1.0 Introduction
1.0.1

This Waste Audit Report sets out the Defence Infrastructure Organisations (DIOs) requirements in
terms of the management of waste generated from the construction works as well as the
operational phase of the proposed development, namely Land at Tidworth Road, Corunna Barracks,
Ludgershall service family accommodation (300 homes) and associated development in
connection with regular Army basing programme (hereafter referred to as Land at Tidworth Road,
Ludgershall). The purpose of this document is to support the outline planning application for Land
at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall and to satisfy the Planning Authority that waste arising from the
development will be managed sustainably and responsibly in accordance with waste legislation, the
Waste Hierarchy and local and national waste policy.

1.0.2

On 1 December 2013 the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 2008 were revoked and there is
no longer a statutory requirement to produce a (construction stage) Site Waste Management Plan
(SWMP) for developments of this scale. Notwithstanding this, there are clear and demonstrable
benefits to having a SWMP, or comparable document, in place at the commencement of a
construction project and therefore many of the principles and objectives of a (construction stage)
SWMP are included within this document.

1.0.3

The purpose of this Waste Audit Report is to ensure that construction and operational waste will be
managed responsibly and sustainably during the development and operational phases of the
proposed service family accommodation and associated development. This Waste Audit Report
encourages the minimisation of construction waste as far as is practicable. However, where the
generation of construction waste is unavoidable, waste will be appropriately managed in the most
sustainable manner available. A key objective of this document is that all waste will be managed in
accordance with the Waste Hierarchy.

1.0.4

A Screening Opinion has been provided by Wiltshire Council in relation to the proposed
development on Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall. With respect to waste the Screening Opinion
states:The site would involve the redevelopment of previously developed land for pre-dominantly

residential purposes. Although natural resources would be used in the redevelopment, the proposal
would constitute a relatively efficient reuse of land and it is noted that sustainable construction
techniques would nonetheless be adopted. In accordance with the adopted Waste Local Plan, a
waste audit is required to be submitted with any future planning application.

1.0.5

In addition to the objectives set out above, this Waste Audit Report has been developed to satisfy
the requirements of Policy WCS6: Waste Reduction and Auditing of the adopted Wiltshire and
Swindon Waste Core Strategy 2006-2026 Development Plan Document (July 2009). For certain
types of development, including any development providing 10 or more dwellings Policy WCS6
requires that development proposals are accompanied by a waste audit. The waste audit should
include information such as the types of waste to be produced, procedures for minimising waste,
procedures for minimising the use of hazardous materials and procedures for maximising waste
recovery. The information contained within this document addresses the requirements of Policy
WCS6 Waste Reduction and Auditing. However it should be noted that the application for Land at
Tidworth Road, Ludgershall comprises an outline planning application and therefore detailed
information relating to the likely quantities of waste and the exact construction materials is not
known at this time.

1.0.6

The Waste Audit Report sets out the responsibilities of the generic roles within a site management
team and those of a Principal Contractor and its sub-contractors in relation to the management of
waste. To ensure procedures are being followed and the desired results are being achieved, waste
management training and communications between the Principal Contractor and sub-contractors
would be carried out, using the most appropriate means. Furthermore waste monitoring procedures
would be put in place by the Principal Contactor and formally reviewed at the end of the
construction phase.

1.0.7

This Waste Audit Report also addresses the sustainable management of operational waste including
opportunities for minimising waste together with the correct storage, removal and management of
all waste streams. The range of waste types predicted to arise from the operational phase of the
development, once the development is occupied, is also discussed and as far as possible proposals
are made with respect to the collection and management of these wastes.

1.1

Legal Requirements

1.1.1

Compliance with environmental and waste legislation is a minimum requirement when managing
waste and will be a primary objective of the Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall development.
There is substantial regulation of waste in the United Kingdom that is applicable to all wastes
generated by the construction and operation of the proposed development. The key (waste related)
legislation of relevance to this project is the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act
1995, The Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 (as amended), Revised Waste
Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, the Waste

5
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

(England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act 1989
and The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (as amended).
1.1.2

Consequently, the key waste management compliance issues from this Waste Audit Report are as
follows:-

1.1.3

Waste categories are identified and coded as per the List of Wastes (England) Regulations
2005;

Waste is segregated appropriately;

Waste is transported appropriately and safely;

Waste is handled and stored safely;

Waste is disposed of responsibly;

Waste is minimised and recycled wherever possible;

Waste data is recorded, collated and monitored regularly; and

Waste contractor performance is monitored regularly.

The construction phase of the development has the potential to generate a range of waste
materials including hazardous wastes. Although some of the quantities may be small, the
environmental impact can be significant if the wastes are not handled correctly, as are the legal
penalties.

1.1.4

Correct environmental management of wastes is a key objective of this Waste Audit Report. In
addition DIO (as the Client) and the appointed Principal Contractor have a legal duty of care to
ensure safe and proper management of all waste materials (including on-site contractors wastes).
DIO and the Principal Contractor would therefore ensure that all wastes are handled and disposed
of in accordance with current legislation and best practice from the time waste is generated,
through to its final disposal/treatment.

1.2

Project Details

1.2.1

The proposed development would be sited within Corunna Barracks, Ludgershall, Wiltshire.

In

summary the development comprises:

Provision of Service Family Accommodation (300 homes);

Provision of a new vehicular access;

Public open space;

A Primary School;

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

1.2.2

Internal access roads;

Provision of landscaping; and

Internal roads, infrastructure and ancillary works.

