Extension to an Existing Recycling Building

Planning Support for Recycling Facility Expansion

Client: Waste Management and Recycling Company

Service Provided: Town Planning

Project Summary

Technia Environment and Planning Limited was appointed to support the extension of an existing recycling building for a waste management company facing spatial constraints due to continued business growth. The proposed development aimed to increase on-site capacity and operational efficiency, enabling the company to expand services while maintaining its zero-to-landfill performance.

Our Approach

We developed a clear planning strategy to support the proposed extension and ensure the application met all relevant policy and procedural requirements. Key steps included:

• Identifying and addressing site constraints related to access, traffic, and adjoining land ownership
• Preparing and submitting the planning application, including supporting documents and site layout plans
• Serving formal notices to adjoining landowners and posting the required site notice
• Engaging with the Local Planning Authority to respond to feedback and support a smooth determination process

Early identification of risks and proactive coordination helped streamline the process and reduce the potential for delay.

Outcome

The planning application was approved, enabling the client to proceed with the building extension and accommodate continued growth. The development supports increased operational capacity while maintaining the company’s commitment to zero-to-landfill recycling.
