Role and status of the Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham Joint Waste Plan
The Joint Waste Plan sets out the overall approach to managing waste across Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham over the next 15 years. Specifically, it indicates:
- what waste facilities are required;
- where they will be located (including sites and the broad pattern of waste facilities);
- when they will be provided; and
- how they will be delivered and monitored.
The Joint Waste Plan has core strategy status and forms part of each borough's development plan - the Local Development Framework.
The Joint Waste Plan is the starting point for assessing planning applications for waste management proposals.
