On 20 April 2023 the NAQO, in concurrence with Local Atmospheric Emission Licensing Authority, granted postponement of compliance timeframes (“Postponement Decision”).
In the Postponement Decision, the NAQO granted significantly lower limits for the Phenosolvan depitcher and sand filter vents than those requested / applied for in the Postponement Application, as amended. SO therefore wishes to appeal against this, and only this, component of the Postponement Decision, and requests that the Postponement Decision be varied to authorise the alternative MES limits that the SO applied for, in respect of the Phenosolvan depitcher and sand filter vents, during the postponement period
To this end, an appeal was lodged with the Directorate: Appeals and Legal Review on 12 May 2023
