We assist businesses in navigating the complex process of preparing environmental permit applications.

Due to strict environmental regulations, obtaining the appropriate environmental permit is essential for avoiding prosecution and significant fines. Identifying what permit you need, preparing a comprehensive and technically compliant application and submitting it, is a complex and time-consuming task. TEPL guides organisations through the process.

Our team of skilled environmental consultants, engineers and regulatory specialists have a proven track record of preparing successful permit applications. We have successfully achieved permits for the following facilities: waste transfer stations, composting facilities, aggregates processing, plastics manufacturing facilities, End-of-Life Vehicle Authorised Treatment Facilities, metal recycling, water discharges, energy plants among others.

Our knowledge of waste management, recycling and industrial operations enables us to understand your specific challenges. Our experience qualifies us to establish a permitting and compliance strategy that aligns with both your business goals and environmental responsibilities. TEPL have practical experience in site assessment, appropriate design, the permit applications process and regulatory negotiations. This enables us to provide practical, real-world solutions that meet operational business needs without unnecessary expenditure.

Working with customers we understand operational requirements, determine the permit required, undertake the appropriate operational risk assessments, and prepare application and supporting documents. Depending on the nature of the application these can be extensive and include Management Plans, Environmental Management System documents, and site condition reports. If the site handles combustible wastes we prepare the Fire Prevention Plan (England) or Fire Prevention and Mitigation Plan (Wales).

Once awarded, our team can work with you to prepare a permit-compliant environmental management system (if not required as part of your application), assess and maintain compliance with your permit, or to make permit variations, transfers or surrenders if your needs subsequently change.

What Kind of Environmental Permit do I need?

There are two permits that your project could be categorised into, a Standard Rules Permit, or a Bespoke Permit.
