• The DPD will not generally prescribe the waste management technologies that will be used to deal with specific waste streams in the area. Rather, the type or types of waste management facility that would be appropriately located on the allocated site or in the allocated areas should be identified. The only exception to this is likely to be that of site allocations to support the pattern of waste management facilities set out in the RSS. Additionally, in the case of municipal waste, where the DPD has regard to the MWMS which provides a clear service development strategy requiring sites of a potentially more specific nature, it may be appropriate to identify more specific allocations.
• If the WDA has sites that it would wish to see identified in a waste development document, then it is vital that there is dialogue with the waste planning authority so the details of specific sites can be considered. The potential sites being considered for procurement by the WDA should not contravene the development plan, or, where this is being up-dated to reflect PPS10, the project should align with policies in PPS10. The WDA should, however, be mindful of the practicalities of consulting on its proposed waste development sites prior to purchasing the sites or securing options to purchase, in order not to compromise deliverability of those sites (see Touch Point 2 - "Site selection and acquisition" for further details on this).
