Industrial Pollution and Emissions

Industrial Pollution and Emissions

Quarry The release of pollution and emissions from industrial and commercial sources requires a permit from us.

Listed activities that need permits are divided into two categories:

Part A2 permits control activities with an environmental impact, including;

  • Emissions to air, land and water
  • Energy efficiency
  • Waste reduction
  • Raw materials consumption
  • Noise, vibration prevention
  • Accident prevention
An example of this would be a large print works.

Part B permits control emissions to air. The permit your business requires would depend on the specific processes and resulting emission. Examples include concrete batching plants and petrol stations.
