Purpose

This Knowledge Builder examines how key aspects of government policy toward waste management are changing through The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The Government intends to replace a system that is considered over-complex, often inconsistent with national and regional policies, over-long, too inflexible, slow and expensive to prepare and time consuming and costly to review.

Benefits

The significance of government waste policy for planning arises from the all-embracing requirement for land use plans and decisions on planning applications to be in accordance with government policy.
