The <strong>London</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> July <strong>2011</strong> – RTF version<br />

POLICY 5.17 WASTE CAPACITY<br />

Strategic<br />

A The Mayor supports the need to increase waste processing capacity in<br />

<strong>London</strong>. He will work with <strong>London</strong> boroughs and waste authorities to<br />

identify opportunities for introducing new waste capacity, including<br />

strategically important sites for waste management and treatment, and<br />

resource recovery parks/consolidation centres, where recycling, recovery<br />

and manufacturing activities can co-locate.<br />

<strong>Plan</strong>ning decisions<br />

B Proposals for waste management should be evaluated against the<br />

following criteria:<br />

a locational suitability (see LDF preparation paragraphs F and G below)<br />

b proximity to the source of waste<br />

c the nature of activity proposed and its scale<br />

d a positive carbon outcome of waste treatment methods and<br />

technologies (including the transportation of waste, recyclates and<br />

waste derived products) resulting in greenhouse gas savings,<br />

particularly from treatment of waste derived products to generate<br />

energy<br />

e the environmental impact on surrounding areas, particularly noise<br />

emissions, odour and visual impact and impact on water resources<br />

f the full transport and environmental impact of all collection, transfer<br />

and disposal movements and, in particular, the scope to maximise the<br />

use of rail and water transport using the Blue Ribbon Network.<br />

The following will be supported:<br />

g developments that include a range of complementary waste facilities<br />

on a single site<br />

h developments for manufacturing related to recycled waste<br />

i developments that contribute towards renewable energy generation,<br />

in particular the use of technologies that produce a renewable gas<br />

j developments for producing renewable energy from organic/biomass<br />

waste.<br />

C Wherever possible, opportunities should be taken to provide combined<br />

heat and power and combined cooling heat and power.<br />

D Developments adjacent to waste management sites should be designed to<br />

minimise the potential for disturbance and conflicts of use.<br />

E Suitable waste and recycling storage facilities are required in all new<br />

developments.<br />

LDF preparation<br />

F Boroughs must allocate sufficient land and identify waste management<br />

facilities to provide capacity to manage the tonnages of waste apportioned<br />

in this <strong>Plan</strong>. Boroughs may wish to collaborate by pooling their<br />

apportionment requirements.<br />

G Land to manage borough waste apportionments should be brought<br />
