Pollution Prevention & Control: Industrial Regulation

 

IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control) identifies controls for industry to protect the environment.

 

Not all industrial activity within Havant Borough requires an authorisation or permit to operate. Those that do are regulated either by Havant Borough Council, or the Environment Agency.

The Integrated Pollution, Prevention & Control ( PPC ) Act of 1999 replaces Part 1 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990; shifting the regulation framework from the authorisation scheme (under the EPA ), to the environmental permitting scheme under the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations ( PPC ) 2000.

The Local Authority Role


Permits issued by the Local Authority set operating conditions, which the operator must comply with. Council officers undertake regular planned inspections to ensure compliance.

 

There are currently

  • 0 part A2 installations - air, water, land and other environmental considerations
  • 12 part B installations (non petrol station) - air pollution only
  • 12 part B installations (petrol stations) - air pollution only

The local authority is responsible for regulating only Part A2 & Part B Processes.

 

 

The Environment Agency Role


The Environment Agency regulates specified larger industrial sites referred to as 'part A processes' under the EPA or 'part A1 installations' under the PPC Regulations.

 

Operational conditions imposed by the Environment Agency upon operators of these activities are aimed at addressing potential pollution to air, land & the water environment.

 

There are currently 3 such installations within Havant.

 

 

A public register is maintained at the Civic Centre Road Offices of Part A1 , A2 & B processes; containing copies / details of:

 

  • Submitted application forms
  • Permits
  • Enforcement action or formal notices served, and;
  • Emissions monitoring data (where appropriate)

 

Viewing a paper copy of this register is free of charge, however there may be a fee if you wish to make copies of documentation on the register.
