| Synopsis: | As Scotland’s environmental regulator, SEPA issues a range of licences designed to control activities that could lead to pollution or environmental damage. Compliance with these licences is important in ensuring that the environment and human health are protected. SEPA believes that the industries and businesses it regulates should find it as easy as possible to understand their responsibilities, to comply with the regulations and to realise the many economic benefits of good environmental practice. For these reasons, SEPA has made a strong commitment in its Corporate Plan 2008 - 2011 to delivering a programme of Better Regulation. As part of this programme, improvements are being made to SEPA’s approach to assessing compliance with environmental licences, permits, authorisations and certain registrations (referred to generically as ‘licences’ in this consultation). This will lead to more effective, transparent and efficient regulation. |
