Minerals planning

Regulated by the RICS. The mark of property professionalism worldwide.

We undertake ground investigations and feasibility assessment for new schemes, prepare planning and permitting applications, operational and restoration plans and also engage in regulatory negotiation on the full range of environmental matters.

Today’s rigorous planning system demands a thorough and coordinated approach to minerals planning and an understanding of public concerns, regulator objectives and developer functions and limitations. We work to ensure close links with industry specialists to deliver all encompassing, practical and commercially viable solutions for each project.

Our services include:

  • Site investigation and feasibility assessments.
  • Regulator liaison.
  • Research and market studies to support new planning applications and those for reviewing old permissions.
  • Working plans, restoration schemes and topographic survey.
  • Environmental impact assessment and project management.
  • Planning and permit applications.
