| Environmental Services | Industrial Pollution - Integrated Pollution Control. Malvern Hills District Council controls the emissions to air of a number of industrial processes under the terms of The Environmental Permitting Regulations 2007. The Council is able to apply a set of conditions based on the use of "best available technique" which balances the cost to the operator against the benefit to the environment. This system is known as Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) and aims to prevent emissions, pollution and waste production and when this is not practical, reduce them to acceptable levels. | Available from the website | Free of charge |
