The <strong>London</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> July <strong>2011</strong> – RTF version<br />
dealing with hazardous waste and to provide and maintain direction on the<br />
need for hazardous waste management capacity.<br />
<strong>Plan</strong>ning Decisions<br />
B Pending outcome of the work proposed in paragraph A of this policy,<br />
development proposals that would result in the loss of existing sites for<br />
the treatment and/or disposal of hazardous waste should not be permitted<br />
unless compensatory site provision has been secured in accordance with<br />
Policy 5.17H.<br />
LDF preparation<br />
C LDFs should:<br />
a make provision for hazardous waste treatment plants to achieve, at<br />
regional level, the necessary waste management requirements<br />
b identify suitable sites for the storage, treatment and reprocessing of<br />
relevant or a range of hazardous waste streams<br />
c identify sites for the temporary storage, treatment and remediation of<br />
contaminated soils and demolition waste during major developments.<br />
5.89 In 2007 around 300,000 tonnes of hazardous waste was produced in <strong>London</strong><br />
– 35 per cent from construction, excavation and demolition waste (containing<br />
asbestos and contaminated soil), 21 per cent from oil and oil/water mix<br />
waste, and 44 per cent as waste from chemical and other industrial processes.<br />
Changes to the definition of hazardous waste mean that the amount of such<br />
waste produced will grow in the short and medium term, and <strong>London</strong> will<br />
need more and better hazardous waste treatment facilities to cope with this.<br />
Without sustained action there remains the risk of a major shortfall in our<br />
capacity to treat and dispose of hazardous waste safely. This could lead to<br />
storage problems, illegal disposal (including fly tipping) and rising public<br />
concern about health and environmental impacts. There is therefore a need to<br />
continue to identify hazardous waste capacity for <strong>London</strong>. The main<br />
requirement is for sites for regional facilities to be identified. Boroughs will<br />
need to work together and with neighbouring authorities to consider the<br />
necessary regional/local facilities.<br />
Aggregates, contaminated land and hazardous substances<br />
POLICY 5.20 AGGREGATES<br />
Strategic<br />
A The Mayor will work with all relevant partners to ensure an adequate<br />
supply of aggregates to support construction in <strong>London</strong>. This will be<br />
achieved by:<br />
1 encouraging re-use and recycling of construction, demolition and<br />
excavation waste within <strong>London</strong><br />
2 extraction of land-won aggregates within <strong>London</strong><br />
3 importing aggregates to <strong>London</strong> by sustainable transport modes.<br />
B The Mayor will work with strategic partners to achieve targets of:<br />
a 95 per cent recycling/re-use of construction, demolition and<br />
excavation waste by 2020<br />
b 80 per cent recycling of that waste as aggregates by 2020.<br />
