Coal Mining Monitoring Points

Monitoring points consist of a variety of sites throughout the UK at which environmental data are gathered by the Authority. The types of data collected include water level, mine gas concentration,...

Coal mining parent phase

The coal mining parent phase data set records the chronology of an underground working (Proposed or Actual). A Parent Phase will typically start life as Proposed and as Coal is extracted over a...

Geological disturbances which may have been affected by coal mining

The dataset details types of geological disturbances which may have been affected by coal mining. It shows the best plot position for each geological fault, fissure and break line based on...

Probable coal workings

The probable coal workings dataset contains the locations and estimated extents of probable underground coal workings for which no recorded plan exists, but where it is possible that workable coal...

Unlicensed opencast coal mining

The Unlicensed Opencast dataset contains the locations and extents of pre Coal Authority worked opencast sites i.e. as worked by National Coal Board/British Coal. Note: This dataset should be...

Licence Areas

Upon privatisation of the coal industry in 1994, The Coal Authority was set up to take over a number of British Coal’s responsibilities; however these did not include the physical extraction of...

Coal mining court orders

In parts of the country, the High Court may have issued an order allowing a mine owner or mining operator to work coal where no previous mining lease was in existence. The Court may also have made...

Surface Coal Mining

Surface Mining Areas denote an area of coal extracted by surface excavations in the past or are being excavated currently, these sites do not necessarily reflect the extent of the excavation. Coal...
