DM11 Waste Recycling Facilities in New Development

  • All development which generates waste will be required to make on-site provision for general waste, the separation of recyclable materials and organic material for composting. The onsite provision must:
    1. ensure adequate dedicated internal and external storage space to manage the volume of waste arising from the site;
    2. provide accessible and safe access to onsite storage facilities, both for occupiers and collection operatives including vehicles; and
    3. be located and screened to avoid nuisance and adverse impact on visual and other amenity to occupiers and neighbouring uses; and
    4. for mixed use development, suitably separate household and commercial waste.
  • Proposals for new flatted residential development will be required to make provision for:
    1. adequate storage space within each flat, allowing for separate storage of recyclable materials; and
    2. adequate communal storage for waste, including separate storage for recyclables and organic material for composting pending its collection
