ABOUT US

Rural Arisings was established in 2002 in response to the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA), Part II.

The principal activity of the company is that of the bespoke environmental (recreational, ecological, agricultural and amenity) enhancement of sites by innovative recycling and/or recovery of soil, rubble, tyre and green wastes. Rural Arisings is both a management contractor and a design/regulatory specialist consultant within the Green Engineering sector.

In certain circumstances, Rural Arisings can arrange funding of the construction works.

Our Services include the arrangement of all Planning and other Statutory Consents/Approvals including:

· Planning Applications
· Waste Management Licences

Rural Arisings in-house ecologists can provide a full suite of ecological services for the duration of any restoration project. The services provided include:

· Habitat and Protected Species Surveys
· Environmental Impact Assessments
· Protected Species Mitigation
· Habitat Restoration/Creation.
· These services can also be provided independent of a site restoration project.

Rural Arisings works in partnership with local authorities, NGOs and charities as well as private landowners. An example of one of our projects is Church Marshes Country Park in Sittingbourne, Kent.

Church Marshes Country Park is a former landfill site that ceased being used in the early 1970s. At the time the regulations regarding the restoration of landfill sites were not as stringent as the present day. As a result the site was not sufficiently capped at the time and this has resulted in contamination making it unsafe for use by the General Public.

Rural Arisings are now working with Swale Borough Council, the current landowner, and Groundwork Medway Swale to resolve the contamination issue and convert the site into a useable Country Park. Once the works have been completed features of the Park will include, Wild Flower Meadows, Great Crested Newt Breeding Ponds, Reptile Habitat, Picnic Areas, and a Children’s Play Area.
