1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1.1. WSP has been commissioned by Unite Group Plc and Travis Perkins Plc (the ‘Applicants’) to
develop the Waste Management Strategy for Baltic Wharf (hereafter referred to as ‘the Proposed
Development’), within the administrative boundary of Westminster City Council (WCC).
1.1.2. This Waste Management Strategy considers the potential impacts that may arise from waste
generated during the operational phase of the Proposed Development, with the overall aim of
developing a strategy for legislative compliance and good practice in the separation, storage and
collection of waste.
1.2 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
1.2.1. Demolition of existing Travis Perkins building(s) on the Site at 149 Harrow Road, erection of a
building (plus basement) between 7 and 22 storeys in height, comprising reprovision of Travis
Perkins builders merchant (Sui Generis) at ground and mezzanine floor and student accommodation
(Sui Generis), ancillary community space (Sui Generis) and student amenity terraces above,
together with public realm improvements to Harrow Road and the creation of a canal side path with
landscaping. Provision of cycle parking, car parking for the Travis Perkins Builders Merchant.

2 WASTE LEGISLATION, POLICY & GUIDANCE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1. The development and implementation of European Union (EU) waste policy and legislation is
delivered by EU Directives, such as the Landfill Directive, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive etc. Member States must implement the policy drivers and requirements of these
Directives through national legislation.
2.1.2. The revised Waste Framework Directive (rWFD) is a unique EU Directive because it clarifies the
definition of ‘waste’ and of other concepts such as ‘recycling’ and ‘recovery’. It implements a revised
Waste Hierarchy, expands the ‘polluter pays’ principle by emphasising producer responsibility and
applies more stringent waste reduction and management targets for Member States. It also requires
Member States to take measures to promote high quality recycling and to set up separate
collections of paper, plastic, metal and glass.
2.1.3. The UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020 and the subsequent transition period ended on 31
December 2020. During that time, the UK was treated for most purposes as if it were still an EU
Member State, and most EU law (including as amended or supplemented) continued to apply to the
UK. Since 1 January 2021, legislation will remain in force as part of UK law and will be repealed or
amended at the will of Parliament or the devolved parliaments / assembly.
2.1.4. This section focusses on the details of the national legislation that is relevant to the Proposed
Development, much of which is influenced by the rWFD. National, London and local waste policy
and guidance reviewed during the preparation of this Waste Management Strategy are listed below.
2.2 NATIONAL LEGISLATION
2.2.1. A list of relevant items of national waste legislation is outlines below in reverse chronological order:
¡ Waste Management, The Duty of Care Code of Practice (2018 update) - This code of
practices replaces the 1996 Code and is pursuant to Section 34(9) of the Environmental
Protection Act 1990. It sets out practical guidance on how to meet waste duty of care
requirements and is admissible as evidence in legal proceedings i.e. its rules will be taken into
account where relevant in any case based on breach of the duty of care.
¡ The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 (as amended) - Waste collection
authorities must collect waste paper, metal, plastic and glass separately. It also imposes a duty
on waste collection authorities, from the date, when making arrangements for the collection of
such waste, to ensure that those arrangements are by way of separate collection.
¡ Environment Protection Act 1990 - Part II of the act was originally implemented by the Duty of
Care Regulations 1991. The Duty of Care is a legal requirement for those dealing with certain
kinds of waste to take all reasonable steps to keep it safe and is set out in Section 34 of the Act.
The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 repealed the Environmental Protection (Duty
of Care) Regulations 1991 and apply the Duty of Care requirements by the Environmental
Protection Act 1990.

