These Regulations amend the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43) and the Environment Act 1995 (c. 25) for England and Wales in connection with Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste.
The amendments to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 by inserting sections giving a waste regulation authority or waste collection authority the power to issue a notice in respect of waste which is unlawfully kept or disposed of in or on land within the authority’s area.
The Environment Act 1995 is also amended by inserting sections which give the Environment Agency and the Natural Resources Body for Wales the power to issue a “restriction notice” and to apply to the courts for a “restriction order”. A restriction notice is a notice prohibiting access and the importation of waste to premises for a period specified in the notice of no more than 72 hours. A restriction order is an order made by the courts which prohibits access and the importation of waste to the premises for a period specified in the order, which may not exceed 6 months.
