The construction of a waste facility can be at least as complex as the design stages that preceded it. The degree of complexity depends on the type of facility being developed. However, it is important to acknowledge that when a development moves from the design stage to construction the main aim is to realise the proposed development within a pre-determined time frame and to an agreed cost. It may be argued that this shift in emphasis can dumb down the influence of design, but the original objectives should be delivered in the completed facility.
All elements of design detail will need to be resolved at the construction stage. These changes should be minor in the context of the overall development. Any significant changes may require amendments to the planning permission. It would be prudent to liaise closely with the local planning authority if design changes are required.
