Guide to licensing

The Guide to Licensing will help you determine whether you require an environment protection licence and provides other licensing information about:

• how and where to apply for a licence
• how much a licence costs
• what you may need to do even if you don't need a licence

The Guide to Licensing is divided into two parts:

• Guide to Licensing: Part A - a brief overview of the general licensing process, how it operates and what applicants need to know and provide when applying for an environment protection licence.
