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LRWPs for construction, demolition and dredging waste, aggregates and soils that have been withdrawn
The LRWP ‘Reusing wash waters and treating cement and silt washings at construction sites: LRWP 16’ has been replaced with the regulatory position statement (RPS) ‘Treating and using water that contains concrete and silt at construction sites: RPS 235’.
The LRWP ‘Storing and using waste clay to make cob blocks: LRWP 32’ has been withdrawn. The Environment Agency believe the position is no longer needed because the material is likely a product and for an intended use.

We have removed 'Reusing wash waters and treating cement and silt washings at construction sites: LRWP 16'. We have replaced it with the regulatory position statement (RPS) 'Treating and using water that contains concrete and silt at construction sites: RPS 235'. RPS 235 tells you what treatment and uses of waste water are allowed at construction sites without an environmental permit for a waste operation.
