Waste Management Strategy Consistency and BPEO Demonstration

The targets contained within the Waste Management Strategy require a significant shift away from landfill. Waste treatment facilities reuse, recycle and recover waste materials and can significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. They can also have benefits in relation to the co-location or provision of integrated facilities close to waste arisings, close to where waste is reused or close to other waste treatment facilities. Applicants must demonstrate that the proposal is consistent with the WMS and the relevant WMP and is the BPEO or a constituent part of the BPEO for a waste stream. Further guidance on assessing BPEO is contained within BPEO - Decision Makers' Guide prepared by Environment and Heritage Service.
