| Short description: |
Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Environment Agency are
undertaking a review of the exemptions from waste management licensing.
Exemptions have generally proved to be successful in helping to regulate
waste management activities in England and Wales in a proportionate way.
The Government and the Welsh Assembly Government are therefore looking
to continue to make use of exemptions from permitting and to develop a
transparent, consistent way of doing so. This review does not affect the
position in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The aim of the review is to provide a more risk-based and proportionate
approach to the regulation of waste recovery and disposal operations,
complementing the proposed new environmental permitting and compliance
regime (EP). This discussion paper aims to facilitate engagement with
stakeholders on the review.
