The Waste Local Plan is a statutory plan that addresses the
land-use aspects of waste management. It is prepared by Suffolk
County Council as the Waste Planning Authority and deals with all
waste managed in its area, including waste generated by businesses
and the construction industry as well as waste produced by
households.
The Waste Local Plan will, until it is replaced by the Waste
Development Framework documents, provide a comprehensive
framework for planning for waste management in Suffolk and it will
set out policies and proposals for determining planning
applications for waste development in Suffolk. The plan seeks
to balance the need to establish waste management facilities with
the need to protect the environment.
The Plan was formally adopted on 20 February 2006.

The Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
A joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy for Suffolk has been
adopted by all Suffolk's local authorities. This is concerned only
with municipal waste, mainly waste from households that the local
authorities have a responsibility to manage, but is an important
consideration for the Waste Local Plan. It was formally launched in
Lowestoft on 17 October 2003.

Municipal Waste Management Strategy and background documents.
