GlossaryArea of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) – area with a statutory national landscape designation,the primary purpose of which is to conserve and enhance natural beauty.
Area of search - a broad geographic area within which a site, on which a waste management facilitycould be developed, could be found which is more likely to be acceptable than a site which isidentified outside of the area.
Built waste facilities - There are waste management facilities that treat or transfer (bulk up) wasterather than landfill it. Treatment includes recycling or other recovery, the most common kinds ofbuilt waste facilities involve Materials Recovery (screening and sorting), stockpiling materials,Anaerobic Digestion, Mechanical Biological Treatment or Energy Recovery Facilities. The size andscale, and therefore the appearance, of buildings housing waste management facilities variesdepending on the type of facility and the quantity of waste being managed.
Call for Sites - where a council or authority asks for landowners, developers or any other interestedparties to submit a site to be considered for inclusion in a Local Plan.
Commercial and Industrial waste (C&I) - waste produced by business and commerce, and includeswaste from restaurants, offices, retail and wholesale businesses, and manufacturing industries.
Composting – the breaking down of organic matter aerobically (in presence of oxygen) into a stablematerial that can be used as a fertiliser or soil conditioner.
Construction, Demolition and Excavation waste (CDEW) - Waste arising from the constructionand demolition of buildings and infrastructure. Materials arising in each of the three streams (i.e.Construction; Demolition; Excavation) are substantially different: construction waste being composedof mixed non inert materials e.g. timber off cuts, plasterboard, metal banding, plastic packaging;demolition waste being primarily hard materials with some non inert content e.g. bricks, mortar,reinforced concrete; and excavation waste being almost solely soft inert material e.g. soil andstones.
Energy recovery – covers a number of established and emerging technologies, though most energyrecovery is through incineration technologies. Many wastes are combustible, with relatively highcalorific values – this energy can be recovered through processes such as incineration with electricitygeneration, gasification or pyrolysis.
Greenfield site – site previously unaffected by built development.
Groundwater - water held in water-bearing rocks, in pores and fissures underground.
Hazardous waste - waste that may be hazardous to humans and that requires specific and separateprovision for dealing with it.
In-vessel Composting - is a form of composting biodegradable waste that occurs in enclosedcontainers. These generally consist of metal tanks or concrete bunkers in which air flow andtemperature can be controlled.
Incineration – burning of waste at high temperatures under controlled conditions. This results ina reduction bulk and may involve energy reclamation. Produces a burnt residue or 'bottom ash'whilst the chemical treatment of emissions from the burning of the waste produces smaller amountsof 'fly ash'.

Local Development Scheme – the programme for the preparation of a planning authority'sDevelopment Plan Documents.
Localism Act - Received Royal Assent on 15 November 2011. The Act shifts power from centralgovernment back into the hands of individuals, communities and councils. The Act proposes changesto the planning system.
Marine aggregates – aggregates sourced by dredging from the sea bed.
Marine borne material - minerals imported by sea from other areas.
Mineral Consultation Areas - areas of potential mineral resource where district and boroughplanning authorities should notify the County Council if applications for development come forward.This should prevent mineral resource being lost ('sterilised').
Mineral Safeguarding Areas - areas of known mineral resource that are of sufficient economic orconservation value (such as building stones) to warrant protection for the future.
Mineral Local Plan (1999) – a statutory development plan that includes saved policies in relationto minerals within the minerals planning authority (unitary or county council).
Minerals Planning Authority – the planning authority responsible for planning control of mineralsdevelopment.
Mitigation measures – actions to prevent, avoid, or minimise the actual or potential adverse affectsof a development, plan, or policy.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) - See entry for 'Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW)'.
Options Assessment - A number of options will be developed, i.e. Different combination of shortlisted sites that results in the required capacity. This assessment is an assessment of each option.
Non-inert waste - Waste that is potentially biodegradable or may undergo any significant physical,chemical or biological change when deposited at a landfill site. Sometimes referred to as'non-hazardous waste'.
Plan Area - The geographical area covered by this Plan.
Primary aggregates – naturally-occurring mineral deposits that are used for the first time.
Recovery - obtain value from wastes through one of the following means recycling, composting orenergy recovery.
Recycled aggregates - are derived from reprocessing waste arisings from construction and demolitionactivities (concrete, bricks, tiles), highway maintenance (asphalt planings), excavation and utilityoperations. Examples include recycled concrete from construction and demolition waste material,spent rail ballast, and recycled asphalt.
Recycling - the processing of waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentiallyuseful resources. This activity can include the physical sorting of waste which involves separatingout certain materials from mixed waste.
Recovery - 'Recovery' refers to waste treatment processes such as anaerobic digestion, energyrecovery via direct combustion, gasification, pyrolysis or other technologies. These processes canrecover value from waste, for instance by recovering energy or compost, in addition they can reduce

