SWMP threshold lifted to £300k

Thanks to those who have pointed out that DEFRA has raised the planned threshold for construction Site Waste Management Plans from £250k to £300k.

Yesterday's inaugural Low Carbon Agenda newsletter contained the previous figure. I had checked the threshold on the Government's NetRegs website as I assumed that, as it is meant to be the guide to legislation for industry, it would be up to date. Silly me.

Apologies...

Legislation Alert! Construction

Most in the construction industry will be aware that Site Waste Management Plans are expected to become compulsory for projects >£250k in April of this year. If you're in this industry, you should be getting yourself in gear NOW for the new regime.

I came across this useful guide to developing SWMPs today. I haven't tried the accompanying quiz, but I'm sure it will give some a shock!
