Policy SP6(2) should include the word ‘only’, replace ‘or’ with ‘and’ and add an explicit requirement to comply with SP2 to read: “Waste management proposals which are likely to treat, manage or dispose of waste from areas outside Nottinghamshire and Nottingham will only be permitted where they demonstrate that:
a) The proposal complies with policy SP2; and
b) The facility makes a significant contribution to the movement of waste up the waste hierarchy; and
c) There are no facilities or potential sites in more sustainable locations in relation to the anticipated source of the identified waste stream; and
d) There are wider social, economic or environmental sustainability benefits that clearly support the proposal.”

Policy SP6(2) is overly permissive and could result inappropriate development approved.
