Respondent: Worcestershire County Council

Waste
We welcome the inclusion of policies relating to ensuring sufficient waste management capacity, particularly policy W1, which includes in part (c) support for proposals where they ensure that “sufficient capacity is located within the Black Country to accommodate the waste capacity requirements during the plan period and reducing the reliance on other authority areas” (emphasis added).
Worcestershire County Council welcomes the recognition that 2% of waste imported into the Black Country is from Worcestershire and welcomes further Duty to Cooperate discussions related to cross-boundary movements of waste.
