DM8 - Refuse, recycling and external plant

Appropriate waste and recycling facilities must be provided on all new developments, including changes of use. Proposals will be acceptable provided that:

  • The location and design of bin storage, waste facilities and any proposed external plant, such as air conditioning units and extract flues, have been considered at the outset and are integral to the development,
  • The design and siting of bin storage and external plant respect the visual amenities of the host building and the area, and
  • Storage points for refuse and recycling are accessible for collection vehicles as well as regular users.
