Therefore, we recommend that rotary probing is undertaken within the vicinity of the footprint of the proposed infill corner stands. The objective is to evaluate whether there is any evidence of historic coal mining such as soft ground, voids or loss of drilling flush (water).

We understand that the floodlight in the south east corner was constructed on deep pile foundations. There is a possibility that drilling was carried out to facilitate pile foundation design and this could mitigate this recommendation for the south east corner infill stand.

Further site inspection is recommended once the site strip has been completed to inspect the formation levels for signs of worked ground that could be indicative of infilled mine entries or bell pits. It is also recommended that all other excavations are examined for evidence of worked ground and if there is any evidence, advice regarding treatment/ foundation precautions should be sought immediately from a suitably qualified engineer.

The lighting stand recently installed in the south east corner of the site is likely to be constructed on piled foundations. There is a possibility that drilling into bedrock was undertaken to inform pile design and could mitigate the need for drilling in this part of the site.

All remedial works concerning shallow coal mining should be undertaken under an approved/current Coal Authority permit to disturb or enter coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries.

We trust the above coal mining risk assessment addresses your current needs. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Planning, Design & Access Statement - Turf Moor Accessibility | Feb 2018 page 18 Turf Moor | history

Burnley Football Club have played at Turf Moor since moving from their

Calder Vale ground in 1883.

The ground originally consisted of just a pitch and the first grandstand was not built until 1885. Six years after this, the ‘Star’ stand was erected and terracing was later added to the ends of the ground. After the Second World War, the stadium was redeveloped with all four stands being rebuilt. During the 1990s, the ground underwent further refurbishment when the Longside terrace and Bee Hole End terraces were replaced by all-seater stands.

It was one of the last remaining stadiums in England to have the players’ tunnel and dressing rooms behind one of the goals, until it was covered for seating in time for the 2014-15 Premier League season and rebuilt between the Ladbrokes and James Hargreaves stands.

Currently, the four stands at Turf Moor are the James Hargreaves

Stand (north), Jimmy McIlroy Stand (east), Bob Lord Stand (south) and

Ladbrokes Stand (west). The Ladbrokes stand was completed in 1969, whilst the Bob Lord stand was built in 1974. The newest stands (James and Hargreaves and Jimmy McIlroy stands) were opened in 1996.

On the 10th September 2015 the Premier League announced that it was committed to meeting the ‘Accessible Stadia’ document which was written and published in 2003 to support the work needed to meet the

DDA requirements for 2005.

Legislation

The Disabled Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) required service providers, including football clubs and their designers to make reasonable adjustments to physical barriers and services in existing and new stadia.

There have been ongoing complaints that not enough has been done by many sporting clubs to meet these obligations.

• The Equalities Act 2010 effectively replaced the DDA

• The equality duty was created by the Equality Act 2010 and

replaces the race, disability and gender equality duties. The

Equality Act simplifies, strengthens and harmonises current

legislation to provide a new discrimination law which protects

individuals from unfair treatment and promotes a fair and more

equal society.

The equality duty came into force in April 2011 and covers the following

The number of seats from table 4 needs to be met and also in BS8300 para 11.3.1 it refers to providing “a range of vantage points” for wheelchair users around the seated area. Also, in Accessible Stadia paragraph 2.14 “It is recommended that no more than 25% of wheelchair positions in totality should be at pitchside.” The purpose of this planning application is to help create one of a number of elevated position for fans at Goodison Park which will increase the choice of areas that they can view the pitch from.

This elevation is designed in conjunction with the sheltered queuing area to the ticket office, and the raised ground floor access to the Jimmy

McIlroy stand concourse.

The ticket office is signalled by a canopy with signage formed of standing letters that follows the horizontal datum of the existing cladding, and wraps around the corner to lead the visitors toward the entrances.

This canopy also forms the awning above the building’s recessed entrance and continues as a line above the perforated steel sheet panels along the Jimmy McIlroy stand.

The facade itself is split into three parts. The outer solid and opaque parts frame a lighter translucent box highlighting the entrance and the internal activity.

The ticket office doors are made of perforated steel sheet panels, they will remain open during the ticket office opening hours.

The entrance door is glazed, incorporated within a glazed wall, and features permanent contrasting manifestation, along with a contrasting frame, following guidance in BS8300.

The proposed development and internal works in the stands will create positions for an additional 117 wheelchair users and their companions.

The amount of disabled parking recommended by Accessible Stadia is 6% of the total parking provision (pg27). Turf Moor currently has ?? car-parking spaces for general spectators, and there are ?? designated disabled positions. This is ??% of the total positions and more than the

6% minimum recommended in Accessible Stadia. Therefore no extra designated disabled car parking spaces are required. The nearest car park is ??? This holds ?? disabled spaces for those who are seated in this area. On matchdays there is also a drop off point at ????. This drop off is within 50m recommended by Accessible Stadia (pg26) and will be used for the current and proposed positions.

In 1854 the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas and by 1896 it covered the whole of what were considered to be the cultivated parts of Great Britain. The published date given below is often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas.

Comments on Coal Authority information In view of the mining circumstances a prudent developer would seek appropriate technical advice before any works are undertaken. Therefore if development proposals are being considered, technical advice relating to both the investigation of coal and former coal mines and their treatment should be obtained before beginning work on site. All proposals should apply good engineering practice developed for mining areas. No development should be undertaken that intersects, disturbs or interferes with any coal or mines of coal without the permission of the Coal Authority. Developers should be aware that the investigation of coal seams/former mines of coal may have the potential to generate and/or displace underground gases and these risks both under and adjacent to the development should be fully considered in developing any proposals. The need for effective measures to prevent gases entering into public properties either during investigation or after development also needs to be assessed and properly addressed. This is necessary due to the public safety implications of any development in these circumstances. Information from the Cheshire Brine Subsidence Compensation Board The property lies outside the Cheshire Brine Compensation District.
