Litter and Graffiti

12.28 A great deal of work is carried out in the District to secure the improvement of the environment. Unfortunately, the impact of these improvements is often reduced through the actions of a minority, who continue to drop litter, fly tip and add graffiti to buildings and structures. Research has shown that if litter is not cleared away graffiti can become a problem, minor damage would then be followed by criminal damage, anti-social behaviour, theft, burglary, street robberies and even worse. The Council is committed to eradicating these problems. The control of litter and fly tipping rests with Environmental Health, under the Environmental Protection Act (1990). However, indirectly, planning controls can also play an important role in reducing the impact of litter. Where appropriate, development will be conditioned to include measures to collect and store litter prior to disposal or recycling and take account of design solutions that avoid litter accumulation. Specific controls over the environmental problems of hot food takeaways, such as litter, can be found in Section 6, Policy S 15 ‘Hot Food Takeaways’.
