Provides information relating to planning permissions granted for mineral extraction and associated facilities and historic land use associated with permitted, withdrawn and refused mineral planning permission sites.

Derived from paper maps originally compiled by the Minerals Division of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG). Contains hand-drawn boundaries showing mineral related planning permissions and land use collated from 1930 to the mid-1980s with supplementary information for name, operator, dates and relevant local planning authority.

Note: Details for subsequent applications, resubmissions or later reworking (e.g. opencast reworking of waste tips) should be obtained from Local Authority Mineral Planning Departments.
