How long will it take to get my environmental permit?
A standard rules permit will take approximately 3-4 months from submission. A bespoke permit will take a few months more.
Can I apply myself?
If you are familiar with the process then yes. However if you have not made an application before, the array of forms and supporting surveys required is quite overwhelming
Will I be guaranteed to get my permit?
In a nutshell, no. Treat a permit application similar to a planning application – there is no guarantee.
Why is a permit application so complicated?
There are several supporting surveys that need to be submitted with an application depending on your industry type and geographical setting.
Contaminated Land Reports
Documented Management Procedures
Risk Assessments
Fire Prevention Plans
WAMITAB Registration
Drainage Plans
Noise Surveys
Air Quality surveys
Application Forms
If you are storing combustible waste then a fire prevention plan is the most difficult to produce & comply with
