Doing The Right Things for Environmental Permitting

This report focuses on comparing permitting processes for IED installations across IMPEL member countries. It summarizes findings from a questionnaire and workshop, highlighting the diversity in approaches and procedures for issuing permits. The report also outlines the objectives and methodology of a 3-year project aimed at developing a step-by-step guidance document for IED permitting.

This report documents the progress of two interconnected IMPEL projects in 2017: IED Implementation and DTRT Permitting. Both projects aimed to create a Combined Guidance Book for better implementation of the IED. The report details project activities, including meetings, workshops, and working group discussions, focusing on topics like inspection tools, BAT applications, and permitting procedures.

This document presents the final Combined Guidance Book developed by IMPEL for IED permitting and inspection. It offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide covering legislation, permitting processes, inspection procedures, and evaluation mechanisms. The guidance is structured in four parts, with detailed factsheets covering specific aspects of IED implementation for various target groups, including policymakers, permit officers, and inspectors.
