Mineral Planning Permissions for England 1997-2007

This dataset provides digital spatial information on the extent of planning permissions for the extraction of minerals across Great Britain. The dataset shows the extent of all known extant and non-extant mineral planning permissions, irrespective of their current planning or operational status. Permissions may include active, inactive and restored mineral workings and, in some cases, permitted but unworked mineral deposits. Planning permission areas represent locations where a commercial decision to extract mineral has been made and where a successful application has been granted through the provisions of Town and Country Planning legislation. The permitted mineral reserve may have been depleted to varying degrees. The dataset was compiled by the British Geological Survey (BGS) using data supplied primarily by Mineral Planning Authorities and supplemented by other available sources. Data were collected at different times between 1997 and 2007. As a result, the dataset represents a historic snapshot of planning permissions and is not fully complete or current. Where available, information on the planning status of permissions (for example valid or expired) is stored in the underlying database and may be accessed through attribute queries. Current planning permission data should be obtained directly from the relevant Mineral Planning Authority. This dataset is intended to support regional and national-scale understanding of the distribution of mineral planning permissions and should not be used as a definitive or current record of permitted mineral extraction.

Statement: The dataset was compiled by the British Geological Survey (BGS) through the collation and digitisation of mineral planning permission boundary data supplied by Mineral Planning Authorities. Planning permission extents were captured from source datasets and documentation provided by local authorities and converted into a consistent digital GIS format. Attribute information was standardised where possible to allow regional and national compilation. The data were collected between 1997 and 2007. Due to variations in source data quality, completeness and update cycles between authorities, the dataset is not comprehensive and does not represent the current status of mineral planning permissions.
