WASTE LEGISLATION, POLICY AND


GUIDANCE

2.1

INTRODUCTION

2.1.1

This section contains details of the national legislation that have relevance to the Proposed
Development. National, regional and local waste policy and guidance reviewed during the
preparation of this Waste Management Strategy are listed below.

2.2

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

2.2.1

A list of relevant items of national waste legislation is outlined below in reverse chronological
order:
The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 (as amended) - These regulations
implement the revised EU Waste Framework Directive which sets requirements for the
collection, transport, recovery and disposal of waste. Waste producers or those handling waste
must apply the waste hierarchy as specified in the Waste Framework Directive (prevention,
prepare for reuse, recycling, recovery, disposal), unless it can be justified on environmental or
technical grounds that this is not appropriate. Regulation 35 in Part 9 sets out the requirements
for transfer of waste and associated duty of care obligations. From 1 January 2015, waste
collection authorities and contractors are required to collect waste paper, metal, plastic and
glass separately.
Revised Waste Framework Directive (2008) The WFD clarifies the definition of waste and
of other concepts such as recycling and recovery. It has applied a new waste hierarchy,
expanded the polluter pays principle by emphasising producer responsibility, applies more
stringent waste reduction and waste management targets for Member States and requires
enhanced content in waste management plans. Annex III lays out the revised properties of
waste that render it hazardous.
Environmental Protection Act 1990. Waste Management, The Duty of Care Code of
Practice 2016 - This code of practice replaces the 1996 Code and is pursuant to Section 34(9)
of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. It was made public on 11 March 2016 following a
number of public consultations on how the code could be updated to better reflect current
legislation and best practice e.g. applying the waste hierarchy. It sets out practical guidance on
how to meet waste duty of care requirements and is admissible as evidence in legal
proceedings i.e. its rules will be taken into account where relevant in any case based on
breach of the duty of care.
Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA 1990) - Part II of the act was originally
implemented by the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991. The Duty of
Care is a legal requirement for those dealing with certain types of waste to take all reasonable
steps to keep it safe and is set out in Section 34 of the Act. The Waste (England and Wales)
Regulations 2011 repealed the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991 and
apply the Duty of Care requirements brought in by the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

MANAGEMENT OF DEMOLITION AND


CONSTRUCTION WASTE

3.1

INTRODUCTION

3.1.1

The following sections detail how overarching waste management processes and practices will be
undertaken during the demolition and construction phase.

3.1.2

Additional information is provided in the Outline Construction Environmental Management Plan


(CEMP), located in Appendix 2.1 of the Environmental Statement.

3.1.3

It should be noted that planning permission will be sought for the approval of reserved matters to
be made in a series of phases within a period extending up to 15 years from the date of the hybrid
planning consent.
Assumed start date: 2017
Assumed implementation period: 15-20 years

3.1.4

An outline phasing and delivery strategy has been submitted with the hybrid application which
sets out:
Phasing/sequencing triggers that are necessary to define as part of the outline consent; and
An indication of how the approved development could be implemented (in terms of the spatial
extent and composition of phases, and the sequence in which these come forward).

3.1.5

We will propose a condition that requires a detailed phasing strategy to be prepared/approved by


the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development, which will include
provision for review during the course of the implementation stage.

3.1.6

The applicant intends to perform the role of master-developer. It will be responsible for site
preparation/enabling/infrastructure works and the development of some of the employment and
housing phases. Other phases will be sold as serviced development parcels to other
developers/housebuilders who will be responsible for development.

3.2

CONSIDERATE CONSTRUCTORS SCHEME

3.2.1

The Proposed Development will be delivered through a phased strategy over a period of 15 to 20
years, and therefore the expectation is that the principal contractors for each phase, once
appointed, will register their site(s) with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. This is a national
initiative, set up by the construction industry. Sites that register with the scheme sign up and are
monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond
statutory requirements.

3.2.2

The scheme is concerned about any area of construction activity that may have a direct or indirect
impact on the image of the industry as a whole. The main areas of concern fall into three main
categories: the environment, the workforce and the general public. Waste management is a key
area of focus and on-site considerations may include:

Stone Hill Park


Stone Hill Park Limited
Confidential

WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff


Project No 70009799
May 2016

How waste is avoided, reduced, reused, and/or recycled;


Whether there is a Waste Management Plan/Strategy and how this is monitored; and
The type of feedback received (if any) as to how much waste on-site is diverted from landfill.
3.2.3

It is expected that registered construction sites work in an environmentally conscious, sustainable


manner.

3.3

SITE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS

3.3.1

Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) provide a structure for systematic waste management
at all stages of a project's delivery and are still considered to be an example of best practice for
managing construction waste. They also remain a requirement to achieve credits for waste within
the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM).
SWMPs will therefore be commissioned by the applicant or their principal contractors once
appointed.

