Minerals Planning Specialists
Providing Expert Planning Support to the Quarrying Industry
Minerals make an essential contribution to modern life, underpinning how we live, work, travel and even what we eat.
The mineral extraction industry provides employment and produces a wide range of products for a variety of purposes in construction, agriculture and industry.
The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland (SPPS) acknowledges that that ‘Minerals, including valuable minerals, are an important natural resource and their responsible exploitation is supported by Government. The minerals industry makes an essential contribution to the economy and to our quality of life, providing primary minerals for construction, such as sand, gravel and crushed rock, and other uses, and is also a valued provider of jobs and employment,particularly in rural areas.’
A successful local quarrying industry means raw materials come to local projects sooner and more cheaply, lowering the cost of construction and supporting jobs.
Quarrying is an essential part of modern society and aggregates are a vital resource for economic growth and development, making a significant contribution to prosperity and quality of life not least in helping to create and develop sustainable communities.
