Change Environmental Permit

Change Environmental Permit Conditions

If you want to vary or change your existing permit conditions. You will need to make an application to the Environment Agency. Conditions in a standard rules permit cannot be changed but you can change the boundary or change to another set of standard rules.

You can change a bespoke permit’s tonnage codes and storage volumes.

Change Environmental Permit Type

If you wish to vary the annual tonnage or waste codes on a standard rules permit. This will transfer you to a bespoke environmental permit. You will pay the higher subsistence fees for a bespoke permit and your operation will be considered higher risk.

Permit Variation Timescales

A variation application to the EA therefore will take almost as long as an initial application given the current backlog. By all means, If you are applying for a variation, you might as well make the most of it and also apply for several additional waste codes as well. You could also apply to increase the annual throughput at the same time. Charges for permit variation applications are typically 40-50% of the initial permit application fee. You need to allow several months for a variation application to be determined at this time.
