To consider a report of the Executive Councillor (Environment)

The report sets out the background to the development of a joint Development Plan Document (DPD) covering waste (the Waste Plan) by the ten Greater Manchester Authorities. This Plan has undergone a series of consultations to identify locations for future waste management facilities and to develop a suite of waste planning policies.  The Waste Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State on 28th February 2011. The Inspector has now confirmed the soundness of the Submission Plan which can now be adopted by each of the ten Greater Manchester Local Planning Authorities.

The Executive is invited to recommend that the Council Meeting adopt the Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan Document and subsequent changes to the Stockport Local Development Framework Proposal Map from 1 April 2012.
