CSTP30 – REGIONAL WASTE APPORTIONMENT

Strategic Approach to London’s Imports

Thurrock will only make provision for London’s waste imports equivalent to the following cumulative tonnages across the Plan period (from2009/2010) of 1,885,000 tonnes.

Thurrock will not allocate or grant planning permission for new landfill capacity to accommodate London’s waste arisings where the above capacity requirements have been met.

Provision for new non-landfill waste facilities will only be made for waste not included within the above apportionment where a facility has a clear benefit to the region, such as the provision of specialist processing or treatment which would not be viable without a wider catchment and which would enable recovery of more locally generated wastes and contribute to meeting the capacity requirements set out in CSTP29.

Proposals for facilities to manage waste imported into Thurrock will be assessed primarily against the requirements of this policy, Policy CSTP29 and policies provided in the MWDPD.

Key Diagrams and Maps

Sites will be identified in the Adopted Minerals and Waste DPD and identified on the Proposals Map.
