13 – Sustainable Design
Planning permission for waste development will be granted where it can be demonstrated that the development follows relevant best practice. All proposals for waste development should demonstrate that:
- The development is of a scale, form and character appropriate to its location.
- Any associated lower-carbon energy generation such as heat recovery and the recovery of energy from gas produced from the waste activity is maximised.
- During its construction and operation measures are included to:
- Maximise landscape enhancements and biodiversity gains, and other measures that may contribute to green infrastructure provision.
- Maximise efficiency of water use.
- Minimise greenhouse gas emissions, including through energy efficiency.
- Ensure resilience and enable adaptation to a changing climate.
