Why Should a Contractor Apply for a Section 61 Agreement?

Failing to prove to the local authority that restrictions and/ or regulatory requirements have been adhered to could result in works being stopped until the contractor can prove that they have put adequate control measures in place.

The Control of Pollution Act 1974 is a vital piece of legislation designed to combat various forms of pollution in the UK, including noise, dust, water, and vibration. This act authorises local authorities to take action against contractors whose activities on site are deemed to be negatively affecting the surrounding environment.

Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 regulates prior consent for planned works which is likely to significantly impact people or the environment. Contractors are encouraged to submit a Section 61 application to the Local Authority before starting a project, detailing how they plan to control hazards on site.
