Applications for new processes will normally be determined within four months. The local authority will take into account representations received from the general public and other consultees when considering whether to grant the permit. A permit will not be granted unless the local authority is satisfied that the process operator can comply with the conditions of the permit.
If the application is refused, the operator may appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment against the decision of the local authority.
If granted, the permit and conditions attached to it will include operational details, emission limits, monitoring and sampling requirements. Copies of all permits and any conditions attached to them will be put on the public register. The index of the public register can be viewed and the permit can be inspected by prior arrangement at Environmental Health Services, Millshaw Park Way, Churwell, Leeds LS11 0LS. Please contact 0113 214 6252 to arrange an appointment.
The process operator will be subject to an annual subsistence charge once the permit is granted, in accordance with The Local Enforcing Authorities Air Pollution Fees and Charges Scheme (see link on this page).
