Multiple developments monitoring construction waste on a site - KBCN00036

Where the same contractor is working on a site with more than one development, a single Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP)/Resource Management Plan (RMP) can be produced to demonstrate compliance, if it can be justified that separation of the waste would be impractical. Where the developments are of a similar nature, such as all new-build or all refurbishment with similar scope, the results from the whole development can be apportioned on the basis of floor area to derive the figures upon which the separate developments will be assessed. Where the buildings are not similar, the design team will need to provide calculations to demonstrate that the waste has been apportioned as accurately as possible according to the project types.

Waste from temporary structures - KBCN1038

Temporary support structures, or any other materials or systems brought on site to facilitate construction of a building and that subsequently enter the waste stream (albeit for recycling) will be considered as construction waste and contribute to the construction waste generated for the development. If the support structure is reused on another site by the contractor (or another contractor) it has not entered the waste stream and, therefore, would not be included in the figures for waste generated. Reused timber formwork would be excluded in the same way.
