The competent authority may take into account the following requirements:

(3) Any natural or legal person intending to carry out recycling or other recovery operations in which waste ceases to be waste in accordance with sub-regulation (1) is to obtain a permit from the competent authority prior to any transfer of the resulting material:

Provided that an application for a permit to reach end-of-waste submitted by any person to the competent authority for a decision under sub-regulation (2) shall contain at least the information set out in Part A of Schedule 10.
