Air quality and pollution

The Environment Agency deals with major polluting industries such as:

• power stations
• and chemical plants

We control pollution from small processes, such as:

• foundries
• printing works
• car resprayers

Permits

You need a permit to run these types of processes.

Each permit sets out the standards and conditions which help reduce the amount of pollution given out.

We hold a public register with all the permits which have been given out to local companies. you can contact us if you want to see a copy of the register.

Applications

We hold consultations on applications for larger processes.

The public can comment on applications for these permits.
