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.

Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. See the compact statement above and the terms.
What is the Free CAR check?
A free count of actions or non-compliances plus deadlines from your Environment Agency Compliance Assessment Report. The full brief is the paid product.
Is this a vehicle / car history check?
No. CAR here means an Environment Agency Compliance Assessment Report for an environmental permit — not a used-car history check.
What’s the difference between £19.99 and £49.99?
Full CARBrief (£19.99) organises one CAR: findings, linked conditions as printed on that form, deadlines, checklist, evidence to retain, page refs. Permit + CAR Review (£49.99) also reads your environmental permit (PDF or Public Register URL) and links conditions across both documents.
How do I pay?
hello@carbrief.co.uk is live. Email your CAR there — we send a Stripe payment link for £19.99 or £49.99. No card details on this site.