3 MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONAL WASTE - STUDENT
ACCOMMODATION (UNITE GROUP)
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1. This section outlines the plan which will be adopted to manage the waste arising within the student
accommodation once operational.
3.2 WASTE GENERATION MODEL
3.2.1. The estimated waste arising from the student accommodation has been quantified based on waste
generation metrics detailed in Unite’s turnkey specification, which are based on actual waste
generation data from similar student developments within their portfolio. The waste generation
metrics include waste streams that are generated by students within their bedrooms and associated
living areas, kitchens and communal areas.
3.2.2. Table 3-1 summarises Unite’s weekly waste generation metrics:
Table 3-1 - Student Bedroom Weekly Waste Generation Metric
No. of Units Waste Generation Metric per Week
250 bedrooms 1 No. 1,100 litre Eurobin per 28 bedrooms
3.2.3. The above waste metrics were agreed with the Project Officer (Waste Planning and Resource
Management) at WCC on 25 March 2021 – refer to Appendix B.
3.2.4. It should be noted that the student accommodation waste stream will be managed and collected
through a commercial waste collection contractor appointed by Unite or their managing agents.
3.2.5. Table 3-2 summarises the number of student bedrooms within the Proposed Development.

3.2.7. The Guidance includes specific requirements relating to the segregation of residential waste
streams.
3.2.8. Whilst this strategy has been based on Unite Students’ own waste generation metrics, it has been
assumed that the total waste generated will be allocated using the segregation requirements
detailed in the Guidance (Table 3-4).
Table 3-4 – Waste Segregation Requirements
Waste Type Apportionment
Refuse 30%
Paper & Cardboard 20%
Dry Mixed Recyclables 20%
Glass 20%
Food Waste 10%
TOTAL 100%
3.2.9. The use of the above apportionments was agreed with the Project Officer (Waste Planning and
Resource Management) at WCC on 25 March 2021 – refer to Appendix B.
3.2.10. Based on the total waste metrics outlined in Table 3-3 and the waste apportionment detailed in
Table 3-4, Table 3-5 summarises the total volume of each waste stream that will require storage
based on a weekly collection frequency.

3.3 PROPOSED WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
3.3.1. Each of the student bedrooms will be provided with waste bins to allow the occupant to separate
refuse and mixed recyclables.
3.3.2. Based on Unite’s turnkey specification which provides details of their preferred waste containers,
Figure 3-1 shows the wastepaper and bathroom pod bins that will be provided.
Figure 3-1 - Example Waste Bins - Student Bedrooms and Bathrooms
3.3.3. In addition, all communal areas will be provided with segregated waste bins for refuse and mixed
recyclables.
3.3.4. Unite’s standard waste bin is shown in Figure 3-2. Each area will be provided with the appropriate
number of bins for refuse and recyclables. The bins will be clearly labelled to encourage the
effective segregation of wastes.

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc Page 6 of 16Figure 3-2 - Example Waste Bin – Communal Areas including Kitchens
3.3.5. Kitchen areas will be provided with bins for refuse and recyclables like those suggested for
communal areas (Figure 3-2), and in addition will be provided with caddies for food waste.
3.3.6. An example of a suitable food waste caddy is shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 - Example Food Waste Caddy1
3.3.7. It should be noted that the actual numbers of bins provided within student bedrooms, communal
areas and kitchens will be based on the frequency that the bins are emptied and the overall interior
design of the Proposed Development.
3.3.8. Students will be encouraged to manage the waste generated within their bedrooms and to transport
it directly to the main student waste store at ground floor level via the passenger lifts. The students
will be required to place their refuse and recycling into the appropriately labelled bins.
3.3.9. Communal areas, including kitchens, will be managed by the on-site Facilities Management (FM)
team who will remove each of the waste streams and transport them directly to the main student
waste store at ground floor level via the passenger lifts. The on-site FM team will place the refuse,
recycling and food waste into the appropriately labelled bins.

