Isolated storage of Installation other than those covered by Schedule 4.

a. The quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between installations is not sufficient to avoid, in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each of the installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

b. For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical at an isolated storage, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is : -

(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it,

(ii) at any other site under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is 500 metres of the said site, and

(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it,

but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft for transporting it.
