An environmental permit is required for all processes covered under the Environmental Permitting regulations. This includes waste transfer stations, metal recycling facilities, car breakers & other waste sites.
Environmental Permits are either Standard Rules or bespoke permits. Which type of permit you require depends on your location and the type of operations your business carries out. Permits can be transferred, varied and surrendered and many applications we make are for clients with existing permits who need to adjust them to match changes to their business.
When submitting your application, you will need to submit a variety of plans, surveys and procedures. The most important are the Fire Prevention Plan (FPP) and the Environmental Management System (EMS).
Examples of other works which may be required include noise surveys, Site Condition reports, dust management plans, odour management plans, and environmental procedures.

- Liaison with Environment Agency/Local Authority and relevant Statutory Consultees;
