Waste Management Development Plan Document

Household Waste Recycling Centre, PepperhillOne of the key documents of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework is the Waste Sites Plan.

It will identify sites and locations for waste management facilities that reflect the principles of the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy.

The document is likely to:

  • identify suitable locations and allocate sites for all types of waste management development (such as recycling, composting, processing, treatment, and landfill)
  • address all waste streams, including hazardous wastes, and 
  • identify specific sites or alternative preferred areas.

Key dates

The development of the Waste Sites Development Plan Document will include community consultation and involvement events, where you have the opportunity to give us your views and help form the final document. We plan to carry out the publication, submission and subsequent stages jointly for both the waste and minerals site documents.

The waste document is likely to go through the following public consultation stages:

1. Issues stage: the industry Call for Sites was open between 24 May to 29 October 2010.

2. Options consultation: all proposals received during the Call for Sites stage were published for comment between 31 May and 09 August 2011. View the Waste Sites Options consultation:

2b. Supplementary Site Options consultation: late site submissions and significant amendments to sites from the previous Options consultation. Open for public consultation between 24 October and 19 December 2011. View the consultation

3. 'Preferred Options' consultation: live between 28 May and 23 July 2012. More information

4. Publication and pre-submission consultation: currently scheduled for September 2013.

The stages for the development of all minerals and waste documents are published in our updated Minerals and Waste Development Scheme.
