Part 7: Nutrient Pollution Standards 96M New and altered plants: modifications
Subsection (1) allows the Secretary of State to make regulations so that sections 96B to 96L apply with prescribed modifications in relation to any plant that operates for the first time or is altered after the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 is passed.
	Subsection (2) allows for regulations under this section to extend the period for new and altered plants to meet the nutrient pollution standard, that is, to provide for sections 96C(5) and 96D(4) and (10) to apply as if they specified periods other than 7 years.
	Subsection (3) specifies that regulations under this section may not modify section 96F(1) or (2), or section 96G(4) to apply a higher concentration of total nitrogen or phosphorus than would otherwise apply.