Whilst there are currently buildings on site which would be demolished as part of the site
preparation works, for the purpose of the current planning application the proposed development
site would comprise a cleared and vacant site. No demolition works would therefore be required as
part of the proposed development and the management of demolition wastes is not therefore
addressed within this document. However, as the construction phase may require the need to
excavate the existing ground or require cut and fill works, consideration has been given to the
management of soils and excavation materials. Although it should be noted that as the planning
application constitutes an outline application, the actual volume of excavation materials is not
known at this stage.

2.0 Waste Policy and Strategy

2.1

National Policy

2.1.1

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in March 2012 does not contain any
specific waste policies. However the Waste Management Plan for England, published in December
2013, provides an analysis of the current waste management situation in England and evaluates
how it will support the implementation of the objectives and provisions of the revised Waste
Framework Directive.

2.1.2

The Planning Practice Guidance addresses the impact of non-waste development on local waste
infrastructure and states that Planning Authorities must have regard to national planning policy for
waste and are expected to help deliver the waste hierarchy. It suggests that Planning Authorities
should consider, where relevant, the potential impact of proposed non-waste development on
existing waste management sites and should promote sound management of waste from proposed
development sites.

2.1.3

National waste planning policy is contained within the National Planning Policy for Waste (October
2014) (NPPW) which is to be read in conjunction with the NPPF and the Waste Management Plan
for England. The NPPW states that:-

Positive planning plays a pivotal role in delivering this countrys waste ambitions through:

Delivery of sustainable development and resource efficiency, including provision of modern

infrastructure, local employment opportunities and wider climate change benefits, by
driving waste management up the waste hierarchy; and

Helping to secure the re-use, recovery or disposal of waste without endangering human
health and without harming the environment.

2.1.4

NPPW defines the Waste Hierarchy as follows:

8
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna

Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Figure 1: The Waste Hierarchy

2.1.5

The principal objective of the Waste Hierarchy is to minimise the

e amount of waste produced by
adopting economy and efficiency in raw materials usage. Where this is not possible, the aim is to
deal with the waste produced in a reasonable and sustainable way, with the least preferred option
being disposal to landfill. The
The overall objective being to minimise the environmental impact both in
the short term via prevention of pollution and in the long term,
term in terms of resource and land
usage.

2.2

Local Waste Policy

2.2.1

The Development Plan with respect to waste comprises the Wiltshire and Swindon Waste Core
Strategy 2006-2026,
2026, adopted July 2009 and the Wiltshire Core Strategy Development Plan
Document, adopted
pted on 20 January 2015.

2.2.2

The Waste Core Strategy sets out a number of strategic objectives for Wiltshire and Swindon, which
include:

Providing clear guidance to the community of Wiltshire and Swindon on waste planning
policy issues and proposals through the pursuit of a collaborative public awareness-raising
awareness
approach to help work towards waste elimination, waste reduction
reduction and re-use;
re

Ensuring that there is a sufficient and flexible network of safeguarded waste management
facilities that make adequate provision for waste requiring management in Wiltshire and
Swindon;

9
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Protecting and enhancing the diverse and highly valued natural and historical environment
of Wiltshire and Swindon, incorporating the landscape character, biodiversity and geological
interests and cultural heritage; and

Ensuring the best use of the waste produced in Wiltshire and Swindon by driving waste up
the management hierarchy. This is to be delivered by aiming to achieve waste elimination
and reduction, maximising re-use, recycling and composting, and energy recovery, strictly
in that order of priority, so as to actively promote a reduction in the amount of waste going
to landfill.

2.2.3

Waste Core Strategy Policy WCS5 The Wiltshire and Swindon Waste Hierarchy and Sustainable
Waste Management sets out the Councils Waste Hierarchy and states that the Council will seek to
drive waste up the Waste Hierarchy by ensuring that developers demonstrate that the most
sustainable option for waste management in Wiltshire and Swindon has been promoted. In most
cases, this will be waste elimination followed by waste reduction, waste re-use, waste recovery
(recycling, composting, anaerobic digestion and mechanical biological treatment (MBT), followed by
energy recovery) with landfill being the least preferred option.

2.2.4

Waste Core Strategy WCS6 Waste Reduction and Auditing requires that a waste audit is prepared
to accompany a proposal for development where the proposal comprises any development
providing 10 or more dwellings. This Waste Audit Report seeks to satisfy this requirement,
although it may be necessary to revise and update this document at the detailed planning stage.

2.2.5

The Wiltshire Core Strategy does not contain any waste specific policies. However, one of the key
principles of the strategy is working towards lowering Wiltshires carbon footprint through the
appropriate location of development, and through renewable energy and sustainable construction.

2.2.6

Wiltshire Council Municipal Waste Management Strategy 2012 (WMWMS) takes account of major
developments in waste services locally and nationally, guiding the development of waste collection
and disposal services within Wiltshire. The aim of the WMWMS 2012 is for Wiltshire Council to seek
further improvement in waste management by pursuing the 4 principles (set out below) and the
related policies and targets. In the longer term, beyond 2020, the Council will seek continuous
improvement in services and performance, with an emphasis on waste prevention, recycling and
composting. The WMWMS identifies the following principles: Principle 1 waste prevention and re-use. The Council will provide advice, education and
where possible incentives to encourage waste prevention and re-use by residents. The

10
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Council will pursue a target of reducing waste after recycling and composting from 606 kilos
per household achieved in 2011-12 to 545 kilos per household by 2015-16.
Principle 2 recycling and composting. The Council will carry out the separate collection of
recyclable and compostable waste materials from all accessible households, supported by
publicity campaigns to encourage the use of these services by householders, to achieve a
recycling rate of 50% of household waste by 2014. The Council will carry out recycling and
residual waste collections on a fortnightly cycle, to encourage residents to make the best
use of the recycling services.
Principle 3 further diversion from landfill. The Council will recover energy or otherwise
divert from landfill sufficient tonnage of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), in addition to that
diverted by recycling and composting, to achieve:o

A landfill rate of 25% or less of total MSW by 2014; and

A landfill rate equivalent to less than 35% of the biodegradable municipal

waste tonnage landfilled at 1995 by 2019-20.

