−	Whilst not related to the CDM regulations, the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations place additional obligations on the client (other than domestic clients) and the principal contractor for any construction project with an estimated cost of more than £300,000. This involves ensuring that a site waste management plan is in place before construction begins, ensuring that it is updated and enforced, keeping records of waste handling and reconciling this against the plan within three months of completion. See site waste management plan for further information.
−
−	NB the 2007 CDM Regulations are due to be substantially revised. These revisions will seek to simplify and rationalise the regulations, integrating them better with EU legislation, and tackling small-scale construction sites that have lagged behind larger sites in terms of health and safety. The revisions may also see the role of CDM Co-ordinator transferred to a Principal Designer and the Principal Contractor. However, the consultation process has been delayed and the programme for change is now unclear.
