Environmental Permits and Consultations

Environmental Permit and Substantial Permit Variations Application Consultations

Your local authority must by law regulate certain types of factory and other activities to reduce any pollution they may cause and, in particular, to help improve air quality. Businesses which operate these premises must have an Environmental Permit.

Local authorities decide whether to give a permit. If they do so, they must write down how the pollution is to be minimised.

In the law, the local authority controlled premises are known as "installations". Some are called 'Part B', and local authorities can only deal with air pollution from them. Others are part A2 installations where many different sorts of pollution are controlled.

Much of the information about permits must be put on a public register. Anyone can ask their authority to see it. The public must also be consulted in various circumstances on Environmental Permit Applications and Substantial Variations.

Public Register

We maintain a public register containing information on all the LA-IPPC and LAPPC installations and mobile plants that we are responsible for. These include industrial processes and businesses such as petrol filling stations, dry cleaners, mineral processes, and solvent processes.

Information held about Environmental permits are those issued by us and fall into two categories:

• Part A2 Installations
• Part B Installations

A1 Activities are regulated by the Environment Agency who should be contacted for information on A1 permits. These are generally the largest installations or waste operations.

Should you wish to contact us about a regulated installation, please use the "contact Environmental Health" link opposite.
