35 Waste management

The Council will support residential, commercial and mixed use development proposals that:

  • Provide adequate internal storage space within their premises to enable the occupiers to separate, store and recycle their waste;
  • Provide adequate, secure, external or communal storage facilities on site which allow for the separate storage and collection of waste, reusable items, recyclable materials and compostable waste;
  • Include on-site waste management, which minimises the need for waste transfer, where it is feasible to do so;
  • Allow for convenient and safe access to manage waste, including for older persons or persons with disabilities;
  • Allow for convenient and safe access for waste collection services;
  • Implements high quality design solutions to minimise the adverse visual impact of waste facilities on site;
  • Enable waste from mixed-use schemes to be segregated in separate secured areas; and viii. Provide innovative solutions to reduce waste at source.

All major development proposals must be accompanied by a Waste Management Plan which demonstrates how the criteria set out above will be achieved.
