  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Planning (Control of Major-Accident-Hazards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) implemented, in relation to Northern Ireland, the land use planning provisions of Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances (O.J. No.L.10, 14.1.1997, p.13) (“the Seveso II Directive”), as amended by Council Directive 2003/105/EC (O.J. No. L345, 31.12.2003, p.97).\nAs part of the implementation of the Seveso II Directive, the 2009 Regulations substituted a new Schedule 3 to the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Regulation 2 corrects an error in the substituted Schedule 3.\nRegulation 3 confers transitional immunity from prosecution and contravention proceedings for a period of six months from the day these Regulations come into operation. During this time an application for consent may be made.\nA Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as their only purpose is to correct the error in the substituted Schedule 3 to the Hazardous Substances Regulations.",
