The Environment Agency has updated its guidance on charges for environmental permits.
It covers fees for new permits, variations (changes), surrenders (cancel), transfers, deployments, registrations and renewals (bit.ly/2k8cNyU).
The guide, first published in 2014, covers: flood risk activities; installations; waste facilities; mining waste; mobile plant; groundwater activities (land spreading); water discharge activities and groundwater activities (point source); radioactive substances activities; waste carriers, brokers and dealers; exempt waste operations; international waste shipments; producer responsibility: waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE); producer responsibility: waste batteries and accumulators; and the Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Regulations 2008.
Flood risk activities (FRA) have been added to the list. New charges for FRA permits are effective from 4 January 2017. Applicants must pay £50 for each flood risk activity to which their application relates.
