Do you need an Environmental Permit?

First you will need to find out if your proposed activity would be a regulated facility under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR).

A regulated facility can be:

• an installation that carries out an industrial, waste or intensive farming activity listed in Schedule 1 of the Regulations;
• a waste operation that is not carried out at an installation, for example, a waste transfer station;
• a mobile plant carrying out either a Schedule 1 activity or a waste operation, for example, treating waste soils;
• a mining waste operation where extractive waste is managed and which may or may not include a mining waste facility

Environmental permits are provided by the Environment Agency, Please visit their website for more information.
