Representation Summary:

Policy has some commitment to move up the waste hierarchy.
Should include policies on biogenic waste, use of anaerobic digestion and new sources of energy generation. Will biogenic resources arising in Borough be treated by composting or AD? Modular treatment should be used to reduce capacity over time. Use of waste energy facility in Coventry conflicts with proximity principle in Para. 350. Plan not mention separate food waste collection from 2023 – this will require local treatment facilities within the Borough.

Change suggested by respondent:

Should include policies on biogenic waste, use of anaerobic digestion and new sources of energy generation.
