Summary

The coal mining licence area dataset shows the position for each License Area relating to both underground, opencast and underground coal gasification as taken from the information held by the Authority, and includes a number of attributes relating to that feature.

Note: This dataset should be looked at in conjunction with the Unlicensed Opencast dataset in regard to pre 1994 opencast operations.

Note: This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Licence Table dataset to ensure that Licence Areas are reported fully.

In November 2024, the Coal Authority changed its name to the Mining Remediation Authority to better reflect its mission and continued commitment to environmental sustainability, safety, and community support.
