The guidance intends to help developers produce successful waste management strategies at an early stage. It has been developed by the waste services team in consultation with colleagues in Planning and Highways. A review of best practice in other local authorities has also informed the process.
Please note we are currently in process of updating the guidance which will include updated dimensions of electric refuse collection vehicles which will be in use from October 2026.
Please contact WastePlanning@bathnes.gov.uk if you need the new vehicle dimensions for swept path analysis.
