PART 4Registrations

Registrations15

A regulated activity is authorised under these Regulations where an authorised person has been granted a registration by SEPA for the carrying on of the activity.

Application for a registration16

An application to SEPA for a registration must be made in accordance with schedule 1 by a person who has, or will have, control over the regulated activity sought to be authorised.

Form and content of a registration17

1

A registration granted by SEPA must be in writing and must specify—

a

the activity authorised;

b

the authorised person;

c

the standard conditions to which the registration is subject;

d

the date on which the registration takes effect; and

e

the authorised place.

2

A registration has effect subject to the standard conditions specified in accordance with paragraph (1)(c) and (5) and regulation 19(4).

3

A reference in a registration to standard conditions is to the conditions as revised from time to time.

4

SEPA may specify in a registration that the registration ceases to have effect on a specified date.

5

SEPA may, after a registration is granted, from time to time specify in writing that a registration is to be subject to either or both—

a

different standard conditions;

b

additional standard conditions.

Grant of a registration18

1

SEPA may grant a registration authorising the carrying on of one or more regulated activities.

2

SEPA may grant a registration authorising a regulated activity at one or more than one place.

3

SEPA must not grant a registration unless it is satisfied that the applicant—

a

is the person who has or will have control over the regulated activity; and

b

is a fit and proper person to be in control of the activity.

Variation of registrations19

1

SEPA may vary a registration in accordance with schedule 1 on the application of the authorised person (“an application for variation”) for one of the purposes specified in paragraph (2).

2

The purposes are to—

a

increase the number of regulated activities authorised by the registration;

b

increase the extent of the site of an authorised place;

c

increase the number of places at which the authorised activity may be carried on.

3

SEPA must not grant an application for variation unless it is satisfied that the authorised person—

a

is the person who will have control over the regulated activities which would be authorised by the registration if the application for variation were granted; and

b

is a fit and proper person to be in control of the regulated activities which would be authorised by the registration if the application for variation were granted.

4

Where SEPA grants an application for variation, it may—

a

specify that the registration is to be subject to different standard conditions; and

b

specify that the registration is to be subject to additional standard conditions,

to take account of the variation.
