Waste Management Plan (Site Waste Management Plan)

Illustrative image — not the actual project design.

Liongate Construction Consultancy has been appointed to prepare a Site Waste Management Plan for a new detached one-bedroom home that will replace an existing garage on a residential plot in Guildford. Work is underway.

Our appointment

The scheme replaces an existing garage with a new detached one-bedroom home. Guildford Borough Council granted planning permission for the development in November 2025, before our appointment; that permission is not our work. One of its conditions requires a Site Waste Management Plan to be approved before any development starts, including demolition, groundworks and construction of the access.

Because the garage comes down first, waste is generated from the very start of the works. The plan follows the DEFRA non-statutory guidance for site waste management plans and aims to keep construction, demolition and excavation waste to the minimum necessary, reusing material on site first and recycling it second.

It will also set out on-site facilities for storing, reusing and recycling waste, sized to suit a small residential scheme and kept in place for the duration of the build, with the plan kept up to date as the works progress.

Liongate was appointed in October 2026. Our work on the plan is underway; it has not yet been submitted to or approved by the council.
