HEADED ITEM NO. 11a

HEADED ITEM: A Connected Place - Environmental Services.  Minor Wording Amendments.

HI 11(a) Proposed Amendment PA078 relates to the aim of the Environmental Services section of the draft plan which states:

2.4.1 Aim

To conform to the European Union, National, and Regional policy in all matters relating to the production, handling, treatment and disposal of waste, and the control of air, noise and light pollution within the County.

It is proposed to replace the above statement with the following text:

 ‘To provide a leadership role in relation to the control of air quality, noise and light pollution; and the sustainable management of waste through the Council’s own policy having regard to European, National and Regional policies and implementation of solutions on waste minimisation, re-use and recycling so as to limit the financial and climatic impacts of landfill.’

REPLY:

It is noted that the Regional Waste Management Plan is the statutory statement of Waste Policy for the county. However, the proposed amendment is considered acceptable subject to the substitution of ‘waste disposal’ in lieu of ‘landfill’.

 

Manager’s Recommendation

It is recommended that Proposed Amendment PA078 be revised to replace “landfill” with “waste disposal”.
