Agenda item

The Executive received a report which set out the response to Surrey County Council’s consultation on the Surrey Draft Waste Local Plan 2018.

The Surrey Draft Waste Local Plan had implications for future waste management infrastructure within Surrey Heath.  Whilst there were no sites shortlisted for the delivery of waste management infrastructure within the Borough, objections were raised in respect of the Surrey Waste Local Plan making provisions for the possibility of waste related development to be located on established employment sites. The sites shortlisted for the delivery of waste management infrastructure were generally welcomed, but it was noted that appropriate measures would need to be taken to mitigate the potential impacts of two sites shortlisted that were close to the Borough’s Eastern border, due to the possible implications for air quality and transport.

Resolved to agree the response set out in the letter at Annex 1 of the agenda report as the Council’s formal response to Surrey County Council’s consultation on the Surrey Draft Waste Local Plan.
