Waste Permits and Licensing

Permits and Consents

Permits & Consents

Waste management & companies that operate landfills, manufacturing or recycling depots are constrained by the waste types they can accept (EWC’s) by conditions in their waste licences and environmental permits. We have helped several companies expand their businesses by applying for variations to their current environmental licences to include new EWC’s (European Waste Codes), which can expand the range of materials they are allowed to accept. With an ever increasing focus on waste management it is important to ensure that you have the right licences. We have worked with metal recycling companies, end of life vehicles (ELV) , hazardous waste management companies, power station, food companies and others and have a good track record of gaining the right consents and waste permits required from the Environment Agency.

  • Waste acceptance procedures
  • Environmental permit applications

Outstanding service. Great in-depth knowledge of the sector and requirements of the Environment Agency. We received a very professional service, from initial meeting and site visit through to submission of our EA application, which went through smoothly and was approved at first submission, without the need for any additional information, as Paul had done such a thorough job. We have no hesitation in recommending Paul Downing & Associates Limited and they are now our 'go to' company for any advice and guidance relating to Environmental Permits, Licences, etc. Great job - thank you!
