10: Waste Prevention and Minimisation in New Development
Proposals for new development should support the efficient use and recovery of resources throughout the life of the development including construction and operation and/or occupation through:
- Design principles and construction methods that minimise the use of primary minerals and encourage the use of building materials made from recycled and alternative materials; and
- Construction and demolition methods that minimise waste production, maximise the re-use and recovery of materials (as far as practicable) on-site and minimise off-site disposal; and
- Design and layout that complements sustainable waste management by providing appropriate storage and segregation facilities.
Proposals for major development should identify measures to support implementation of the waste hierarchy during construction and demolition (where applicable), including quantity and type(s) of waste expected to be generated.
Proposals for major development that seeks to deliver the housing requirement or employment land will be encouraged to incorporate neighbourhood waste management facilities (where appropriate).
