Application Evaluation Process |
Omagh District Council will take into account that all appropriate pollution prevention methods are taken, particularly through best available techniques and that no significant pollution is caused. Omagh District Council may be required to give notice of your application to the petroleum licensing authority, dependent upon the activity you will carry out. They may also be required to give notice of the application to any other bodies the Department of the Environment require. If they intend to attach an off-site condition to your permit they will provide notice to you, or the owner, lessee or occupier of the land if not you. They must consider any representations made in relation to your application.

If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
