Powers were included in the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 for regulations requiring a site waste management plan (SWMP) for works involving construction or demolition waste.
Following the voluntary code of practice launched by DTI in 2004, Defra has developed proposals for compulsory site waste management plans in England. SWMPs aim both to reduce fly-tipping and to promote the potential resource savings from minimising waste.
The consultation package includes an explanation of the proposals, a partial regulatory impact assessment and draft regulations. Views are invited from all those with an interest in the construction industry and protecting the environment from waste crime.
The closing date for responses is 9 July 2007.
Liverpool Chamber Environment Club supported by MERBEN and Envirowise is organising an event on 13 June 2007 which is prior to the consultation closing date for the Construction Industry and related sectors which will allow informed opinions to be passed to Government.
Visit the consultation page on the Mersey Economy website for more info.
