11.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), regulations 43, 44 and 48 of the 1995 Regulations (requirement to consider effect on certain sites) apply with the necessary modifications to the granting or modification of a licence under these Regulations as they apply to the matters specified in regulations 49 to 64 of the 1995 Regulations but as if—
(a)references to the competent authority were references to the Department;
(b)references to any consent, permission or other authorisation were references to a licence under these Regulations;
(c)references to any plan or project were references to any controlled activity; and
(d)regulations 43(3) and 44(3),(4), (5) and (6) were omitted.
(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall require the making of an appropriate assessment in connection with a controlled activity where such an assessment has already been carried out in connection with that activity under any other statutory provision.
(3) In this regulation “appropriate assessment” has the same meaning as in the 1995 Regulations.
