The council will encourage the use of new and innovative smart waste collection systems including underground bin systems where appropriate and feasible, in particular, on larger strategic sites and developments of 500 properties or more or for high density developments. The HBF has concerns about the viability of this policy, at the moment it is not clear what the costs for these smart waste collections might be, but it is likely any underground provision would add significantly to the cost of any development. The HBF also has concerns in relation to the waste authority’s ability to work with these waste requirements, and whether they will be committed to working with these smart solutions for the life of the dwellings, buildings or developments provided.
