The onus is on the installation operator to apply for a permit. If it is established that the activity at the installation is a Part A1 activity, all correspondence should be directed to the Environment Agency. If it is a Part A2 activity or a Part B activity, operators will have to apply to their local authority. Application forms are available on this page. If you would like to complete the application form electronically please email epteam@leeds.gov.uk and ask for a word version of the application form.
Completed applications must be returned, together with supporting information. This will include:
- full description of the installation;
- list of prescribed substances which might cause harm if released to the environment and their quantity;
- techniques to be used for preventing or minimising their release;
- details of any other likely release and assessment of the environmental consequence;
- proposals for monitoring, sampling and measurement of emissions;
- the matters on which the applicant relies to establish that BAT will be achieved.
A fee is also required to accompany the application in accordance with The Local Enforcing Authorities Air Pollution Fees and Charges Scheme. There is no facility for the local authority to vary these fees and charges.
