EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision concerning the removal of abandoned vehicles and the disposal of removed vehicles by district councils under Articles 30 and 31 of the Pollution Control and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (N.I.19) as amended by the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 (c.23 (N.I.)).
The Regulations prescribe the period during which the occupier of land may object to the removal of an abandoned vehicle from that land (regulation 3) and the period during which the owner of a vehicle may remove it from the custody of a district council (regulations 4 and 5).
A regulatory impact assessment on the effect of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill (Northern Ireland) is available on the Department’s website (vehicles are dealt with on pp.6 to 7). A separate regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as they have no impact on the cost to business.
