If the subsidence monitoring detects that subsidence has occurred, the Mineral Planning Authority shall be notified. If the level of subsidence is such that it might cause such damage to buildings, infrastructure, drainage or flood defences that might compromise their function any Mineral Extraction within 1.5 km of the subsidence measured on a horizontal plane shall cease as soon as possible and within no more than one month of the monitoring taking place. No more than 8 weeks after subsidence is detected a Subsidence Remediation Strategy shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Mineral Planning Authority.
