Description
The proposed development site is located to the north east of Goldcrest Lane, off Cavendish Way in Clipstone, Nottinghamshire.
The Earth Resistance survey was carried out using a Geoscan Research RM15 resistance meter. Data was collected on an east-west alignment using zig-zag traverses, with a sample interval of 1m and a traverse interval of 1m. A total of 9 full or partial 30m by 30m grids were surveyed, totalling an area of approximately 0.6 Ha.
Both the magnetometer and earth resistance surveys have identified trends that correlate with the location of four known fissures in the site, identified through maps. The surveys have also identified concrete caps that cover at least one of the fissures / break lines.
Further trends have been identified in both the magnetometer and earth resistance survey which indicate the presence of features. These features could relate to further fissures, however they could also reflect the presence of field drains, small services, changes in the local geology or tree roots.
Further investigation would be required to definitively confirm the location and character of the fissures.
