Mineral Resource Assessments

 

A Minerals Resource Assessment (MRA) provides a clear evaluation of the mineral safeguarding constraints affecting a site, ensuring developments do not unnecessarily sterilise valuable resources. Which is a requirement set out under the National and Local Planning Policy. 

 

 

 

Minerals are essential to the UK’s built environment from concrete and brick manufacture to road construction and energy infrastructure. However, they are finite resources, and the careful management of mineral safeguarding is a key requirement under national and local planning policy. A Minerals Resource Assessment (MRA) ensures proposed developments do not unnecessarily sterilise valuable mineral deposits and that planning applications meet the requirements of the local Mineral Planning Authority (MPA). 

As a Geo-Environmental Consultancy, we provide comprehensive Mineral Resouce Assessment services that help developers, planners, and landowners progress applications smoothly while ensuring compliance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and local minerals safeguarding protocols. 

If you require a Minerals Resource Assessment to support your planning application, our team are happy to help.
