Overview and Summary

Coverage of the subject is wanting. In many important respects, the proposals are lacking appropriate detail and justification. Data sources seem dated.

The justification for the proposals, and their effectiveness, in questionable. There is no detailed indication of what waste management facilities are needed and when. The appropriateness of the spatial strategy is uncertain.

Unjustified selection of an Area of Search in the Green Belt seems to be contrary to Government policy.

Inadequate guidance is available to providers of waste management facilities on what is needed and what is likely to be approved, where and when.
