The most recent national and controversial issue in mining has been production of shale gas by a process colloquially known as “fracking”. or hydraulic fracturing. You may be a concerned owner wishing to know your rights or part of a group of land owners who wish to protect your real estate from this form of mining. Large parts of the UK may be affected and some already are. There are other mining issues such as those associated with the mining of coal.

At Tennyson we can advise upon –

  • compulsory purchase orders;
  • an owner’s right to compensation in respect of compulsory purchase;
  • a land owner’s rights to avoid exploitation to ensure that the land owner; receives a solution which gives him/or her best value;
  • Statutory codes such as the Infrastructure Act 2015;
  • Equitable remedies available at law and in equity; and
  • Other relevant case issues.

We accept instructions to advise and represent real estate owning individuals and companies by direct access on mines minerals and natural resources issues (see our public access pages for details of the public access scheme) or from solicitors on your behalf.
