Paragraph 7 Hospital or small emitter permits: application

The operator of an installation that is a hospital or small emitter for a scheme year may apply to the regulator for a hospital or small emitter permit to come into force in that year^f1.

But an application may not be made if a permit for the installation is already in force.

In sub-paragraph (2), “permit” includes a permit within the meaning of GGETSR 2012 to which paragraph 1 of Schedule 11 applies (permits to be converted).