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc Page 7 of 163.3.10. The main student waste store will be the location that all waste generated within the student areas
will be stored prior to collection.
3.3.11. It is proposed that a commercial waste contractor will be appointed by Unite or their managing
agent, and that waste collections would be made from the Proposed Development on a three times
per week basis.
3.3.12. Based on the weekly waste volumes detailed in Table 3-5, Table 3-6 summarises the number and
types of bins that will be provided within the main student waste store.
Table 3-6 - Estimated Bin Requirements (Three Times per Week Collection)

Dry Mixed Recyclables 2,933 1,100 litre Eurobin 3
Glass 3,933 360 litre wheeled bin 9
Food Waste 1,467 240 litre wheeled bin 7
* Based on three collections per week.
3.3.13. It should be noted that during periods where the students are either moving into, or out of their
accommodation, there is likely to be an increase in waste generation levels for a short period of
time. During these periods, the additional waste volumes will be managed by increasing waste
collection frequencies as required.
3.3.14. Table 3-6 summarises the dimensions of the proposed bins.
Table 3-7 - Bin Dimensions

360 litre wheeled bin 660 880 1,100
240 litre wheeled bin 585 740 1,100
3.3.15. The main student waste store will be located at ground floor level and will contain the number and
types of bins summarised in Table 3-6.
3.3.16. The location of the main student waste store is shown in Figure 3-4.

Source: Make drawing 1808-MAK-PA2000 Rev No. 00
3.3.17. The main student waste store shall be designed to the criteria outlined in British Standard
BS5906:2005 Waste management in buildings – Code of practice, including the provision of suitable
drainage, lighting, ventilation and water point.
3.3.18. On the agreed collection days, the appointed commercial waste contractor will enter the service yard
area and will park in close proximity to the main student waste store and will collect the bins directly
from the store.
3.3.19. It should be noted that as the service yard is shared with Travis Perkins. To ensure that the waste
collections from the student accommodation do not conflict with the day-to-day operations of the
Travis Perkins site, all waste collections will be scheduled to take place outside of the opening hours
of Travis Perkins.
3.3.20. The appointed waste management contractor will park their Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV)
adjacent to the main student waste store as shown in Figure 3-5.

3.3.21. Once the bins have been emptied, the waste management contractor will return them to the main
student waste store.
3.4 BULKY WASTE COLLECTIONS
3.4.1. It is not proposed to provide a dedicated bulky waste store to service the student accommodation
areas within the Proposed Development for the following reasons:
¡ The development is fully managed by a dedicated FM team who will manage any large items of
waste generated.
¡ The student accommodation is provided fully furnished. Any replacement of furniture or white
goods will generally be managed by the FM team as part of a wider asset replacement
programme, and removal of waste items from site shall be considered as part of the wider
replacement project. NOTE: These projects are likely to generate large volumes of waste that
could not be effectively managed through an on-site bulky waste store.
¡ Should items of furniture or a white goods item need replacing outside of the normal replacement
programme, the on-site FM team will be responsible for arranging collection and disposal either
using the supplier’s take back scheme or a suitably licensed waste contractor.
BALTIC WHARF PUBLIC | WSP

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc Page 10 of 163.4.2. Should an item of bulky waste arise unexpectedly, the FM team will take responsibility for arranging
suitable collection and disposal. If there is a delay in collecting the bulky item, the item will be
temporarily stored in the main student waste store (Figure 3-4).

4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1. This section outlines the plan which will be adopted to manage the waste arising within the Travis
Perkins element of the Proposed Development once operational.
4.2 TRAVIS PERKINS CORPORATE WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
4.2.1. Travis Perkins have adopted a detailed waste management strategy entitled Waste Management
Guide (hereafter referred to as ‘the Guide’) which provides detailed descriptions of how each
Builders’ Merchants should manage their waste to minimise environmental impacts.
4.2.2. A copy of the Guide is provided in Appendix C.
4.2.3. The strategy encourages each business to set up a recycling zone to promote the segregation of
waste at source.
4.2.4. The Guide provides guidance on:
¡ Which materials can be back hauled to their local Distribution Centre (DC);
¡ What happens to the separated materials;
¡ Waste documentation that businesses need to retain; and
¡ How to handle the waste in a safe manner.
4.2.5. Based on the Guide, Table 4-1 summarises the disposal methods for each of the materials that are
generated at a Travis Perkins Builders’ Merchants.

