Best Available Techniques definition

What does Best Available Techniques mean? The practical benchmark used in environmental permitting to prevent or minimise pollution from industrial installations, requiring operators to apply the most effective and advanced methods that are technically and economically viable, judged on their ability to reduce emissions and impacts on the environment as a whole, without mandating a single technology. The concept is defined in legislation implementing the Industrial Emissions regime: the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016, the Pollution Prevention and control (Scotland) Regulations 2012, the Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013, and in Ireland through EU Industrial Emissions legislation and EPA licensing....

Q&As

This Q&A assumed that:

the OCGT does not constitute an offshore combustion installation
it is a new combustion plant and is not covered by an exemption under the transitional national plan

Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (Recast) (the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)) seeks to secure a high standard of safeguarding for human health and the environment overall, by cutting detrimental industrial discharges to air, water and land, and by preventing waste generation, throughout the EU. For numerous activities, it delivers this by obliging the relevant industrial installations to operate under a permit, setting out conditions that have to be strictly met in full at all times, as specified within permits.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
