Paragraph 17 Existing waste management licence
An existing waste management licence which authorises an activity which is a regulated activity (within the meaning of the 2018 Regulations) has effect on or after the relevant date as if it were a permit (within the meaning of the 2018 Regulations) (“a deemed permit”).
In accordance with sub-paragraph (1)—
any condition to which an existing waste management licence is subject has effect as if it were a condition attached to the deemed permit,
the licence-holder in relation to the existing waste management licence is to be treated as the authorised person in respect of the deemed permit.
SEPA may not revoke a deemed permit under this paragraph on the ground that SEPA considers that the authorised person is not in control of the carrying on of the activity before 1 April 2026.
