Joint Waste DPD for East London

The Joint Waste Development Plan Document (DPD) for East London will set out a planning strategy for sustainable waste management that extends to 2020.
The four East London Waste Authority boroughs of Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge are preparing a Joint Waste DPD for East London. The purpose of the Joint Waste DPD is to enable the adequate provision of waste management facilities (including disposal) in appropriate locations for municipal, commercial and industrial, construction and demolition, and hazardous wastes.

Preferred Options

The Joint Waste DPD Preferred Options have been developed following consultation on the `Building the Evidence Base and Identifying Issues and Options' during Spring 2007. The Preferred Options document sets out the policy direction to govern waste development to 2020.

Formal consultation on the Preferred Options documents ran from 7th April 2008 to 19th May 2008. The Preferred Options Report was accompanied by a standard response form. All comments received within this consultation period will inform the preparation of the Joint Waste DPD Submission Version.

Sustainability Appraisal

We are carrying out a Sustainability Appraisal on all LDF documents, including the Joint Waste DPD. This will allow us to assess the possible impact that our policies might have on the environment and help the preparation of plans that will promote sustainable forms of development.

The Sustainability Appraisal for the Joint Waste DPD can be downloaded below:

Building the Evidence Base and Identifying Issues & Options -

The Issues and Options provides the evidence base for the development of the Joint Waste DPD for East London and includes potential options for how we might deal with the issues identified. Public consultation on the Issues and Options ran from 16th April 2007 to 4th June 2007. The following PDF documents were part of this consultation:

The Issues and Options Report on Consultation (PDF, 71.9mb - this document will take a while to download) summarises the representation received during the public consultation. Full copies of responses received are also included.

What happens next?

The comments received during consultation on the Preferred Options, together with further investigations and discussions with various stakeholders, will inform the development of the Joint Waste DPD Submission Version. Following submission to the Secretary of State another six week consultation will take place. The soundness of the document will then be tested at an Independent Examination after which the Inspector will publish a binding report..
