Revocation of an environmental permit: general
22.—(1) The regulator may revoke an environmental permit in whole or in part.
(2) If the regulator revokes a permit in part, it may vary the permit conditions to the extent that it considers necessary to take account of the revocation.
(3) Where the regulator decides to revoke an environmental permit it must serve a notice on the operator specifying—
(a)the reasons for the revocation;
(b)in the case of a partial revocation—
(i)the extent to which the environmental permit is being revoked, and
(ii)any variation to the conditions of the environmental permit; and
(c)the date on which the revocation will take place, which must not be less than 20 working days from the date on which the notice is served.
(4) Unless the regulator withdraws a revocation notice, an environmental permit ceases to have effect on the date specified in the notice—
(a)in the case of a revocation in whole, entirely; or
(b)in the case of a partial revocation, to the extent of the part revoked.
(5) In the case of a partial revocation, the regulator may replace the environmental permit with a consolidated environmental permit reflecting the change.
(6) If the regulator issues such a consolidated permit—
(a)it must at the same time serve a notice on the operator specifying any variation to the permit conditions; and
(b)only the variations specified are subject to the right of appeal in regulation 31(1)(b).
