Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018: Proposed changes to the Charging Scheme

When the Regulations come into force, the level of regulatory activity for the majority of authorised activities will remain unchanged. Therefore, the application and subsistence charges will remain the same in most cases. We are also not proposing to change the activities that we currently regulate which are subject to an environmental component fee.

This consultation will focus on the charging proposals for new activities, existing activities where the charge or description has changed, and highlight other changes that will be introduced under the Regulations.
