Pollution prevention, control and permits

By law we must regulate certain types of industry and other activities such as dry cleaners. This is to reduce any pollution they may cause and to help improve air quality.

Our legal obligations

We are required by law to regulate certain types of industry and business activities to try to reduce pollution and minimise environment impacts.

This means that some businesses must obtain a permit.

Applying for a permit

Download an application form from the bottom of the page and return it with the appropriate fee or payment can be made by a debit or credit card by phoning our customer services team on 01296 585605.

The permit application process includes a public consultation.

See our guidance notes on how to apply for a permit. Fees apply.
