A consultation on draft environmental permitting guidance – exempt waste operations

This joint Defra and Welsh Assembly Government consultation invites your views on the structure and content of draft environmental permitting guidance for exempt waste operations.

This guidance has been drafted as part of the review of waste exemptions from environmental permitting being undertaken by Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Environment Agency. The aim of the review is to provide a more risk based and proportionate approach to the regulation of waste recovery and disposal operations, complementing the new environmental permitting regime.

The documents are aimed at the Regulator, the regulated community and any others who may be interested.

Hard copies are available on request by emailing to exemptions@defra.gsi.gov.uk
