Local Authority Pollution Prevention Control (PPC)
The Council has a duty to regulate certain types of installations within our borough to reduce pollution and in particular improve air quality and these installations include dry cleaners, vehicle resprayers and petrol filling stations.
Our role in the regime is to issue permits which set controls and emission standards to minimise pollution from certain industrial activities. Business that operate certain types of installation therefore must have a permit from the council (A2 and Part B installations). All permitted installations within our borough are entered on a public register.
Further information on permitting can be found on the environmental permitting section of the gov.uk website Environmental permitting (gov.uk website).
Public Register
See our PPC Public Register webpage for information on all the permitted installations within the Borough of Reigate & Banstead. This list is kept up to date whenever a new permit or update to a permit is made.
