Waste Issues and Options

Q5
As stated in NPPF - "plans should positively seek opportunities to meet the development needs
of their area, and be sufficiently flexible to adapt to rapid change". The WLP should plan for significant growth in the economy ( population and housing ) over the plan period. Predicting the level of growth is difficult, exacerbated in the short and potentially medium term
by impacts of coronavirus. Scenario C or D considered the most appropriate to ensure flexibility to react to economic / social / political and technological changes, allowing the industry to provide facilities in the right place to meet demand.

Q10
The NPPF seeks to help increase the use and supply of renewable and low carbon energy and heat. It is an important part of the waste management hierarchy and should be appropriately planned for over the period to support the Governments drive towards a low carbon economy and the diversion of waste from landfill. The capacity to recover energy and heat from waste streams that can not be recycled should be supported and appropriately planned for. Capacity previously permitted may not come forward so should be balanced against future provision.

Q15
Support a balanced approach. Site specific allocations can provide some certainty but may prevent alternative more suitable sites coming forward over the plan period exacerbated if allocated sites become unavailable or prove unsuitable. On balance, assessing sites on their merits as they are brought forward by the industry, based upon the Broad
Locations, should provide the greatest flexibility and allow the plan to deliver the facilities needed through the plan period.

Q13
Generally agree that the objectives are appropriate. NPPF requires that "plans contain policies that are clearly written and unambiguous, so it is evident how a decision maker should react to development proposals" Objective 4 - it is considered that greater
clarity should be provided in respect to 'addressing local health concerns' to indicate the circumstances in which this is required,ensuring that decision making is focused upon acceptable use of land, avoiding duplication of processes or emissions where these are subject to separate pollution control regimes.
