The Environment Agency publish permits and surrenders that they issue under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).
This decision includes the permit and decision document for:
Organisations which have accepted one of the new 2018 civil contracts will be able to start providing services from 1 September 2018.
This means that the provision of face-to-face legal services will be delivered under one umbrella contract – the 2018 Standard Civil Contract.
The majority of organisations bidding in the main tender process have now had their contracts uploaded. These can be accepted through the Contracted Work and Administration (CWA) system.
It is important for providers to go into CWA and accept their contracts if they wish to carry out work from 1 September.
Organisations will not have had contracts uploaded where they have not yet:
Contracts are being uploaded into CWA once outstanding information has been provided and processed.
Providers completing verification late are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis and will be contacted individually through the message boards.
Where verification information was provided with the tender and was compliant the LAA is making every effort to upload contracts for 1 September 2018.
Where:
verification information was not provided
verification information provided was non-compliant
the LAA has outstanding queries about bids made through previous tender processes or assigning account numbers for new offices
we will seek to upload contracts for 1 October.
You can find out more about the 2018 Standard Civil Contract on GOV.UK where a training file is available for download.

Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey has today opened a £5 million cutting-edge glasshouse at Delamere Nursery in Cheshire.
The state-of-the-art growing facility covers a hectare and is set to boost timber production, with its tight environmental controls creating better growing conditions for the four million seedlings it will house.
It boasts computerised environmental controls, rainwater harvesting from the glasshouse roof into a 15 million-litre capacity lagoon and a boom irrigation system, which allows accurate watering and can apply fertiliser and chemicals.
The glasshouse will play a vital role in the maintenance and expansion of the Public Forest Estate throughout the UK, with the seedlings helping timber production and improving biosecurity.
Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey said at the opening:
It is wonderful to be here to officially open this impressive new structure which will help ensure our forests are stocked with trees in a more sustainable and productive fashion.
The forests and woodlands that these trees will go on to be a part of are vital for providing timber, protecting wildlife, and helping us improve our environment for the next generation.
Simon Hodgson, Forestry Commission England, Chief Executive said:
I’m delighted our minister, Thérèse Coffey, officially opened our new forestry glasshouse today. This significant investment demonstrates how committed we are to the nation’s forests.
The largest glasshouse dedicated to forest trees in the UK means that Forestry Commission England will be able to plant around five million of the very best trees every year in the nation’s forests for timber, recreation and wildlife as well as supplying trees to Scotland and Wales. We are increasing the diversity of tree species we plant so the nation’s forests are resilient; protecting them from pests, diseases and the effects of a changing climate.
I would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in making this project a reality.
The glasshouse was completed in December 2017, with the first seeds sown in March 2018. It is anticipated that it will be fully stocked with a mix of species and ages by 2020.

Treasury Minister Robert Jenrick today (31 August 2018) visited the Tees Valley to see how innovative local businesses in the area are helping drive the new economy.
The Exchequer Secretary was in the region as part of a UK-wide tour. He met with Tees Valley mayor, Ben Houchen, to hear how the local area is benefitting from its landmark devolution deal, which included new powers over transport, skills and business support, and £450 million of extra government support.
The Minister was hosted at the South Tees Development Corporation and discussions included how £123 million of funding, announced by Chancellor Philip Hammond in the 2017 Budget, would keep the former SSI steelworks site safe and pave the way to crucial regeneration.
He also visited the Centre for Process Innovation, which this month received £109 million of government funding. The centre is leading the way in designing new manufacturing methods to take prototypes to products on the market across a range of cutting-edge industries including pharmaceuticals, aeroplane and automobile engines and electronics.
The government is supporting enterprise and innovation across the country so all areas can enjoy the benefits of economic growth. There are currently 55,000 more people in employment in the North East than in 2010 and 18,800 more businesses. The area recently received an extra £59 million from the government’s new transforming cities fund – to improve transport links and better connect people to jobs.
Speaking on the visit, Mr Jenrick said:
We are investing in improving connectivity, strengthening skills, supporting enterprise and innovation, and promoting trade – building an economy that works for everyone, and making Tees Valley an even better place to live and work.
This area has a key role to play in the new economy and by working closely with local leaders we will ensure the Northern Powerhouse continues to boost growth and productivity across the country.
