Borough of Telford & Wrekin

A2 PPC installations

A2 installations are multi-media controlled installations and are regulated by the council in the following areas:
  • Air pollution emissions
  • Land contamination
  • Emissions to water
  • Effects on Flora and Fauna
  • Noise emissions (this is one of the exception where noise is dealt with by a permit rather than under statutory nuisance)
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Waste minimisation
A2 installations fall within part A2 of Schedule 1 the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (as amended). Within Telford there are:
  • 2 Galvanizing installations
  • 3 Foundry installations
  • 1 coating installation
  • 3 surface treatment activities
  • 1 Brickworks

Each of the A2 installation typically becomes A2 when exceeding a production threshold, i.e more than 10tonnes molten metal/day, or consumption of more that 200tonnes of solvent per annum. In such circumstances the operator is required to make an application. The application is a detailed document setting out what the operator actually undertakes, how it is monitored and controlled as well as what standards it has to meet. The council follow the standard procedure in respect of A2 applications.

An application form is available by following the appropriate link to the application form. The application fees for the current year, can be found by navigating to the DEFRA website.
