Industry and Air Quality

Part A Processes

Large industries such as power stations, incinerators and chemical plants are known as Part A processes. These large industries are controlled by the Environment Agency and are regulated under the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999.

 

There are currently eleven Part A processes in the borough and their contribution towards local air quality is considered in the Annual Progress Reports and Updating Screening Assessments produced by Ashford Borough Council.

 

We are responsible for regulating one Part A2 process, this is a larger process than most Part B installations.

Part B Processes

Ashford Borough Council is responsible for the control of emissions to the air from small industrial processes under the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999, within the borough.  These industries are called 'Part B' processes, and include vehicle re-sprayers, cement batching plants and petrol stations.

 

From 2007 under the new solvents emission directive, dry cleaners and smaller vehicle resprayers within the Borough are also regulated by Ashford Borough Council.  You can find information for dry cleaners and an application form on our advice for dry cleaners webpage

 

A basic list of our current regulated Part A and B processes is below or an electronic public register with details of all the processes is available to be viewed at the Civic Centre by prior appointment.
