DM13: Refuse and Recycling
DM13.1:
To ensure that the location and design of refuse and recycling facilities are treated as an integral element of the overall design, the Council will require developments to:
- Sensitively integrate refuse and recycling facilities within the building envelope, or, in conversions, where that is not possible, integrate within the landscape covered facilities that are located behind the building line where they will not be visually intrusive or compromise the provision of shared amenity space;
- Ensure facilities are visually screened;
- Provide adequate space for the temporary storage of waste (including bulky waste) materials generated by the development; and
- Provide layouts that ensure facilities are safe, conveniently located and easily accessible by occupants, operatives and their vehicles.
DM13.2:
To ensure existing and future waste can be sustainably and efficiently managed the Council will require a waste management plan for major developments and for developments that are likely to generate large amounts of waste.
