NE1 7RU, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, EPR/DP3926SH/A001: environmental permit consultation

Overview

We are seeking your comments on an environmental permit application which includes a plant which has been identified as being in an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) received from University of Newcastle upon Tyne for:

Merz Court Energy Centre
Newcastle University 
King's Gate
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE1 7RU

We can take account of

• Relevant environmental regulatory requirements.
• Information on local population and sensitive sites.
• Permit conditions by providing information that we have not been made aware of in the application, or by correcting incorrect information in the application (e.g. background air quality).

We cannot take account of

• Issues beyond those in the relevant environmental regulations.
• Anything outside the remit of the EPR, e.g. the proposed location of the site.
• Land use issues when determining a permit application, even if changing the location of the activity would improve its environmental performance.
• The impact of noise and odour from traffic travelling to and from the site.
• The legally defined process we follow to determine a permit.
