North London Waste Plan

published on: 27/05/11

Publication of the North London Waste Plan
Councils in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and
Waltham Forest have been developing the North London Waste Plan (NLWP).
When adopted, the Plan will form part of each council's Local Development
Framework.

I am writing to let you know that, following the consultation on the
preferred options for the Plan in October 2009, the seven boroughs have
published the proposed submission version of the Plan. The consultation
period on the document runs from 27th May to 8th July 2011.

The boroughs have considered all the comments from the previous
consultation stages and have used them in preparing the latest version of
the document.  The North London Waste Plan identifies a range of suitable
sites for the management of all North London's waste up to 2027 and sets
out policies and guidelines for determining planning applications for waste
developments.

How to view the plan
The plan and supporting documents are available to view from 27th May at
www.nlwp.net. Reference copies have been placed in the Civic Centre
(Environment Direct) and local libraries. Alternatively, if you would like
a paper copy of the report please contact the Planning Policy Team on 0208
379 3866.

How to comment on the plan
Your comments should be made in writing using the specific 'Proposed
Submission' representation form.  We have produced a guidance note which
explains how to make your comments using the form. You can download forms
and notes from the NLWP website, or they are available from the Civic
Centre or by contacting the Project Manager, Archie Onslow (details below).
Please note, at this stage your comments must relate to the 'soundness'
and/or legal compliance of the documents.

You can send your responses in a number of ways:
On the interactive form via www.nlwp.net/have_your_say/response_form.php or
by email to feedback@nlwp.net or
in writing to Archie Onslow at North London Waste Plan, Camden Town Hall,
   Argyle Street, London WC1H 8EQ

All responses must be returned by 8th July 2011.

More information
For more information visit www.nlwp.net or contact Archie Onslow on
feedback@nlwp.net or 020 7974 5916.

What happens next?
When the consultation closes on 8th July, the boroughs will collate all the
responses received and submit them together with the submission documents
to an independent Planning Inspector. This submission is programmed for
October and will mark the beginning of the examination of the Plan. A
public hearing is expected in early 2012. At the end of the examination the
Inspector writes a report for the boroughs.

The boroughs will keep you informed at these various stages about the
progress of the Plan.

Yours sincerely,

Joanne Woodward
