In this week’s blog, we look at the RICS Insight Paper Network Rail Policy for Letting Waste Sites: Sharing Knowledge to Support Professionals (March 2022).
The paper was authored by Mark McKay MRICS, Senior Development Surveyor at Network Rail and Consultant to Property Elite. The paper relates to all waste management property, except for landfill sites.
Mark commented that:
As part of the RICS championing sustainable practices across the built environment, I have devised a set of ‘best practice’ guidelines based on Network Rail’s experiences of letting and managing waste or similar type sites. The guidelines provide a two-fold approach to recent case law that places additional onus on landlords and landowners to monitor tenants’ activities on site in accordance with the terms of the lease and is a risk management tool to minimise any additional liabilities a landlord or landowner may face should a tenant face operational difficulties. It ensures that land and any contamination are managed appropriately and the guidelines have the full support from the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and Environment Agency (EA).