* Collected by a licensed waste contractor directly from the Builders’ Merchants.
4.2.6. Based on the summary of the Guide detailed in Table 4-1, it is clear that the majority of the
operational waste arising from day-to-day operations will either be back hauled to the DC where it
will be sorted and sent to a suitable recycling company or collected in general waste and DMR bins
on-site which will be collected directly from the Builders’ Merchants by a licensed waste contractor.
4.2.7. The remaining waste types will be managed as described in the Guide.
BALTIC WHARF PUBLIC | WSP
Project No.: 70082659 | Our Ref No.: 003 June 2021
Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc Page 13 of 164.3 PROPOSED WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
4.3.1. Based on the Guide, it is proposed that a Recycling Zone will be provided for the materials that will
be ultimately back hauled to the DC. The Recycling Zone will be constructed from pallet collars (a
pallet with a base and four sides) and will be located within the warehouse.
4.3.2. An example of a recycling zone is provided in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 - Example Recycling Zone
4.3.3. The general waste and DMR will be stored in 1,100 litre Eurobins. Travis Perkins have confirmed
that the current Builders’ Merchants is provided with the bins detailed in Table 4-2 which are
collected on a three times per week basis.
Table 4-2 – General Waste & DMR Storage

4.3.4. Travis Perkins have confirmed that the new Builders’ Merchants provided as part of the Proposed
Development will require the same quantity of bins.
4.3.5. The bins will be stored within the warehouse as shown in Figure 4-2.

Source: Make drawing 1808-MAK-PA2000 Rev No. 00
4.3.6. The bins containing general waste and DMR will be collected by Travis Perkins appointed waste
management contractor, who will park their RCV in the service yard, and will collect the bin directly
from the waste storage area.
4.3.7. The remaining waste types that are either returned to suppliers, included in take back schemes or
disposed of via a special collection arranged via the Travis Perkins Facilities Solutions Centre (refer
to Table 4-1) are anticipated to arise on an infrequent basis.
4.3.8. It is therefore proposed that when these materials arise, the site management team will follow the
disposal requirements within the Guide and will store the materials for a short time within the
warehouse until collected by the appointed waste contractor/supplier. It is not proposed to provide
designated storage areas for these materials.

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc Page 15 of 165 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
5.1 STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
5.1.1. It has been assumed that the waste generated within the student accommodation will be classified
as commercial waste and will be collected by a commercial waste management contractor
appointed by Unite or the on-site FM team on three times per week basis.
5.1.2. Each bedroom will be provided with suitable waste bins to allow the students to segregate their
refuse and mixed recyclables.
5.1.3. The communal areas will be provided with suitable waste bins to allow the student to segregate their
refuse and mixed recyclables. In addition, the kitchens will be provided with a caddy for food waste.
5.1.4. The students will be encouraged to transport the waste from their bedrooms directly to the main
student waste store at ground floor level where they will be required to segregate it into the
appropriately labelled bins.
5.1.5. Wastes generated within communal areas will be transported to the main student waste store by the
on-site FM team.
5.1.6. On collection days, the appointed commercial waste management contractor will park their RCV in
the service yard and will collect the relevant bins from the main student waste store.
5.1.7. A bulky waste store will not be provided to service the student accommodation areas within the
development.
5.2 TRAVIS PERKINS
5.2.1. The waste generated by Travis Perkins will be managed as outlined in Waste Management Guide
(‘the Guide’).
5.2.2. The majority of waste will be either back hauled to the DC for processing, bulking and recycling or
collected on site as general waste and DMR.
5.2.3. For materials that returned to suppliers or a take back scheme or disposed of via a special collection
arrange via the Travis Perkins Facilities Solutions Centre (refer to Table 4-1), these are unlikely to
arise on a regular basis and therefore it is proposed that the sites management team will follow the
procedures within the Guide and will store the materials for a short period within the warehouse.
5.3 CONCLUSION
5.3.1. This Waste Management Strategy has taken into account the need to lessen the overall impact of
waste generation through minimisation, reuse and recycling of materials from the operational phase.
5.3.2. The Proposed Development meets the requirements of relevant waste policy and follows applicable

