Permitting Pitfalls?

摘要

This month we focus on a proposal to create a new, amalgamated, environmental regulatory body for Wales. This institutional shake-up could be significant for waste industry operators. We also consider a recent high-profile permitting decision relating to a power station in Wales, which highlights the potential for disagreement between environmental authorities in Wales and the regulatory risks lurking within the environmental permitting process, particularly when proposed facilities are in sensitive/protected areas.
