14 Waste Management

Introduction

14.1 The 1997 Adopted UDP was prepared during a period of major change for the waste disposal industry which resulted in an increasing emphasis on the market led approach to waste disposal, an increased awareness of the need to reduce the amount of waste generated, to increase recycling and to protect the environment. The main aim of the 1997 Adopted UDP was to provide a framework for decision making for reducing, recovering and disposing of waste in the District, with landfill being the main means of waste disposal. Recent European Union Directives on waste have now been transposed into national legislation and national/regional guidance that set out a new framework for waste management as described in paragraphs 14.2 to 14.14. As a result of these changes this Section on waste management in the Replacement UDP has been written to reflect the new waste management framework.
