Mine and quarry

Investigating the influence of settlement pattern and morphology on the sterilisation of shallow coal resources

Undertaken on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government (now Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government), this study assessed the impact on shallow coal resources of using separation zones around urban areas.

Main Report: http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/corporate/pdf/2218999.pdf

Appendices 1-3: http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/corporate/pdf/2219824.pdf

Appendices 4-6: http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/corporate/pdf/2219827.pdf

Summary of information on coal for land-use planning purposes

This report brings together data on coal production, trade, consumption and uses, and provides information on licensing and reserves. It also summarises information on opencast coal sites granted and refused planning permissions and coal exploitation by methods other than conventional deep and shallow mining.