In the longer term beyond 2020, the Council will seek further measures to reduce landfill,
as set out in Principle 4.

Principle 4 waste treatment capacity. The Council will monitor available capacity for
diversion of MSW from landfill and will support any additional proposals required to meet
the targets for landfill reduction. In the longer term, the Council will pursue a goal of zero
waste to landfill and reduction of the environmental impact of waste treatment by
continuous improvement to waste collection and treatment services.

2.2.7

The management of waste arising from the proposed development on Land at Tidworth Road,
Ludgershall would support the principles of sustainable waste management set out in the WMWMS
by ensuring that, as far as possible, waste will be managed in accordance with the Waste
Hierarchy. In particular waste will be minimised in the first instance, but where waste is generated
it will be reused in preference to other less preferable options such as recovery. The landfilling of
waste will be avoided unless all other management options have been shown to be non-viable. This
will support Wiltshires objective of diverting waste from landfill.

3.0 Construction Waste Materials and Management Options

3.1 Identification of Waste Types
3.1.1

The identification of the likely key construction and site preparation activities and the associated
waste types produced from these activities is detailed in Appendix A Waste Data Sheet. The
Waste Data Sheet includes the best practice management options that are currently available for
each waste stream produced i.e. prepare for reuse, recycle and disposal, etc.

3.1.2

As mentioned in Section 1.2.2 for the purpose of the outline planning application, the development
site would comprise a cleared and vacant site. Whilst a quantity of soils and excavation waste
materials may arise from the site preparation and construction works, such as preparatory works
for foundations, significant quantities of demolition type wastes are unlikely to be generated. The
types of wastes generated by the initial development phases are likely to be generally inert in
nature including soils, brick, stone, concrete and aggregate.

3.1.3

The Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall scheme would be designed to minimise construction waste
in the first instance though sustainable design. Where possible, waste minimisation practices would
include pre-fabrication of materials to reduce on-site cutting, using standard sizes of materials (for
example, ceiling tiles and plasterboard) and structural repetition (for example in roof supports,
cladding, window frames etc) to reduce cut-off waste.

3.1.4

The use of durable and long-life materials can significantly reduce the need to replace building
materials in the short to medium term following completion of the works. Durability of materials,
such as roofing materials, flooring and windows, would be considered throughout the detailed
design process in order to reduce waste production in the post-completion phase of the scheme.

3.1.5

The types of waste predicted to arise from the construction works are shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Predicted Construction Waste Types and Management Options

weed growth/site preparation)

3.2

Waste Quantities

3.2.1

As the planning application seeks outline permission for the proposed development, it is not
possible at this stage to quantify the amount of waste which would arise from the construction
phase of the scheme. However, when the detailed design stage has been reached, it would be
possible to estimate the quantity of waste arisings.

3.2.2

Under the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 2008, there was a requirement to estimate the
quantity of construction waste at the start of the project and these initial estimates were then
compared with actual data at the end of the construction works. Whilst there is no longer a
statutory requirement to estimate construction waste, Wiltshire and Swindon Waste Core Strategy
Policy WCS6, Waste Reduction and Auditing requires a Waste Audit to include the type and

volume of waste that the development process will generate. Furthermore, there are benefits to
estimating the likely quantities of construction waste at the start of the project as it enables the
construction team and Principal Contractor to plan for the likely level of waste to be generated,
both in terms of storage space requirements as well as the frequency of collection by a waste
contractor (and associated costs).
3.2.3

The following template can be used to estimate the waste quantities associated with the
construction phase. However the appointed contractor may have their own method of calculating
and recording such data which could also be used.

3.3

Waste Management Options

Waste Prevention and Reduction

3.3.1

There is considerable potential for the reduction of construction waste at source and this would be
exploited wherever possible. The key opportunities would be in the design of the buildings (for
example the use of pre-fabricated structural materials, structural repetition etc), the careful use of
raw materials and the avoidance of damage to building and raw materials whilst stored on site. As
far as is practicable, structures and features would be pre-fabricated, such as roof structures,
windows and doors. Where opportunities exist, external cladding, rainwater disposal systems,
fascias, flashings and internal steelwork will also be pre-fabricated. Further opportunities for
minimising waste are described in the Waste Minimisation Statement which is included in Appendix
B.

3.3.2

Sustainable procurement of building materials may result in minimisation of waste by selecting

products and materials with reduced levels of packaging, reusable rather than single-use products
and specifying durable materials. The avoidance of construction waste can also be achieved
through the use of supplier take back schemes, particularly with respect to packaging waste. Where
possible, outer and inner packaging and timber pallets would be returned to a supplier by prior
arrangement.
Reuse and Preparation for Re-use

3.3.3

In order to manage waste in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy, it will be essential to maximise
the re-use rates of generated wastes as far as is practicable and economically viable. This will
necessitate an understanding of how the materials may be re-used and segregating the materials in
such a way whereby they may be reused without further processing. For example, materials such
as timber should be segregated at an early stage before they are placed in mixed waste containers,
which will minimise the potential for damage and increase the likelihood that they may be reused.

3.3.4

There are a number of wastes likely to arise from the site preparation and construction phases of
the scheme which are able to be reused or prepared for re-use either on-site or, where this is not
viable, off-site. These include:-

Soils, aggregate, concrete or hardcore/brick from site preparatory works; and

15
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

excess materials such as timber, fencing, insulation, plasterboard and materials from the
fit-out stage, such as ceramics, tiles, paint etc.

