Waste Issues and Options
Question 11
Representation ID: 377
Received: 20/04/2020
Respondent: Graeme Foster
Gedling Borough Council does not consider there is a suitable site in Gedling Borough for landfill disposal. Our experience of household waste disposal at the former Dorket Dead landfill is that such sites need to be a suitable distance away from existing and planned residential areas. Any site selected would need to be designed, managed and operated to the highest possible standards.

In general, GBC would agree to the broad locations for larger facilities being focused in and around Greater Nottingham and Mansfield/Ashfield as these locations are where the majority of waste is generated. In general, employment sites of a general industrial nature may be suitable depending on the type of waste facility proposed and its compatibility with other employment uses on these sites and any nearby surrounding residential uses.

A criteria based policy should be sufficient for most waste facilities and it is accepted that forecasting the amount/type of land/facility required would be very difficult. There is also a potential concern that allocation could potentially sterilised otherwise developable sites and it is preferable to judge each case on merit against the criteria based policy.
Employment sites of a general industrial nature may be suitable for most waste facilities provided they are compatible with the nature of the employment site; and would not cause a significant adverse impact on the amenity of nearby residents and occupiers.

Employment sites of a general industrial nature may be suitable for most waste facilities such as recycling or waste transfer. GBC’s Policy approach (LPD 44) for proposals to be located on employment land is to permit B1,2 and 8 uses and sui generis uses of a similar nature or is an employment use that is compatible with the nature of the employment site. The policy also includes the following important criteria:
“the proposal would not cause a significant adverse impact on the amenity of nearby residents and occupiers”;
GBC would recommend the two Waste Planning Authorities to include a similar principle relating to proposals being essentially compatible with the nature of the employment site and to include a criterion to protect local amenity as part of their criteria based policy.

The list looks comprehensive. We would suggest adding local amenity as a potential issue.
