Received an Environment Agency CAR?

How it works

1. Send the CAR (and optionally the permit) — email PDF to hello@ or paste the Public Register URL.
2. Free CAR check or pay. Free: count of actions/non-compliances + deadlines. Full brief £19.99. Permit + CAR Review £49.99 via Stripe payment link.
3. Get the brief. Status, findings, conditions, deadlines, priority checklist, evidence to retain, page refs.

Why this matters

CAR findings can drive corrective actions and deadlines. For waste operations and installations, scored non-compliances also feed the year’s CCS compliance band, which can change subsistence charges.

Illustration from our public WE3661AC sample: four Category 3 findings, 16 points year to date, Band C noted on the form with subsistence at 110% of the charge for the following year — as printed on that CAR. We organise what the form says; we don’t re-score it.

What’s in a full brief

• Overall status in plain English
• Non-compliances with severity as scored on the CAR
• Linked permit conditions
• Deadlines and a priority checklist
• Evidence to retain — what to keep so you can show the actions were done
• Source page references

CARBrief extracts what the EA actually recorded. We don’t invent findings, scores, conditions or deadlines. If the document is thin or unclear, the brief says so.
