Overview

The Coal Authority Subsidence Claims History report is a unique, bespoke report on the details of an individual subsidence claim.

The unique database has been created using thousands of individual claims, dating back to 1994 when the Coal Authority took over the managing of coal mining related subsidence claims.

The database is updated every 24 hours as new cases of subsidence are reported and progressed through inspection and determining whether the Coal Authority is liable for a claim.
