Applying for approval for accident-relevant changes to an installation requiring approval
Service description
Do you operate an installation that requires a permit under immission control legislation, which constitutes an operating area or is part of an operating area, and are you planning to make changes to the installation that could lead to an incident?
These projects can lead to a significant increase in risk being triggered by the system as a result of the change or other immission control requirements can no longer be guaranteed.
Against this background, the immission control authority must review these changes.
To do this, you must submit an application for a modification permit and submit all the necessary documents for the assessment. The application can be made in writing or electronically.
However, approval is not required if and to the extent that the obligation to maintain the appropriate safety distance is already guaranteed at the level of a spatially significant planning or measure by binding specifications.
What documents are required?
- Drawings, plans, expert opinions
- Explanations
Please contact the responsible office for further required documents.
What fees apply?
The amount of the fee is variable and usually depends largely on the installation costs.
What deadlines do I have to observe?
There is no deadline.
