This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit where one is required, or to register an activity as exempt where an appropriate exemption is available.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with these legal requirements if you meet the requirements in this RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
