Introduction

The Wiltshire and Swindon Waste Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) ("the Waste Sites DPD") was submitted to the Secretary of State on 14 February 2012 for the purpose of initiating the independent examination process.

The Waste Sites DPD presents a framework of 35 strategic and local scale sites offering a range of potential waste uses to flexibly meet the ever changing demands for waste management facilities across Wiltshire and Swindon up to 2026.

The Waste Sites DPD is the final document in the current waste planning policy framework for Wiltshire and Swindon. The document takes its lead from the adopted Wiltshire and Swindon Waste Core Strategy (July 2009) and Waste Development Control Policies (September 2009) and builds upon appraisals and evidence gathered since 2005.

Action	Timescale

Next steps

The examination period is expected to last 6-9 months and will conclude with publication of the Report of the Government’s Inspector, and further changes to the Waste Sites DPD may be required. If the document is found to be ‘sound’ by the Inspector, the Waste Sites DPD will then be adopted by both Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council subject to changes requested by the Inspector's Report.
