When you apply for an environmental permit, or change your existing permit, you need to pay the fee relating to your business activity.

We will not be able to process your application until we have received the correct fee. 

You also need to pay an annual charge, even though you do not need to renew your permit each year.

For both parts, you will need to pay a fee:

  • when you first apply for a permit
  • each year, when you need to pay a low, medium or high annual subsistence charge
  • if you make a late payment
  • if you vary, transfer or surrender your permit
