Bespoke permits are written specifically for your facility and contain conditions relevant to your operation.
Your bespoke permit can include more than one installation or waste facility. It can also include one or more standard rules set.
Our application form and guidance will take you through the information we require. This includes:
- administrative information about you, your proposals and previous interactions with us;
- whether you have committed any relevant offences, have the necessary technical skills and financial resources;
- showing us that you have appropriate management systems;
- details of who we may need to consult about your application;
- a non-technical summary that shows how you will operate your process using appropriate techniques (at installations these are Best Available Techniques (BAT);
- lists of all installations and waste facilities;
- whether you have planning permission for the waste operation;
- for each installation and/or waste operation, how you will use appropriate techniques with reference to a technical guidance note or your own justification;
- general and activity-specific information, for example types of wastes you handle;
- details of emissions from your activities and how you will monitor them. You must compare your emissions with relevant sector benchmark levels in technical guidance;
- an assessment of the environmental and health impacts of the whole facility that demonstrates a high level of protection for the environment and human health (see H1 Environmental Risk Assessment on our guidance page);
- how you comply with any directive specific requirements which are additional to the above.
Please use our guidance page which lists all the documentation you need to complete your application.
There is one application form, in six parts, which must be used to apply for a new bespoke or standard permit or to vary, transfer or surrender your permit. Guidance on how to complete the form is provided.
Our charges page will explain how much your permit will cost you.
