The Planning (Management of Waste from Extractive Industries) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015
These Regulations implement Directive 2006/21/EC (O.J. No.L102, 11.4.2006, P.15-34) (“the Mining Waste Directive”) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15th March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries and amending Directive 2004/35/EC (O.J. No.L143, 30.4.2004, p.56-75) (“the Waste Framework Directive”). The Regulations replace the Planning (Management of Waste from Extractive Industries) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”) to take account of the role of district councils as local planning authorities and also for revisions to the EC Directives since the 2010 Regulations came into operation.
