The Consent to Establish is a clearance that is required before any industry, plant or process can be established.  The consent to establish is the first step in the process and it requires a business to obtain all necessary consents from the relevant authorities. The CTE allows for the establishment of a business and details such as ownership, location and management. It also outlines how the company will be governed and run by its directors. The consent to establish is issued once the agency has reviewed all environmental impact studies and conducted site-specific investigations. The agency also verify if there are no effects on soil, water, air and noise pollution.
