Details of the application

The Environment Agency has received an application to vary an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 involving substantial change to a permit from F & R Cawley Limited.

Regulated facility type

F & R Cawley Limited are applying to vary permit reference MP3397NF to allow them to treat lithium-ion batteries at their Household, Commercial and Industrial waste transfer station at 1 Covent Garden Close, Luton. The site had historically collected and bulked used single stream industrial used lithium-ion batteries, which were exported without treatment.
