Safeguarded wharves These are sites that have been safeguarded for cargo handling uses such as intraport or transhipment movements and freight-related purposes. A list of those sites that are currently protected and those proposed for protection is available in ‘Safeguarded Wharves on the River Thames’, Greater London Authority, 2003. Secondary materials See recycled materials. Secondary materials economy Term for the chain of economic activity based on recycled materials being used more cheaply than primary production/excavation. Separate Collection Recycling collection schemes from businesses where materials collected for recycling are kept apart. This avoids the need to mechanically sort materials at a Materials Reclamation Facility and sustains material quality. Self-sufficiency See Regional Self-sufficiency Soil Improver This product is ideal for improving all soil types, for mulching and also for planting trees and shrubs. The naturally fertile formula is rich in nutrients and organic matter, improving soil structure for better drainage and root establishment. Spatial Development Strategy This strategy is prepared by the Mayor, replacing the strategic planning guidance for London (RPG3). The Mayor has chosen to call the Spatial Development Strategy the London Plan. Small business Business with less than 50 employees. Businesses with less than five employees are sometimes called micro businesses. Statutory Recycling Targets All London boroughs have been set statutory targets by the government for the recycling of household waste. Statutory targets for recycling and composting were set for local authorities in England for 2003/04, 2005/06 and have been set for 2007/08. Adding together the results for Best Value Indicators 82(a) (recycling) and 82(b) (composting) measure performance against these targets. Sustainable Development Development that is sustainable is that which can meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable Waste Management Means using material resources productively, to cut down on the amount of waste we produce. And where waste is generated, dealing with it in a way that actively contributes to the economic, social and environmental goals of sustainable development.

Treatment Involves the chemical or biological processing of certain types of waste for the purposes of rendering them harmless, reducing volumes before landfilling, or recycling certain wastes. Waste The strict legal definition of waste is extremely complex but it encompasses most unwanted material which has fallen out of the commercial cycle or chain of utility, which the holder discards, or intends to, or is required to discard. Waste Arising The amount of waste generated in a given locality over a given period of time. Waste Authorities The authority responsible for arranging for the collection and/or disposal of waste in their area. In London, all London boroughs (33) are responsible for waste collection. Twelve boroughs act as unitary authorities, responsible for both waste collection and disposal. The remaining 21 London boroughs carry out their disposal functions through four Statutory Joint Waste Disposal Authorities created by the Waste Regulation and Disposal (Authorities) Order 1985. Waste Disposal This is defined by the list of operations that constitute disposal (for under Part III of Schedule 4 of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations). This includes landfill, land raising, incineration, permanent storage etc. Waste Hierarchy sets out the priority for waste management options, based on their environmental impact. In making waste management decisions, the waste heirarchy should be applied in sequence from the top down. Waste Management Industry The businesses in the public, private and third sector involved in the collection, management and disposal of waste. Waste Management License (operated and enforced by the Environment Agency) authorises the treatment, keeping or disposal of waste. These are separate but complimentary to the Land Use Planning System. Waste neutral where the value of materials wasted is matched by the value of additional reused and recycled content materials bought World city A globally successful business location measured on a wide range of indicators such as financial services, government, business, higher education, culture and tourism. London is paralleled only by New York and Tokyo
