Abstract
Abstract This review compares and contrasts opencast coal-mining, dolomite quarrying and an open pit tungsten proposal with the planning impacts which affect new underground coal-mines. Deep-mining is emphasised in view of its past widespread effects in urban areas of Britain. Papers in the session on mining subsidence, long-term quarry slopes and sand and gravel construction materials are also considered in the context of the present planning system.
