The guide aims to help practitioners to access information relevant to their needs and role in the design process. Key design principles and key actions relating to specific topics, together with illustrations and photographs of local case studies, are provided throughout the document. Sources of further information are identified to enable users to undertake more detailed research.
The focus is on the key decision-making steps in the development of waste facilities and how design issues should be considered, from the selection of sites through to the final design stages and post-development issues.
