Construction waste can be problematic in ensuring that it is handled in accordance with all relevant legislation, correct reference to the legislation is recommended and consideration of how the council can influence this is in a practical way.

We would encourage policies that seek to reduce the amount of construction and demolition waste. (This links to reducing primary aggregate demand and increasing secondary aggregate use in minerals planning).
We would encourage policies that encourage good site management and on site waste management plans.
