Section 90 of the new Part 4 deals comprehensively with the mandatory circumstances, from Article 13 of the directive, in which a licence must be reviewed. These circumstances, in section 90(4)(a), are as follows: if emissions from the activity are deemed to be of such significance that existing emission limit values, parameters or technical measures need to be reviewed; if substantial changes in BAT make it possible to reduce emissions significantly without imposing excessive costs; if the operational safety of the activity requires techniques other than those currently in use; if a review is required due to any act adopted by an institution of the European Communities or an agreement entered into by the State or an enactment passed since the licence was granted or reviewed.
