Policy WM 4: Land Improvement
Inert waste disposal on land is permitted only where it results in land improvement and meets specific environmental and operational criteria including demonstration of local need, best practicable environmental option status, and minimum fill quantities.
The disposal of inert waste by its deposition on land will only be permitted where it is demonstrated that it will result in land improvement and all of the following criteria are met:
• it will not result in an unacceptable adverse environmental impact that cannot be prevented or appropriately controlled by mitigating measures (see Policy WM 1); and
• there is a local need for the development and it can be demonstrated that it is the BPEO;
• only the minimum quantity of fill necessary to achieve the proposed improvement shall be deposited;
• detailed measures are included for the appropriate restoration and aftercare of sites that will help to enhance bio-diversity.
