Minerals
Supporting Sustainable Mineral Development From Extraction to Restoration.
Mineral development is essential to delivering the UK’s infrastructure, housing and construction needs, but securing consents and maintaining compliance is becoming increasingly complex. Planning policy, technical requirements and restoration considerations must be carefully considered from the outset to avoid delay and reduce risk. We provide a strategic, end-to-end service that guides clients from early feasibility through to consent and beyond.
Minerals applications are subject to significant scrutiny. Our experienced team navigates the complex technical, regulatory and environmental challenges of mineral development to deliver effective, practical and commercially-sound solutions.
Our team of specialists coordinate and manage EIA screening and scoping, manage the commission and delivery of a wide range of supporting technical assessments, and integrate the findings of studies into clear, coherent and policy-compliant submissions. We work proactively with Mineral Planning Authorities and statutory consultees to resolve key issues early, maintain programme certainty and protect commercial objectives.
