Strategic Objective 5: Meeting our future needs
Comment
Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 639
Received: 04/04/2022
Respondent: Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust
SO5:
Reducing our future needs – ensuring that there is a mix of site types, sizes and locations to
help us manage waste sustainably wherever possible. Meet current and future targets for
reducing and recycling our waste. Safeguarding existing and/or potential future sites where
appropriate. Locate new waste facilities to support new residential, commercial and industrial
development across the plan area.
NWT consider that there is insufficient emphasis on the need to reduce waste production and
thus reduce the need for future facilities in this SO.
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.
