Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, prescribe the contents of anti-pollution works notices served under section 46A of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (“the 1974 Act”), the procedure to be followed in relation to appeals to the Scottish Ministers against such notices and the procedures relating to compensation for rights of entry in connection with anti-pollution works paid under section 46B of that Act (regulations 3 to 8 and the Schedule).

They also amend the Control of Pollution (Registers) (Scotland) Regulations 1993 so as to apply the general provisions as to entries on the register kept by SEPA under section 41 of the 1974 Act to works notices, appeals against works notices and convictions under section 46D of the 1974 Act, and to prescribe the particulars of such notices, appeals and convictions to be placed on the register (regulation 9).
