Wandsworth Reuse, Recycling and Waste Consultation 2025

Overview

Wandsworth Council is consulting on its draft Reuse, Recycling and Waste Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). 

The guidance in the draft SPD provides borough-wide information 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 version of the draft SPD being consulted on would replace the existing Refuse and Recyclables in developments SPD (2014), to reflect changes to legislation and policy context.
