Search the register of Environmental Permitting Regulations - Waste Operations In addition to the registration number in the ePR these entries also have a Waste Management Licence number and search by number will match either of these fields.
Query parameters
The full or partial ID of a registration or permit
Note that registration numbers will be treated as collections of words so that a registration number such as CB/HE5831CE will be found by a search for HE5831 even though the initial CB/ is missing.
Each word will be treated as a prefix, so HE will match CB/HE5831CE
As a special case a word ending in a number will be treated as an exact word mach so A2 will match A2 or CB/A2/001 but not A27 or CB/A231/001. This is to avoid confusion when searching for numeric entries. If you need to search for a registration number by prefix then use an explicit wildcard charater e.g. A2*.
Full or partial name of the business or individual registered.
The text queries are treated as prefixes (so Atkin would match Atkins, Atkinson and so on). To search for a match somewhere within the field you can prefix the search with * (so *tkins would match Atkins, Watkins and so on). If the search string contains more than one word then each is matched separately (so jo atkin would match John Atkinson and Atkins Joinery).
Note that water quality exemptions do not have a holder associated with them and won't appear in results.
A common requirement is to search for a specific registration knowing either the name of the registered person/business or the registration number. This parameter allows you to search for all records where either the name or registration number matches the query term.
A name number search will return the simple union of the results you would expect from name-search and number-search individually, so a query for name-search=abc contains all the records from a search with name-search=abc and all the records from number-search=abc, and the same matching rules apply. For registers that do not support name-search, such as Water Quality Exemptions, this behaves the same as number-search.
Note that, if this parameter is included, no other parameters may be given, with the exception of _limit and _offset. All other search parameters behave as filters, so that all results will match all parameters, and only this one supports the union of two separate search terms. Should you need to filter the results of a name-number-search query by any other field, join the results of separate queries with the name-search and number-search parameter.
Full or partial address of the business or individual registered.
Each word in the address will be treated seperately, so a search for Park Road will match 1 Park Road, 1 High Road, West Park, or Park Estate, City Road.
All words are treated as prefixes, so a search for London will return addresses in Londonderry, but words that end with a number are an exception to this, so a search for 10 will not match 100 Park Road.
Easting of OS grid point to search by distance radius. Must be used with northing and dist.
Northing of OS grid point to search by distance radius. Must be used with easting and dist.
Distance in km from the given OS grid point to search within. Must be used with easting and northing to specify the search center. If left empty, the default value will be used
Exact name of the local authority to search Not applicable to the following registers that lack local authority data:
- Waste carriers, brokers, and dealers
- Waste exemptions
- Enforcement actions
The number of registrations to return. Each register has a maximum supported _limit; in most cases this is 10,000 but some are lower. To fetch more registrations, either page through the results using the _offset parameter or use the download endpoint to access the full dataset.
Return a list of items starting at the given index. Can be used with the _limit parameter to page through results
Exact name of the registration or permit holder; use name-search or completion endpoint to search for a name
The exact registration number of a permit; use number-search or completion endpoint to search for a registration number. These may contain forbidden URL charchters such as /. Note that unlike the ID path parameter, this corresponds to the registrationNumber field, not the notation field.
