Waste management development considerations
WMRTAB supports the development considerations set out in Policies W2, W3 & W4 in relation to employment areas, minimising harm to human health and the environment, and other impacts of waste management proposals such as on surrounding buildings, resources and constraints on development. WMRTAB suggest additional clarity could be provided regarding the acceptability of proposals in terms of their impact on road networks.

In particular, WMRTAB supports the approach set out in Policy W2 of protecting existing waste facilities from other development which may impact on their operation. This is an important consideration, especially in an area where there is a need to find suitable land to alleviate other development pressures.
