Pre- Submission Draft Waste Local Plan

Representation ID: 913

Received: 08/10/2023

Respondent: Susan Edwards

Representation Summary:

It is essential to make sure that waste facilities are available to manage waste efficiently and as high up the waste hierarchy as possible in all cases and to make sure there is no overcapacity in areas of waste disposal that are at a lower level in the waste hierarchy. . Provision of too much capacity at lower levels in the waste hierarchy will mean that there is no incentive to use an alternative, more environmentally friendly form of waste treatment. We have too much incineration capacity in the pipeline and this needs to be addressed as an urgent priority.