3.4

DEMOLITION WASTE

3.4.1

The Proposed Development includes the demolition of 12,978m 2 of existing on-site structures,
and parts of the taxiways and runway.

3.4.2

At this stage it is not possible to quantify the types and volumes of waste that will arise from the
proposed demolition works.
DEMOLITION PROCESS

3.4.3

A detailed pre-demolition audit will be undertaken by appointed contractors before such activities
take place, to quantify the types of demolition waste materials.

3.4.4

Materials will be segregated into waste streams such as metals, timber and hardcore. The
separated materials will be loaded as required for off-site recycling or disposal. The demolition
contractors will work closely with the applicant to ensure full compliance and deliverability of
recycling targets.

3.4.5

Demolition arisings will be crushed on-site where possible and stored in central stock piles for use
in the construction process. Any materials not used on site will be removed by licensed waste
carriers and sent for reuse at another local development site or sent for disposal at appropriately
licensed facilities.
SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORKS

3.4.6

Waste arising from site clearance, primary infrastructure and earthworks is expected to comprise
rubble, hard standing, soil, clay and possibly contaminated material.

3.4.7

Any clean excavated material that cannot be reused on-site will be removed by licensed waste
carriers and sent for reuse at another local development site or sent for disposal at appropriately
licensed facilities (these are expected to be inert waste landfill sites).

MANAGEMENT OF CONTAMINATED MATERIAL
3.4.8

Any contaminated material that will require removal from the Proposed Development will be
collected by suitable waste carriers and sent for disposal at appropriately licensed hazardous
waste facilities.
ASBESTOS

3.4.9

If Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are identified at the Proposed Development, notification
will be issued to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). Any ACMs will then be removed to the
requirements of The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

3.4.10

ACMs will be removed and transported by licensed contractors/carriers and disposed of in


licensed landfill sites (to be designated). All necessary transfer/consignment notes will be issued
as part of the completion waste file.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

3.4.11

All hazardous materials will be removed ahead of demolition works, however, a certain amount of
soft stripping may be required in order to provide adequate access for removal purposes.

3.4.12

Hazardous waste materials will be transported by licensed carriers and disposed of in appropriate
off-site facilities.

3.5

CONSTRUCTION WASTE

3.5.1

During each stage of the construction process there is the potential to generate waste from a
variety of means, including the over-ordering or on-site damage of raw materials and construction
process waste, such as material off-cuts, packaging and chemical residues.

3.5.2

Opportunities for minimising construction waste are discussed in this section, considering issues
such as reducing waste through selection of more sustainable raw materials and the
implementation of effective on site waste management practices.
ESTIMATING CONSTRUCTION WASTE

3.5.3

The estimated construction waste arisings for the Proposed Development have been based on
the following indices:
Refurbishment: The Construction Resources and Waste Platform (CRW) have developed
indicators to aid in the calculation of construction waste arisings from refurbishment projects at
the design stage of a new development. The performance indicators measure tonnes of
waste/100m2 of floor area.
New Build: The Building Research Establishment (BRE) has developed indicators to aid in the
calculation of construction waste arisings from new build projects at the design stage of a new
development. The Environmental Performance Indicator measures tonnes of waste/100m 2 of
floor area.

3.5.4

The total area of residential dwellings has not yet been quantified by the application and therefore
WSP have estimated the likely quantum based on the unit size/type mix outlined in the
Development Specification (Ref. SHP1-B), and property sizes sourced from the London Design
Guide. The London Design Guide has been used as Thanet District Council (TDC) and Kent
County Council (KCC) do not provide similar metrics (Appendix B).

Table 3.1 shows the estimated construction waste arisings for the Proposed Development, based
on the maximum quantum of development and the applicable CRW and BRE waste benchmarks.
It should therefore be noted that these figures are purely indicative at this stage and will be
subject to further refinement.

SUSTAINABLE SELECTION OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
3.5.6

A sustainable materials selection strategy will be prepared prior to the construction of the
Proposed Development. Measures will be taken, such as face-to-face toolbox talks and provision
of clear operational instructions, to ensure that contractors are committed to the operation of good
practice measures on-site with emphasis on continual improvement and identifying appropriate
opportunities to reduce waste, promote recycling and use recyclable materials. The ordering of
appropriate, minimum amounts of building materials will be part of the materials selection
strategy.
SETTING TARGETS FOR REDUCING CONSTRUCTION WASTE

3.5.7

Appropriate targets and objectives will be set in relation to the minimisation and recycling of any
waste materials during each stage of demolition, earth works and construction. This will ensure
that a clear action plan is generated for the management of specified types and quantities of
materials identified for each of the construction stages. These targets will be agreed at the
inaugural meeting between the applicant and the contractors.

3.5.8

To ensure that the system of waste prevention, minimisation, reuse and recycling is effective,
consideration will be given to the setting of on-site waste targets and a suitable programme of
monitoring at regular intervals to focus upon:
Quantifying raw material wastage;
Quantifying the generation of each waste stream;
Any improvements in current working practices;
Methods by which the waste streams are being handled and stored; and
The available waste disposal routes used, e.g. landfills, waste transfer stations.

