We generate Materials Management Plans, the vital tool that enables developers to bypass the need for an Environment Agency environmental permit or exemption from waste management licensing regulations. By implementing this plan, we support our clients in avoiding often time-consuming and cumbersome process of applying for these permits or exemptions.
At Curtins, we adhere to the CL:Aire Development Industry Code of Practice, which defines a materials management plan. This plan empowers developers to reuse both natural soils and made-ground, whether contaminated or otherwise. The benefits are twofold: significant cost savings and a more sustainable approach that reduces traffic movement.
With a number of people in our team registered as a CL:Aire qualified person, we are able to act as independent assessors of Materials Management Plans to comply with the requirements of the Environment Agency.
