(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Planning (Control of Major-Accident Hazards) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 ("the 2009 Regulations") implemented, in relation to Scotland, the land use planning provisions of Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances (O.J. No. L. 10, 14.1.1997, p.13) ("the Seveso II Directive"), as amended by Council Directive 2003/105/EC (O.J. No. L. 345, 31.12.2003, p.97).
As part of the implementation of the Seveso II Directive, the 2009 Regulations substituted a new Schedule 1 to the Town and Country Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Regulations 1993 (the 1993 Regulations). Regulation 2 corrects an error in the substituted Schedule 1.
Regulation 3 confers transitional immunity from prosecution and contravention proceedings for a period of six months from the day these Regulations came into force. During this time an application for consent may be made.
No impact assessment has been prepared for this instrument as its only purpose is to correct the error in the substituted Schedule 1 to the 1993 Regulations.
1997 c.10; section 38(2) attracts the definition of "prescribed" from section 277(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (c.8). The functions of the Secretary of State under these sections in or as regards Scotland were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46). Back [1]
