Part D – The Data Protection Act 1998
We, the Natural Resources Body for Wales (hereafter “Natural Resources Wales”), will process the information you provide so that we can:
- deal with your application;
- make sure you keep to the conditions of the licence, permit or registration;
- process renewals; and
- keep the public registers up to date.
- offer you documents or services relating to environmental matters;
- consult the public, public organisations and other organisations (for example, the Health and Safety Executive, local authorities, the emergency services, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) on environmental issues;
- carry out research and development work on environmental issues;
- provide information from the public register to anyone who asks;
- prevent anyone from breaking environmental law, investigate cases where environmental law may have been broken, and take any action that is needed;
- assess whether customers are satisfied with our service, and to improve our service; and
- respond to requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (if the Data Protection Act allows).
Part E – National security
Apart from the contact details for waste, we will normally put all the information in your application on a public register of environmental information. However, we may not include certain information on the public register if this is in the interest of national security.
You can tell the Welsh Ministers that you believe including information on a public register would not be in the interests of national security.
You must enclose a letter with your application telling us that you have told the Welsh Ministers and you must still include the information in your application. We will not include the information in the public register unless the Welsh Ministers decides that it should be included.
Tick the box below if you have written to the Welsh Ministers to claim national security for your application.
I attach a letter stating that I have written to the Welsh Ministers advising why my information should not be included on the public register for national security reasons / ☐ /
Note: We will not be able to progress your registration until we receive the decision from the Welsh Ministers and therefore is highly likely to delay your registration.
Part F –Declarations
F1 Warning
You must read this section before ticking the declaration and sending your form to us.
You must have the authority of the organisation that will carry out the exempt operation to send us this notice on their behalf.
Ticking ‘Yes’ in the declaration confirms that you have read the guidance, understood and accepted the specific conditions and limits of the exemption and that your operation will keep to them.
You will also be confirming that you will carry out your exempt operations without putting human health in danger and causing harm to the environment. In particular:
- without causing a risk to water, air, soil, plants or animals;
- without causing a nuisance through noise and odours; and
- without having a negative effect on the countryside or places of special interest.
If the site where you plan to carry out the operation is not developed, you should make sure that it will not affect any protected sites such as European sites or SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) or any protected species. It is less likely if your operation is based on, for example, an existing industrial site but you should still make some assessment.
For more information on protected sites and species, please visit our website, contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 065 3000 or email us at or .
F2Declaration
A relevant person should make the declaration.
Relevant people means each applicant, and in the case of a company, a director, manager, company secretary or any similar officer or employee listed on current appointments in Companies House. In the case of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), it includes any partner.
Important information on who needs to sign:
Each individual (or individual trustee) who is applying for their name to appear on the registration must complete this declaration.
You will have to print a separate copy of this page for each additional individual to complete.
To simplify and speed up the application process we recommend that the declaration in the application form is filled in by an officer of a company or one of the partners in a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).
If you wish a manager or other employee to sign the declaration on behalf of the company or LLP we will need written confirmation from a relevant person; that is, an officer of the company or a partner in the LLP confirming that the person has the authority to fill in the declaration.
Where the operator is the subject of any insolvency procedure it will be necessary for the declaration to be filled in by the official receiver/appointed insolvency practitioner.
If you deliberately or recklessly make a statement which is false or misleading to gain registration (for yourself or another person), you are committing an offence under Regulation 38 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
If you make a false or misleading statement:
● we may prosecute you; and
● if you are convicted, you will have to pay a fine or go to prison (or both).
I have included written confirmation from a relevant person to confirm I can sign on their behalf. / ☐ /
