You won’t be 'wasting’ your time
Warwickshire’s residents will not be 'wasting’ their time if they get out and start expressing their views on the future planning policy on waste issues at a special forum this month.
Warwickshire County Council is holding a Waste Development Forum as part of its extensive consultation activities. It is seeking to widen participation and community involvement in the Waste Development Framework that will become the policy guide to dealing with planning applications for waste treatment sites countywide.
The forum will include representatives from industry, the voluntary sector, advisory bodies, policy makers and the community.
Cllr Chris Saint, the county Cabinet member with responsibility for planning policy, said: “Forum members are being asked to understand, discuss and challenge the ‘Waste Core Strategy: Issues and Options Paper’; in the interest of ensuring that Warwickshire is addressing the right issues in the preparation of the Waste Development Framework.”
Members of the public are invited to attend a one-day Waste Development Framework Public Consultation Workshop on Saturday the 18th March.
In preparation for the meeting, Warwickshire’s ‘Waste Core Strategy: Issues and Options Paper’ may be viewed online. Please visit: http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wastecorestrategy for details.
Anyone with views on how planning can deliver sustainable waste development can express an interest in attending the Workshop by telephoning Suzanne Osborn, Senior Planning Officer, on (01926) 412538 or email: planningstrategy@warwickshire.gov.uk by the 10th March 2006.
