DMEI 13: Importation of Waste Material

A) Development proposals that include the importation of waste material (inert or otherwise) must be accompanied by a monitoring plan that includes:

  • the amount and types of material to be imported;
  • the timetable for disposal;
  • onsite precautions to be taken to ensure only authorised vehicles and waste will be allowed on to site; and
  • methods for reviewing and reporting on the progress of the disposal to the Local Planning Authority.

B) On commencement of the disposal operation the applicant will provide a written report in accordance with A) iv) above that provides details of:

  • the types and quantities of waste that have been imported, including carrier notices where appropriate;
  • the source of the waste imported to the site;
  • appropriate details of the company/companies importing the material; and
  • updates in accordance with A) iv) pertaining to the progress of material importation and disposal in compliance with the approved plans

C) Where assurances cannot be given that the appropriate protection and safeguards can be implemented, then the Council will expect the applicant to provide contingency plans including providing security bonds (through legal agreements) to ensure any subsequent harm can be remediated and the site made good.

D) Proposals that include the importation of waste materials (inert or otherwise) that are not accompanied by the appropriate level of controls or safeguards will not be supported.
