Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director – Environment which advised Members that the Council was involved in producing a Joint Waste Development Plan (DPD) for the Merseyside sub-region.  Production had now reached the stage where the sites and strategy underpinning the policies contained in the Waste DPD would be subject to public scrutiny.  The Spatial Strategy and government policy (PPS10) required that waste must be dealt with in a sustainable way.

 

The Board was advised that during the period of 17 November 2008 to

9 January 2009, now extended to 16 January 2009, the Spatial Strategy and Sites (SSS) Report had been placed on public consultation.  As a consultee, the Council had prepared a formal response to the consultation.

 

RESOLVED: That the content of the report as the formal response of Halton Borough Council to the public consultation on the Halton Council, Liverpool City Council, Knowsley Council, Sefton Council. St Helens Council and Wirral Council Joint Waste Development Plan Document Spatial Strategy and Sites Report be approved.
