Circular Economy Statements
A Circular Economy is defined in London Plan 2021 Policy SI 7 as “Reducing waste and supporting the Circular Economy’ as one where materials are retained in use at their highest value for as long as possible and are then reused or recycled, leaving a minimum of residual waste.”
London Plan 2021 Policy D3 ‘Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach’, and SI 7 ‘Reducing waste and supporting the Circular Economy’ describe the underlying policy objectives.
“Circular Economy is a new economic model that moves away from this current linear economy, where materials are mined, manufactured, used and thrown away, to a more circular economy where resources are kept in use and their value is retained."
For buildings, this means creating a regenerative built environment that prioritises retention and refurbishment over demolition and rebuilding. It means designing buildings that can be adapted, reconstructed and deconstructed to extend their life and that allow components and materials to be salvaged for reuse or recycling.”
We provide Circular Economy statements for planning applications. Contact us to discuss your project.
We engage with the Design Team, provide guidance and support during the process of agreeing how the particular project will approach the Circular Economy requirements.
