Environmental Permitting Regulations - Waste Sites

Summary

A waste management licence is a legal document issued under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A licence authorises the treatment keeping or disposal of waste in or on the land. Once we have issued a licence neither the activities nor the area of land may be changed unless the licence is modified. The Environmental Permitting Regulations regulating waste sites came into force on 6 April 2008. The new regime combines a number of earlier permitting / licensing regimes. Other related datasets available are: - Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) - Authorised Treatment Facilities (End of Life Vehicles) - Water Quality and Pollution Control (Discharge Consents) - Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment (WEEE)EPR Waste is the table for granted permits. EPR Waste Applications holds details of applications that did not or have not yet resulted in a permit or permit variation.
