Environment Agency: Guidance Medium combustion plant: apply for an environmental permit

Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD) permits are standalone permits for stationary or mobile medium combustion plant which cover emissions of SO₂, NOₓ and dust to air.

Air emissions risk assessment: Stage 1 provides minimum screening distances to the habitat sites. If each individual MCP is operating outside the minimum screening distances to the habitat sites given in the table then a lower risk simple bespoke permit will apply. If any of the MCP(s) are operating inside the minimum screening distances to habitats given in the table then a detailed air dispersion modelling report may be required. 

Isopleth Ltd regularly completes detailed air dispersion modelling assessments in support of MCP applications.
