Permits, Consents and Licences
Encor provides specialist input into environmental permit and consent applications. Encor can provide a full service for permit applications, or deal only with aspects which a company requires assistance.

Environmental Permitting
Through addressing permit requirements early in the project design process Encor can help clients develop a comprehensive permitting strategy and implementation plan to ensure timely permit applications and ongoing compliance. We can liaise and negotiate with regulatory agencies throughout the project to resolve technical issues and develop appropriate permit conditions.

Discharge Consents
If you want to discharge sewage or trade effluent directly into surface water, such as rivers, streams, canals, groundwater or the sea you will almost certainly need to apply for a discharge consent or 'consent to discharge'. Encor can help clients apply for a water discharge consent, provide guidance and complete application forms.

Abstraction Licences
You will probably need a licence if you want to take more than 20 cubic metres (4,000 gallons) of water per day from a river, stream, canal, or an underground source.  Encor can provide professional advice on costs and timescales and complete application forms.
