SP6: Waste and Recycling
The Council supports the objectives of sustainable waste management set out by the Government in PPS10 Planning for Sustainable Waste Management and the Mayor’s London Plan. To achieve these, the Council shall:
- Safeguard existing waste sites unless compensatory provision is made;
- Maximise self-sufficiency in waste management capacity;
- Seek to minimise waste creation, increase recycling rates in relation to commercial, industrial and municipal waste in order to achieve the Mayor’s recycling targets;
- Address waste as a resource and look to disposal as the last option, in line with the Mayor’s waste hierarchy;
- Require integrated, well-designed recycling facilities to be incorporated into all new developments;
- Monitor changes in the stock of waste management facilities, waste arisings, and the amount of waste recycled, recovered and going for disposal; and
- Continue working with its partners in the North London Waste Authority to adopt the North London Waste Plan (NLWP) which has identified locations suitable for waste management facilities to meet the London Plan apportionment of 1.9 2.1m tonnes and the Haringey apportionment of 237,000 182,000 tonnes.
Haringey will require Site Waste Management Plans for all major applications to identify volume and types of demolition and construction waste and to demonstrate how waste will be minimised and managed during construction and occupation.
New waste management facilities will be required to take into account and minimise pollution and nuisance issues. This is addressed in more detail in the Development Management Policies document.
