Environmental Permitting Standard Rules

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and Environment Agency are updating environmental permitting standard rules—streamlined permits for routine industrial activities like sewage treatment and power generation. The policy aims to implement best available techniques (BAT) guidance and modernise permit conditions for mid-merit gas generators, medium combustion plant, and small sewage discharges. Multiple consultation rounds are underway with responses being analysed to finalise the revised standard rules.