3.3.5

As far as is practicable, structures and materials will be reused on site in preference to being used
off site. However, where on-site reuse is considered inappropriate or unviable, for example where
the old materials are of an incorrect size, quality or design, consideration will be given to off-site
reuse as the preferred option.

3.3.6

Any reduction in material wastage or increase in reuse should result in cost savings. Particular
attention would be paid to recoverable materials, which if reused could substitute for primary
materials. The reuse of soils generated from earthworks and site preparation within the site final
contours and landscaping is a key opportunity. Timber is also a valuable resource which, depending
on its condition, can be easily reused (e.g. for temporary shuttering).
Recycle/Compost

3.3.7

Where the re-use of waste is not practicable for technical or economic reasons it will be sent for
recycling or energy recovery in preference to landfill disposal. In order to ensure that waste
recovery is maximised, the appointed Principal Contractor will only permit waste to be managed by
approved waste management sub-contractors who can demonstrate a high level of waste recovery
(i.e. more than 70% municipal waste or 80% construction waste recovery rates).

3.3.8

It is likely that quantities of inert waste such as soils, concrete and brick will be generated. Where
possible, these will be reused on-site for the final grading of the completed site. However, where
this is not possible (e.g. the materials are damaged) or there is no requirement for excess materials
within the design, waste will be removed from the site and recycled into aggregate using an
appropriately permitted off-site aggregate recycling plant.

3.3.9

It is likely that only small quantities of organic (green) waste will be generated during the site
preparation phase of the construction works. Organic (green) waste arising from vegetation or
weed growth will be taken from the site and composted at an appropriately permitted facility or
sent for energy recovery. No organic waste will be sent to landfill or treated on site by burning.

3.3.10 Due to the nature and scale of the proposed development, a wide range of construction materials
are predicted to arise from the scheme. Whilst opportunities for re-use will be explored in the first

16
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

instance, the non-reusable construction wastes will be recycled unless this is proven to be
technically or economically unviable.
3.3.11 Materials which are suitable for recycling are most likely to be those which are damaged and
cannot therefore be re-used. Key materials will be:

Excess or damaged metals;

Excess or damaged plastics;

Damaged timber;

Excess or damaged glazing;

Excess solvents and paints; and

Damaged or off-cuts of insulation.

3.3.12 Whilst measures will be taken to ensure that building materials stored and used on site do not
become damaged, any damaged materials such as glass and glazing panels will be recycled. All
used timber products and off cuts will be reused where possible, but poor quality timber will be
sent to a reprocessor for off-site recycling (or energy recovery as biomass). All waste metals will be
sent to a reprocessor for recycling.
Energy Recovery
3.3.13 For residual wastes (i.e. those which cannot be re-used or recycled) energy recovery would be
considered in preference to landfill disposal. However due to the typical nature of construction
wastes, it is anticipated that the fraction of this waste stream which is suitable for energy recovery
would be relatively small. The key construction waste streams which would be suitable for energy
recovery would be high calorific materials such as plastics and timber. Generally there will be other
preferred management options for these materials which sit higher up the Waste Hierarchy (e.g.
re-use and recycling).
Landfill disposal
3.3.14 Disposal to landfill is the least preferred option in terms of the Waste Hierarchy and would only be
considered as a waste management method when all other options have been explored. Landfill is
currently the accepted management method for certain hazardous wastes, such as asbestos. As the

17
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

application site comprises a cleared and level site, the potential for asbestos to arise from the
development is low.
3.3.15 Where hazardous construction wastes are generated, such as paint, paint containers, mastic or oils,
these will be removed from site and treated in accordance with legislative requirements. It is
unlikely that these materials would be landfilled.

4.0 Construction Waste Measurement and Monitoring

4.0.1

On 1st December 2013, the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 2008 were revoked and there
is no longer a statutory requirement to produce a SWMP in England. However, many of the
requirements of the SWMP Regulations, such as the requirement to measure waste, are not only
required by current waste legislation but also accord with industry best practice and as such would
continue to be undertaken during the construction phase of the development.

4.1

Duty of Care Requirements

4.1.1

All construction waste leaving the application site would be handled and transported by a registered
waste carrier, in full compliance with the Duty of Care requirements and all other relevant
environmental legislation (see section 1.1.1). All waste leaving the site would be taken to
appropriately permitted waste management facilities in compliance with the Environmental
Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013. This requirement is
absolute, regardless of whether the waste management site is being used to transfer the waste to
an onward destination or the site is a final destination for waste treatment, recycling, recovery or
disposal.

4.1.2

During the construction phase, the Principal Contractor and all waste sub-contractors would ensure
that where possible and/or practicable, legally compliant local waste re-processing, treatment or
disposal sites are used in order to minimise the potential for adverse effects associated with
transporting waste materials long distances on the public highway.

4.1.3

Duty of Care documentation (e.g. waste transfer notes and consignment notes) for all waste
collections from the construction site would be checked by the Site Manager and a copy retained by
the Environmental Manager (Principal Contractor).

4.1.4

It is also now a requirement for a declaration to be signed on the Waste Transfer Note to confirm
that the waste has been managed in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy (as required by
Regulation 12 of the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011).

4.2

Waste Measurement

4.2.1

All construction waste movements leaving the development site would be measured and recorded.
Data would typically comprise the quantity of waste (by weight or volume), the types of waste

19
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

collected (using European Waste Catalogue/List of Waste codes), recycling rates and waste carrier
details. Data recorded may also include:-

4.2.2

Segregation rates;

Reuse on and off site;

Wastage rates of different materials;

Costs and cost savings;

Sources of wastes;

Waste profile over the course of the project;

Levels of damaged materials;

Materials removed from the site to landfill; and

Quantity of imported recycled materials.

