ESA Webinar | Future-Proofing Waste: Policy, Planning, and Best Practice

November 19 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Topics covered in the webinar include: –

  • Biodiversity Net Gain – Nick White; Principal Advisor, Natural England –
  • Planning implications of simpler recycling – James Stewart Irvine, Planning Manager, Biffa –
  • Impacts of residential encroachment on the waste sector – Stephen Freeland, Policy Advisor ESA –
  • Practical steps on mitigating odour, dust or noise – Alison Cook, SLR Consulting

A year on since Biodiversity Net Gain became a mandatory requirement of the planning system we’ll learn more about how the market is developing for buying and selling biodiversity units.

The webinar will also explore the planning implications of the Government’s simpler recycling agenda as infrastructure and services are rolled out to handle an ever wider and changing composition of waste.

Residential encroachment remains a potential threat to the efficient operation of our waste facilities and we’ll hear more on the ESA’s recommendations contained within our research report. We’ll also find out about the practical steps that can be taken on mitigating potential amenity impacts such as odour, dust or noise.

With significant reforms in the offing in the Planning Bill and English devolution, this webinar is a must-attend for developers, local authorities and industry representatives, providing essential insights and best practices on waste planning.
