1. Description

1.1 Keywords

Coal Mining, Underground, Mining Report, Ground Stability

1.2 Abstract

The Coal Mining Reporting Area, also known as CON29M Coal and Brine Consultation Areas, is the known extent of coal mining activity and is used to determine whether a coal mining report is required for property transactions and the conveyance process.

This area does not represent the full extent of geological coal reserves and resources.

1.3 Purpose

The Coal Mining Reporting Area is used to determine whether a coal mining report is required for property transactions and the conveyance process.

1.4 Supplementary Information

The National Coal Mining Database, which is based on the records held at The Coal Authority offices in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is updated on a regular basis.

This dataset has been extracted from this dynamic database on the date stated below and therefore represents a snapshot in time.
