DM10 Waste Management
The Council will ensure that there is adequate provision for the storage and recycling of waste and that these facilities are fully integrated into design proposals. New development will only be supported where:
- The siting or design of waste/recycling areas would not result in any adverse impact to residential or work place amenities
- Waste/recycling areas can be easily accessed (and moved) by occupiers and local authority/private waste providers
- There would be no obstruction of pedestrian, cyclists or driver sight lines
New development will be expected to contribute to reducing the amount of waste generated through the following measures where possible:
- Re-using materials wherever possible as part of construction
- Enable the sorting of waste and recycling on-site taking into account impact on residential amenities and the environment
- Using pre-cast/pre-fabricated materials and modular construction
- Allocating appropriate refuse and recycling storage facilities for domestic kerbside collection, composting facilities and commercial waste recycling facilities.
