6 – Disposal of Non-inert Waste to Land

Planning permission for development involving disposal of non-inert waste to land will be granted where:

  • The waste to be disposed of is the residue of a treatment process and cannot practicably and reasonably be re-used, recycled or recovered.
  • There is a clearly established need for the additional waste disposal to land capacity which cannot practicably be met at existing permitted sites.
  • Best practice measures are included to ensure maximum practicable recovery of energy from landfill gas.
  • The resulting final landform, landscaping and after-uses are sympathetically designed and enhance the natural environment.
  • In the case of landraise proposals for non-inert waste, in addition to the requirements (i) to (iv) above, permission will only be granted if all existing permitted land disposal and mineral working sites have been investigated and eliminated as unsuitable for non-inert waste disposal.
