Some industrial and commercial activities have the potential to cause pollution. These activities may be subject to statutory regulation through the Pollution Prevention and Control (England & Wales) Regulations 2016

Installations that are identified within the regulations must have a permit to operate and it is an offence to operate them without a permit.

There are three classes of permit under the regulations, according to the type of process undertaken. The regulation of each class is separated as follows: 

  1. Part A1 installations - Environment Agency
  2. Part A2 installations - Local Authorities 
  3. Part B installations - Local Authorities

Part A1 & A2 permits set out controls on emissions to air, land and water and they also cover other environmental matters such as waste and energy consumption. Part B permits primarily deal with emissions to air.

To check if you need a permit visit GOV.UK.

To apply for a permit, contact the Environmental Permitting team - environmental.permitting@tmbc.gov.uk.
