More information about environment agency waste permits in {{Location}}

You may need to apply to the Environment Agency for an environmental permit if your Sewage Treatment System operates outside of the 2015 General Binding Rules.

You are breaking the law if you operate without a permit when you should have one.

Ways you can meet the requirement:

If you are carrying out a waste activity you can meet the permit requirement using one of the following:

  • a ‘regulatory position statement’ – the Environment Agency does not currently require a permit for that activity
  • an ‘exemption’ – you do not need a permit for the activity, but you must still register your exemption with the Environment Agency
  • a ‘standard rules permit’ – a set of fixed rules for common activities
  • a ‘bespoke permit’ – tailored to your business activities
  •  

Check if your activity is covered by a regulatory position statement

A regulatory position statement (RPS) means that the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action against you if you have not applied for a permit provided:

  • your activity meets the description set out in the RPS
  • you comply with the conditions of the RPS
  • your activity does not (or is not likely to) cause environmental pollution or harm human health

Each RPS has an expiry date. You should check with the Environment Agency before this expiry date to make sure they have not withdrawn the RPS. If they have you may need to register an exemption or apply for a permit for your activity.

Check for an RPS if you are:

Check if there is an exemption for your activity

Check for an exemption if you are:

If your activity is covered by an exemption you will need to register it as exempt.

Each exemption has specific limits and conditions you need to follow. If you do not, the Environment Agency can cancel or ‘de-register’ your exemption.

Check if you can get a standard rules permit

You can apply for a standard rules permit if your operation meets the relevant description and rules, but:

  • you cannot change (vary) the rules and you have no right of appeal against them
  • if you want to change your operations and so will not meet the criteria of the standard permit anymore, you will have to apply to make it a bespoke permit instead
  • if there is a change in your local environment after your permit has been issued (for example a change in the definition of a groundwater source protection zone) you may need to apply to change your permit

Read the standard rules if your activity involves:

Applying for a standard rules permit is quicker and costs less than a bespoke permit, but if you do not meet the conditions for the standard rules permits you must apply for a bespoke permit.

If you need to apply for more than one standard rule at the same site or add a standard rule to a bespoke permit, you must confirm that each standard rule covers a self-contained and separate activity.

You should not apply for more than one standard rule to split a single operation.

Client Feedback & Reviews

Following the failure of our septic tank, Staffordshire septics and drainage installed a new septic tank and drainage field. We were very pleased with the work which completed quickly and too a high standard, which enabled us to sell our property.

I found James after searching online for local septic experts, as I wanted a septic survey on a house we are buying. After to speaking to James on the phone, I could tell he was professional, trustworthy and had a wealth of expertise. James performed the survey and produced a very detailed report. His report identified the tank was extremely old and no longer upto regs and required replacement. This information allowed us to negotiate with the sellers and save a lot of time, money and hassle had we not known prior to completion. James has been super helpful with follow up queries too!

From start to finish James and the team are a delight to deal with. They deliver against ALL promises and communicate well, providing updates at all necessary milestones. I challenge anyone to not like James and the team. Their workmanship is impeccable and I would happily recommend them to anyone!

Never having owned a property with a septic tank I was clueless, James was incredibly informative and helpful. Then when the lads turned up to do the work they were very efficient and tidy, the job was done and all was good. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have drainage work done.

Having carried out research of various companies and being quoted anything between £500 to £1000 with no clarity as to whether a legal compliance survey would be included (I did not want nor need my own DVD copy of a CCTV inspection), my partner found James. He was polite, incredibly accommodating and was able to provide an urgent survey and report within 7 days of instructions. Very knowledgeable, sympathetic and excellent price point. Would highly recommend. He is my hero as with his help I may have bought my dream house. Thank you James.

Staffordshire septics team installed a sewage treatment plant to enable us to remortgage our house. They were very quick and installed the plant with all the regs within a few weeks of our initial phone call. Would use them again!
