WP8 Nearby New Development Affecting Waste Sites
- New development should be designed to ensure that existing consented or safeguarded waste sites remain viable and can intensify without unreasonable restrictions being placed on them.
- Where new development is proposed that maybe affected by an existing consented or safeguarded waste site, the applicant should:
- Ensure that good design mitigates and minimizes existing and potential nuisances generated by the waste use, either existing, extant, a permission for additional capacity or developed for compensatory provision
- Explore mitigation measures early in the +design stage, with the necessary and appropriate provisions, including the ongoing and future management of mitigation measures, secured through planning conditions and obligations
- Engage early with the operators of the waste site to ensure a full understand of the operation (including on-site activities and hours of operation) and to ensure baseline assessments are robust.
- Waste development for the intensification of sites should seek to result in sub-regional job creation and resulting social benefits, including skills, training, and apprenticeship opportunities.
