Integrated permit application support
An integrated permit application needs to present the installation as a connected system of processes and environmental impacts. We prepare new or amendment applications, combine technical data with specialist assessments and help operators or developers explain technical issues arising during the permitting procedure.
One installation, a consistent account of its impacts
We start by defining installation boundaries, describing the technology and establishing whether the work concerns a new permit or an amendment. For an amendment, we compare the installation covered by the existing decision with the proposed changes. Information on materials, resources, emissions and operating arrangements is organised around shared balances and parameters across the application.
We coordinate specialist assessments relevant to the installation and check their connections. Technical descriptions, schedules and supporting explanations are developed within the agreed documentation scope. Procedural support includes preparing appropriate technical clarifications and supplementary material. Consistency between process information, calculations and the proposed description of operating conditions is maintained as the application package develops.
The application should describe an installation in terms that relate to the operator's actual work. We therefore explain the parameters and assumptions underpinning the documentation and which changes could affect its validity. Scope depends on the installation and purpose of the procedure; preparing an application is distinct from the authority issuing or amending a permit.

What you receive
You receive an application for an integrated permit or an amendment, with the agreed assessments and supporting material. The documentation describes the installation using consistent data and explains the assumptions adopted. It supports the permitting procedure and helps the operator understand the links between technology, operating parameters and the environmental assessment presented in the application.
