Industrial and commercial

Certain industrial processes in Tower Hamlets are regulated by either the Environment Agency or by the Council. The Environment Agency permits a number of waste sites in the borough. The Council regulates smaller industrial processes such as:

• dry cleaners,
• petrol stations
• and concrete batchers.

Permits

Each process must hold a permit under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (2016). Permits for Part B and A2 installations are issued by the Council. Currently there are no A2 installations in the borough. We are required to keep a Public Register of these processes.