3.5.9

The Principal Contractors will be responsible for the setting and review of waste targets from the
outset of the development process to ensure that high standards are maintained with the
emphasis being on continual improvement. Specific waste quantification and monitoring will assist
in determining the success of waste management initiatives employed on each construction site
and progress against these targets should be relayed back to the appropriate stakeholders.
ACHIEVING REDUCTIONS IN CONSTRUCTION WASTE - PROMOTION OF BEST
PRACTICE

3.5.10

As part of the encouragement of on-site best practice, there will also be a need to ensure that
suppliers of raw materials to the Proposed Development are committed to reducing any surplus
packaging associated with the supply of any raw materials. This includes the reduction of plastics
(i.e. shrink wrap and bubble wrap), cardboard and wooden pallets. This may involve improved
procurement and consultation with selected suppliers regarding commitments to waste
minimisation, recycling and the emphasis on continual improvement in environmental
performance.

3.5.11

Table 3.2 below summarises the most important mitigation measures to minimise the potential
waste of on-site materials during construction. It is important to note, however, that not all
construction materials will be provided by local suppliers.

3.5.12

Accepting incorrect deliveries, specification or

Where practicable, waste streams that have the potential to be reused on-site or transported offsite for recycling will need to be segregated. Although every effort will be made to retain all
suitable materials on-site, it is possible that some of these materials cannot be reused or recycled
during the construction process. In these situations, the Site Managers will work to identify a
nearby transfer station or suitably licensed facility in order for material to be redistributed as fill on
other suitable sites. This represents the most sustainable alternative to landfill disposal.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND WASTE STORAGE

3.5.13

Emphasis will be placed on the provision of appropriate storage conditions for raw materials and
key waste streams relating to each development. This will include the segregation of material for
reuse or recycling on-site. Where this is not practicable, materials will be segregated for off-site
recycling.

3.5.14

The location of the waste storage areas will be clearly labelled, identifying the materials that can
be received. Provisions that will be made include:
Temporary offices and work compounds on-site will retain all details relating to the waste
strategy for the site, health and safety and monitoring and reporting details.
Storage areas for raw materials and assembly areas for construction components will be
located away from sensitive receptors;
Clearly identified containers for segregated waste streams for reuse and recycling;
Dedicated skips will be provided for any construction waste that requires off-site disposal;
Hazardous waste materials will be stored in secure bunded compounds in appropriate
containers which are clearly labelled to identify their hazardous properties and are
accompanied by the appropriate assessment sheets; and
Any fuels, oils and chemicals that are used will be stored in appropriate containers within
secure bunded compounds in accordance with good site practice and regulatory guidelines
and located away from sensitive receptors.

3.5.15

In addition, the provision of effective and secure storage areas for construction materials is
important to ensure that potential loss of material from damage, vandalism or theft is avoided.
These measures will be supported by ensuring well-timed deliveries to the site, providing on-site
security and installing temporary site security fencing.

3.5.16

Implementation of good practice measures in terms of on-site storage and security practices will
assist in reducing unnecessary wastage of material and ensure that high standards are
maintained throughout the development process.
MANAGING TRANSPORT AND TRAFFIC IMPACTS FROM CONSTRUCTION

3.5.17

The logistics associated with construction waste are affected by a wide range of factors. The
quantity and types of waste materials generated will fluctuate during the construction phases and
the resulting number of waste collections will be dictated by a range of variables, including the
amount of storage space for waste, the capacity of waste containers used, the materials
segregated for recycling and whether any on-site processes are used for reducing the volume of
waste (compactors / balers / shredders etc.).

3.5.18

The applicant will expect construction waste logistics forecasts to be prepared for each phase of
the development, which will be discussed with licenced waste contractors and TDC following
appointment of relevant parties.

3.5.19

The impact of traffic associated with the movement of construction and waste materials on
surrounding neighbourhoods and the local road network will be minimised by a combination of
factors. These include reducing the need to import / export materials; and minimising off-site
removal of waste to landfill. Dedicated haulage routes will be agreed with TDC to minimise
disturbance to local communities.

3.5.20

Alternative methods, such as the use of the river for raw material deliveries and waste
transportation purposes, will also be considered.

OPERATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT


STRATEGY DETAILED ELEMENT OF
THE APPLICATION

4.1

INTRODUCTION

4.1.1

This section outlines the strategy which will be adopted to successfully manage the waste arisings
from the Proposed Development once operational, and specifically considers the commercial
units included within the detailed element of the application.

