Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 133
Received: 05/09/2017
Respondent: West Midlands Resource Technical Advisory Body (RTAB)
The EDNA has assessed the need for land for employment purposes. It is noted that the waste sector is identified as one that has experienced significant employment growth, but it is not clear what specific allowance has been made for waste management related uses in the assessment of need. RTAB would expect that the proposed Waste Study should identify the broad requirement for land for waste management uses, including any additional provision required to provide flexibility and support the growth and development of the waste sector of the economy.
