The Planning, Regional and Minerals Directorate was established in 1974, the result of a merger of the Planning, Regional Development Directorate and the Planning, Minerals and Countryside Directorate.
Prior to 1951, these responsibilities were probably exercised by a Planning Division in the Ministry of Town and Country Planning. From 1951 until approximately 1967 these functions were carried out by Minerals Division; from around 1967 to 1969 by the Countryside Division in the Ministry of Housing and Local Government; and then from about 1969 to 1971 by Planning Division C which became part of the newly created Department of the Environment in 1970. It is unclear which division had responsibility between 1972 and 1974 but it is possible that it was the Planning, Minerals and Countryside Division.
The newly formed directorate was responsible for regional economic policy, policy and legislation on minerals for both constructional and non-constructional use, and the reclamation of derelict land.
In 1977 the directorate's responsibilities were split between the newly created Development Plans and Regional Policy Directorate and New Towns and Minerals Planning Directorate.
