Planning policy consultations
The Planning service undertakes regular consultation on the development of its Local Plan and related policy documents.
Reuse, Recycling and Waste SPD consultation
The Reuse, Recycling and Waste SPD was made available for public consultation for a period of six weeks from 11 March to 8 Apr 2025. Following the consultation on the draft SPD, we considered all responses to the consultation in producing the final version.
This SPD provides borough-wide guidance on the provision, design and location of refuse and recycling storage in residential, commercial and mixed-use developments. It supports the waste and recycling policies set out in the Wandsworth Local Plan (July 2023). The adopted SPD replaces the existing Refuse and Recyclables in developments SPD (2014) to reflect changes to legislation and policy context.
