Cheshire Replacement Waste Local Plan
The adopted
Cheshire Waste Disposal Local Plan dates from 1987 and consists
of a written statement and for maps. The maps (and written
statement) can be accessed from the
Download Documents section of the Cheshire web site.
Policies now need to be reviewed and where necessary, replaced. As
part of this process, Cheshire County Council has concluded its
consultation on the Re-deposit Draft of the Replacement Waste Local
Plan for Cheshire.
The Replacement Waste Local Plan will
help Cheshire County to make decisions on planning
applications for waste management facilities by:
- Highlighting aims and priorities
- Setting the criteria that planning applications must meet
- Identifying sites that might be suitable for managing
waste
The Plan’s priorities are:
- Balancing the need for new waste management facilities
with the protection and enhancement of Cheshire’s environment and
quality of life.
- Enabling an increase in the number of facilities in
Cheshire which recycle and re-use waste.
- Encouraging the use of the most up to date waste
management technologies.
- Reducing the need for landfill.
