Defra Decision Deferred

The consultation peiod on waste exemptions from environmental permitting - to which the National Federation of Demolition Contractors has been a respondent - has been extended by Defra following a high level of responses.

Defra reports that the original proposal was to implement revised regulations by October 2009. However, the high level of stakeholder engagement during and since the consultation has led to an increased number of policy issues requiring resolution. Defra, Welsh Assembly Government and the Environment Agency have therefore decided to put back the implementation of new regulations until the next available opportunity in April 2010.
