EP16 - HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

The Council will not grant Hazardous Substances Consent for the use or storage of controlled quantities of hazardous substances, as defined in Schedule 1 of the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992, where there would be a risk to the people living in or using the surrounding area. Where the Council, after consultation with the Health and Safety Executive, is minded to grant permission, conditions will be imposed to ensure that the development is properly controlled.

Development in close proximity to hazardous substances will not be permitted unless it can be proven that there would be no risk to the potential occupants of the proposed development.
