Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Waste Local Plan
Waste Local Plans set out locations for future waste
management facilities and detailed planning policies that will
apply to new planning applications for waste
development.
When Peterborough City Council became a unitary authority on 1
April 1998, it decided to prepare a joint Waste Local Plan with
Cambridgeshire County Council for the combined administrative areas
of the two authorities.
The
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Waste Local Plan was
adopted on 22 October 2003. It is part of the "old"
Statutory Development Plan for Peterborough.
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced a new system of development plan making. This
new system does not include Waste Local Plans and their policies
will gradually be phased out.
Many of the policies in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
Waste Local Plan 2003 expired on 27, September 2007. However some
have been "saved" by the Secretary of State and will continue
to be in force.
Saved (non-expired) policies will provide guidance in
preparing the Local Development Framework (part of the new system
of development plan making).
Since waste planning policies continue to evolve rapidly
and the Cambridgeshire Aggregates Local Plan 1991 is many years out
of date, Peterborough City Council has agreed to
prepare new combined Minerals and
Waste Development Plan Documents jointly with
Cambridgeshire County Council. This will form part
of the Local
Development Framework.
