Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC)

Local authorities

Fees and charges and risk based inspection method

The risk based fee and charges scheme is designed so that industry pays reasonable costs to the local authorities who regulate them under the “polluter pays” principle.

Ultimately the greater the risk, the higher the risk banding the installation will fall into, and the greater the fees payable.
