Revision to wording of condition 12

Pre Commencement Condition.

You must carry out a detailed reclamation audit and apply to us for approval of the audit including the following parts:

1.                                  The reclamation audit should identify any building materials and products presenting a high reuse potential. The audit should also list any other reusable building elements. The inventory should present as much information as possible on the dimensions, quantities, conditions, environmental impact, technical characteristics, disassembly Item No. 3 13 14 recommendations, etc of the materials and products identified. If an existing concrete frame is present a specialist should investigate the quality of the recycled concrete aggregates and their re-usability potential before full demolition is considered. If windows are present, they should be dismantled first and sent to glass recyclers for clear glass cullet production (minimising contamination).

2.                                  Based on the audit, the design team should demonstrate that any new-built project is designed incorporating at least 20% by material mass/volume for the whole building to derive from re-used or recycled content.

3.                                  For any materials that are not re-used on-site, but identified as having re-use potential, the design team should advertise the availability of these potentially reusable materials to reclamation professionals (such as the Excess Material Exchange platform led by Enfield Council, Globchain or RE:London) and other interested parties who will contribute to the effective circulation of the elements. Meeting minutes from attending a 'Circular Economy surgery' or workshop with such platforms will be sufficient.

4.                                  All proposals, including retrofit of existing building elements, should prioritise sustainable material procurement, sourcing products with high recycled content or construction materials with a circular business model (take-back schemes etc).

You must not start any demolition works until we have approved what you have sent us. You must then carry out the works according to these details.

Alexander Lewis, representing Tribeca Holdings, addressed the Sub-Committee in support of the application.

Alan Coleman, representing Tyler Parkes, addressed the Sub-Committee in objection to the application.

Michael Phillips addressed the Sub-Committee in objection to the application.
