DM4: Provision and Design of Waste Management Facilities
- All proposals should consider how to sustainably manage waste arising from the development during the design, construction and occupation phases of new developments.
- All proposals will be required to make on-site provision for general waste, the separation of recyclable materials and organic material for composting. The on-site provision must:
- Ensure adequate dedicated internal and external storage space to manage the volume of waste arising from the site;
- Provide accessible and safe access to onsite storage facilities, both for occupiers and collection operatives, including vehicles, having regard to the Council’s Refuse Collection Strategy;
- Be located and screened to avoid nuisance and adverse impact on visual and other amenity to occupiers and neighbouring uses, and are within the maximum permitted carrying and reversing distances; and
- For mixed-use development, suitably separate household and commercial waste.
- In addition, proposals for new multi-storey flatted residential development will be required to make provision for:
- Adequate temporary storage space within each flat, allowing for separate storage of recyclable materials;
- Adequate communal storage for waste, including separate storage for recyclables, pending its collection; and
- Storage and collection systems at each floor (such as dedicated rooms, storage areas and chutes or underground waste collection systems) which are sensitively integrated into the development, with the Council giving preference to basement servicing over the use of forecourts or ground floor internal storage.
