Environmental Permit

You must have an environmental permit if you operate a regulated facility in England or Wales.

A regulated facility includes:

installations or mobile plants carrying out listed activities
waste operations
waste mobile plant
mining waste operations

Listed activities include:

energy - burning fuel, gasification, liquification and refining activities
metals - manufacturing and processing metals
minerals - manufacturing lime, cement, ceramics or glass
chemicals - manufacturing chemicals, pharmaceuticals or explosives, storing chemicals in bulk
waste - incinerating waste, operating landfills, recovering waste
solvents - using solvents
other - manufacturing paper, pulp and board, treating timber products, coating, treating textiles and printing, manufacturing new tyres, intensive pig and poultry farming

Listed activities are divided into three categories: Part A(1), Part A(2) and Part B.

Part A permits control activities with a range of environmental impacts, including:

emissions to air, land and water
energy efficiency
waste reduction
raw materials consumption
noise, vibration and heat
accident prevention

Part B permits control activities which cause emissions to air.

The permit your business requires depends on the specific processes involved and resulting emissions.

Permits are available from the Environment Agency or your local authority (the regulator) depending upon the category your business falls within:

Part A(1) installations or mobile plants are regulated by the Environment Agency
Part A(2) and Part B installations or mobile plants are regulated by the local authority, except waste operations carried out at Part B installations which are regulated by the Environment Agency
waste operations or waste mobile plant carried on other than at an installation, or by Part A or Part B mobile plants, are regulated by the Environment Agency
mining waste operations are regulated by the Environment Agency

Applications must be made on the form provided by the regulator, or online and must include specified information which will vary depending on the operation.

A fee may be payable.

If further information is required the applicant will be notified by the regulator and they must provide this information or the application will be deemed to be withdrawn.

The application must be from the operator of the regulated facility.

For waste operations no licence will be granted unless any required planning permission had first been granted.
