Coal Extraction
With increasing worldwide pressures on energy supply, the coal extraction industry in the UK continues to move forward, with many operators searching for new opencast coal reserves to supplement the country's energy stocks.
Our Chartered Minerals Surveyors have many years experience working alongside the coal industry, offering services such as:
- site finding, planning appraisals, and GIS mapping
- negotiations for acquisition through purchase or mineral lease
- valuations for all purposes, including sale, non-domestic rates and taxation
- preparation of full planning applications and environmental impact assessments for large scale coal developments
