Respondent: Walkeringham Parish Council

Walkeringham Parish Council would like to make the following general comments in relations to the draft Local Plan:

The Parish Council agrees with the aspirations of the draft plan and hope that these can be fulfilled. The Parish Council also hopes that NCC could gain unification with the rest of the country. We would, for example, like to see more glass recycling in Bassetlaw. We felt, however that there was a lack of detail in places, including cost analysis and concrete solutions. Hopefully, the plan will be developed and we look forward to viewing the next stage of the plan.

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.
