Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Article 2 of this Order commences on the day after the Order is made paragraph 162 of Schedule 22 to the Environment Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”), to the extent that the provisions commenced by that paragraph (amendments of the Water Resources Act 1991 (c. 57) relating to anti-pollution works and operations) confer power to make regulations.

Article 3 of the Order commences substantively on 1st April 1999 paragraphs 67 and 69 to 72 of Schedule 22 to the 1995 Act which amend and supplement Part II (waste management licensing) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43). The provisions commenced relate to–

(a)

the making of representations in consultation processes before the grant, variation, suspension or revocation of waste management licences requiring the licence holder to carry out works which would necessitate the grant of rights over land; and

(b)

the payment of compensation for those required to grant rights over land to holders of those licences.

They are associated with the Waste Management Licences (Consultation and Compensation) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/481).
