CSW 3 Waste Reduction

All new development should minimise the production of construction, demolition and excavation waste and manage any waste in accordance with the objectives of Policy CSW 2.

The following details shall be submitted with the planning application, except for householder applications:

  1. the measures to be taken to show compliance with this policy
  2. the details of the nature and quantity of any construction, demolition and excavation waste and its subsequent management

New development should include detailed consideration of waste arising from the occupation of the development including consideration of how waste will be stored, collected and managed.

In particular proposals should ensure that:

  1. there is adequate temporary storage space for waste generated by that development allowing for the separate storage of recyclable materials; and
  2. as necessary, there is adequate communal storage for waste, including separate recyclables, pending its collection; and
  3. storage and collection systems (e.g. any dedicated rooms, storage areas and chutes or underground waste collection systems), for waste are of high quality design and are incorporated in a manner which will ensure there is adequate and convenient access for users and waste collection operatives and will contribute to the achievement of waste management targets; and
  4. adequate contingency measures are in place to manage any mechanical breakdowns. All relevant proposals should be accompanied by a recycling & waste management strategy which considers the above matters and demonstrates the ability to meet local authority waste management targets.
