(1) The regulator must grant or refuse a duly-made application.
(2) Except in the case of an application to surrender an environmental permit in whole, the regulator may grant an application subject to such conditions as it sees fit.
(3) But—
(a) variations of an environmental permit in relation to the grant of an application for variation, transfer in whole or in part, or partial surrender must be in consequence of the variation, transfer or partial surrender, as the case may be; and
(b) if granting an application for partial transfer, the regulator must grant a new environmental permit to the transferee subject to the same conditions as the original permit, varied in consequence of the partial transfer.
