Waste Management Plan
Proposed new development should be supported by
site waste management plans of the type encouraged by the code of practice
published in 2004 by the Department of Trade and Industry now the Department
for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Site Waste Management Plans:
guidance for construction contractors and clients. These do not require formal
approval by planning authorities, but are intended to encourage the
identification of the volume and type of material to be demolished and/or
excavated, opportunities for the reuse and recovery of materials and to
demonstrate how off-site disposal of waste will be minimised and managed.
Defra have consulted on whether site waste
management plans should become a statutory requirement. Regulations are
expected to come into force in April 2008.
