Mining Survey
As I knew, there is a mine tunnel under the property. What the survey doesn’t pick out is that the entrance to this is at beach level which is 10’s of meters of rock etc. below the property.
The survey recommended a further site check for cracks etc. There are none that I can see! I spoke with the surveyor that would do this and he said that as the plan is to take down the current building, there is no point. He did recommend that a foundations inspection is done at that stage of the project. That makes sense, they can see a lot more from the foundation trenches etc. than the would be able to see from the current site and buildings (including from the neighbours.
Cornwall Council Survey
This did bring up a few interesting points:
- There is a (1970) restriction to permitted development preventing caravans on the property.
- This has since been removed by “my lawyer”.
- The full house address seems to be:
Silver Spray
Tregundy Lane
Droskyn Point
Perranporth
