CSW 7 Waste Management for Non-Hazardous Waste

Waste management capacity for non-hazardous waste that assists Kent in continuing to be net self-sufficient while providing for a reducing quantity of London’s waste, will be granted planning permission provided that:

  1. it moves waste up the hierarchy,
  2. recovery of by-products and residues is maximised
  3. energy recovery is maximised (utilising both heat and power)
  4. any residues produced can be managed or disposed of in accordance with the objectives of Policy CSW 2
  5. sites for the management of green waste and/or kitchen waste in excess of 100 tonnes per week are Animal By Product Regulation compliant (such as invessel composting or anaerobic digestion)
  6. sites for small-scale open composting of green waste (facilities of less than 100 tonnes per week) that are located within a farm unit and the compost is used within that unit.
