DMIN 4: Re-use and Recycling of Aggregates

The Council will promote the recycling of construction, demolition and excavation waste.

All developments will be encouraged to:

recycle and re-use construction, demolition and excavation waste as aggregates;
process and re-use the recyclable material on-site, and where this is not possible, the material should be re-used at another site or for land restoration; and
use substitute or recycled materials in new development in place of primary minerals.

Planning permission for aggregates recycling on active minerals extraction and landfill sites will be supported, subject to local amenity and other policies within the Local Plan. Applications for aggregates recycling sites in other areas such as Strategic Industrial Locations will be required to satisfy other relevant policies in the Local Plan including the West London Waste Plan.