4.1.2

The detailed element of the hybrid application consists of the following units:
Change of Use of Retained Existing Buildings: Units B2, B3, B8, B9, B14 & B14A, B18, B21,
B23 and B34 (references extracted from Parameter Plan 6: Demolition and Retention) Refer
to Appendix C; and
Phase 1: Units 1 to 4 (reference extracted from Drawing SK004) Refer to Appendix D.

4.2

WASTE GENERATION MODEL

4.2.1

The detailed element of the hybrid application includes fourteen buildings that will be used for
various commercial activities (B1(c)/B2/B8/D1/D2).

4.2.2

Neither TDC or KCC provide suitable waste generation metrics for commercial waste, and
therefore it is proposed that the waste generation model will be based upon metrics obtained from
British Standard BS5906:2005 Waste management in building Code of Practice.

4.2.3

The proposed waste generation metrics are summarised in Table 4.1.

PROPOSED WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

4.3.1

The proposed waste management strategy for the detailed element of the application has been
prepared to provide processes that comply with the Guidance for Waste and Recycling Storage at
Developments in Thanet (hereafter referred to as the Guidance) and general good practice.

4.3.2

This section of the report outlines the waste management strategy that will be adopted in each of
the buildings outlined in Table 4.2.

4.3.3

Each of the buildings within Phase 1 can either be occupied by a single tenant or can be subdivided into two separate units (refer to Drawing Number SK004), whilst the Retained Buildings
will only be occupied by a single tenant. The waste strategy outlined below assumes that each
building will be occupied by a single tenant, but will indicate additional requirements should any of
the buildings in phase 1 be sub-divided.
TEMPORARY WASTE STORES WITHIN EACH TENANCY

4.3.4

Each tenant will be required to provide appropriate temporary waste storage facilities within their
demise which are adequate to segregate and store the waste that they generate prior to the
waste being moved to the main waste storage area.

4.3.5

The size of the tenants temporary waste stores will depend upon their business activities, their
waste generation levels and the frequency that they will transport their waste to the main waste
storage area.

4.3.6

In the event that a building is sub-divided, each tenant will be responsible for providing their own
temporary waste stores within their demise.
MAIN WASTE STORES

4.3.7

Each building will be provided with a main waste store which will be used to store all the waste
generated from that building. In the event that the building is sub-divided, all the tenants within
the building will have access to, and will use, the same main waste storage area.

4.3.8

If the main waste store is located externally to the building, it will be screened with a suitable
fence or wall and will be secured with a suitable lock.

4.3.9

The main waste store shall be located within 10m of the nominated parking location of the
appointed waste management contractors Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV).

4.3.10

Regardless of the location of the main waste store, it shall comply with the construction, security,
ventilation, lighting and cleansing requirements outlined in BS5906:2005.

4.3.11

Table 4.4 provides the waste storage requirements for each building based on assumed uses, as
summarised below:
For buildings with proposed uses B1(c)/B2/B3, it has been assumed that they will be occupied
by industrial tenants.
For buildings with proposed uses D1/D2 it has been assumed that they will occupied by
businesses offering entertainment and leisure facilities.

Where a building requires only one Eurobin to store the waste generated based on a twice weekly
collection, a second Eurobin will be provided to allow recyclables to be segregated.

4.3.13

In the event that a business generates any wastes with hazardous or clinical properties (i.e. a
healthcare centre) or wastes that require specialist storage, the tenant will be responsible for
providing suitable waste storage facilities within their tenanted demise. These wastes shall not be
stored in the main waste store.
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCESSES

4.3.14

The tenant or tenants of each building will be responsible for managing their own waste
processes.

4.3.15

Each tenant will be responsible for transporting their own wastes from their temporary waste
storage areas to their nominated main waste store, and for segregating the waste into the
appropriate bins.

4.3.16

The tenants will also be responsible for procuring and paying for a waste collection service from a
suitably licensed commercial waste contractor.

5.2.3

At the present time, the mix of property types (i.e. flats, detached, semi or terraced houses) is not
known and therefore it is not possible to provide a definitive waste model.

5.2.4

Described below are the various methodologies that will used to calculate the waste arising and
waste storage requirements for each of the property types once details are developed in
subsequent design phases. These methodologies will also be used to calculate waste arisings in
subsequent planning applications.

5.2.5

These methodologies have been extracted from the Guidance.


New Build Individual Houses (end Terraced, Detached and Semi Detached with Side or

PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY EXTERNAL
WASTE STORAGE AND WASTE PRESENTATION
5.2.28

As previously stated, due to the outline nature of this application it is not currently possible to
provide details relating to the mix of property types (i.e. flats, detached, semi or terraced houses)
proposed.

