Hi , We’re looking at Godregraig School for NPTCBC; and have asked if you can implement an inspection of the tips above as shown on our plan (too large to email): https://my.sharepoint.com/matt_earthsciencepartnership_com They want something similar to what was produced for Pantteg – can you provide a cost to us for this? NPTCBC want us to engage you and incorporate findings into our geomorphological work. We’re under a bit of time pressure to complete our report in 3-4 weeks. If there’s any problems let me know. Kind regards,

Hi We’ve been asked to carry out another site inspection for NPT but this time through their consultants (ESP – see email below). It’s a day of my time and a day for – can you price it up with the current rates please. An email to them setting out costs and our standard T&C’s will be sufficient. They’d like a price for the end of this week, and I’ve provisionally pencilled in next Wednesday to do the inspection. The site is series of quarry tips at Godregraig, near Ystalyfera and the report will feed into a wider piece of work that ESP are doing for the council. The work is exactly the same as that which we’ve already been doing for NPT. Thanks

Who will the costs need to go and who is paying the bill? If its NPT then that would be quicker as I have got an account set up if its their consultants then it may take longer (if not set up). XXXX is doing the internal docs which need signing off by Richard Bond, which she will chase tomorrow. Cheers

RB signing the docs off now; will scan and send over to you both along with saving the signed copy in the BD folder on the shared drive.

Hi Both Please find attached our signed Acceptance form on behalf of NPT CBC, for an inspection of tips above Godre’r Graig School for the agreed sum of £855 plus VAT. Our Desk Study (which includes an aerial photo Interpretation exercise with stereopairs suggests that there is two coal tips above Godre’r Graig School, and one a little further down the valley as per the attached plan, we trust that the visit will visually inspect these three tips/features and report accordingly. Prior to the site works, would it be possible for you to send over site specific risk assessment and method statements for the walkover please? Any invoices for the work should quote PO number 8094 as this will help process them and clear them for payment faster.

Hi Please see attached RAMS for the inspection. I visited site yesterday to carry out a recce and note that access is only available via third party ownership. Could you mark the exact locations for inspection on your plan please – my proposed access route is attached. Can you please confirm that permission has been gained to access via the following registered titles: WA73104 WA70942 Also, is the western quarry (Cwar Pentwyn) registered land ? During my visit yesterday, it was apparent that recent tipping and quarrying has been taking place here (see attached photos) and the site is clearly owned by somebody. On confirmation I will undertake the inspection as soon as possible. Regards

Hi , Thanks for the RAMS, Ann as recently sent through some forms for the Coal Authority to become an ESP Approved Supplier and we need this done prior to your visit please. We received that attached land ownership plan from NPT. As you can see, parts are unregistered, including Cwar Pentwyn, but an owner may come out of the woodwork during our work up there. NPTCBC have written to WA73104 & WA70942 telling them that we would be looking to undertake an inspection. Just for your info too, CYM25613 is owned by NPTCBC. CYM625348 was owned by Gerald Morris who has passed away. NPTCBC were in touch with his family previously as he used to own most of Pantteg slip and they are ok with us inspecting the land. I’ve attached an annotated plan, labelling the tips identified from the aerial photographs 1 to 3. Could you inspect all…
