Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit or comply with a registered U4 waste exemption for the burning of waste as a fuel in a small appliance.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in this RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
