The requirements covers a broad range of new and existing industrial processes. Businesses which operate these premises must have a permit. The Council decides whether or not to give a permit to an operator. The permit states the ways in which pollution is to be minimised.

We can deal with accumulations of rubbish on private land if the waste material is providing shelter for rats or mice, or consists of offensive, decomposing matter.

If they do not comply, we can arrange for its removal and recover the costs incurred from the person on whom we served the notice.
