Industrial sites that have just applied to do more.

A factory, a treatment works or a waste site cannot increase what it handles on a whim. It needs permission first, and the permission says how much, of what, from when. Each one is the start of a design stage in which equipment, monitoring and site works are chosen, and almost none of it is ever put out to public tender.

Chemical blender applies to add solvent recovery

  • A new activity: recovering spent solvents by distillation, up to 6,000 tonnes a year.
  • A new bunded tank farm, with a condition to contain fire water.
  • Applied for 2 September 2026; comments close 30 September.
  • The group runs two other permitted plants in England.

A new process, new tanks and a new duty to hold fire water, in one variation. Process plant, a site contractor, fire protection and a laboratory each have something to quote for, and the group has two more sites.

An invented example of the shape of a card. See a real one, opened.

What puts a card here
A site applies to open, to raise its capacity or to take a new material.
When the money moves
Design and procurement usually run six to eighteen months after the grant.

What an industrial permit change tells every supplier to the site.

One permit change usually means work for several trades at once: plant for the new process, a laboratory for the new monitoring, contractors for the ground, the drainage and the fire cover. The card says what changed, so each of them can see their part of it.

The size of the market first, without names: New UK waste and water sites, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. The capacity before and after in the units equipment is sold in: tonnes a year, cubic metres a day.
  2. Whether the change needs new plant or only more of the same, which tells you whether there is a design stage to join.
  3. Who owns the site and whether the group has done the same at its other sites, which tells you whether this buyer will be back.

Who reads industrial project leads.

  • Water and effluent treatment
  • Waste and recycling processing plant
  • Environmental laboratories and consultants
  • Site infrastructure and fire safety
  • Process engineering contractors

Industrial project leads: your questions.

Is this the same as construction project leads?
No, and that is the point of it. Construction databases follow planning applications for new buildings. Many of the changes here need no building work at all — more throughput, a new material, a tighter limit — so they never appear in a construction feed.
Which sectors does it cover?
Food and drink, waste and recycling, chemicals, water and effluent treatment, and anything else that needs an environmental permit to operate. The card says which sector and what changed.
