(1) This paragraph applies to any consent— (a) which was given under paragraph 2 of Schedule 10 to the Water Resources Act 1991 (discharge consents), as in force before the transfer date; and (b) which is in force immediately before that date. (2) On and after the transfer date, a consent to which this paragraph applies— (a) shall, for so long as it would have continued in force apart from this Act, have effect as a consent given under paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to that Act, as substituted by this Act, subject to the same conditions as were attached to the consent immediately before the transfer date; and (b) shall— (i) during the period of six months beginning with the transfer date, not be limited to discharges by any particular person but extend to discharges made by any person; and (ii) after that period, extend, but be limited, to discharges made by any person who before the end of that period gives notice to the Agency that he proposes to rely on the consent after that period.
