Types of Installations which are regulated

Which installations are regulated?

Local authorities regulate about 80 different types of installation. This includes glassworks and foundries, rendering plant and maggot breeders, petrol stations and concrete crushers, sawmills and paint manufacturers.

The Regulations say exactly which installations need a permit. In several cases only installations over a certain size need one.

Other installations (known as A1) are regulated by the Environment Agency. They are usually larger or more complex. 

For a list of installations that we permit, please see the public register.
