Complexity Attribute Look-Up Table

The below complexity attributes are used in the OPRA spreadsheet to attribute complexity to a waste operation. An operation with an "A" rated (low complexity) complexity attribute will cost less (application and subsistence fees) than a more complex operation. Example:

• Inert Waste Transfer Station - A - Application fee £2400

• General Waste Transfer Station  - C - Application Fee £8000

There are two "joke" complexity attributes in the below list. They are clearly labeled. Humour (or an attempt at it) is my only defense against this wall of hyper bureaucracy.
