The Waste Management Licences (Consultation and Compensation) Regulations 1999
Section 35(4) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”) allows an authority (the Environment Agency in England and Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency in Scotland) to impose on a waste management licence conditions which require the licence holder to carry out works or do other things notwithstanding that he is not entitled to do so. Sections 37(1) and (2)(a), 38(9) and 42(7) of the 1990 Act, as amended by the Environment Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”), allow those Agencies to impose similar conditions when modifying the conditions of, or suspending, a waste management licence. Where such a condition is imposed, any person whose consent would be required before the works etc. could be carried out must grant to the licence holder, or join in granting, such rights as will enable him to comply with the condition.
