Details of the application
The Environment Agency has received a variation application for an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 from NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited.

The existing permit allows a number of discharges to be made solely during the construction phase at HPC. As parts of the site are completed construction moves on to other parts and the permit needs to be varied to reflect these changes. In particular this variation is being made to:
a) Allow specific additions to site drainage which require an update to the description of existing Activities within Table S1.1 of the permit.
b) Regularise activities that have already commenced but which also require an update to the description of existing Activities within Table S1.1 of the permit.
c) Revise Activity F (within Table S1.1 of the permit), which requires updates across Schedule 1, 3, 4 and 7 of the permit.
d) Include a new Sub-Activity (or equivalent) to the permit, including updates to the relevant Schedules of the permit.
e) Allow other minor amendments including cessation of existing Activities and addition of a new notification mechanism for cessation of Activities.
