Pre- Submission Draft Waste Local Plan

Representation ID: 911

Received: 08/10/2023

Respondent: Susan Edwards

Representation Summary:

I agree with these objectives. The need to limit greenhouse gas emissions and avoid damage to air quality, water, biodiversity or soil should be at the forefront of decisions as to how to handle waste. All methods of waste management should be analysed for all these factors and should be handled in a way as to lessen any negative consequences. Waste hierarchies need to be looked at in all aspects of these negative effects and ranked in the correct order dependant upon all current information.
