The WIDP Contract (Clause 1.8) contains an express statement that the Authority is acting as a party to the Contract in its statutory capacity as a Waste Disposal Authority. This clause recognises that the Authority may act in other capacities, which are distinct from, and unaffected by, it acting in its capacity as WDA for the purposes of the Contract.
Where the project facilities are located within the Authority's boundaries this distinction is likely to be of most significance to the project in relation to the Authority's separate legal capacity as a Local Planning Authority (LPA). See Section 2.2.3 for further guidance in relation to the management of the interface between the Authority as Waste Disposal Authority and as the LPA.
