The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (“the principal Regulations”) provide a consolidated regime of environmental permitting in England and Wales. They replaced the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 and its amending instruments. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations, and come into force on the day after the day on which they are made.