WASTE POLICY AND GUIDANCE
PublicNational Waste Policy National Planning Policy Framework (2019)2 The National Planning Policy Framework, published in 2012 and updated in February 2019, sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. The following extracts are of relevance to the Proposed Development: “2. Achieving sustainable development … 8. Achieving sustainable development means that the planning system has three overarching objectives, which are interdependent and need to be pursued in mutually supportive ways (so that opportunities can be taken to secure net gains across each of the different objectives): … c) an environmental objective – to contribute to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; including making effective use of land, helping to improve biodiversity, using natural resources prudently, minimising waste and pollution, and mitigating and adapting to climate change, including moving to a low carbon economy.” National Planning Policy for Waste (2014)3 The National Planning Policy for Waste replaced Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for Sustainable Waste Management (PPS 10) and is to be considered alongside other national planning policy for England - such as Our Waste, Our Resources: A Strategy for England. The Policy includes the following which is of relevance to the Proposed Development: ‘8. When determining planning applications for non-waste development, local planning authorities should, to the extent appropriate to their responsibilities, ensure that: ¡ new, non-waste development makes sufficient provision for waste management and promotes good design to secure the integration of waste management facilities with the rest of the development and, in less developed areas, with the local landscape.’ 2 Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) (2019) National Planning Policy Framework https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/779764/NPPF_Feb_2019_web.pdf 3 MHCLG (2014) National Planning Policy for Waste https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/364759/141015_National_Planning_Policy_for_Waste.pdf BALTIC WHARF WSP Project No.: 70082659 | Our Ref No.: 003 June 2021 Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc
Our Waste, Our Resources: A Strategy for England (2018)4 The strategy sets out how England will preserve the stock of material resources by minimising waste, promoting resource efficiency and moving towards a circular economy. At the same time, the country will minimise the damage caused to the natural environment by reducing and managing waste safely and carefully, and by tackling waste crime. It combines actions the country will take now, with firm commitments for the coming years and gives a clear longer-term policy direction in line with the 25 Year Environment Plan. This is the blueprint for eliminating avoidable plastic waste over the lifetime of the 25 Year Plan, doubling resource productivity, and eliminating avoidable waste of all kinds by 2050. Waste Hierarchy The Waste Hierarchy requires avoidance of waste in the first instance followed by reducing the volume that requires disposal after it has been generated. It gives an order of preference for waste management options to minimise the volume for disposal, as shown in Figure A1.1. Figure A1.1: The Waste Hierarchy The main principles of the Waste Hierarchy are: ¡ Waste should be prevented or reduced at source as far as possible; ¡ Where waste cannot be prevented, waste materials or products should be reused directly or refurbished and then reused; 4 Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) (2018) Our Waste, Our Resources: A Strategy for England https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765914/resources-waste-strategy-dec- 2018.pdf BALTIC WHARF WSP Project No.: 70082659 | Our Ref No.: 003 June 2021 Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc
¡ Waste materials should be recycled or reprocessed into a form that allows them to be reclaimed
as a secondary raw material;
¡ Where useful secondary materials cannot be reclaimed, the energy content of the waste should
be recovered and used as a substitute for non-renewable energy resources; and
¡ Only if waste cannot be prevented, reclaimed or recovered, should it be disposed of into the
environment and this should only be undertaken in a controlled manner.
The Waste Hierarchy has been implemented in England and Wales by the Waste (England and
Wales) Regulations 2011. These regulations require that an establishment or undertaking that
imports, produces, collects, transports, recovers or disposes of waste must take reasonable steps to
apply the Waste Hierarchy when waste is transferred or disposed of.
A Green Future: Our 25 Year Plan to Improve the Environment (2018)5
The 25 Year Environment Plan sets out government action to help the natural world regain and
retain good health. Its aim is to deliver cleaner air and water in cities and rural landscapes, protect
threatened species and provide richer wildlife habitats. It calls for an approach to agriculture,
forestry, land use and fishing that puts the environment first.
With regard to waste management, the plan details aims that include:
· Zero avoidable plastic waste by 2042;
· Reduce food waste; and
· Improving the management of residual waste.
London Waste Policy & Guidance
The London Plan (March 2021)6
The London Plan is legally part of each of London’s Local Planning Authorities’ Development Plan
and must be taken into account when planning decisions are taken in any part of Greater London.
Planning applications should be determined in accordance with it, unless there are sound planning
reasons (other material considerations) which indicate otherwise. All Development Plan Documents
and Neighbourhood Plans have to be ‘in general conformity’ with the London Plan.

