Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018: Proposed changes to the Charging Scheme
3.4. Carrying out a review of a permit
From time to time, we may review a permit. This may be upon request from the authorisation holder, as part of a statutory review, e.g., Best Available Technique (BAT) review, as part of ongoing compliance and enforcement, or to protect and improve the environment. A permit review can be a complex process requiring substantial SEPA resource.
The amended Regulations may include a provision to allow us to charge for undertaking this work however, we do not intend to review our fees or introduce a separate fee for undertaking this work until a wider review of our charging scheme is undertaken.
