AB  - Discusses the 1984 study review by the Department of the
Environment of existing knowledge regarding landslipping in Great
Britain. Reviews the background to the study and presents some of the
general results. Concludes that knowledge of landslide distribution,
character and significance remain surprisingly poor, that old (ancient)
landslides are much more widely distributed in the landscape than
previously thought, and that such old features present an important
potential threat to buildings and structures because they can be
reactivated if disturbed. Suggests that heightened perception of
landslide hazard will lead to greater consideration of ground stability
prior to developments, including increased use of various types of
survey techniques that exist, and delimit areas of actual and potential
instability.
