49—Causing site contamination (section 103D)
(1) Subject to this
regulation, the commencement or revival of a particular use of a site is a
prescribed change of use for the purposes of section 103D(2) of the Act
if—

use supersedes a previous use of the site; or
(b) the
commencement of the use or the revival of the use follows upon a period of
non-use; or
(c) the
use is additional to a previously established use of the site which continues
despite the commencement of the new use.
(2) The revival of a
use of a site after a period of discontinuance will be regarded as the
continuation of an existing use unless—
(a) the
period intervening between the discontinuance and revival of the use exceeds
two years; or
(b)
during the whole or a part of the period intervening between its
discontinuance and revival, the use was superseded by some other use.
