Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

  • Who asked for 'Mining and ground stability' data?

    The Geospatial Commission has published a list of 65 open datasets that they believe are used during the housing and planning process. This includes Mining and ground stability data.

  • What is the driver for the request?

    Other

  • Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

    • Modern planning software

  • What is the 'Mining and ground stability' consideration?

    This planning consideration identifies potential ground stability hazards from mining activities.

  • Is there legislation that defines 'Mining and ground stability'?

    Yes

    • What is the legislation that defines 'Mining and ground stability'?

      The Mines Regulations 2014

    • What is the specific part of the legislation that describes how a 'Mining and ground stability' gets designated?

      Part 3, Section 32

    • What is the specific part of the legislation that requires the publication of 'Mining and ground stability'?

      Part 3, Section 32

  • Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Mining and ground stability'?

  • Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

    • The Coal Authority

  • Is the Mining and ground stability a trigger?

    Yes

    • What needs to be done because Mining and ground stability has acted as the trigger?

      A mining and land stability assessment, a coal mining risk assessment

  • Is the Mining and ground stability something to consult during plan making?

    Yes

    • Provide information about when Mining and ground stability is used during plan making

      Mining and ground stability is important to know during the plan-making stages, and is likely to be captured during site assessments through the site allocation process, to ensure that sites aren't allocated on unsuitable land.

  • Is there any Mining and ground stability data already available?

    Yes

  • Do we think the data should come from a single source?

    Yes

  • Will a data standard be required?

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

    This dataset allows both homeowners, and developers to identify if properties, or sites are affected by coal mining, in a high risk area, or whether coal and mine entries on or near the surface.

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Mining and ground stability data?