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plcA. Resource conservation, waste reduction, increases in material reuse and recycling, and
reductions in waste going for disposal will be achieved by the Mayor, waste planning
authorities and industry working in collaboration to:
1) promote a more circular economy that improves resource efficiency and innovation to
keep products and materials at their highest use for as long as possible
2) encourage waste minimisation and waste prevention through the reuse of materials and
using fewer resources in the production and distribution of products
3) ensure that there is zero biodegradable or recyclable waste to landfill by 2026
4) meet or exceed the municipal waste recycling target of 65 per cent by 2030
5) meet or exceed the targets for each of the following waste and material streams:
a) construction and demolition – 95 per cent reuse/recycling/recovery
b) excavation – 95 per cent beneficial use
6) design developments with adequate, flexible, and easily accessible storage space and
collection systems that support, as a minimum, the separate collection of dry recyclables
(at least card, paper, mixed plastics, metals, glass) and food.
B. Referable applications should promote circular economy outcomes and aim to be net zero-
waste. A Circular Economy Statement should be submitted, to demonstrate:
1) how all materials arising from demolition and remediation works will be reused and/or
recycled
2) how the proposal’s design and construction will reduce material demands and enable
building materials, components and products to be disassembled and reused at the end
of their useful life
3) opportunities for managing as much waste as possible on site
4) adequate and easily accessible storage space and collection systems to support
recycling and reuse
5) how much waste the proposal is expected to generate, and how and where the waste will
be managed in accordance with the waste hierarchy
6) how performance will be monitored and reported.’

Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plcLondon Environment Strategy (2018)7
The Mayor, with the new London Environment Strategy, aims to make London a zero-waste city. By
2026, no biodegradable or recyclable waste will be sent to landfill and by 2030, 65% of London’s
municipal waste will be recycled.
With regards to waste management within the Proposed Development, the following extracts are of
relevance:
‘To help them achieve the recycling targets, waste authorities should deliver the following minimum
level of service for household recycling:
¡ all properties with kerbside recycling collections to receive a separate weekly food waste
collection
¡ all properties to receive a collection of, at a minimum, the six main dry recycling materials, i.e.
glass, cans, paper, card, plastic bottles and mixed rigid plastics (tubs, pots and trays)
Proposal 7.2.1.c The Mayor will support efforts to increase recycling rates in flats
The Mayor will encourage Resource London to provide more support and funding to those waste
authorities that are working towards achieving higher recycling performance in flats. Through
LWARB, the Mayor will seek additional funding to tackle recycling performance in flats. The London
Plan requires that all new developments referred to the Mayor include adequate recycling storage
for at least the six main dry recyclable materials and food.
Waste authorities, through the planning application process, should apply the waste management
planning advice for flats, including the domestic rented sector, developed by LWARB in partnership
with the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNET).’

The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) policies and maps were adopted in 2007. Parts of it were
subsequently saved by the Secretary of State in 2010 and some others were replaced by
Westminster's City Plan (2016).
The following saved policy is of relevance to the Site:
‘POLICY ENV 12: WASTE AND RECYCLING STORAGE
(A) All developments must include provision for the storage of waste. Applicants may be
required to produce a waste management plan for the proposed development.

