Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92030

Received: 09/08/2018

Respondent: Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Representation Summary:

* From Policy WP2 it would seem possible to locate waste management facilities away from the broad location that generated the waste. Thus necessitating potentially significant transport movements, and possibly generating resentment from recipient communities.
* Whilst not necessarily inappropriate for all types of waste where specialist facilities are needed, extremely careful thought should be given to general waste or significant quantities requiring movement.
* A better approach would seem to be one where the policy encouraged waste to be dealt with as near to the generating source as possible.
