Environmental Appeals

Please note: Appeal decisions are not being published on the site but can be obtained from Decisions on Appeals page.

Hazardous Substances Consent Appeals

Different types and quantities of substances which are subject to control are specified in the Town and Country Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992. The consent of the Hazardous Substances Authority (HAS) is required to the keeping of the prescribed amount of any such substance. Section 21 of the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 makes provisions for appealing to the National Assembly for Wales . You should notify us if you are appealing, or intend to appeal against a refusal of Planning permission for a related development proposal, as we will probably deal with both appeals together. These notes outline the circumstances under which you may make an appeal and the procedure for doing so.
