This consultation is about 2 new standard rules permits that will allow operators to:

  • store and treat up to 5,000 tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous metals each year
  • operate a vehicle storage, depollution and dismantling facility for up to 10 end-of-life vehicles a week

These new standard rules permits are for small scale operators. They include a fire prevention plan to make sure operators comply with our fire prevention plan guidance.

They are supported by generic risk assessments. Generic risk assessments make sure that risks to the environment and human health are kept to a minimum.

We want your views on whether the proposed 2 new standard rules permits, fire prevention plans and generic risk assessments are appropriate to manage the risks of the permitted activities.

We will review your feedback and change our draft standard rules if appropriate.
