Defra announces proposed changes to environmental permit exemptions
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has proposed changes to the system of environmental permit exemptions. Under current rules, certain waste management activities can be carried out without an environmental permit. Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Environment Agency are reviewing which waste handling businesses can operate under the exemptions and which ones will need a permit. Defra hopes the proposed changes will cut back on red tape for businesses and save as much as £45 million over three years. Read the Defra press release here:
