Background

These seven West London Waste Planning Authorities have now commenced the review of the West London Waste Plan to ensure that it remains up to date and continues to provide a sound and effective planning strategy for waste management in accordance with national policy, the London Plan, and local priorities.
It is a statutory requirement to produce an up-to-date waste plan. Once adopted, the updated West London Waste Plan will replace the 2015version of the West London Waste Plan.It will set out the planning strategy for waste management in the plan area up to 2041 and will include policies to be used when assessing planning applications that relate to waste management. It also identifies sites proposed to be safeguarded for waste use.
