  10. Decided18/P/0497/NMA

    Non material amendment to 15/P/00763 - we propose to change the design of the general waste bin enclosure. The original application allowed for a galvanised metal structure with green roof on a concrete slab base. We now propose to install a grey recycled plastic H frame enclosure manufactured by metrolSTOR. The former galvanised metal structure proposed was found to be a H & S hazard as the height of the roof is too low. Details are also included for the separate recycling enclosure as the Waste Department requested racking detail to ensure both the black boxes and cardboard bags had a formal storage location
