Minerals and Waste Management Planning

Planning for minerals sites and waste management facilities is one of our core areas of business at Stephenson Halliday. Our staff have considerable experience of the minerals and waste management industries and have worked with our existing clients to realise their business development ambitions. We have worked on a diverse range of projects from modest extensions of small building stone quarries to major proposals requiring full Environmental Impact Assessment. In addition to our private sector clients we have also worked with local authorities to provide services for both minerals and waste management proposals. For details of our latest areas of work please visit out project pages for minerals and waste management.
We have a very high success rate with our planning applications for both minerals sites and waste management facilities. The basis of this success is the careful development of proposals working with clients, local authorities and local communities to achieve acceptable solutions. We offer a full range of planning consultancy services from initial project feasibility appraisals, through the preparation and submission of applications and appeals to submission of representations on policy documents.
