Between 2001 and 2003 the BGS received approximately 1400 1:25 000 scale paper maps and associated card index from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (now Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)). The maps, originally compiled by the Minerals Division of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG), (DCLGs historic predecessor), contain hand drawn boundaries for permitted, withdrawn and refused mineral planning permissions, and worked ground in England. These ‘MHLG’ maps show mineral planning information collated from the 1940s (retrospectively to 1930) to the mid 1980s. The index cards provide supplementary information regarding name, operator, dates and relevant local planning authority.

In 2006 BGS obtained the equivalent maps, 200 in number, for Wales from the Welsh Assembly Government. However, the associated card index file no longer exists.

Attempts have been made to find the equivalent MHLG maps for Scotland. However, these have been unsuccessful.

The variable completeness of the datasets should be kept in mind when this material is being used. The principal aim of the data is to show areas of land that have received or been refused permission for the extraction of minerals.

Other datasets that are currently under development include:

=== Historic land use ===

This dataset has been extracted from the same MHLG source map and indicates the land use present at each site.

Categories include:

· derelict areas,

· restored quarries (filled and unfilled),

· tip heaps

· spoil heaps

· wet areas.

The principle aim of the data is to show land use present in areas of land that have been affected by the extraction of minerals.

=== BritPits ===

The BritPits (an abbreviation of British Pits, and the word 'pits' is used here to include both surface quarries and underground mines) database holds information on:

· name of active mines and quarries

· geographic location

· address

· operator

· mineral planning authority

· geology

· mineral commodities produced

· end-uses where known

authority information had been updated recently but other areas had not been visited for many years.

The dataset contains a significant number of overlapping polygons where multiple applications have been made in the same area. These may represent resubmissions for the same area, later revised submissions or requests for surface workings at former underground locations. It should be noted that overlapping polygon boundaries may be coincident in size and extent but in many cases they are not.

The dataset does not give any indication of areas where later applications to work have been made or approved.
