Environmental Permitting
Industrial air pollution control
We work with local industry to control emissions. The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 list industrial processes that must get a 'permit' before they can legally operate.
These processes are based on the likely environmental impact:
- Part A1 installations in Darlington are regulated by the Environment Agency for emissions to air, land and water. Enquiries relating to Part A1 installations should be directed to the Environment Agency on 083708 506506. Information is available on the Environmental Management pages of Gov.uk [external link]
- Part A2 installations are regulated by the council for emissions to air, land and water ('LA - IPPC' Local Authority Integrated Pollution Control) - there are no such installations in Darlington at present
- Part B installations in Darlington [pdf document] are regulated by the Council for emissions to air only ('LAPPC' Local Air Pollution Prevention and Control)
Enquiries in relation to applications for Part A2 or Part B applications and requests to access the public register should be directed to [email protected].