5.2.29

Therefore, described below are the various design requirements that the development will use to
design the waste storage facilities for each type of property that will be developed in subsequent
design phases.
New Build Individual Houses (end Terraced, Detached and Semi Detached with Side or
Rear Access)

5.2.30

The Guidance states the following requirements for New Build Individual Houses (end Terraced,
Detached and Semi Detached with Side or Rear Access).
Each property will be provided with the dedicated bins, caddies and sacks as outlined in
Table 5.2.
The waste presentation area (i.e. the location that the TDC waste contractor collects the
waste from) should be located on the curtilage of each property, within the properties
boundary and should be immediately adjacent to the highway.
The waste presentation area should be within 10m of the public highway.
The waste presentation area should provide a firm surface (i.e. concrete, slabs, asphalt
etc.). The route from the waste presentation area to the refuse collection vehicle should be
a firm surface, with gradual gradients and no steps. A suitable drop kerb should be
provided to allow the bins to transition from the footpath to road level.
The waste presentation area need not be the waste storage area where the bins are
stored. The waste storage area can be located elsewhere within the properties boundary.
Where a separate waste storage area is provided, the residents will be required to transport
their waste to the waste presentation area by 6am on the relevant collection day(s).
The route provided for the resident to move their waste from the waste storage area to the
waste presentation area should have a firm surface, with gradual gradients and no steps.
The size of both the waste presentation area and the waste storage area (if separate)
should be large enough to accommodate all the bins outlined in Table 6.2 including space
for a bin for garden waste (requires payment of an additional fee to TDC) with 150mm
clearance provided around each bin.

5.2.31

In addition to the design requirements outlined in the Guidance, the following requirements are
considered to be good practice:
The horizontal walking distance from the residents front door to their nominated waste
storage areas should not exceed 30m.
The waste storage area should be screened with a suitable enclosure to minimise visual
impact from the highway (if located to the front of the property) and for the resident.

waste from) should be located on the curtilage of each property, within the properties
boundary and should be immediately adjacent to the highway.
The waste presentation area should be within 10m of the public highway.
The waste presentation area should provide a firm surface (i.e. concrete, slabs, asphalt
etc.). The route from the waste presentation area to the refuse collection vehicle should be
a firm surface, with gradual gradients and no steps. A suitable drop kerb should be
provided to allow the bins to transition from the footpath to road level.
The waste presentation area need not be the waste storage area where the bins are
stored. The waste storage area can be located anywhere at the front of the building.
NOTE: storage to the rear of the building will not be permitted.
Where a separate waste storage area is provided, the residents will be required to transport
their waste to the waste presentation area by 6am on the relevant collection day(s).
The route provided for the resident to move their waste from the waste storage area to the
waste presentation area should have a firm surface, with gradual gradients and no steps.
The waste storage area should be designed as an integral part of the property and should
provide suitable screening to minimise visual impact from the highway and for the resident.
Where the waste storage area will also serve as the waste presentation area, the screening
should allow the TDC waste contractor to easily and safely access the bins stored within it.
The waste storage area should be designed to allow the bin lids to be opened without
requiring the resident to remove the bin from the enclosure.
The size of both the waste presentation area and the waste storage area (if separate)
should be large enough to accommodate all the bins outlined in Table 5.2 including space
for a bin for garden waste (requires payment of an additional fee to TDC) with 150mm

Dead end roads must be provided with a suitable turning circle. If reversing is unavoidable it
must be limited to a maximum of 15m where there is clear visibility.
The design of access roads should be to a suitable highways standard that is sufficient for the
vehicle detailed above.

COMMERCIAL WASTE
WASTE GENERATION MODELLING COMMERCIAL

5.3.1

The method of assessing the waste facilities required for commercial premises will depend upon
the business activities that are undertaken and the size of the building/area occupied.

5.3.2

At the present time the mix of commercial activities is not fully understood in sufficient detail and
therefore it is not possible to provide a definitive waste model for each building/area.

5.3.3

Described below are the various methodologies that will used be to calculate the waste arisings
and waste storage requirements for each of the commercial uses that are likely to be provided at
the Proposed Development.

5.3.4

TDC do not provide specific waste generation metrics for commercial waste and therefore the
proposal is to use metrics sourced from BS5906:2005 Waste Management in Buildings Code of
practice (hereafter referred to as the British Standard).

5.3.5

Table 5.8 summarises the relevant British Standard waste metrics.

In addition to the commercial activities outlined in Table 5.8, the application proposes 2 primary
schools, with combined capacity of up to 4 forms of entry. TDC, KCC or the British Standard do
not provide a suitable waste metric for schools and therefore the proposal is to use a relevant
metric sourced from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Refuse and Recycling Storage and
Collection Supplementary Guidance document, refer to Table 5.9.

It should be noted that the waste metrics outlined in Tables 5.8 and 5.9 should be used as a
benchmark and each commercial tenant will need to assess their specific waste generation levels
and waste storage requirements prior to designing their waste storage areas.
PROPOSED COMMERCIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

5.3.8

All commercial tenancies that have direct street access such high street shops, buildings with a
single tenant, the hotel, the schools etc. will be required as part of their fit-out to provide suitably
sized waste storage areas within their tenanted demise for the storage of waste and recyclable
materials.