provision must be made for at least four days’ output of waste 2) in areas where City Council
waste collections are daily, provision must be made for at least two days’ output of waste.
(B) Space should be provided that is sufficient for equipment and containers to enable the
processing and sorting of recyclable materials and other waste. Such storage facilities should
be encased and screened from view from the street, visibly demarcated, and located so as to
be convenient for users and waste and recycling collectors. Storage should be designed so
that waste and recyclable materials can be collected off-street.
(C) The City Council will seek to ensure continued provision of waste storage facilities
through appropriate conditions and will enforce against noncompliance.
(D) Provision must be made in residential developments for the separation of recyclable
materials by each household and for its continued separation at each stage in its transfer to
point of collection. At least half of the storage space should be for sorting recyclables.
(E) For extensions to commercial developments and other service uses the City Council will
seek opportunities for storage for waste and recyclable materials to be introduced and will
require off-street storage of additional waste that will be generated.
(F) Composting facilities will be required on appropriate sites.’
WCC, City Plan 2019-2040 (2021)9
WCC submitted the City Plan 2019-2040 to the Secretary of State on 19 November 2019.
Once the City Plan 2019-2040 has been adopted, it will be the Local Plan for Westminster and will
replace all current policies in Westminster’s City Plan (November 2016) and saved policies in the
Unitary Development Plan (2007). It will therefore become part of Westminster’s Development Plan
together with the London Plan and any made Neighbourhood Plans.
The following policies are of relevance to the management of operational waste at the Site:
‘7. Managing development for Westminster’s people
Development will be neighbourly by:
…
G. Making appropriate and effective waste management arrangements.’
‘38. Waste management
A. All new developments (including extensions and change of use) must provide appropriate
facilities for the storage of separate waste streams which are safe and convenient to access for
deposit and collection, with sufficient capacity for current and projected future use.

Major developments and developments that produce hazardous, medical and / or commercial catering waste are required to provide appropriate waste management facilities on-site.’ WCC, Municipal Waste Management Strategy 2016-2031 (2014)10 This strategy has been developed to provide a framework for sustainable waste management in Westminster. The strategy sets out how municipal waste will be managed between 2016 and 2031 and replaced WCC’s municipal waste management strategy 2004-2016. The strategy provides a set of aims and objectives and specific targets which will support achieving sustainable waste management. The strategy covers the WCC’s municipal collection and disposal arrangements for waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, treatment and disposal. It does not cover the specifics of street cleansing arrangements nor the operational detail concerning waste collection arrangements. It does not cover commercial or industrial waste collected by other organisations with Westminster. WCC, Recycling and Waste Storage Requirements (2021)11 WCC’s guidance provides detail on the required storage facilities for recycling and waste from the Site and has been referred to in the development of this SWMP. The Guidance states: ‘When a new development, extension of change of use is submitted for approval the scheme will be assessed to ensure that adequate storage facilities are provided for waste and recyclable material. This requirement should therefore be considered at the earliest stages of the design process and details included on drawings submitted to the Council when applying for planning permission.’ 10 WCC (2014) Municipal Waste Management Strategy 2016-2031 https://www.westminster.gov.uk/waste-strategy 11 WCC (2021) Recycling and Waste Storage Requirements https://www.westminster.gov.uk/media/document/recycling-and-waste-storage-requirementspdf BALTIC WHARF WSP Project No.: 70082659 | Our Ref No.: 003 June 2021 Unite Group plc and Travis Perkins plc

Hi Matthew,
Thanks. I can confirm that the six points below is a fair summary of our discussions and agreement. In principle, the
proposed waste management strategy would be acceptable if there is no material changes to the proposal.
Please note that the door of one of the route from the waste store leading to the waste collection area is a single
door that need to be double door to allow easy passage of the 1,100L bins.

Hi Saeed, thanks for your response and I have included point 6. below.
1. The use of the Unite Students waste metrics to calculate waste arisings.
12. The use of WCC’s residential waste apportionment (i.e. recyclable) to calculate the types and numbers of
bins to be provided.
3. The use of 1,100 litre Eurobins and 240 litre wheeled bins to store waste.
4. The assumption that waste will be collected three times per week.
5. That waste collections from the student accommodation would be separate from those from the Travis
Perkins store, and that the student accommodation waste collections would take place outside of the
opening hours of the Travis Perkins.
6. That waste collections will takes place off-street within the development
I trust that this is sufficient for you to sign of the principles of the waste management strategy.
Many thanks,
Matthew
