The Waste (Fees and Charges) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs publishes a charging scheme to ensure that, as far as practicable, fees and charges payable for waste management licences under the Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (the “1997 Order”) are sufficient to recover the costs for the Department in exercising its functions under the 1997 Order. However, fees for processing applications to register an undertaking carrying on an exempt activity and charges for processing applications for registration as carriers, brokers, or dealers in controlled waste are required to be set out in legislation. The purpose of these Regulations is to increase those fees and charges. Details of the increased fees will also be included in the charging scheme which sets out the fees and charges payable in respect to waste management licences.