5.3.9

The size of the waste storage areas will be based on the likely waste generation levels from each
of the retail units taking consideration of the particular business activities taking place and the
waste collection frequencies that the tenant are able to procure from a suitable commercial waste
contractor.

5.3.10

The size and location of the waste store will have to comply with the Guidance, and comply with
the usual statutory obligations.

5.3.11

To ensure that adequate waste facilities are provided, specific contractual provisions will be made
within the tenancy agreements for all commercial units.

5.3.12

For buildings classified as multi-tenanted, a communal waste storage area should be provided for
all tenants to share. The size of the waste store will be based on the British Standard metrics in
Table 5.8 and a suitable waste collection frequency.

5.3.13

Individual tenants within a multi-occupied building will be responsible for transporting their own
waste to their nominated communal waste store.

5.3.14

The building management team will procure a suitable waste management contract through a
suitable commercial waste management contractor, and the costs will be recovered from the
tenants through a suitable service charge.
PROPOSED COMMERCIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY DESIGN
REQUIREMENTS

5.3.15

The following details will be considered when designing the commercial waste storage areas:
Commercial and residential wastes must be stored in separate and clearly identified waste
storage areas.
The commercial tenants or the building management team must arrange their own waste
collections through a commercial waste contractor.
All waste stores should be designed to promote the segregation of recyclables materials from
the residual waste stream. Commercial businesses that generate large quantities of food and
glass wastes should also provide suitable waste storage facilities for these waste streams.
All waste should be stored in suitable bins which are sized to efficiently store and segregate
the waste materials that are generated. The size (volume) of the bin will ultimately depend
upon the volume of waste being generated, and bins with the capacity of 50 litres to 1,280
litres are commercially available.
Commercial waste stores should be easily accessible and suitably screened.
Access between the commercial waste stores and the RCV should be a constructed pathway
with no steps or kerbs. Where necessary, a drop kerb should be provided to allow bins to
transition from the footpath to the highway.
All commercial waste stores should be built to comply with the British Standard, Building
Regulations and other planning guidance issued by TDC.

GENERAL VEHICLE ACCESS
5.3.16

The main waste stores shall be located so that the appointed commercial waste contractor can
park their RCV within 10m of the access doors.

5.3.17

The access roads to the main waste stores should be built to a suitable highway standard.

5.3.18

Where a waste store is located in a dead end road, a suitable turning area should be provided. If
reversing is unavoidable this must be limited to a maximum of 15m with clear visibility down the
access road.

6.1

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION


SUMMARY OF THE STRATEGY
OPERATIONAL WASTE OVERVIEW

6.1.1

The proposed planning application for Stone Hill Park is being submitted as a hybrid application
with Phase 1 and the Change of Use of Retained Existing Buildings being submitted in detail and
the remaining elements of the application being submitted in outline.

6.1.2

This strategy has therefore been prepared to reflect the hybrid nature of the application.

6.1.3

It is proposed that the waste generated by the residential units will be collected by TDC through
their household waste collection service which is funded through the residents Council Tax.

6.1.4

It is proposed that all waste generated by the commercial tenants on the site will be managed
through licensed commercial waste management contractors.
OPERATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY DETAILED ELEMENT OF
THE APPLICATION

6.1.5

The detailed element of the application consists of four new buildings in phase 1 and 10 retained
buildings which will all be classified as commercial uses.

6.1.6

Each tenant will on a regular basis be required to transport their own waste to their nominated
waste storage areas which will be located at ground floor level.

6.1.7

The waste store has been designed based on the Guidance and good practice assuming a twice
weekly collection. Collection frequencies will depend on the actual waste generation levels once
the space is occupied.

6.1.8

The appointed commercial waste management contractor will park adjacent to the waste storage
area and will remove the appropriate bins directly from the waste store. The RCV should be able
to park within 10m of the waste storage area.

6.1.9

The commercial waste contractor will be appointed by the tenant(s) of the buildings.
OPERATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY OUTLINE ELEMENT OF THE
APPLICATION
Residential Waste

6.1.10

It is currently not possible to provide a waste generation model for the residential element of the
outline application as the types of property (i.e. terraced, semi, flat etc.) that will be provided on
the site are still not agreed.

6.1.11

Therefore Section 6 of the waste management strategy outlines the waste generation and waste
storage requirements for each type of property that is likely to be provided on the site and
provides design guidance relating to the size, location and construction of the individual waste
storage areas.

6.1.12

The guidance provided in Section 5 will be used to design the required waste facilities in
subsequent design stages and will be included within future reserved matters applications.

Commercial Waste
6.1.13

It is currently not possible to provide a waste generation model for the commercial element of the
outline element of the application as the business classes that will be provided within each
commercial unit on the site are still not agreed.

6.1.14

Therefore Section 5 of the waste management strategy outlines the waste generation and waste
storage requirements for each type of commercial business that may be present on the site and
provides design guidance relating to the size, location and construction of the individual waste
storage areas.

