Abstract
Abstract: As a result of several decades of growing environmental awareness, pressures to restrict mining activity in areas of high scenic and recreational value are great. The development of planning law, and legislation for National Parks, are outlined as a framework for current mineral policies in this country, which highlight the fact that at present, almost any area in Britain could theoretically be mined, i.e. few areas are actually banned from mineral working. This contrasts with the situation in the USA where considerable acreages, especially in the Western States, are either covered by absolute bans, or are heavily restricted from mining activity. Should some areas of Britain become similarly off-limits to mining, possible implications include increased deficits in the balance of payments, reduced reliability of mineral supplies to industry, adverse social effects on a local scale, and, on the advantageous side, more efficient use of recycled waste and other alternative sources of materials. Taking all these into account, it is concluded that a ban on mining in some areas would be a dangerously short-sighted, inflexible and irreversible step, and a more moderate approach is required, while the need to protect highly valued areas is recognised as being very important.
