5: Safeguarding of Sites

Land and sites where there are existing waste management facilities; land and sites where planning permission exists but not yet implemented; or land and sites on which planning permission is subsequently granted for waste management facilities will be safeguarded to contribute to a strategic network of waste management provision within the county.

The Waste Planning Authority will oppose development proposals which are likely to prevent or prejudice the use of land identified or safeguarded for waste management purposes unless alternative or enhanced provision is made for a facility dealing with the equivalent waste capacity or where it can be demonstrated that the need for those facilities can no longer be justified.
