5 – Recovery of Inert Waste to Land

Planning permission for the recovery of inert waste to land will be granted where this is necessary to implement mineral restoration and non-inert landfill restoration schemes and for other development involving the deposit of inert waste on land that will not prejudice mineral restoration and non-inert landfill restoration activity within the county if:

  • There is a significant benefit or improvement from the development.
  • The benefit or improvement cannot practicably and reasonably be met in any other way.
  • The waste cannot practicably and reasonably be re-used, recycled or processed in any other way.
  • The use of the inert waste material replaces the need for non-waste materials.
  • The development involves the minimum quantity of waste necessary.