6.1.15

The guidance provided in Section 5 will be used to design the required waste facilities in
subsequent design stages and will be included within future planning applications.

6.2

CONCLUSION

6.2.1

This Waste Management Strategy has taken into account the need to lessen the overall impact of
waste from the operational phase of the Proposed Development.

6.2.2

The proposals set out in this Strategy meet the requirements of relevant waste policy and follow
applicable guidance.

Appendix A
NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL WASTE POLICY & GUIDANCE

Appendix A - National, Regional and Local Waste


Policy & Guidance
National Waste Policy
National Planning Policy Framework (2012)3
The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) sets out the Governments economic,
environmental and social planning policies for England and provides a framework within which local
people and councils can produce local and neighbourhood plans. Most of the existing Planning Policy
Statements (PPSs) have been abolished and replaced by 12 'core' planning principles.
Unfortunately, the Framework does not provide much clarity on planning policy for the development of
waste infrastructure and states that:
This Framework does not contain specific waste policies, since national waste planning policy
will be published as part of the National Waste Prevention Plan for England. However, local
authorities preparing waste plans and taking decisions on waste applications should have
regard to policies in this Framework so far as relevant.
Further guidance is included in the Waste Management Plan for England (2013) which superseded
the Waste Strategy for England 2007 for these purposes.
National Planning Policy for Waste (2014)4
The National Planning Policy for Waste replaces Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for
Sustainable Waste Management (PPS 10) and is to be considered alongside other national planning
policy for England - such as in the NPPF and the Waste Management Plan for England. As its primary
focus is on planning for waste management facilities, it is not considered relevant to the Proposed
Development.
Waste Management Plan for England (2013)
The Waste Management Plan for England, published in December 2013, provides an analysis of the
current waste management situation in England and fulfils the mandatory requirements of Article 28 of
the revised Waste Framework Directive (WFD). The WFD required that Member States ensure that
their competent authorities, in this instance Defra, establish one or more waste management plans
covering all of their territory.
The Plan does not introduce new policies or change the landscape of how waste is managed in
England. Its core aim is to bring current waste management policies under the umbrella of one
national plan. It supersedes the previous waste management plan, the Waste Strategy for England
2007.
The mandatory requirements of Article 28 of the revised WFD specify that waste management plans
must contain the following information:

Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) (2012) National Planning Policy Framework
http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/2115939.pdf
DCLG (2014) National Planning Policy for Waste
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/364759/141015_National_Planning_Policy_f
or_Waste.pdf

An analysis of the current waste management situation in the geographical entity concerned,
as well as the measures to be taken to improve environmentally sound preparing for re-use,
recycling, recovery and disposal of waste and an evaluation of how the plan will support the
implementation of the objectives and provisions of the revised WFD.
The type, quantity and source of waste generated within the territory, the waste likely to be
shipped from or to the national territory, and an evaluation of the development of waste
streams in the future;
Existing waste collection schemes and major disposal and recovery installations, including
any special arrangements for waste oils, hazardous waste or waste streams addressed by
specific Community legislation;
An assessment of the need for new collection schemes, the closure of existing waste
installations, additional waste installation infrastructure in accordance with Article 16 (on the
proximity principle), and, if necessary, the investments related thereto;
Sufficient information on the location criteria for site identification and on the capacity of future
disposal or major recovery installations, if necessary; and
General waste management policies, including planned waste management technologies and
methods, or policies for waste posing specific management problems.
In addition, Schedule 1 to the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 sets out other obligations
for the Plan which have been transposed from the revised WFD. These other obligations include:
In pursuance of the objectives and measures in Directive 94/62/EC (on packaging and
packaging waste), a chapter on the management of packaging and packaging waste,
including measures taken pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 of that Directive.
Measures to promote high quality recycling including the setting up of separate collections of
waste where technically, environmentally and economically practicable and appropriate to
meet the necessary quality standards for the relevant recycling sectors.
As appropriate, measures to encourage the separate collection of bio-waste with a view to the
composting and digestion of bio-waste.
As appropriate, measures to be taken to promote the reuse of products and preparing for
reuse activities, in particular (a) measures to encourage the establishment and support of reuse and repair networks;
(b) the use of economic instruments;
(c) the use of procurement criteria; and
(d) the setting of quantitative objectives.
Measures to be taken to ensure that by 2020
(a) at least 50% by weight of waste from households is prepared for reuse or recycled.

