Gas boilers combusting 15m and at least 2m above 2km gaseous fuels other than nearest building natural gas Proposed charges Comments were made that the proposed charges appeared excessive compared with other simplified standard permits. Charges for the various Medium Combustion Plant Standard Rules permits within the consultation document were derived outside of the Strategic Review of Charges, but were designed to cover our costs as the sole regulator under the The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2018. The charges are confirmed and represent some of the lower charges applied by the Environment Agency in its EPR permitting activities. For example for a Specified Generator the application fee is £221 and the annual subsistence charge is £246. A mobile SG carries the same application charge with a slight increase in compliance as there is no separate deployment charge. The charge here is £273. For MCP the application charge for a single unit located on a site is £446 and the subsistence charge is £194. For all the above categories the transfer charge is £169 and the surrender charge £125. Note there are higher charges where more than a single MCP is located on a given site. The charges were as follows; SR2018 No 7 standard rules for new, low risk, stationary Medium Combustion Plant 1 < 20MWth a transfer charge of £169 a surrender charge of £125 Application and subsistence charges vary depending on the number of MCP's on one site as follows; Number of MCPs Application charge £ Subsistence charge £ 1 446 194 up to 3 520 256 up to 5 620 342 up to 8 720 394 up to 10 779 520 up to 15 813 620 Specified generators standard rules SR2018 No 1, SR2018 No2, SR2018 No3, SR2018 No4, SR2018 No 5 and SR2018 No6 an application charge of £221 a transfer charge of £169 a surrender charge of £125 an annual subsistence charge of £246 SR2018 No 8 mobile plant specified generator an application charge of £221 a transfer charge of £169 that is a change of operator
