Dear Edward Betteridge

Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016
Application reference: EPR/BP3922LW/A001
Operator: MORETON C.CULLIMORE(GRAVELS)LIMITED
Facility: Bow Farm, Bow Lane, Ripple, GL20 6EW

Thank you for your application, received 24/11/2025.

What happens next?
Your application will be allocated for checking and technical assessment as quickly as we can, and we will contact you if we need any further information. If you need to add something, please send it to us at [email-masked], quoting your application reference.

A permitting officer will check that all relevant information requested in the application forms and application guidance is provided, and will contact you if information is missing.

Depending on how much information is missing, we may ask you to provide this within a maximum of ten working days. If you do not respond to the request, or what is provided still doesn’t meet the requirements, we will return your application.

If we think there is too much information missing to be provided within 10 working days, we will return your application with a list of what is missing to help you reapply.

If we return your application we will retain 20% of the correct charge for your application, capped at £1,613, to cover our costs in reviewing your application. Further details can be found in our Charging Scheme.

If you have used our enhanced pre application advice service, you must ensure you have paid all associated fees before your application can progress.

For more information on the permitting process and the next steps see Waste: environmental permits or A1 installations: environmental permits.

If you have provided evidence of technical competence which is due to expire soon, send an up-to-date continuing competency certificate when available to [email-masked], quoting your application reference. Sending this in advance can help avoid delays.

Exemptions
Waste exemptions allow low-risk waste management operations to be carried out without an environmental permit.

Future reforms to waste exemptions will mean exemptions cannot be registered at or adjacent to (where there is a direct link) permitted waste operations. Waste exemptions cannot currently be used on a permitted installation.

For further details please read Waste Exemptions – Getting Ready for Change. As part of this work, we are also asking operators to deregister any exemptions no longer used or needed. We do not expect changes to the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) before 2025. This may change as it depends on Parliament and its legislative programme.

Consultation
If your application needs consultation with the public and other organisations we use an online consultation tool where we will add all application documents. Environmental permits: when and how we consult explains which applications we are required to consult on and how long this will take.

We aim to respond to all customer enquiries however, this can have a significant impact on our ability and capacity to progress applications. Please rest assured that we will contact you as soon as there is any update on your application, so please avoid contacting us unnecessarily for updates. For urgent enquiries, you can contact our National Customer Contact Centre on 03708 506 506.

Yours sincerely,
