Details

If the Environment Agency provides a LRWP for an activity, you can carry it out without an environmental permit for a waste operation provided that you meet all the conditions.

The Environment Agency may review its LRWPs. It may decide the activity is no longer suitable for a LRWP or that the conditions need changing. You must regularly check that the LRWP you are benefiting from is still in place.

LRWPs for transport, vehicles, vehicle parts and metal that have been withdrawn

LRWP 31 has been withdrawn and replaced with the regulatory position statement ‘Storing and dismantling small boats and barges: RPS 364’.

LRWP 44 has been withdrawn. Check if you can follow the regulatory position statement ‘End of life vehicles used for training at educational establishments: RPS 328’ instead.
