Paragraph 3 Grant of an environmental permit for a relevant waste operation: requirement for prior planning permission

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Following an application under regulation 13(1), the regulator must not grant an environmental permit that relates to a relevant waste operation if—

(a)

use of the site for carrying on the relevant waste operation requires planning permission or development consent under the Planning Act 2008f1; and

(b)

no such permission or consent is in force.

(2)

In this paragraph—

  • “planning permission” means planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990f2 and includes—

    1. (a)

      a certificate under section 191 of that Actf3, and

    2. (b)

      an established use certificate under section 192 of that Act, as originally enacted, which continues to have effect for the purposes of subsection (4) of that section; and

  • “relevant waste operation” means—

    1. (a)

      a waste operation that is not carried on at an installation or by means of Part A mobile plant or Part B mobile plant, or

    2. (b)

      a specified waste management activity.

(3)

In sub-paragraph (2)(b), “specified waste management activity” means one of the following activities—

(a)

the disposal of waste in a landfill falling within Section 5.2 of Part 2 of Schedule 1;

(b)

the disposal of waste falling within Section 5.3 of Part 2 of Schedule 1;

(c)

the recovery of waste falling within Part A(1)(c)(i), (ii), (v) or (vii) of Section 5.4 of Part 2 of Schedule 1.

(4)

But “specified waste management activity” does not include any activity specified in sub-paragraph (3)(b) or (c) if that activity—

(a)

is carried on at the same installation as a Part A(1) activity not specified in sub-paragraph (3); and

(b)

is not the activity which constitutes the primary purpose for operating the installation.
