Means everything because the coal outcrop which runs from Tamworth to Binley goes right through Vale view and was mined for centuries as the coal was near the surface. There are many, many filled in mine shafts which worked the outcrop coal. Not only that the major collieries in that location which I have named also worked the area and the roadways were extensive.
Stanley brothers purchased Nuneaton new colliery in 1877 and had worked it out by 1900. All developments in our area are subject to mining reports.
The vale view site would be developable with modern techniques but he biggest hurdle will be getting planning permission as the site is hemmed in on all sides bar the northern edge with housing and busy roads. I’ll be absolutely amazed if there isn’t a very noisy opposition once the locals hear about the proposal- and their local councillors will fight to the death to support them as they always do. The site is suitable with regard to location and space available but as history has shown regarding Boro relocations- the natives are always . anything but accepting. A football ground is considered noisy and antisocial and many living near Manor park were relieved when it went.
We’ll see.
