Applications, notices, etc.

Submission of applications and notices to Regulators
18
1
This article applies to an application, notice or report submitted to a Regulator under this Order or under an Emissions Monitoring Plan.
2
An application, notice or report—
a
must be in writing, and
b
unless the Regulator agrees otherwise in writing, must be made on a form provided by the Regulator for that purpose.
3
The Regulator must set out in the form—
a
the information required by the Regulator to determine the application, or
b
the matters required to be included in the notice or report.
4
Unless the Regulator agrees otherwise in writing—
a
the form must be submitted to the Regulator electronically and, if the form specifies an email address for submission, to that address, or
b
if the form is provided by the Regulator for submission through a website, the form must be submitted through the website and in accordance with any instructions given for completion and submission.
5
Unless the information has been provided in a previous application made to the Regulator, an application must set out—
a
the name, postal address, including postcode, and telephone number of the applicant, and
b
either—
i
an email address for service, or
ii
a postal address, including postcode, in the United Kingdom for service.
6
Subject to paragraph (7), an application must be accompanied by the charge for the application set out in the charging scheme published under article 43.
7
Where an application is submitted electronically, the charge may be sent to the Regulator separately from the application; and in that case, for the purposes of this Order, the application must be treated as not being received by the Regulator until the charge is also received.
8
An application may be withdrawn at any time before it is determined.
9
A Regulator may, by notice to an applicant, require the applicant to provide such further information specified in the notice, within the period specified, as the Regulator may require in order to determine the application.
10
For the purposes of this Order, the application must be treated as being withdrawn if—
a
the applicant fails to provide that information —
i
before the end of that period, or
ii
on or before such later date as may be agreed with the Regulator, and
b
the Regulator gives notice to the applicant that the application is treated as having been withdrawn.
