Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan Document
Agreement has been reached across the Greater Manchester
sub-region to prepare the document. The proposed Joint Waste
Development Plan Document (JWDPD) is Greater Manchester’s preferred
approach to implementing the principles of sustainable waste
management for all waste streams. 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. 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.
Work commenced on its production in September 2006 and will be
completed by June 2010. Initial consultation work was
undertaken during Autumn 2006 through a series of stakeholder
events. Consultation on Issues and Options (Stage 1) was carried
out between May and June 2007. Stage 2 of the Issues and Options
consultation is planned for January 2008. Further information
