DM 17.2 Designing Out Construction Waste

New development should be designed to minimise the impact of deconstruction and construction waste on the environment through:

  • reuse of existing structures;
  • building design which minimises wastage and makes use of recycled materials;
  • recycling of deconstruction waste for reuse on site where feasible;
  • transport of waste and construction materials by rail or river wherever practicable;
  • application of current best practice with regard to air quality, dust, hazardous waste, waste handling and waste management.
