This is an interesting proposal. The announcement is that coal will be banned for sale from Feb 2021, and unseasoned wood (moisture <20%) in packages smaller than 2 cubic m (*) from Jan 2024. So it will be anthracite or similar, dry wood, or have space to store it whilst it dries (challenge for posh inner London eg Fulham perhaps). Graphic below is a bit simplified (different emissions from different coal types). There is a Beeboid piece on it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51581817. It was announced by the Ag & Fish Minister. I am assuming this is devolved, so this would be England only. Sounds like a not bad idea - I think, though some dwellings may need upgrading. What a difference to the arguments that used to infuriate my dad as a Council Architect around 1970 when the argument against insulation and gas central heating from some ex-mining Councillors would be "we have infinite coal and many of us get it free for life from the NCB".

Hello. My wife and I are in the process of purchasing some land in Durham. As with most land up these parts, it's been mined, and there is a coal seam 11.5m down, 1m in depth. We have quotes to grout the land, one at 21k and one at 27k, however this is fixed price. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? And what foundations are suitable following this? Just a raft or trench? The bore hole report is attached if anyone reaaaalllly wants to help out ?. Thanks. Fern Meadows Bore Hole Report.pdf
