If your business can affect the environment – for example by causing air pollution through release of smoke, dust or solvent fumes; or by creating water or land contamination – you probably need an environmental permit. This is a requirement of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.
The permit sets out limits on the pollution your business can make at your premises and from any mobile plant, and what you need to do to prevent and control pollution.
All enquiries should be sent to ep@gravesham.gov.uk who can advise on what is required to comply with the legislation.
