Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan document
Status / Progress
Development of the Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development
Plan Document (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 during May/June 2007. A report on the outcomes of this
process was published in November 2007.
The Stage 2 Issues and Options Report will be issued for
consultation for 6 weeks between Monday 6 October - Friday
14 November. For more information regarding this
consultation please use the link below:
Role of Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan
document
Under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act
2004 the ten unitary authorities in Greater Manchester have agreed
to produce a
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 is responsible for all aspects of plan production and
consultation, with assistance from the Greater Manchester
authorities as necessary.
