The Environment Agency and local authorities are responsible for checking that businesses carrying out certain activities which have the potential to cause air pollution have permission to do so. We issue permits under the Pollution Prevention and Control legislation and inspect premises to ensure the permit conditions are being adhered to.
We maintain public registers which list the permits issued in our areas for activities such as cement batching plants, car respraying, dry cleaners, petrol filling stations, mobile concrete crushers and crematoria.
If you operate a business or process which requires a permit, please download and complete the appropriate application form, found in Associated documents below, and submit to ehadvice@westberks.gov.uk.
