Bin storage location and screening requirements

It is not appropriate for bins to be stored to the front of properties, as these areas provide a public aspect and can adversely affect the character and appearance of the streetscape. While bins should be stored to the rear of properties, the storage of bins to the side-rear may be permitted where it is demonstrated that: i. sufficient space to accommodate the bins is available without impeding rear access; ii. appropriate screening will be in place and maintained in order to hide the bins from public view; and iii. the storage of bins will not result in the loss of in-curtilage car parking provision, where applicable.
