Regulation 27 Standard rules as conditions of an environmental permit

This regulation applies where a rule-making authority has published standard rules under regulation 26(5).

At the request of the operator of a standard facility the regulator may include in the environmental permit authorising the operation of the facility a term providing that the relevant rules are conditions of the permit.

If the regulator includes such a term, the relevant rules are conditions of the permit for the purposes of these Regulations, but there is no right of appeal under regulation 31 in relation to such a condition or the relevant rules.

In this regulation, “relevant rules” means the standard rules which apply to the standard facility.
