2 August 2016
The Inspector has now carried out his initial examination of the submitted Waste Management DPD, including consideration of the representations made. He has now published the Schedule of Matters, Issues & Questions for Examination (MIQs) in order to seek further information about the legal compliance and soundness of the Plan.
He has invited the Council to submit responses to the MIQs, in statements no longer than 3000 words/Matter. Other representors may submit further statements, if necessary, responding to specific matters and issues relevant to their original representation, with a similar limit of 3000 words/Matter, with no supplementary appendices or additional material.
Any further statements must be submitted to reach the Programme Officer by 4pm on Friday 16 September 2016. Four hard copies and an electronic copy of all statements must be provided.
Please note that the Examination process does not provide the opportunity to make further submissions or raise new issues and evidence not related to an individual or organisation's original representation to the Waste Management DPD. At this stage, and since no representor has sought an oral hearing, the Inspector is not considering holding any hearing sessions to discuss issues relating to the soundness of the Plan. However, he will review the position when he has received any further responses from the Council and representors to the MIQs.
Since the publication of the submitted Waste Management DPD, the Council has added some additional documents to the Examination library, including a list of proposed modifications, which are available by clicking on the appropriate link on this web page.
