WSA2: Applications for Waste Management Development on Allocated Sites and Employment Land Areas of Search

The county council will grant planning permission for waste management facilities located on Allocated Sites and Employment Land Areas of Search identified on the inset maps, provided that the development is in accordance with:

  • the relevant policies contained in the Development Plan;

and proposals will be required to take into account;

  • any cumulative impacts arising from the proposed waste management use;
  • the Allocated Site specific requirements identified in the relevant waste site brief;
  • the planning requirements identified in the general Employment Land Area of Search waste site brief and the key planning issues listed on the relevant inset map;
  • any supporting document issued with guidance on bringing forward waste uses on Employment Land Areas of Search; and
  • the Environment Agency advice listed in Appendix B.

Developers should locate Local Authority Collected waste management facilities on Allocated Sites and Employment Land Areas of Search within the broad areas of search A, B, C, D and E unless there are overriding reasons to locate the development on sites outside of these areas of search. This does not apply to HWRCs unless there are opportunities to co-locate them with other types of facilities. The areas of search for Local Authority Collected waste are defined in Policy 1 of the Waste Core Strategy and Development Management Policies document.

The county council will grant planning permission for waste management uses located on sites outside of identified locations where they accord with Policy 7 of the Waste Core Strategy and Development Management Policies document.
