Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan Document

Stop Press - Stage Two Issues and Options Report has been issued for consultation for a six week period from Monday 6th October to Friday 14th November 2008. It will take into account the feedback received through the Stage One Issues and Options consultation. For more information please visit the Joint Waste Development Plan Website 

Under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 the ten unitary authorities in Greater Manchester have agreed to produce a joint waste development plan document (JWDPD) for Greater Manchester. The Greater Manchester Authorities consider that this arrangement offers the most potential for efficient and effective joint working in the production of the waste development plan document.

The JWDPD will include detailed development control policies and the identification of sites and preferred areas for a range of waste management facilities required up until 2020. The plan will form an integral part of each authorities' Local Development Frameworks.

A planning team located within the Greater Manchester Geological Unit are responsible for all aspects of plan production and consultation, with assistance from the Greater Manchester authorities as necessary.

Development of the JWDPD commenced in September 2006. Initial consultation work was undertaken during autumn 2006 through a series of stakeholder events. Due to the depth and breadth of issues identified through these events, it was decided that a two stage approach should be adopted for the preparation of Issues and Options for the JWDPD.

The Stage One Issues and Options Report was issued for consultation between the 14th May and 22nd June 2007.

The Stage Two Issues and Options Report has now been issued for consultation. It will take into account the feedback received through the Stage One Issues and Options consultation and focuses on the following topic areas:

• Need for waste management facilities.
• Types of facilities required.
• Sites
