Minerals and restoration

A worked-out quarry is both a liability and an opportunity. We secure the planning and permits to restore it, often by backfilling with imported materials, and plan its end use.

What we do

  • Mineral planning applications and extensions
  • Restoration and aftercare schemes
  • Permits for importing inert and other materials for backfill
  • Recovery and deposit-for-recovery permits
  • End-use planning for restored land
