This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you store and use whole waste tyres:

in building construction
in escape ladders in water storage reservoirs
for fendering systems at quaysides
as fendering on boats and vessels
as planters used for displaying flowers and plants

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
