H4 (part 1) Technical Guidance
Note : Regulating & Permitting
Part 1, "Regulation and Permitting" outlines the main
considerations relating to the Permitting and Regulation of
odour-generating activities. It is aimed primarily at the
information needs of Regulators, but also contains information
which will be of use to Applicants. This Note:
- describes the information relating to odorous releases that is
required from the Operator for the purpose of making an application
for an IPPC Permit
- describes the process of determination as it relates to
odour
- provides background information relating to the human response
to odours, and
- outlines the tools available for the assessment of the
environmental impact of odour.
In common with most of the IPPC guidance it is joint guidance
with the Environment Agency, SEPA and the Northern Ireland
Environment and Heritage Service (NIEHS)..
