Pre-publication Consultation
Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham councils are working together to prepare the Joint Waste Plan. The Joint Waste Plan will set out our planning strategy for dealing with all types of waste, including the provision of new waste facilities, up until 2026.
The Joint Waste Plan will provide the framework to guide and assess new waste proposals and will allocate suitable sites to manage different types of waste. Once adopted it will form part of each borough’s new development plan - the Local Development Framework.
A draft of the plan has been prepared for consultation. The consultation will run from Monday 28th June to Monday 9th August 2010.
Your views and comments are very important to us. If you wish to make comments, we would advise you to use a response form, which can be downloaded below. Please return this form to: Development Control, PO Box 652, Rotherham, S60 9DE, or via email to: LDF@Doncaster.gov.uk before 5pm on 9th August 2010. These comments will inform the next stages of its preparation (see below).
