Primarily a map-based site, it is intended as a decision-support
system for land-use planning at the local and regional
scale.

Users can select and display spatial data on mineral resources (including coal and hydrocarbons), mineral planning permissions (licences) (in England only) , as well as land-use and environmental designations.
Information related to individual sites can be displayed and
users can ‘drill-down' to obtain all information held on a
point location.
The site provides a large amount of text-based background information
on individual mineral resources in the region concerned, as
well as more information on mineral planning permissions and
other land-use and environmental designations.
Also available for the East Midlands Region is an ‘Environmental
Sensitivity' map. This gives the user a strategic overview
of the environmental and cultural assets in the region. For
more information on this feature click

The display of some of these data is scale dependent. However, detailed
digital maps and associated attribute information for mineral
resources and mineral planning permissions shown on this site
are available under licence from the British Geological Survey. For
