To ask the Scottish Government what criteria SEPA uses when determining whether to revoke a non-compliant license.
The various legal regimes under which SEPA regulates different activities each set out specific provisions on when SEPA may revoke environmental authorisations. When deciding whether revocation of an environmental authorisation is appropriate, SEPA will consider its Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Guidance which can be found at https://www.sepa.org.uk/regulations/enforcement/ .