The Principal Contractor may use its own recording system or industry recognised systems such as
the Building Research Establishment (BRE) SMARTWaste monitoring and measurement programme.
The SMARTWaste programme is recommended for recording site waste data. To access the
programme go to www.smartwaste.co.uk and enter login and password details or create a new
account if a new user. There is a charge for using this service.

4.2.3

Details of the material types and quantities contained within each skip would be recorded, along
with the waste management option chosen (reuse/preparation for reuse, recycle and disposal) for
the waste. The SMARTWaste software would enable the monitoring of waste levels, through
analysis of the required data input over the duration of the project, against industry standards.
However, measurement and monitoring can also be undertaken manually, with the data reviewed
over time.

4.3

Waste Monitoring

4.3.1

The monitoring of construction waste (using the BRE SMARTWaste tool or undertaking manually)
would be summarised on a monthly basis and reported on site and through an electronic
information exchange which shares information with DIO, the Principal Contractor and its subcontractors. The aim of this being to increase awareness of the waste production on site and to
form the basis of a review of project activities, identifying where improvements have been/should
be made.

20
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

4.3.2

Waste data derived from weighbridge tickets and Waste Transfer Notes would be provided directly
by the waste management subcontractor to the Environmental Manager (Principal Contractor).
These would be used for comparison and verification against data reported from the application site
and would be monitored by the Site Manager (Principal Contractor) who will liaise with the
Environmental Manager as required. The Principal Contractor would be required to attend regular
meetings with DIO to monitor and discuss the operational effectiveness of the waste management
practices, as well as to plan for any changes in project circumstances.

4.4

Waste and Performance Review

4.4.1

Throughout the project the Environmental Manager (Principal Contractor) would review the
performance of all parties which are involved in waste management on the development site. The
results of audits and inspections, waste data and the outcome of incidents or complaints would all
feed into the regular reviews. The results of these reviews would be communicated to the site team
and where appropriate, the senior management team (DIO and Principal Contractor).

4.4.2

Upon completion of the development on Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall, a final waste
management review would be carried out which reviews waste performance and identifies any
significant issues arising from the development, together with any lessons learnt. In order to
ensure continual improvement, these issues would be discussed during the final management
review including, where appropriate, corrective and preventative measures proposed for
subsequent development projects.

4.4.3

The results of these reviews, together with any outcomes, would be recorded and retained by DIO.

5.0 Roles and Responsibilities for Managing Construction Waste

5.0.1

The correct management of waste throughout the construction phase of the project is essential in
ensuring that statutory legal requirements are met, that high environmental standards are
maintained and that waste is managed sustainably and in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy.

5.0.2

This Section describes the various roles within the construction team (i.e. Principal Contractor,
Waste Management (or Logistics) Contractor, Trades (Sub) Contractors) which are likely to have
responsibility for managing waste during the construction phase of the development. It is not
currently possible to definitively identify these roles and the information in this Section is therefore
indicative at this stage. However, once a Principal Contractor has been appointed, the names of the
nominated persons with responsibility for site waste management would be displayed in the site
office(s). These details would be updated and maintained regularly by the Project Manager to
reflect the specific site requirements or changes in nominated persons. Exact roles and job titles
may vary depending on the contractor appointments made and one individual may undertake the
duties of more than one role, for example the Site Manager and Environmental Manager may be
the same individual.

5.0.3

Responsibility for waste management during the construction works is usually assigned to either
the Principal (main) Contractor or a waste/logistics contractor. In terms of general waste
management on site, the Principal Contractors responsibilities would include, but not be limited
to, the following:

Provide an area for a secure waste compound where segregated materials for (on-site or
off-site) reuse or recycling can be safely stored;

Monitor the general site conditions in terms of waste management. Ensure the trade
contractors keep their work areas safe and tidy; and

Where there have been large volumes of waste generated (from improper storage, damage
or other incident), investigate further and carry out a review in order to avoid a recurrence.

5.0.4

The Waste Contractors/ Logistics Contractors responsibilities would include but not be
limited to the following:

Supply and management of roll-on roll-off containers, skips, wheeled bins, weighbridge
systems (if required) and labour at the sites waste compound;

22
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Management of the waste compound;

Ensure correct segregation of wastes at the waste compound and on site;

Manage and monitor waste streams and quantities and ensure maximum reuse and
recycling performance;

Maintain legal compliance (including the maintenance of records in accordance with Duty of
Care);

5.0.5

5.0.6

Respond to waste incidents on site; and

Report information on waste production and recycling quantities on a monthly basis.

The trade contractors responsibilities would include but not be limited to the following:

Each trade contractor is responsible for maintaining a safe and tidy work area; and

Each trade contractor is required to engage in material segregation on site.

At the tender stage, all potential trade contractors would be required to demonstrate the
following:

That steps will be taken to minimise waste from materials brought onto site. Plasterboard,
pallets, plastic wrapping and cardboard would be taken back to the product manufacturer
via take back schemes;

How pre-fabricated materials are maximised within the scope of their work; and

The expected waste quantities for each material stream to be identified, including
hazardous waste.

5.1

Communication and Training

5.1.1

Education on general waste management issues, such as the importance of waste segregation,
waste storage, handling etc, would primarily be delivered to staff through the site induction
process. Specific awareness training on the contents and requirements of relevant waste legislation
and Duty of Care Regulations would be delivered to key staff, such as site management and
foremen, via an awareness briefing by the Principal Contractor but it would be disseminated to all
operatives via toolbox talks or staff meetings. The Site Manager would be responsible for ensuring
that all staff are competent to carry out their duties, or where necessary, arrange for further
training to be undertaken.

