Waste Issues and Options
Question 1
Representation ID: 367
Received: 20/04/2020
Respondent: Graeme Foster
Gedling Borough Council would strongly support this option, which is in line with Government policy as set out in the NPPF requiring a 15-year plan period from adoption. The end date dove tails nicely with the end date for the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan, which covers the period 2018 – 2038.

Question 2

Respondent: Graeme Foster
The overview is accurate and concise. An indication of the scale of future population and housing growth would be useful context as these factors are likely to lead to more waste. A reference to the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan now in preparation would be useful, which also has a plan period of 2038. This plan will set out the amount and distribution of new development to 2038 and has been produced jointly by Greater Nottingham Councils and both Waste Planning Authorities are partners to this joint working.

The Councils’ data on waste arising is likely to be fairly accurate and Gedling Borough cannot offer any additional information. A minor point is that the unit of measurement should be included in figure 4 i.e. tonnes.

GBC officers do not at present have the technical knowledge to advise on which it considers to be the best scenarios and considers that the two Waste Authorities are in the best position to judge once they have the specialist input from relevant experts in the waste field. There will be a further opportunity to comment at the draft Waste Plan stage based on the evidence available at that time.

Question 10
Representation ID: 376

Respondent: Graeme Foster
Yes, it is crucial that opportunities are available to utilise this potential resource of energy recovery from waste. New developments should be encouraged through more effective enabling policies and proposals in the new Waste Local Plan with complimentary policies in the next round of Local Plans.
Yes, it is crucial that opportunities are available to utilise this potential resource. The potential capacity of 750,000 tonnes set out in the consultation document is noted and opportunities for district heating schemes for existing and new developments should be encouraged through more effective enabling policies and proposals in the new Waste Local Plan with complimentary policies in the next round of Local Plans. This support is conditional on the two Waste Planning Authorities being satisfied that the policy approach would lead to a reduction in carbon emissions overall arising from a reduction in the use of fossil fuels to heat homes and businesses more than offsetting any emissions from the incineration of waste.
