Minerals
Supporting Sustainable Mineral Development From Extraction to Restoration.
Quarries and other extractive sites play a vital role in supporting the UK’s infrastructure and construction needs. At Technia Environment and Planning Limited, we provide expert planning, permitting and drainage support across the full lifecycle of mineral operations, from securing new permissions to restoring worked sites for long-term environmental and community benefit.
Our experienced team navigates the complex technical, regulatory and environmental challenges of mineral development to deliver effective, practical solutions that keep your projects on track. With increasing pressure on primary reserves, recycled materials play an increasingly vital role. We assist operators in obtaining planning and environmental permits for Aggregate Recycling Plants, facilitating the transformation of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste into valuable secondary aggregates.
We lead the preparation and submission of minerals planning applications for new sites, extensions, and updates to historic permissions such as Interim Development Orders (IDOs). Collaborating closely with clients, we craft robust planning strategies tailored to site-specific constraints, regulatory requirements and operational goals.
Our comprehensive services include coordinating essential technical studies, noise, transport, hydrology and dust, integrating them into clear, cohesive planning submissions. Where required, we manage Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), screening and scoping exercises, and condition discharges to ensure smooth progress from concept through to approval.
