This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

6.—(1) An owner or occupier of a relevant holding who is sent a notice under regulation 5(3)(b) may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal(1) against the proposals referred to in the notice.

(2) For the purposes of rule 22(2)(g) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009(2) (notice of appeal: grounds), the only grounds of an appeal under this regulation are that the relevant holding (or any part of it)—

(a)does not drain into water which the Secretary of State proposes to identify, or to continue to identify, as polluted or which has been similarly identified in Wales or Scotland, or

(b)drains into water which the Secretary of State should not identify, or should not continue to identify, as polluted.

(3) If the First-tier Tribunal upholds an appeal under paragraph (2)(a), the Secretary of State, when acting under regulation 4(5), must treat the relevant holding (or the part of it in respect of which the appeal was upheld) as not draining into the water concerned.

(4) If the First-tier Tribunal upholds an appeal under paragraph (2)(b), the Secretary of State, when acting under regulation 4(5), must—

(a)treat the water concerned as water which should not be identified, or should not continue to be identified, as polluted, and

(b)treat any holding (or part of any holding) which drains into that water accordingly (regardless of whether the owner or occupier of the relevant holding appealed under this regulation).

(1)

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
