39 Secondary aggregate

The Council will require applicants to minimise the quantity of primary aggregate and resources necessary to facilitate a development and the amount of waste generated through:

  • Appropriate design;
  • Good practices; and
  • The recycling of construction materials containing minerals.

In respect of the above, maximum possible rates of recovery from construction, demolition and excavation waste will be encouraged through the re-use and recycling of materials on-site.

The Council will support applications for temporary aggregate recycling facilities at development sites and quarries, subject to compliance with the other relevant policies of the Local Plan and the use ceasing and all plant being removed once the development is complete and/or restored.
