Policy WLP20

Outside the Preferred Areas for engineered landfill set out in Policy WLP11 applications for engineered landfill may be acceptable where the proposal forms part of a planning application for mineral extraction outside the Preferred Areas in the Replacement Minerals Local Plan and which is acceptable under the terms of that Plan, or of subsequent amendments or revisions thereof, provided that:

  • the landfilling of waste is appropriate and necessary to achieve satisfactory restoration of the mineral extraction site;
  • the site satisfies all of the technical requirements for engineered landfill and the proposed infilling forms part of a comprehensive scheme of restoration;
  • the resulting final landform, landscape and after use are sympathetic to and compatible with the land uses, landscape and nature conservation interests of the surrounding area; and
  • the proposals overcome or accommodate all constraints deriving from the considerations set out in Policies WLP27 and WLP29 to WLP33, and satisfy the requirements of Policies WLP14 and WLP15 and all other relevant policies of the Plan.
