Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Third Party Representations etc) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (S.S.I. No. 553 of 2006).

These Regulations amend the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 so as to insert a new regulation 15A. This requires Scottish Environment Protection Agency to notify third parties who have made representations in respect of applications for authorizations or their variation or surrender under the principal Regulations of its proposed decision. Third parties may then notify their objection to the proposed decision to the Scottish Ministers. The Scottish Ministers may direct SEPA to refer applications to them for determination under regulation 17 of the 2005 Regulations. The Regulations extend the application of the Scottish Ministers' powers under regulation 17 to applications for variation and surrender of authorizations.
