On April 6th 2010, the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 came into force.
Water discharge consenting, groundwater authorisations and radioactive substances regulation are now part of the single environmental permitting system which helps to deliver cuts in unnecessary red tape whilst continuing to protect the environment and human health.
The Environment Agency’s Environmental Permitting web pages and Netregs website provide detailed advice on the new procedures and offer links to new application forms, regulatory guidance and standard permit rules.
Government Guidance is available from the Defra website. This now includes additional Environmental Permitting guidance on Statutory Nuisance and several other updated documents.
