CD& E Waste arisings
4. The national guidance for forecasting CD&E arisings is mentioned in paragraph 5.30. However, we
note that PGG says that Local Plans should identify need for new waste management facilities which
should include reference to waste arisings (PPG 28‐022), and imports and exports. Moreover, this
also includes forecasting amounts of waste to be managed at the end of the plan period (PPG 28‐
028), and that although local authorities should start from the basis of net arisings remaining
constant over time, they should also take into account annual returns from waste management
facilities (PGG28‐033) as well as major infrastructure projects and regeneration initiatives. The WDI
data shows, as the plan admits, deposits of inert waste between 670,000 tonnes and 530,000
tonnes in the last five years alone, most of which are local arisings. This does not suggest that the
levels of arisings will be constant. In fact, they vary radically due to a number of factors, most
commonly the levels of construction in the area, and the availability of voidspace. This variability in arisings and deposited waste is also occurring when CL:AIRE is available to developers to recategorise material as non‐waste and remediate material on‐site.
Representation on behalf of Mick George Ltd to the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Draft Waste Local Plan.
See Representations.
These representations are submitted by Mick George Ltd (MGL), which is one of the largest waste
and aggregates companies in the East of England and in the East Midlands. This representation is
designed to support the promotion of Dorket Head as an inert landfill site and to make more general
comments about the strategy proposed to be adopted in the Waste Local Plan. The company has
been unable to participate in the local Plan process before now as it has only recently acquired the
rights to develop the site.
