The 1999 order makes composting of any animal products illegal - the correct answer to the question is "yes". The correct question to which the answer is "no" is "Will I need ...".

I can conceivably see | the reg. being applied to commercial composting companies. Look at the actual Statutory Instrument - I found it quickly using Google. From 1999 onwards, the situation was as I described. Regards, Nick Maclaren. Hang on, what are we talking about here? I was looking for info about how far the compost heap should be placed, and to the part of the quote that suggested we might need a licence. My comment "I can find no hints at all that this might be true....." was not meant to apply to the defra link, but the link from the article that I thought I'd put in my post but obviously didn't....oops.
