Site Waste Management Planning Starts Now
|
From the end of January the CEW waste team will be managing a series of workshops to encourage the industry to take part in the consultation process for the Draft Regulations for Site Waste Management Plans. If it’s worth having – it’s worth waiting for!! We in CEW are delighted that at last we are about to see the consultation process on the draft regulation for Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPS) in Wales get under way on 31st January. Our long standing position on the principle of SWMP is well known – we see it as a, if not the key element in achieving Wales’ goals for reducing the waste generated during the build process. SWMP will push waste right to the forefront of the construction process and will raise the awareness of every stakeholder involved in the built environment from client to designer to planner to contractor and onward down the supply chain. When we ran fact finding workshops back in 2008 we were inspired by the almost unanimous support for the implementation of SWMP; industry across the board expressed the view that this would create a level playing field for all participants and early introduction of SWMP regulation was encouraged. We are hopeful that enthusiasm for this regulation has not waned through the passage of time and that our programme of facilitated consultation workshops will harvest that enthusiasm. We urge you to become involved – watch out for more details and look for information about the Consultation Launch Event or contact Paul Jennings Director, Construction and Demolition Waste Programme To register to attend email CEWales
