Guidance on the Local Authority Air Pollution Prevention and Control.

If you feel your process or industry may need a permit to operate please contact us directly for further advice and assistance in obtaining your permit. Operating without a permit is a serious offence, we prefer to you to ensure you are operating within the law to prosecute.
