Anyone else had an email from the EA regarding the above? It seems they are changing some of the exemptions, abolishing some categories entirely and altering the conditions of others, including ones used by farms such as U1 and D7.
What seems to be the most problematic change to U1 is that they are saying you can't continually register it any more, as far as I can see. The FAQs are here: https://wasteexemptions.service.gov.uk/Getting_ready_for_change
If you go to Question 10 which specifically mentions farms, and click on the link to the new U1 conditions you see the following:

Types of activity you cannot carry out
You cannot:- treat waste to make it suitable to use - see related exemptions T5, T6 and T7 (you need to register T7 with your local authority), for treatment options
- dispose of waste by using waste that is unsuitable or by using more waste than is needed. You need to be able to justify the amount needed
- use waste for land reclamation, for example by infilling a hollow
- register this exemption more than once at the same place for 3 years after registration
- de-register and then renew this exemption at the same place within a 3 year period
- store the waste for longer than 12 months before you use it
