UK Coal Mining Chronology: Child and Parent Phases for Past, Current, and Future Mining

Coal mining phases from the UK's Mining Remediation Authority show the position and attributes of Child Phases and their relationship to Proposed Parent Phases. The dataset allows for reporting on past, current, and future mining activities. It was last updated on April 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling historical mining extents based on the reported chronology of Parent and Child Phases.
• Assessing future mining risks for land development based on the identification of future mining phases.
• Tracking the progression of mining remediation projects using the phase attributes held by the Authority.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority.
• Includes a temporal dimension for reporting past, current, and future mining.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to uk_data.
