Defra has produced new guidelines to help local authorities, architects, planners and builders produce high quality and locally appropriate waste facilities.
The guidance covers a range of waste facilities from small community and municipal sites to larger sites such as CHP facilities, outlining key design principles and best practice in design and public consultation.
Environment Minister, Jane Kennedy said: “We are committed to making a big effort to reduce waste and improve our recycling ability. To do that Britain needs new infrastructure for the better management of waste. New infrastructure will only be built if local communities are happy and this means the best possible design must be applied to win that all important public endorsement. I hope this new guidance will help achieve that aim.”
The guidance was produced in partnership with the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and is aimed at all bodies involved in developing and building waste facilities.
