15 SEPA guidance indicates the theoretical capacity is the capacity at which the plant could operate if it ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. SEPA will acknowledge real, physical or legal restrictions to this maximum value. Therefore when calculating capacity for activities it is the design capability (or where that is not known proposed future output) as assessed over a 24 hour day and a 7 day working week subject to real physical or legal restrictions. Such restrictions might include for example, a planning condition limiting the number of hours an installation may operate. It should be noted that where an operator chooses not to use an available production line this would not be considered as a real physical or legal restriction.

16 Point 1 of Article 2 of Directive 2009/158/EC, which replaces Directive 90/539/EEC.

17 A letter to operators participating in the current National Emission Reduction Plan and to representatives other large combustion plant interests was sent by Defra on 28 December 2011.
