RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 7 4. Design Approach GEDA Construction will liaise with their designated project designers and architects to ensure that the design for off-site construction, materials optimisation and flexibility in deconstruction is considered throughout the residential development. Some design and construction phase consideration for waste management are detailed in the table below: 4.1 Design Decisions Type of waste decision Waste Minimisation Decision Taken By Whom Intended Results Design Identify opportunities to influence design to eliminate waste e.g. off- site construction GEDA Construction and Project Designers Waste Prevention Construction Methods Reuse excavated soils for landscaping later in the project subject to testing. GEDA Construction Site team Reduced waste from landfill and reduced need for virgin material Construction Methods Consider Article 27 and Article 28 options to encourage minimisation of excavation waste through off-site reuse. GEDA Construction Environmental and Site Managers Reduce waste generation for non-hazardous material suitable for direct reuse Construction Methods Appoint waste contractor to maximise off site recycling and recovery of construction material GEDA Construction Buyer/QS Maximise recycling rates throughout construction minimising waste to landfill disposal. Construction Methods Implement on site segregation of waste materials to increase recycling quality GEDA Construction Site Team Increased diversion rates from landfill and increasing quality of recyclable material Materials Implement sustainable procurement policy to maximise use of responsibly sourced products and materials GEDA Construction Buyers Maximise use of responsible and sustainably sourced materials through accredited schemes. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 8 Materials Allocate area for reuse materials to be stored GEDA Construction Site Manager Promote the reuse of materials across all work packages reducing unnecessary waste Construction Methods Allocate safe and secure storage area for products and materials GEDA Construction Site Manager Reduce damage to materials through misuse and / or adverse weather conditions Project Nature Achieve a waste diversion from landfill disposal of target of 95% GEDA Construction Site Team Reduce waste to landfill disposal One of the main types of C&D wastes generated from construction sites is soil and stone removed from site excavations. GEDA’s Design Team will consider this element at the outset with a view to preventing generation of this stream in so far as possible. The following will be considered as part of this process: 1. Balance cut and fill on site to minimise the import and export of materials (topsoil) for site works and facilitate the use of excavated materials on site. 2. Revise site layout and levels to minimise excavation work, i.e. use the existing topography where possible to minimise the need for excavation. 3. Utilise split level design on sloping sites. 4. Reuse excavated materials on site where possible, e.g. landscape fill, planting features. 5. Set aside good quality and high value materials from existing hard and soft landscaping for reuse. There are two mechanisms within the European Union (Waste Directive) Regulations 2011–2020 that allow for the classification of these resources outside of the waste regime that is relevant to planned excavation as follows: • Article 27 allows for the notification of a material as a by-product rather than a waste where certain criteria can be demonstrated by the legal person (i.e. further use is certain, no need for further processing, produced as part of a process and further use is lawful). The benefit of classifying a material as a by-product and not as a ‘waste’ negates the handling requirements of waste legislation while also providing significant economic and environmental benefits in line with circular economy principles. • Article 28 sets out the grounds by which a material, which is recovered or recycled from waste, can be deemed to be no longer a waste and complies with a set of end -of-waste criteria (substance/ object to be used for specific purposes, a market or demand e xists, fulfils technical requirements and no overall adverse impact to human health or the environment) RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 9 5.

RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 11 6. Site Management 6.1 Summary of Environmental Risks & Actions (Impacts & Aspects) An environmental risk assessment (impacts & aspects register) has been completed for this project within the CEMP document. The assessment records all environmental risks and scores them using a traffic light system. Those coloured in red are considered “Significant” with immediate action required. Those coloured yellow are considered a medium risk while those scored green are considered low risk. Summary for waste elements from the register can be found below: NO ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ACTION/COMMENT 3 Waste Management Waste Pollution including hazardous wastes Low Resource waste management plan will be implemented. Site team will consider direct re-use on site and Article-27 By Product Notification to encourage material re-use off-site. 4 Contaminated Land Waste Pollution including illegal disposal Medium Further chemical testing is required to confirm contaminated land. As it is a greenfield site, it is likely that soil will be uncontaminated and can be considered for reuse on/off site. 6.2 Demolition and Site Preparation There are no demolition requirements on the proposed scheme, as the site is greenfield in nature. The topographical survey entitled “T01396-04-19”, conducted on 16/04/19 by Benchmarking Surveying, indicates the site slopes from the northwest to the southeast, at an elevation of between 87.00 & 66.00 metres AOD. A significant cut and fill exercise will need to be conducted during site preparations to allow the project team to achieve suitable levels for development. This should mean that surplus material will be restricted due to reuse requirements, reducing total waste generation on the scheme. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 12 6.3 Waste Hierarchy As per EPA guidance, GEDA Construction will apply the waste hierarchy principles (Figure 3) during residential works on Tully scheme, with the most preferred options being prevention and reuse/recycling and the least preferred being that of sending waste to landfill. Contractors and suppliers will be encouraged to minimise the amount of waste and follow the waste hierarchy, through training methods outlined in section 8.0 below. Figure 3- Waste Hierarchy Principle GEDA Construction are aware that waste from Construction and Demolition (C&D) activities is the largest EU waste stream and represents one third of all waste produced within the EU. GEDA Construction will therefore apply the waste hierarchy principles above to promote the reuse of products and preparing for reuse activities, so that a transition from a linear to a circular construction economy can be achieved. The Circular economy is restorative in nature, and it aims to maintain the utility of products, components and materials for as long as possible while also retaining their value. This concept can be seen further in Figure 4 below: RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 13 Figure 4- Linear VS Circular Economy Principle 6.4 Duty of Care Compliance Section 32 of the Waste Management Act 1996, as amended, places the responsibility on the original waste producer, or waste holder, to transfer waste only to an appropriate person; an appropriate person in this instance being a Local Authority and/or a person with a valid Waste Collection Permit. It is an offence under Section 32 (1) of the WMA 1996 to cause or facilitate the abandonment, dumping or unauthorised management of waste, or to hold, transport, recover or dispose of waste, or treat waste, in a manner that causes or is likely to cause environmental pollution. An Approved Waste Contractors List has been developed to ensure that waste management is coherently managed in accordance with Section 32 of the Waste Management Act 1996: RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 14 6.5 Approved Waste Contractors List Waste Management Contractor Name Waste Collection Permit / Waste Carrier Licence No Issue Date Expiry Date Waste Transfer Notes Storage Location TBC TBC TBC TBC Geda Online SharePoint TBC TBC TBC TBC GEDA Online SharePoint GEDA Construction will audit licensed waste management contractors to ensure we comply with applicable legislation and receive regular up to date and accurate waste management reports. This ensures compliance with the W aste Management (Collection Permit) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 and Waste Management (Facility Permit and Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2019. Each approved waste contractor must provide copies of their waste collection and facility permits before waste transfer. GEDA Project teams complete waste spot checks on approved waste contractors and detail evidence with CD134 “Waste Spot Check” documents (Appendix 2). 6.6 Declaration Statement The Client and Principal contractor will take reasonable steps to ensure waste duty of care is complied with, materials are handled efficiently, and waste is managed appropriately.

Site Infrastructure 7.1 Site Location and Site Plan The proposed Tully Residential scheme is situated in the townland of Tully, approximately 0.5 kilometers southeast of Monaghan town centre, covers an area of circa. 2.1 hectares and is currently utilized for grazing sheep / cattle. It is encircled by native species hedges on its northern, eastern and western sides, while the southern boundary is marked by timber fences and walls. Several housing estates bound the site. Manor Wood to the north, Glenview Drive to the east and Tully Estate to the south. Beyond the western boundary is grazing lands. Figure 5- Proposed Site Plan Provision will be made, within site boundaries, for the temporary off-street accommodation of building materials, vehicles and temporary offices. Vehicle parking facilities are provided on site during the construction phases of the development, and provision for a defined Contractor’s compound has been put in place to close off the area. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 APPENDIX 1- RESOURCE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 16 7.2 Site Waste Facilities Within the designated site compound area, Waste Storage Areas (WSA) will be demarked with signage and will be organised and maintained to include the following: • Designated Waste Skips Area • Designated COSHH store • Designated Material Storage Container • Designated stockpile area for soils • Designated stockpile area for stones/aggregates 7.3 Resources GEDA Construction have developed and implemented a Sustainability Procurement Policy to increase the level of responsible and sustainably sourced materials being purchased by the Company. This includes reused and recycled materials. We actively encourage local companies within the Monaghan Town area to compete for work. The Company is currently implementing procedures to ensure we can provide Monaghan County Council with “Chain of Custody” documentation for sustainability schemes such as FSC for Timber. We work closely with our Buyers, Quantity Surveyors and Site Teams to reduce the amount of over ordering within the Company. We ensure suitable storage provisions for all materials to reduce damage caused through weather or misuse. The Site Plan w ill highlight the location for material storage on site. 8. Management, Training and Review 8.1 Training & Induction Project specific environmental management training will be delivered at the site inductions using GEDA’s bespoke SHEQ induction video.
