Environmental Permitting

Activities at commercial or industrial installations that have the potential to cause polluting emissions must have a permit to operate. The Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 requires that processes identified in this Act, or by the Regulations made under this Act, must have a permit to operate. For more information please visit the DEFRA website (opens new window).

The activities which require a permit can be found in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (opens new window).

This system of regulation is a three tiered regime:

  1. IPPC - Integrated pollution prevention control covers Part A1 installations which are regulated by the Environment Agency.
  2. LA-IPPC - Local Authority integrated pollution prevention control covers Part A2 installations which are regulated by local authorities.
  3. LAPPC - Local Authority Pollution Prevention and control which covers smaller activities known as Part B installations.

Operators of installations which come under the permitting regime must have a permit to operate. Local Authorities are required to issue permits for Part A2 and Part B activities.

Apply for an environmental permit

The regulations say what information must be in the application. We will consider and application and decide whether or not to approve it. We may consult with relevant members of the public and other organisations.

Visit GOV.UK for the application forms, guidance manuals, specimen notices and consultation letter (opens new window). When applying for a permit an application fee must be paid. For information on fees and charges see the DEFRA website.

If we decide to issue a permit, it will include conditions. These conditions will say how pollution is to be minimised. The government has published guidance for each type of installation. This says what are likely to be the right pollution standards. Under the law, the standards must strike a balance between protecting the environment and the cost of doing so. The authority must, by law, have regard to that guidance. The authority must also consider local circumstances.

Once a permit is issued, the operator must comply with the permit conditions and pay an annual charge. This covers local authority costs of checking the permit is complied with.

If we decide to refuse a permit, you can appeal to the government. You can also appeal if you have received a permit but do not agree with any of the conditions.
