CC2 Mitigation - Waste Minimisation

Proposals for development will not be permitted unless they are designed and constructed to minimise waste production and associated impacts through the re-use of construction and demolition materials.

For redevelopment proposals, where demolition forms part of a new build process, and also for new build proposals, the ICE Demolition

Protocol will be required to be followed to maximise the potential for the re-use of demolition waste.

Site Waste Management Plans, when required, must include procedures for minimising waste produced on site as well as sorting, re-using and recycling the waste that is produced.

Proposals for development will not be permitted unless they incorporate adequate space for the storage of recyclable and non-recyclable waste, where different waste streams can be segregated and collected, and, in the case of residential schemes, each dwelling with private garden space is equipped, where practicable, with a composting bin.