23
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

5.1.2

Internal communication, progress updates and feedback on the waste management performance of
the project would be provided by regular staff meetings or team briefings. The dissemination of
waste management information would be the responsibility of the Environmental Manager and
topics for discussion might include:

A discussion of the findings of inspections and a review of waste management

performance;

Any significant or re-occurring non-compliances, complaints or waste related incidents,

including corrective and preventative action taken;

The co-ordination of short term planning for forthcoming activities (i.e. those stages of the
project which might be expected to generate higher levels of waste); and

5.1.3

Any relevant environmental information and the dissemination of best practice.

It is hoped that these values can be transferred from the first phase of the development (site
preparation) to subsequent phases (construction, fit-out and landscaping), thereby promoting the
adoption of sustainable waste management practices on a wider scale.

6.0 Construction Waste Storage, Handling and Segregation

6.0.1

This Section describes the requirements for construction waste storage, handling and segregation
in order to demonstrate that throughout the construction phase of the development, waste would
be stored, handled and segregated safely and in full accordance with legislation and industry best
practice.

6.1

Storage

6.1.1

All materials that are brought onto the site would be allocated space so they may be properly
stored on an even surface and protected from adverse weather conditions. Stored materials would
ideally be located in a dedicated storage area that is routinely kept clean and tidy in line with good
housekeeping measures (thereby preventing slips and trips from poorly stored materials). Where
possible just in time delivery measures would be implemented on site in order to prevent damage
from poor storage and over handling of materials.

6.1.2

All hazardous materials would be kept safe and secure in dedicated (United Nations approved)
storage receptacles of an appropriate design. Fuel or oil storage arrangements would fulfil the
Environment Agencys Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 in order to
ensure best practice is applied. The Environment Agency would be consulted where queries exist
regarding the legal or regulatory requirements for the storage of hazardous materials.

6.1.3

All skips and waste containers would be provided by and managed by the waste management
contractor. Skips and containers would be labelled (according to waste type) and if possible colour
coded in order to aid segregation. Waste stream colour coding has been identified by the
construction industry as an integral part in raising waste awareness, separating waste at source,
reducing the amount of construction waste sent to landfill and providing cost savings to
construction companies.

6.1.4

The accepted colour coding scheme is as follows:

Gypsum - White;

Inert Grey;

Mixed Black;

Metal Blue;

25
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

6.1.5

Wood Green;

Packaging Brown; and

Hazardous Orange.

Each trade contractor would be responsible for maintaining a clean and tidy work area with the
prompt removal of waste and other debris. All waste containers would be stored in designated
areas and away from thoroughfares and surface water drains.

6.2

Handling

6.2.1

Manual handling of wastes would be minimised as far as is practicable. The manual sorting of
waste containers or the movement of waste from one container to another will be actively
discouraged, unless the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used.

6.3

Segregation

6.3.1

In general terms, segregation aids and improves recovery rates. In practical terms, the level of
recovery varies between projects and is dependent on waste that is:

Produced in sufficient quantities to make the operating costs of the recovery practice
economically attractive;

Easily segregated on site;

Significantly higher in value as a segregated waste than as a mixed waste; and

Produced on a site where local reprocessing options for those waste streams are readily
available.

6.3.2

There are a number of measures which can encourage and improve segregation of different wastes
types on a construction site. The establishment of a waste management compound or zone with
sufficient space for a number of recycling/recovery skips is an important first step. However, where
there is a lack of space on site to achieve segregation, it is important to:

Work closely with the waste management contractor to ensure that the mixed waste
containers are sorted for recycling at a waste facility;

Use smaller, portable bins at the work face; and

26
20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Empty containers on a regular basis to prevent overfilling, a lack of space and/or possible
contamination of waste streams.

6.3.3

Labelling containers and the provision of adequate signage has been proven to increase
participation in segregating wastes. Furthermore the use of a colour coding system can improve
segregation of wastes and can provide simple and effective communication for promoting and
easing streaming and segregation of construction waste at source (see Section 6.1.4 for the
industry approved colour scheme).

6.3.4

Before embarking on the segregation of different waste streams, it is advisable to discuss suitable
options for separation with the appointed waste management contractor which collects the waste
from site. This would establish how the waste should be sorted, stored and collected from site.
Once this has been established, the labels and/or colour can be assigned to each waste container
to ensure the correct material is placed inside.

6.3.5

The location of skips can influence participation in the segregation of different materials. Containers
would be located within safe and easy access of work areas and it would be ensured that
operatives do not have to walk long distances to the skips/containers.

6.3.6

The full compliance of all site operatives with the rules for segregating wastes prevents the risk of
cross contamination between waste streams. It is necessary to enforce the segregation scheme
using appropriate personnel and monitoring. For example, this may involve a designated member
of staff (such as a Waste Champion or the Site Manager) auditing skips and other segregation
containers on a regular basis to assess and monitor whether segregation is occurring and whether
or not sub-contractors are co-operating. This will identify if problems exist.

7.0 Operational Waste Management

7.0.1

The proposed use of the Land on Tidworth Road, Ludgershall includes both residential from the 300
Service Family Accommodation dwellings as well as a primary school. Upon completion of the
construction phase, the proposed development would generate a wide range of municipal wastes
(i.e. both household and commercial wastes).

