New Format for Part B Consents

We have updated the formats of the consents for Part B releases. The previous system was essentially descriptive, whereas this new format separates out and highlights the key requirements and applies them in a prescriptive manner.

The original applications will now be indexed via this page and copies are still available from Defra on request (see Contacts).
