WLWP 3 Location of Waste Development
Waste development proposals on existing waste management sites and the sites listed in Table 5-2 will generally be supported, provided that the proposals comply with the development plan for the area.
Waste development on other sites will be supported in principle if the proposals comply with the other WLWP policies and the Boroughs’ and the OPDC’s adopted development plans, and:
- It can be demonstrated that the development cannot be delivered at any available and suitable existing waste management site within the Borough or OPDC area where the development is proposed and at the sites listed in Tables 5-1 and 5-2; and
- In the case of facilities proposed for the management of MSW and C&I waste, identified sites in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 have not come forward and it can be demonstrated that there will be a shortfall in the waste management capacity required to meet the Boroughs’ joint apportionment target as specified in Policy WLWP 1; and
- There is no adverse cumulative effect, when taken together with existing waste management facilities, on the well-being of the local community, including any significant adverse impacts against the WLWP sustainability objectives (see Appendix 1); and
- The proposed site meets the criteria set out in the subsequent WLWP Policies if applicable.