7.1

Municipal Waste Types

7.1.1

Household waste produced by residents within the development would be collected by Wiltshire
Council. The principal household waste types which may be produced following the completion of
the scheme are likely to be those listed in Table 3 below.
Table 3: Predicted Household Waste Types and Management Options

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Bulky waste (furniture, white

goods etc)

7.1.2

Re-use, recycle

It is likely that the nature of the commercial waste produced by the proposed school would be
similar in nature to the household waste generated, although it is likely that there would be higher
proportions of packaging and paper waste and potentially food waste. The school would need to
appoint a waste contractor to collect and manage their commercial waste and whilst Wiltshire
Council operates a chargeable business waste collection scheme, businesses and schools also have
the option of appointing a private waste contractor.

7.2

Municipal Waste Quantities

7.2.1

Predicted average household waste generation rates range from 13.8 to 24.2 kilograms per
household per week (kg/hh/wk) (Association of Directors of Environment, Economy Planning and
Transport (ADEPT), 2010). This data is backed up by information provided by DEFRA and The
Office of National Statistics (ONS) which states that the average household size is 2.4 persons per
household (ONS, November 2012) and that in 2013 each person produced 403kg of household
waste per annum (DEFRA, Statistics on waste managed by local authorities in England in 20132014 November 2014). This equates to approximately 967kg per household per annum or 18.6kg
per household per week which falls within the range specified by ADEPT.

7.2.2

For the purpose of this assessment a figure of 18.6kg/hh/wk or 0.967 tonnes/hh/yr of household
waste has been used to calculate the quantity of household waste generated within the proposed
development.

7.2.3

The proposed development on land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall includes provision for
approximately 300 Service Family Accommodation dwellings. Based on the waste production figures
above, the 300 homes would produce approximately 290 tonnes of household waste per annum.

7.2.4

A study by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) (The Nature and Scale of Waste
Produced By Schools in England, June 2008) suggests that primary school pupils generate 45kg of
waste per pupil per academic year. On completion, the proposed primary school would therefore
potentially generate relatively high quantities of commercial waste. Based on a 2 form entry, the
school may generate approximately 18,900kg of waste per annum (or 18.9 tonnes per annum).

29

Defence Infrastructure Organisation

A089116-10

20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

7.2.5

The proposed development is therefore predicted to generate approximately 309 tonnes of

municipal waste per annum.

7.3

Municipal Waste Management

7.3.1

The arrangements for the storage and segregation of household waste within the proposed
development would need to accord with the current waste collection arrangements within Wiltshire.
Household waste within Wiltshire is currently segregated into four waste streams as follows:

Black bin or bags general non-recyclable waste;

Black box - recyclable waste (e.g. cans, metal, foil, glass, paper (magazines and
newspapers), clothes and shoes);

Blue lidded bin plastic bottles, cardboard (not large pieces of card or carrier bags,
yoghurt pots, TETRAPAK etc); and

7.3.2

Garden waste bin chargeable garden waste collection service.

Wiltshire Council does not currently provide a food waste collection service but it has teamed up
with Great Green Systems to offer subsidised food waste digesters and composters. Residents can
purchase either Green Cones or Green Johannas at reduced prices which enable households to
compost both cooked and uncooked food as well as garden waste, thereby significantly reducing
the level of waste sent to landfill.

7.3.3

A key design measure of the proposed development is that sufficient internal storage space would
be provided within each residential unit for the storage of both recyclable and non-recyclable
waste. Best practice guidance document by ADEPT Making Space for Waste Designing Waste

Management in New Developments (June 2010) provides guidance on the level of waste storage
space required within residential developments. The ADEPT report states that internal storage
capacity should provide space for at least three separate bins with a minimum total capacity of 30
litres. Every bin should have a capacity of at least 7 litres and be located within adequate internal
space. The internal waste storage space provided within each residential unit would meet this best
practice recommendation which would also meet the requirements of Code for Sustainable Homes
Level 4, if this was required.

30

Defence Infrastructure Organisation

A089116-10

20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

7.3.4

In additional to the internal storage space provided within individual residential units, external
waste storage areas would be provided for the storage of both recyclable and non-recyclable waste
containers. In order to ensure that waste is segregated in accordance with Wiltshire Councils
current waste collection arrangements, sufficient external space would be provided for a minimum
of four different waste containers.

7.3.5

External waste storage areas for the residential units would be easily accessible for residents to
dispose of their waste but also enable easy access to agreed waste collection points where
containers would be collected by waste collection crews. Waste storage areas would be located
with due regard to the distance between the storage area and the agreed waste collection point,
minimising the need for the containers to be transported over a change in level (such as kerbs and
steps) or long distances.

7.3.6

The primary school would incorporate sufficient external space for recyclable and non-recyclable
waste containers which would be provided by the appointed waste contractor. The schools design
would incorporate an appropriate entrance enabling safe access and manoeuvrability for waste
collection vehicles.

7.3.7

Segregation practices and requirements for commercial waste from the school will be dictated by
the schools choice of commercial waste contractor and the contractors preferred waste
management method (e.g. whether they transport waste to a waste transfer station for bulking or
a Materials Recycling Facility for sorting or other treatment, etc). Thus, depending on the preferred
management method, the contractor may provide a single waste container for a range of mixed
recyclables (i.e. co-mingled waste) or a number of separate recycling containers for separate waste
streams (i.e. source segregated wastes). In all cases, the specific requirements for segregation
would be clearly identified and discussed with the contractor and communicated to school staff and
caretakers.

7.3.8

This will help to ensure the correct segregation of wastes, thereby maximising the potential for
recycling.

8.0 Summary and Conclusions

8.0.1

Construction waste from the proposed development at Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall would
be generated from all phases of the project (site clearance, construction, fit-out works). There is a
legal requirement to manage this waste sustainably in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy and
the Duty of Care.

