Public registers
Under Regulation 33 of the The Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 Public Registers of Information are maintained online and historic paper copy registers are maintained in an offsite storage facility. For processes that are permitted through the district councils these are maintained within each district council’s offices. The registers contain useful environmental information about the permitted processes (including copies of the authorisation).
