The Waste DPD is a planning document concerned with the scale, location and type of facilties required to manage all types of waste, not just household waste, in Merseyside and Halton.
It will guide future development of waste management and treatment facilities across the sub region until 2026, by identifying the most suitable sites across the Merseyside sub-region and allocate these sites for waste management uses.
In this way the Local Planning Authorities will be able to direct the waste industry to the most suitable locations and importantly, help resist planning applications for waste facilities in the wrong locations.
Alongside site allocations the Waste DPD will provide a policy framework to help deliver a more sustainable future for Merseyside and Halton's waste management needs.
