East London Joint Waste Plan review
We are now updating the East London Joint Waste Plan. The new East London Joint Waste Plan (JWP) is being prepared by the East London boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge.
It is a statutory requirement to produce an up-to-date waste plan. The most recent East London Joint Waste Plan was adopted in 2012, and set out a planning strategy for waste until 2021. The emerging East London Joint Waste Plan will replace the 2012 East London Joint Waste Plan.
The draft East London Joint Waste Plan will set out the planning strategy for waste management in East London until 2041.
A consultation on the first draft of the East London Joint Waste Plan (known formally as the Regulation 18 draft plan) took place between Monday 29th July 2024 to 11:59pm on Monday 16th September 2024.
A second consultation on the next draft of the East London Joint Waste Plan (known formally as the Regulation 19 draft plan) took place between Monday 19th May 2025 to 11:59pm on Monday 30th June 2025.
The Joint Waste Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State for examination on 30th January 2026. To see the examination documents and find out more about the progress of the examination please visit the dedicated examination website set up by the East London boroughs.
