Changes to bin collection days over Christmas and New Year

There will be no garden waste collections between 29 December and 9 January.

Sustainability statement/information

You should show how you'll follow sustainable design and construction practice for any project. This includes refurbishment and extensions.

For major developments, provide this information in an energy statement and a sustainability statement.

Applications for non-major development (including householder developments) must include sustainability information proportionate to the size of the development, and adequate information to show how the energy and carbon requirements have been met. A completed Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and Energy Questionnaire can be submitted to cover this.

You can find out more information in the Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and Energy SPD 2024 which provides guidance on relevant policies in our Local Plan: Strategy and sites 2019 and our Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023 (together they are referred to as the Local Plan.
