Joint Waste DPD
Joint Merseyside and Halton Waste Development Plan
Document
The Joint Waste Development Plan Document
(Waste DPD) for Merseyside and Halton will set out a planning
strategy for sustainable waste management that extends to 2027.
The six councils of Halton, Knowsley,
Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral are preparing the Joint
Waste DPD for the sub-region. 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, demolition and excavation,
and hazardous wastes.
Proposed Submission Consultation
The most recent stage of preparation of the Waste DPD was
to publish the Proposed Submission Waste DPD and consult on its
soundness and legal compliance. This final consultation stage known
as “Representations on Soundness” took place
from 25 November 2011 for eight weeks.
The consultation closed at 5pm on Friday 20th January
2012. The Waste DPD team have
now processed all comments received for submission to the
Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) for formal
consideration and scrutiny.
Submission and Examination
The Joint Merseyside and Halton Waste
Development Plan Document was submitted to the Secretary of State
at DCLG (Department of Communities and Local Government) on
17 February 2012 for formal consideration and scrutiny. The

Alternatively, the Submission documents
will also be made available at Council Libraries and One Stop Shops