Waste Hierarchy
The Waste Hierarchy requires avoidance of waste in the first instance followed by reducing the
volume that requires disposal after it has been generated.
It gives an order of preference for waste management options to minimise the volume for disposal, as
shown in Figure A1.
Figure A1: The Waste Hierarchy

The main principles of the Waste Hierarchy are:


Waste should be prevented or reduced at source as far as possible;
Where waste cannot be prevented, waste materials or products should be reused directly or
refurbished and then reused;
Waste materials should be recycled or reprocessed into a form that allows them to be
reclaimed as a secondary raw material;
Where useful secondary materials cannot be reclaimed, the energy content of the waste
should be recovered and used as a substitute for non-renewable energy resources; and
Only if waste cannot be prevented, reclaimed or recovered, should it be disposed of into the
environment and this should only be undertaken in a controlled manner.
The Waste Hierarchy has been implemented in England and Wales by the Waste (England and
Wales) Regulations 2011. These regulations require that an establishment or undertaking that
imports, produces, collects, transports, recovers or disposes of waste must take reasonable steps to
apply the Waste Hierarchy when waste is transferred or disposed of.

Regional Waste Policy


Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (2007) 5
The Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy sets policy and overall targets for the collection and
recycling of household waste in Kent. It was developed by the Kent Waste Forum, which is made up
of the Kent Waste Partnership (KWP) (i.e. Kent County Council and all 12 Districts), the Kent
Association of Parish Councils and the Environment Agency. The policies formulated for the purposes
of delivering the strategy which are relevant to the Proposed Development are as follows:
Policy 8 - The KWP will achieve a minimum level of 40% recycling and composting of
household waste by 2012/13 and will seek to exceed this target;
Policy 9 - The KWP will work to develop, to maintain and to improve schemes that secure the
best recycling and composting performance for Kent authorities as a whole;
Policy 10 - The KWP will secure higher rates of performance from existing services through
education and awareness-raising.
Policy 11 - The KWP will strive to make waste and recycling services accessible and easy to
use for all householders, across all housing types and all sectors of the community.
The Kent Design Guide6
The Kent Design Guide was adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document by Thanet District
Council on 14th December 2006 and forms part of the Development Plan for Thanet.
The Kent Design Guide seeks to provide a starting point for good design while retaining scope for
creative, individual approaches to different buildings and different areas.
With regard to waste management, the guide states that communal facilities should be designed in at
the outset. Provision should be made for the storage of recyclable waste so that it does not
deteriorate or become contaminated, particularly in the case of commercial operations. Dwellings
should be designed with adequate refuse storage for disposal containers and for waste separation for
recycling. Recycling collection points should not normally be more than 25m from the carriageway.
Careful consideration also needs to be given to the security of litter receptacles for the avoidance of
anti-social behaviour, arson, vermin and the creation of street litter.
All new development, including homes, offices, industrial premises and shops must be designed to:
Encourage residents to minimise their waste through good design, and deal with what they do
produce in a responsible manner.
Provide adequate storage space for segregation of recyclables and general waste.
Consider the routes for collection vehicles. Recycling collection points should not normally be
more than 25m from the carriageway.

Kent County Council (2007) Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
http://www.kent.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/10085/kentjointmunicipalwastemanagementstrategy1.pdf
Kent Design Initiative (2005) The Kent Design Guide
http://www.kent.gov.uk/about-the-council/strategies-and-policies/regeneration-policies/kent-design-guide

Consider providing specific waste disposal facilities e.g. static recycling centres near to
communal facilities in larger developments.
Avoid opportunities for fly tipping, which has a significant detrimental environmental impact.
Communal recyclable / refuse storage areas can be misused for dumping and as they are not
the responsibility of any one household, lack of ownership does nothing to foster waste
minimisation or recycling. Where it is necessary to include such areas (eg in the case of flats)
they should be designed to encourage recycling.

Local Waste Policy


Guidance for Waste and Recycling Storage at Developments in Thanet (Undated)7
TDCs Guidance for waste and recycling storage at development in Thanet provides detail on the
required storage facilities for waste and recycling from the Proposed Development and has been
referred to in the development of this waste strategy.
The Supplementary Planning Guidance states:
The document provides general guidance to developers, which should be read in conjunction
with general planning and building regulation requirements. Planning applications which do
not adequately consider waste storage or vehicle access in Thanet may be refused.
For large developments, there is a requirement for developers to provide a waste
management strategy with the application.

Appendix B
C2/C3 RESIDENTIAL SPACE CALCULATION

Appendix B - C2/C3 Residential Space


Calculation
In order to calculate the quantum of C2/C3 residential space to calculate the likely construction waste
arisings, WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff have used the following data provided in the GVA Planning
Statement (Ref. SHP1-4) as the basis for estimating the total residential area.
Total number of residential units 2,500.
Approximate residential room mix
1 Bed 10-20% (15%)
2 Bed 30-40% (35%)
3 Bed 30-40% (35%)
4 Bed+ 15-20% (15%)
Figures in (Brackets) show the percentage applied in the calculations.

In order to calculate the total residential area WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff have identified the following
data extracted from the London Housing Design Guide (Table B1).
The London Design Guide has been used to calculate the total residential area as TDC and KCC do
not provide a similar data set.
