Preferred Options consultation document
Representation ID: 94912
Received: 29/10/2019
Respondent: Mr JJ Gallagher
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) clearly states in Chap 17, para 204 b, that Mineral Planning Authorities (MPA) should look conserve minerals and 'take account of...recycled materials...before considering extraction of primary materials. The current proposed Preferred Options M&WLP shows no sign of adhering to this part of the NPPF and therefore the plan must be unsound
I now reference the Waste Management Objectives. Without forging a robust, advanced clear and flat glass recycling facility here in Norfolk NCC will fail to prevent and minimise waste within the county, and fail to support reductions in CO2 emissions that such a facility would bring to the glassmaking industry. To even suggest that Norfolk could be net self-sufficient in waste management is incredible if waste continues to be exported from within Norfolk to outside our boundaries. NCC could get close to net self-sufficiency in glass waste recycling if they had the vision to lead the way, nationally, in advanced glass recycling facilities, facilities that would fulfil WSO8 by generating jobs for Norfolk by the hundreds and potentially thousands.
