The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 S.I. No. 1154 ("the 2016 Regulations") consolidate and replace the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 S.I. No. 675 which had been amended 15 times. The 2016 Regulations set out an Environmental Permitting and compliance regime that applies to various activities and industries[1].

As well as consolidating and updating the legislation, there is also a set of amendments to the 2016 Regulations which revise the rules for mobile crushing of lamps that contain mercury (the T17 exemption)[1]. This restricts those who are able to crush lamps under the T17 and reduce the number of lamps whcih can be crushed without a permit[1].
