There have been changes here, it is now possible to apply for a single licence for a scheme, i.e. a road, or a gas pipeline, rather than for a site. This appears to be to facilitate the large amounts of bureaucracy involved in changing licences or getting new ones if sites turn up where they are not supposed to be, like in the middle of the brand new motorway which will just get us all to the traffic jams five minutes quicker! It is also possible to change directors on sites without endless hoop jumping. Anyway, haven't gotten to the bottom of this change yet, so I'm not quite sure how it works, but this new system has probably been in use for near enough to a year now.
