What this policy is about

Policy DM45 requires new developments to make on-site provision for waste management, including storage, access, and screening to avoid nuisance and visual impact. This applies to all proposals. The council will support proposals that meet these requirements and address waste management from design to end use, aiming to reduce, re-use, recycle, and compost waste.

Plain-English summary of the adopted policy text below. The full text is the rule; this is the gist.

The policy — as adopted

Waste Management

Policy DM 45: Waste Management 09: TRANSPORT AND WASTE A. All proposals will be required to make on-site provision for general waste, the separation of recyclable materials and the collection of organic material for composting. The on-site provision must: a. provide satisfactory storage volume to meet the general, recycling and organic waste material arising from the site; b. ensure satisfactory access for collectors and, where relevant, collection vehicles; and c. be located and screened to avoid nuisance to occupiers and adverse visual impact. Core Strategy Policy CS1 X supports the objectives of sustainable waste management and requires new development to address waste management from design and construction stage through to end use, ensuring that it is managed towards the upper end of the waste hierarchy. This policy also seeks to achieve the outcomes set out in London Plan policies 5.16B and 5.18C. The upper end of the hierarchy is set out in Policy 5.16 of the London Plan and comprises: • reduce waste; • re-use waste; and • recycle and compost.

Citations, officer spread, ward and application-type counts parsed from published Harrow decision notices (high-confidence parses, approvals and refusals), joined to the canonical application record. One citation = one decision citing the policy. See the policy overview for every policy cited.

Atlas intelligence summarises patterns and observations from published planning records. Past decisions do not indicate how any future application will be determined. Every application is assessed on its own merits, having regard to the proposal, site, evidence and policies applying at the time.
