Permits & CL:AIREs

Environmental permitting refers to the process of obtaining permission from regulatory agencies for activities that could potentially harm the environment. It is becoming more challenging and time-consuming in the environmental sector due to the increasing importance of validation of works and the Environment Agency’s stricter enforcement position concerning duty of care, waste protocols, and permitting.

The Definition of Waste: Code of Practice (DoW:CoP – CL:AIRE) is a consistent process that enables the reuse of excavated materials on-site (site of origin) or their movement between different sites (direct transfer or cluster). It provides an alternative to environmental permits or waste exemptions and supports the sustainable and cost-effective development of land.

The use of DoW:CoP can benefit businesses by providing an alternative to environmental permits or waste exemptions. It enables the direct transfer and reuse of clean naturally occurring soil materials between sites, supporting the sustainable and cost-effective development of land.
