Environment permitting - part A2 variation form

Substantial changes to a Permitted Process need to be registered with the local authority where it is operating. 

The changes in the process are reviewed by the local authority regulator and incorporated into the operating conditions for the process. A revised Environmental Permit is then issued to the operator, following public consultation on the changes.

The details of the process changes are reviewed to ensure that all the necessary information has been included in the variation form. The local authority officer will acknowledge the application and either seek further information from the applicant, or confirm that the application has been ‘duly made’.

If further information is required the applicant will be notified by the regulator and they must provide this information or the application will be deemed to be withdrawn. 

The application must be from the operator of the regulated facility. 

For waste operations no licence will be granted unless any required planning permission had first been granted.
