• sustainable procurement measures to minimise the generation of waste during the construction process, including avoidance of over-ordering and reduced use of hazardous materials;
• the types and quantities of waste that will be generated during the demolition and construction phases and the measures to ensure that the waste is managed in accordance with the waste hierarchy including:

1. the segregation of waste materials to enable their separate reuse, recycling or recovery;
2. the recycling of construction, demolition and excavation waste for use on site or, where not possible at the nearest suitable facility; and
3. minimising any waste materials that are unsuitable for reuse, recycling or recovery, confirmation of the location for their disposal.

• the types and quantities of waste that will be generated during the operational phase of the development and measures to ensure that the waste is managed in accordance with the waste hierarchy including:
