North London Waste Plan (NLWP)

Update: Work to start on a new north London waste plan

Work on developing a new waste plan for north London is now scheduled to start in 2013 after a planning inspector ruled the existing document was unsuitable. The new waste plan will be drawn up by Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest Councils. It will set out how much waste the seven boroughs need to process, explain how planning applications for waste facilities in the boroughs will be decided, and identify enough sites for waste management.

For more information please visit the North London Waste Plan website (external link).

To formally end the examination of the old NLWP the boroughs have now asked the Inspector to write his report which will recommend that the plan is not adopted and to start on a new version of the plan. This will formally call a halt to the old plan and enable work to start on the new plan.

We will take the information we gathered in producing the original plan and use that as the basis for the new version, while taking into account the comments made by the planning inspector, so the work we’ve done to date will not be wasted. The boroughs will be writing to partners to tell them about the new plan and how they can get involved.
