Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change the legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation to store waste cleared from empty properties by local authorities or housing associations.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
