Our team of minerals specialists continue to provide complete property services to the minerals industry and those with an interest in minerals. To our clients, we offer a wealth of skills, extensive experience and we represent minerals operators, landowners, institutions, public organisations and statutory bodies throughout the United Kingdom. Our considerable experience encompasses aggregates, dimension stone, industrial minerals, coal, oil and gas, and we are familiar with both underground and surface extraction techniques.

As with industrial properties, the most contentious parts of any existing or proposed mineral workings are the perceived and actual environmental effects of the operation. Considerable experience has shown that these issues must be fully appreciated at the conceptual design stages if they are to be overcome when examined by Statutory Consultees, members of the public and planning committees. Often minerals planning applications involve a full environmental impact assessment, which require careful management in order to avoid controversy. Our clients have found our assistance to be invaluable throughout the whole planning and assessment process, and have enjoyed the benefits of our involvement.

Our clients have also enjoyed the range of development services we offer. Long-term strategic advice is essential to the future of mineral workings and we can make the necessary representations at all levels. Our comprehensive range of services also includes geological investigation, valuation, contract negotiation, sales and acquisition, marketing, and afteruse advice. We have experience that ranges from small scale reservoir development to projects involving many millions of tonnes so we are able to match your requirements with our skills.

The estates management of existing minerals properties is fundamental; however, it can sometimes be overlooked. Our team has a thorough knowledge, coupled with tremendous experience of minerals estates management, which allows us to advise at all levels. We frequently advise on rent/royalty reviews, litigation, trespass, footpath diversions and, smaller planning applications, and we can ensure that landowners receive the correct payments and on time.

Whether you are an existing operator, landowner, institution or interested party our expertise can help you achieve your goals.
