Para 152. Development should be located to minimise waste. Co-locating developments to exploit industrial symbiosis can minimise waste and create considerable competitive commercial advantage.
The following points should be added to your Construction Checklist Development should be designed to:
. retain and refurbish rather than rebuild
. be easily adapted to future changing uses
. enable reuse and recycling at least 90% of demolition and construction waste
. minimise over-ordering and damage of materials
. use standard components
. have a recycled content of at least 30%
All development proposals should identify how they meet the above waste minimisation and management objectives.
