For other relevant provisions about giving a document to the Minister, see section 411 . The amended provisions of the GHG permit or the proposed later work program must not be— inconsistent with the mandatory conditions for GHG permits; or the same as or substantially the same as or inconsistent with any relevant environmental condition. s 47 amd 2012 No. 20 s 281 sch 2 (sec.47-ssec.1) The Minister may amend a GHG permit by adding excluded land for the GHG permit to its area only if— the GHG permit as amended complies with section 44 ; and the GHG permit holder consents.
