  • The long term aims of the Plan are to provide and/or facilitate sustainable management of waste for Central and Eastern Berkshire in accordance with all of the following principles:
    1. Demonstrate how waste will be managed at the highest achievable level within the waste hierarchy;
    2. Locate near to the sources of waste, or markets for its use;
    3. Maximise opportunities to share infrastructure at appropriate existing mineral or waste sites;
    4. Deliver and/or facilitate the identified waste management capacity requirements (Policy W3);
    5. Be compliant with the spatial strategy for waste development (Policy W4).
    6. Where W1 (5) cannot be achieved, work with other waste planning authorities to provide the most sustainable option for waste management.
