Apply to change to, or vary, a bespoke waste permit

Use this service to change to, or vary, a bespoke waste permit.

Before you start

You need to know:

• the permit number
• any pre-application reference
• about claiming confidentiality or national security
• what declarations to make
• what changes you can make and our charges
• how to pay

You then need to give us only new or changed information.

Administrative changes

We need the new details and a brief summary of the changes you want to make.

Consolidating permits

Write a summary that explains your application, in non-technical language as much as possible.

You must then tell us about your management system.

If any other information has changed since your permit application, you must tell us. 

We may require additional information so we would advise you to talk to us before you submit any application to modernise or consolidate permits.

Adding or changing bespoke waste permit activities

Write a summary that explains your application, in non-technical language as much as possible.

You will then need to tell us about the new or changed waste activities. Find out what information about your waste activities you may need to give. 

If any other information has changed since your permit application, you must tell us. 

Adding waste activities to a non-waste permit

If you are applying to add waste installations or waste operations to a permit that has not previously had them, you must also give details of:

• operator's technical ability
• management systems
• offences affecting relevant people
• insolvency or bankruptcy affecting relevant people

New areas of land

For any new areas of land, you must provide us with a site condition report (H5).

You must also send us a detailed site plan (or plans) showing:

• site location, the area covered by the site condition report, and the location and nature of the activities and/or waste facilities on the site
• locations of receptors, sources of emissions/releases, and monitoring points
• site drainage
• site surfacing
  
  

Timescales

We will make a decision within four months of receiving a complete application and the correct fee.

We will check your application and confirm if it is complete. If it is complete we call this ‘duly made’. If it is not complete we may request further information from you. The four month timescale does not begin until we consider the application is ‘duly made’.
