MIN18 Safeguarding of Existing Civic Amenity and Waste Transfer Sites

The local planning authority will normally oppose the use of existing civic amenity and waste transfer sites for purposes unconnected with waste handling, treatment, recycling, energy recovery or allied activities, unless:

  1. The local planning authority is satisfied that an alternative facility is available offering the same or enhanced benefits and has a secure long-term future; or
  2. It can be demonstrated conclusively that the long term changes in the nature and pattern of waste disposal have  removed the long term need for the civic amenity and/or waste transfer facility.
