Medway’s Waste Management vision is aspirational but non-operational. It repeats the Waste Hierarchy without quantified arisings, capacity gaps, or a spatial strategy for new/expanded facilities. There are no measurable targets, site allocations, or safeguards for existing sites/wharves, and no clear decision criteria (enclosure, odour/noise/dust control, HGV routing, buffers). Construction and demolition waste is largely ignored (no pre-demolition audits, circular design, or reuse targets). Developer contributions lack thresholds/calculators, and monitoring/review triggers are absent. As drafted, it cannot guide decisions or secure investment—failing justification, effectiveness, and consistency tests.
