Notification is required, under the Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992, of the location and number of cooling towers or evaporative condensers positioned on any site within the District.  Once notification has been received, an acknowledgement will be forwarded and a copy sent to the appropriate enforcing authority for the purposes of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.  In the majority of cases, this will be the Health and Safety Executive who are based at Stoke-on-Trent. 

 

If you have a cooling tower or evaporative condenser which has not been notified to the authority, or wish to discuss any particular requirements relating to the regulations you should contact one of our health and safety inspectors (see contact details below).

 

Erection of additional facilities, or, changing the use of existing premises may require prior approval under Town and Country Planning Acts and/or Building Regulations.
