Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 759
Received: 30/03/2022
Respondent: Mansfield District Council
Vision and strategic objectives: The council supports the plan’s vision which seeks to ensure less waste is produced by re-using resources in a circular economy with disposal being the last resort. Ensuring there is capacity over the plan period within appropriately located waste management facilities is important and the council supports the approach to locate larger facilities towards Mansfield (as well as Nottingham and Ashfield) as the largest town in the county. This will ensure waste is processed close to where it is produced and keep transportation to a minimum, as well as providing local jobs.
The council is encouraged to see the emphasis on protecting and enhancing the environment and adapting to climate change within the vision and strategic objectives.
Thank you for consulting Mansfield District Council on the above document which when adopted will provide the planning policy framework against which all proposals for new waste development will be assessed.
