Mining, quarrying and extraction, checked for you 24/7

Permits, licences and consents, the day they move.

Extraction consents, restoration conditions, planning decisions and environmental determinations sit across a dozen authorities. None of them tell you.

ReachSpot reads them all, works out which touch your sites, your minerals or your competitors, and tells you what changed.

Including the one granted next door to somebody else.

Free, and before anything else. No card, no account, and it runs on your own record rather than a demonstration.

What we read for you

The records behind every match, named.

These are the sources ReachSpot reads for mining, quarrying and extraction. Not a roadmap and not everything that exists: what is connected and running. Where a stream covers less ground than its name suggests, it says so here rather than in a footnote.

Sources ReachSpot reads for Mining, quarrying and extraction
Environment AgencyEngland

Permits, variations and enforcement action at extraction and processing sites, including your competitors'.

Enforcement action taken against permit holders and operators, and the registers of permitted sites.

London Planning DatahubGreater London

Determinations in the London boroughs, where minerals and waste applications are decided.

Planning applications and decisions across the London boroughs, as they are determined.

Worth knowing. This is the planning footprint ReachSpot reads today. There is no usable national feed of UK planning applications, so outside London the Property stream has nothing to give you yet, and we would rather say that than let you find out.

Companies HouseUnited Kingdom

Charges and officer changes at operators, which usually precede a site changing hands.

Every incorporation, charge, officer change, PSC change and insolvency case, pushed as it is filed.

The GazetteUnited Kingdom

Operators entering administration, and the statutory notices around it.

The official public record: corporate insolvency notices, appointments and statutory notices.

Find a TenderUnited Kingdom

Aggregate supply, restoration and haulage packages put out by public buyers.

UK public procurement notices, in the open contracting standard.

Worth knowing. Recorded Find a Tender notices only. Not a claim of complete UK procurement coverage.

Every match keeps its original record. If we cannot show you why something reached you, we do not send it.

What this looks like

Four months. Four things nobody would have sent you.

An aggregates operator with three sites and a restoration deadline on one of them.

  1. Day one A competitor four miles away changes their site permit to handle a material you also process. Their capacity is going up. Environment Agency
  2. Week five The same competitor borrows money and appoints a new director. Sites change hands like this long before anyone advertises them. Companies House
  3. Month three A council advertises a contract to supply aggregate. You are the closer plant, which usually decides it. Find a Tender
  4. Month eight A haulier you rely on files for winding up. Your restoration deadline does not move because of it. The Gazette

A competitor expanding, a site possibly for sale, a contract you can win, and a haulier you need to replace. All four were public the day they happened.

An example of what these sources can show a business like this one. Not a real customer and not a measured result.

What a match looks like

One record, and the reason it reached you.

An illustration of the shape a match takes. Not a live result.

What happened

A permit variation recorded at a processing site

Why you got it

The site is within your operating radius and the variation concerns a material you handle.

What it carries

The operator, the permit reference, what changed, the determination date, and the register entry.

What it costs

£249 a month. Everything included.

Eight streams run against your record whether you read them or not, so there is nothing cheaper to drop to and nothing to add on later. Your home market is in the price. Cancel any month.

Yearly is £2,490, which is ten months rather than twelve and keeps £498 in your account.

Questions mining, quarrying and extraction ask

Answered straight, including the awkward ones.

Do you read minerals planning outside London?

No. The London Planning Datahub is the planning feed ReachSpot reads, and there is no national one to read. For a sector whose applications sit with county and unitary minerals authorities, that is a real limitation and we would rather you knew it now.

What about restoration conditions?

Where they appear in an Environment Agency register entry or a London determination, yes. Conditions held only in a county authority's own back office are not readable today.

Can I watch specific competitors?

Yes. Name them and their filings, charges, appointments and insolvency notices come through as they are published. That is the Rivals stream, in the same price.

Is Scotland covered?

Not for permits. The Environment Agency covers England; SEPA is not a source ReachSpot reads. Companies House, the Gazette and Find a Tender are UK-wide.

Put your company number in. We read your record, check the last thirty days against it, and show you what you could have gone for. It takes about thirty seconds and it costs nothing.
