Landslides dataset (5km Hex-Grid) version 7

The 5km Hex GS Landslides dataset shows a generalised view of the GeoSure Landslides v7 dataset to a hexagonal grid resolution of 64.95km coverage area (side length of 5km). This dataset indicates areas of potential ground movement in a helpful and user-friendly format. The rating is based on a highest level of susceptibility identified within that Hex area: Low (1), Moderate (2), Significant (3). Areas of localised significant rating are also indicated. The summarising process via spatial statistics at this scale may lead to under or over estimation of the extent of a hazard. The supporting GeoSure reports can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence. The methodology is based on the BGS Digital Map (DiGMapGB-50) and expert knowledge of the behaviour of the formations so defined. This dataset provides an assessment of slope instability. Landslide hazard occurs due to particular slope characteristics (such as geology, gradient, sources of water, drainage, man-made constructions) combining to cause the slope to become unstable. Downslope movement of materials, such as a landslide or rockfall may lead to a loss of support and damage to buildings. Complete Great Britain national coverage is available.

The methodology is based on the BGS Digital Map (DiGMapGB-50) and expert knowledge of the behaviour of the formations so defined. This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to compress under an applied load, a characteristic usually of superficial deposits such as peat or alluvium. Some types of ground may contain layers of very soft materials like clay or peat. These may compress if loaded by overlying structures, or if the groundwater level changes, potentially resulting in depression of the ground and disturbance of foundations. Complete Great Britain national coverage is available.

The supporting GeoSure reports can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence. The reports can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence. The Collapsible Ground dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to collapse (to subside rapidly) as a consequence of a metastable microfabric in loessic material. Such metastable material is prone to collapse when it is loaded (as by construction of a building, for example) and then saturated by water (as by rising groundwater, for example). Collapse may cause damage to overlying property. The methodology is based on the BGS Digital Map (DiGMapGB-50) and expert knowledge of the origin and behaviour of the formations so defined. It provides complete coverage of Great Britain, subject to revision in line with changes in DiGMapGB lithology codes and methodological improvements.

BGS Geosure Insurance Lenders Product v8 2025.3

The GeoSure Insurance and Lenders Product (GILP) provides the potential insurance risk due to natural ground movement. It incorporates the combined effects of the 6 GeoSure hazards on (low-rise) buildings: landslides, shrink-swell clays, soluble rocks, running sands, compressible ground, and collapsible deposits. These hazards are evaluated using a series of processes including statistical analyses and expert elicitation techniques to create a derived product that can be used for insurance purposes such as identifying and estimating risk and susceptibility. The evaluated hazards are then linked to a postcode database - the Derived Postcode Database (DPD), which is updated biannually with new releases of Ordnance Survey Code-Point® data (current version used: 2025.3). The GILP is provided for national coverage across Great Britain (not including the Isle of Man). This product is available in a range of GIS formats including Access (*.dbf), ArcGIS (*.shp) or MapInfo (*.tab) on request. The GILP is produced for use at 1:50 000 scale providing 50 m ground resolution.

Mining hazard (not including coal) 1km hex grid version 7

The 1km Hex Mining Hazard (Not Including Coal) v7 dataset shows areas of known underground mining (Not Including Coal), identified with an indication of the level of hazard associated for each site. The presence of former underground workings, particularly where shallow, may collapse and cause surface settlement which is used to identify potential hazard at each site. The rating is based on a Low (limited mining known to have occurred) to High (underground mining is known to have occurred) scale. The dataset covers areas of known underground working in Great Britain. The coverage is not comprehensive as areas with no evidence of underground working are unclassified. Underground extraction of minerals and rocks has taken place in Great Britain for more than 5000 years. This dataset draws together a range of diverse information; the geology, the primary constraint on distribution; additional information sourced from published literature and knowledge from BGS experts. Derived from the original MiningHazardNotIncludingCoalGB_v7 dataset, this layer generalises these data into a Hex grid format, with an effective hexagonal grid resolution of 2.6km coverage area (side length of 1km). The dataset was created to provide a comprehensive overview of Great Britain's long and complicated mining legacy. It provides essential information for planners and developers working in areas where former underground mine workings may have occurred. Also for anyone involved in the ownership or management of property, including developers, householders and local government.

BGS Metallic Minerals of Wales

This dataset provides digital spatial information on the location and distribution of metallic mineral occurrences in Wales at a scale of 1:50 000. While the broader term ‘mineral resources’ encompasses a wide range of geological materials, this dataset focuses solely on metallic minerals. These are defined in accordance with international mineral resource standards to include both geological characteristics and potential economic considerations. The dataset is based primarily on mapped geology, with limited assessment of economic viability, and is intended to show the distribution and extent of metallic mineral occurrences rather than potential extraction areas or mineral reserves. The Welsh Assembly Government recognised the importance of managing mineral resources at a national level to maintain an appropriate balance between mineral supply and demand. In response, the British Geological Survey (BGS) was commissioned in 2009 (contract 252/2009/09) to provide a comprehensive and accessible information base to support sustainable mineral resource management across the 25 Unitary and Mineral Planning Authorities of Wales. This work formed part of the National Minerals Map of Wales and Aggregate Safeguarding Map of Wales, funded through the Welsh Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund and co-funded by the BGS Sustainable Mineral Solutions project. This metallic minerals dataset is a thematic subset of the wider Welsh mineral resources dataset and was derived using the same methodology. Data production was completed in 2010, with minor revisions to geometry and attributes undertaken in 2020. The dataset enables users to visualise broad patterns in the distribution of metallic mineral occurrences across Wales and to consider their spatial relationship with other land-use designations, infrastructure, environmental constraints and conservation data. It is suitable for regional-scale planning and safeguarding assessments but does not indicate economically viable reserves, designate extraction areas, or confer planning status. Only onshore mainland occurrences are included. The data quality varies spatially and reflects the availability and resolution of underlying geological mapping. The presence of a metallic mineral occurrence does not imply current working, planning permission, or economic viability. Point data for metallic mineral occurrences have historically been included within related resource mapping; however, occurrence-level information is more comprehensively represented in other BGS datasets, such as the BGS BritPits database of mines and quarries. This dataset should therefore be used as a regional-scale spatial planning and safeguarding tool rather than as a definitive inventory of all recorded metallic mineral sites in Wales.
