8 – Improvement or extension of existing facilities
Planning permission for the improvement or extension (physical or temporal) of existing waste management facilities will be granted where:
- Any resulting change to the type and/or quantity of waste managed at the site is consistent with this Plan’s requirements for the management of waste and that the quantity of waste to be managed is equal to or greater than the quantity of waste currently managed on site.
- Benefits to the environment and local amenity will result.
- The improvement or extension of a recycling and recovery facility (other than inert C,D&E and soil recycling facilities) is consistent with Policy 2.
- The improvement or extension of a facility for recycling of inert construction, demolition and excavation waste is consistent with Policy 3.
Proposals for the improvement or extension (physical or temporal) of facilities with temporary planning permission should include consideration of the original reason(s) for the permission being time limited and not result in development (or extensions to time) that would undermine them.
