Local plan - waste
The North London Waste Development Plan Document (DPD)
In June 2007, as part of its new Local Development Framework, Barnet published its updated Local Development Scheme (LDS).
A Local Development Framework document for waste is a strategic priority. The LDS sets out the council’s commitment to working with partners on the North London Waste Authority, comprising seven member boroughs, in producing the North London Waste Plan. It also sets out the agreed timetable for the plan.
The North London Waste Plan will formally be a Development Plan Document (DPD) and will therefore be subject to rigorous procedures of community involvement, consultation and independent examination. Once adopted, development control decisions must be made in accordance with the DPDs unless material considerations indicate otherwise. DPDs are also subject to a sustainability appraisal to ensure economic, environmental and social effects of the plan are in line with sustainable development targets.
Consultation
The Development Plan Document will undergo three stages of consultation
- Issues and Options
- Prefered Options
- Submission and adoption
Issues and Options is the first formal consultation stage in the preparation of the North London Waste Plan. Consultation on the Issues and Options report will run for six weeks from 23 January 2008 until 4 March 2008.
The report and supporting technical documents, including a summary of new waste technologies, will be available at North London Waste Plan, Hendon Town Hall, and at local libraries. Alternatively, if you would like a paper copy of the report please contact Forward Planning, see contact details opposite.
In order to coordinate representations across the seven boroughs, all responses and comments should be made using the form at the back of the North London Waste Plan Issues and Options report and be sent by email to feedback@nlwp.net or in writing to Archie Onslow at Camden Town Hall, Argyle Street, London WC1H 8EQ and must be returned by Tuesday 4 March 2008.
Consultation Workshop
As part of the programme of consultation a workshop will be held in each of the boroughs in January and February of 2008 It is anticipated that these will be attended by key stakeholders, members of the public and by representatives of local authorities and the North London Waste Authority.
The workshop to be held in Barnet will take place from 6.30 to 8.30pm on 12 February 2008 at North London Business Park, Oakleigh Road South, London, N11 1NP.
