Postcode Search

Enter your postcode to check whether or not you are in a Kaolin (china clay) or Ball Clay area.

The Postcode Search service provided on this page allows an initial assessment of whether a property is in an area that may be affected by kaolin or ball clay development.

If the Postcode Search reveals that a search is recommended it is necessary to submit an A4 plan showing the location of the property, together with the appropriate fee to obtain a specific report, as shown below. Incorrect cheques will be returned and the search deferred until the correct payment is received. There is no facility to undertake searches on-line.

Please note:

The search service is intended to reveal information that would not be available through examination of your deeds or the usual local authority searches. The search is carried out with reference to material in the possession of or available to the respective companies at the time of the search. From this material they endeavour to give as accurate a report as possible. However neither the Association nor the respective companies can accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions there may be with respect to those records.
