Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 636
Received: 04/04/2022
Respondent: Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust
Vision
Then vision should start by referencing less use of materials, rather than starting at “re-use”.
It is fundamental that we secure a step change in reducing consumption, if ambitious targets to
reduce waste are to be met. If we are to address the climate emergency, as agreed by all the
Notts LAs, then we should be consuming and transporting less, the Vision does not
currently reflect this.
Thank you for consulting the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust (NWT) on the above. I apologise
for using this format of response, but the OPUS format is not straightforward to use for
responses to multiple sections and the insertion or highlighting of text. I have used bold italics
to suggest insertions of text and italics for your original text.
Overall NWT supports the principles of the Plan and we welcome the clear reiteration of the
need to move waste management urgently up the waste hierarchy. We would hope, however,
to see a stronger aim for further waste reduction and the obligation for each Local
Authority to secure ambitious waste reductions across all their work and areas of
influence.