8.0.2

This Waste Audit Report aims to demonstrate to interested parties how waste arising from the
proposed development, both during the construction and post-construction phases, will be
managed. A primary objective of this Waste Audit Report is to ensure that all parties involved in the
development of the site will manage construction waste in accordance with legislation and
Wilstshire Councils own sustainable waste management requirements.

8.0.3

Construction waste would be minimised as far as practicable, both through design and operational
measures. Opportunities for pre-fabrication of structures and materials would be explored to
minimise on-site waste arisings. Furthermore, the use of durable construction materials and fabrics
would also be used as far as possible to avoid the need for replacement in the medium to long
term, thereby minimising waste production.

8.0.4

Waste produced during the day to day use of the completed development would comprise both
household and commercial wastes. The types of waste predicted to arise from the completed
development would typically include food waste, packaging, glass, plastics, paper and card, foil and
residents and the proposed primary school would be required to segregate their waste into
different recyclable and non-recyclable waste streams. Sufficient space would be provided in order
to ensure that the waste produced from the development can be segregated in accordance with the
waste collection contractors requirements.

8.0.5

The sustainable management of waste has been given a high priority within the outline design of
the Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall and would be considered further at the detailed design
stage, both in terms of the management of construction waste and the longer term management of
household and commercial waste.

Appendix B Waste Minimisation Statement

20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

WASTE MINIMISATION STATEMENT

This Waste Minimisation Statement has been prepared to support the Land at Tidworth Road, Ludgershall
Waste Audit Report. It provides details on the strategy and methodology for minimising the production of
waste arising from the construction of the development including any preparatory site works necessary for
the scheme.
General Waste Management Principles
The generation of all types of waste will be minimised and where possible either designed out or reduced by
using the Waste Hierarchy principles of reduction, reuse, recycling and energy recovery, with disposal being
the least favoured option. Where waste is produced, it will be reused on site in preference to options which
require its removal from the site. Only waste which cannot be recovered or used for energy recovery will be
sent to landfill.
All waste and recyclate leaving the site will be recorded using Waste Transfer Notes in full compliance with
environmental legislation. These movements of waste will be monitored by waste type. All waste carriers will
have a valid Waste Carriers Registration Certificate. As far as is practicable, selected waste management
facilities will be local, in order to minimise the environmental impacts associated with transporting waste long
distances.
Any contaminated waste material produced from the project will be transferred to a suitably permitted waste
management facility, in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations.
All works will be carried out in line with Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2007.
Waste Avoidance and Minimisation
The generation of construction waste will, as the first priority, be avoided wherever practicable. Structural
repetition would be incorporated into the design as far as possible and prefabricated building materials would
be specified, including cladding and glazing, which minimises wastage in off-cuts. However, where
construction standards require materials to be cut or formed, all off-cuts would be taken from site by the
contractor and reused or recycled.
Measures would be taken to further avoid and minimise waste production. These would include:-

20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Accurate on-site measurement of materials required rather than take-offs from bill of quantities
or potentially out of date drawings;

Incorporation of waste minimisation measures in the design of buildings, such as the use of prefabricated structural materials, structural repetition and the selection of durable building
materials;

Site inspections carried out to ensure materials that arrive are to the correct specification and to
the required quality;

Just-in-time deliveries to avoid damage on site;

Inspection prior to off loading to ensure no damaged materials are accepted on site;
Adequate and secure storage of materials to avoid damage on site;

Avoidance of double handling and therefore potential for damage in the setting down positions
of materials; and

Encouraging suppliers to take back packaging and containers following delivery of goods.
Re-Use and Recovery of Waste
Opportunities for reusing waste on-site have been explored but are considered to be limited due to the
nature of the construction works. Site preparation wastes would be reused on site where possible, for
example, soils will be used in landscaped areas and aggregate, brick and concrete would be reused where
possible. However damaged materials, or those which cannot be incorporated into the proposed design,
would be recycled.
Any waste generated on site would be stored appropriately and if possible would be segregated to minimise
contamination and to enable maximum reuse and recovery. Examples of this would include ferrous and non
ferrous metals, damaged or broken pipework, timber, plastic packaging and wooden pallets. In the case of
plastic packaging and wooden pallets, these items would in the first instance be taken back by or returned to
the company/courier delivering the shipped materials. Where this is not possible, the packaging would be reused or recycled. Any hazardous or liquid wastes generated on site (empty paint/solvent cans, mastic sealant
etc) would be taken from site by the contractor or subcontractor responsible and taken to an authorised
treatment facility for disposal.

20/03/2015

Land at Tidworth Road (Corunna Barracks), Ludgershall

Appropriate Use of Materials

In accordance with good practice, DIO and the Principal Contractor would ensure that the importation of
materials for use in construction is correctly assessed to avoid surplus materials being ordered.
Staff responsible for material selection and ordering would have due regard to the suitability of goods for the
intended use, so that unsuitable products are not procured (which may then require disposal).

The Waste Hierarchy includes prevention, preparing for re-use, recycling, other recovery and disposal.
DEFRA guidance document Guidance on applying the Waste Hierarchy (2011) provides the following
examples for the different stages of the hierarchy.

Waste Prevention:
Using less material in design and manufacture, keeping products for longer (e.g. re-use), using less
hazardous materials.

Preparation for Reuse:

Checking, cleaning, repairing, and refurbishing whole items or spare parts.

Recycling:
Turning waste into a new substance or product. Includes composting if it meets the quality protocol.

Other Recovery:
Includes anaerobic digestion, incineration with energy recovery, gasification and pyrolysis which produce
energy (fuels, heat and power) and materials from waste; some backfilling.

Disposal:
Landfill and incineration without energy recovery.
