Waste Planning Policy
The new national planning system requires the
replacement of the existing
Waste Local Plan with a Minerals and Waste Development
Framework (M&WDF). This process has commenced in Suffolk and
will include a set of
Waste Development Plan Documents to
guide waste planning in the county for the next 15
years.
