Pollution Prevention and Control
and Environmental Permitting
The Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 {Statutory Instrument 2000 no. 1973}, require companies to acquire a permit to carry out certain activities.
If the activities on your site are subject to these regulations then you are required to have a permit to operate. IPPC is a regulatory framework designed to control the environmental impacts across a wide range of industrial and agricultural activities. The aim is to Protect the environment as a whole and Promote the use of “clean technology” to minimise waste at source. From April 2008, the IPPC regulations will be replaced by the Environmental Permit regulations. An Environmental Permit covers both IPPC permits and Waste Management Licences.
