Hazardous Substances Consent

This page gives details of when Hazardous Substance Consent is required and if so how to apply.

Hazardous Substance Consent is required when substances on a site are at, or in excess of the 'controlled quantity' as set out in the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992 as amended by the Planning (Control of Major-Accident Hazards) Regulations 2005. These Statutory Instruments are available in the external links section below.
