Environmental permits: low risk waste positions
Low risk waste activities that the Environment Agency has agreed do not need a permit.
The Environment Agency is not currently enforcing the need for an environmental permit in specific cases for some activities.
These low risk waste positions (LRWPs) explain when you do not need to apply for an environmental permit for those activities.
The Environment Agency will review these LRWPs regularly. If it amends or withdraws a LRWP you can carry on doing the activity for 3 months from the date it’s amended or withdrawn.
Please check back regularly.
