EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement Article 30 of Directive 2012/18/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances (OJ L 197, 24.7.2012, p.1), which amends Council Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances (OJ L 10, 14.1.1997, p.13).
To this end regulation 2 inserts “heavy fuel oils” to the list of hazardous substances and controlled quantities in Schedule 1 to the Town and Country Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Regulations 1993.
Regulation 3 confers transitional immunity from prosecution and contravention proceedings for a period of 6 months from the day these Regulations come into force. During that time an application for consent may be made.
Any impacts arising to businesses are considered negligible, and there are no direct impacts to the third sector, therefore a Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment is not required.
