Representation ID: 168256

Received: 29/07/2019

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council

Representation Summary:

6.6 PLANNING APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Section 6.6 sets out the requirements for planning applications. The site is an airfield with a considerable amount of runway and hard surfacing which may require removal and recycling and as it is a strategic site the development should comply with Policy CS28 of the adopted Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mineral and Waste Core Strategy. This will require the site wide planning application to include the submission of a Waste Management Audit and Strategy which will set out the anticipated nature and volumes of waste arising (demolition and construction). It must also set out the detailed measures to be put in place to minimise the waste arising; together with the steps that will be taken to segregate, source, store, recover and recycle that waste. Consistent with Policy CS28 provision should also be made for a temporary recycling facility to be in place throughout the construction phases of development. Specifying this requirement at this stage will allow any developer to reflect this is their proposal, and their detailed phasing plans.
