It is with great privilege that we can announce that MJCA together with Breedon Group plc (Niall Kelly, Kris Furness) and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust have had ‘North Cave Wetlands’ shortlisted as an RTPI (Denise O’Toole) project for Planning Excellence 2023 – Best Project, which recognises projects that improve the natural environment through conservation, enhancement, or restoration.

MJCA’s Technical Director of Planning Laura Cherry has worked at the quarries in North Cave providing planning and environmental support since she was a graduate at MJCA over 20 years ago and has seen the site expand and mature to the amazing site it is today which provides nature on the doorstep of the local community and is a special site in the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust portfolio.

We are thrilled to see a minerals project listed and gain some recognition for the hard work so many people have put in over the years.

In common with most other people and organisations, the restrictions associated with the Covid-19 virus have meant we have had to adapt our systems and procedures to make sure that we can continue to provide safely and effectively the systems and technology for our staff to work remotely and to provide the support and services that our clients need and expect.

We are all contactable through our usual email addresses, the main phone line and mobile phones.  In accordance with the latest Government advice we will be using remote alternatives to meetings and site visits except where site visits are essential and can be carried out safely in accordance with the PHE and Government guidelines as well as our own risk assessments.

Meanwhile, we shall all work to stay safe and await the return of some form of normality.
