When do I need to submit a waste audit?
Waste audits should be submitted with all major planning applications and it is desirable to submit them with Minor development, though it is voluntary.
Waste Audit required is required for major developments (10 or more dwellings, over 1000m2 or 0.5ha other development), but not for minor developments (less than 10 dwellings, under 1000m2 or 0.5ha other development).