the mass of the waste and stabilise it prior to disposal. The definition of recovery set out in the EUWaste Framework Directive applies which states: " ‘recovery’ means any operation the principalresult of which is waste serving a useful purpose by replacing other materials which would otherwisehave been used to fulfil a particular function, or waste being prepared to fulfil that function, inthe plant or in the wider economy."
Residual waste – refers to the material that remains after the process of waste treatment has takenplace, that cannot practicably be recycled, composted or recovered any further.
Restoration -methods by which the land is returned to a condition suitable for an agreed after-usefollowing the completion of waste or minerals operations.
Secondary aggregates - recycled material that can be used in place of primary aggregates. Usuallya by-product of other industrial processes. Examples include blast furnace slag, steel slag,pulverised-fuel ash (PFA), incinerator bottom ash, furnace bottom ash, recycled glass, slateaggregate, china clay sand, colliery spoil.
Sewage sludge - the semi-solid or liquid residue removed during the treatment of waste water.
Sites Plan - See Waste and Minerals Sites Plan.
Statutory consultee - Organisations with which the local planning authority must consult with onthe preparation of plans or in determining a planning application. Include the Environment Agency,Natural England and English Heritage.
Sustainability Appraisal - a tool for appraising policies to ensure they reflect sustainabledevelopment objectives. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires a sustainabilityappraisal to be undertaken for all development plan documents.
Sustainable development – various definitions, but in its broadest sense it is about ensuringwell-being and quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come, by meeting socialand environmental as well as economic needs.
Transfer station - facility where waste is bulked up before being transported to another facilityfor further processing.
Waste and Minerals Local Plan (WMLP) – term used to describe the suite of Plan Documents andother items prepared by Waste and Minerals Planning Authorities, that outline the planning strategyfor waste and minerals for the local area.
Waste and Minerals Plan (WMP) - the plan that sets out the long-term spatial vision for the areaand the strategic policies to deliver that vision.
Waste and Minerals Sites Plan(WMSP) - the plan that details specific sites where waste and mineralsdevelopment is preferred.
Waste Collection Authority – district or unitary authority that has a duty to collect householdwaste.
Waste Disposal Authority – local county or unitary authority responsible for managing the wastecollected by the collection authorities, and the provision of household waste recycling centres.
Waste Planning Authority – county or unitary council planning authority responsible for planningcontrol of waste management facilities.
Waste Local Plan (2006) - a statutory document that includes saved land-use policies in relationto the allocation of land for the management and disposal of waste within the Plan Area.
Waste water - the water and solids from a community that flow to a sewage treatment plantoperated by a water company.

Appendix 2 Waste and Minerals Sites Plan – Consultation – Communications Strategy As part of the development and production of the Waste and Minerals Sites Plan, there are statutory requirements which form part of the “Regulation 18” consultation (e.g. making available on the website etc.). In addition to these, we will be seeking to ensure members of the public, businesses, other local authorities and key stakeholders are made fully aware of the consultation on the Sites Plan. We will be producing factsheets and FAQs, information papers and other documents to support the consultation and ensure that consultees are fully informed of what the Sites Plan is seeking to achieve and helping those concerned to understand what potential development may take place. Audiences and method for consultation are broadly as follows:
- Public = media, internet, engagement events, posters, FAQs - Businesses (around potential sites) = direct mail, media, internet, engagement events,
posters, FAQs - Waste contractors = as above (Businesses) - Media = media briefings, press releases, advertorials - Districts and Boroughs = briefings, engagement events - Members = briefings, intranet - Staff = intranet - Partners = project/board meetings - MPs = briefings
The key messages we will be making are:
- ESCC, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority welcomes input on the development of this Sites Plan;
- This consultation is about future planning of where additional sites might be located. It
does not affect existing waste and minerals operations.
- New sites need to be identified to help meet very high targets for recycling and recovery;
- Modern waste facilities need not necessarily be a “bad neighbour”;
- The Authorities are not identifying and new sites for landfill of waste;
- Sites have been identified by criteria which ensures that they are away from environmentally sensitive areas and areas of natural beauty;
184
- Sites identified in the Plan are under consideration and there are NO definite plans to use them for waste and minerals.
A member of the Communications Team from all 3 Authorities will be involved throughout the consultation exercise.
