Regulation 16 Application of the 2011 Act to councils

Any application by a council for hazardous substances consent shall be made to the Department.

Regulations 5 to 8, 11 and 12(2) shall apply to the making of such applications as they apply to applications made to the council subject to the modification that a reference to “the council” is to be read as a reference to “the Department”.

Section 110 (determination of applications for hazardous substances consent), (other than subsection (2)(e)) shall apply in relation to an application made to the Department by a council as it applies in relation to an application made to a council.

A decision of the Department on an application made to it by a council shall be treated as a decision under section 114.
