Guidance for developers

Design requirements for residential properties - recycling and waste management

Somerset Waste Partnership, which manages household waste and recycling services on behalf of the local authorities in Somerset, has produced guidance for developers to help "plan in" design requirements for recycling and waste separation and collection in Somerset homes.

Failure to do so can lead to poor services for future residents and could result in objections to planning applications.
