HomeThe South London Waste Plan Development Plan Document
The South London Waste Plan sets out the issues and objectives to be met in waste management for the next ten years. It is a joint DPD and covers the geographical area comprising the London Borough of Croydon, the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, the London Borough of Merton and the London Borough of Sutton. It contains policies to guide the determination of planning applications for waste facilities and identifies existing waste sites to be safeguarded and areas where waste facility development may be suitable.
The South London Waste Plan, as amended by the binding Inspector's Report, was adopted by the council on 30 January 2012.
Following adoption, there is a six-week legal challenge period. Since Sutton was the last borough to adopt, on 5 March, the legal challenge period runs from 6 March to 17 April 2012. Details of possible grounds for a legal challenge are given in the Adoption Statement (see below).
The South London Waste Plan is one of four Development Plan Documents within the Croydon Local Development Framework. It is in conformity with the emerging Core Strategy and will complement the Site Allocations DPD and the Development Management Policies DPD.
