3 – Recycling of Inert Construction, Demolition and Excavation Waste

Planning permission for the development of inert C,D&E waste recycling facilities will be granted where, either:

  • The site is allocated in the Aggregates Recycling Joint Development Plan Document, or
  • the site is a mineral working where the nature and duration of the proposed activity is limited to the consented operation and/or restoration of the mineral working, or
  • the site is for landraising or landfilling where the nature and duration of the proposed operations is limited to the consented activity, or
  • the site is otherwise suitable for inert C, D & E waste recycling operations when assessed against policies in the Surrey Waste Local Plan and the Spatial Strategy.

Planning permission for the development of inert C, D & E waste recycling operations located with types of development other than those mentioned above will be granted where it can be demonstrated that there are benefits from their co-location which may include:

  • More efficient production, in terms of quantity or quality, of secondary and recycled aggregate.
  • Fewer lorry movements would be required as a result of co-location.
  • An additional beneficial use is associated with inert C, D & E waste processing at the site e.g. use of the recycled inert C, D & E waste materials within the development.
