This dataset represents the modelled thickness in metres of the Permian and lower Triassic sandstones in the Cheshire (Collyhurst Sandstone Formation, CS) and Worcester (Bridgnorth Sandstone Formation, BS) basins, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal resource potential. Isopach maps for the other Permo-Triassic basins (Eastern England and Wessex) are not considered as a viable geothermal resource because of the limited porosity and transmissivity of the reservoirs, and were not modelled. This dataset is derived from Rollin, K. E., G. A. Kirby, and W. J. Rowley. Atlas of geothermal resources in Europe: UK revision. British Geological Survey technical report WK/95/7, Regional Geophysics Group, 1995: https://webapps.bgs.ac.uk/data/publications/publication.html?id=21735106 and the European Geothermal Atlas (https://op.europa.eu/publication-detail/-/publication/9003d463-03ed-4b0e-87e8-61325a2d4456).
