(Redacted) I would like to express to you that these planned works have caused me great worry and uncertainty due to the potential damage that could be caused to my fragile property. I am hesitant to agree to any such excavation works within my sub soil boundary, as my property relies on this substrate. Removal of this material, without correct support, could cause my property to collapse. I am still awaiting assurance that all steps will be taken to safeguard my property, however, I have only received various generic response letters which does not resolve all of the concerns I have. It must be noted that this property is possibly one of the most vulnerable structures that will be within immediate proximity to these proposed excavation works, and therefore needs to be dealt with tentatively. I do appreciate the need for these works to proceed, and I am not averse to them, but, I do need a personal detailed response from you to explain how any excavations will be conducted directly outside of my property, as well as a method of works plan. Once I have received these, I will then pass them onto my appointed structural engineer for perusal. I have provided a contact number, however, I would prefer all communication to be documented, so, therefore I would greatly appreciate an emailed response. Thank you in advance for your attention.
