We support a call for additional waste sites/quotas as part of employment land allocations, but consider that safeguarding of waste sites solely for waste uses is no longer necessary given that Policy MWS/7 supports the use of other industrial land for waste management facilities and National policy now requires LPAs to consider waste as part of an employment land review. Allocation of sites solely for Waste Management has not delivered facilities at these locations and reviewing policy to allow greater flexibility for the market to deliver waste and employment sites where they are best suited should be considered.

Noted. The LDP includes two sites for waste management: Land at Llanddulas and land at Gofer. The sites are not safeguarded designations, but are allocated for Waste Management and their appropriateness will be considered as part of the Review.

Policy MWS/8 is considered too restrictive. NRW guidance and reasoned justification to Policy MWS/8 implies that for development with 250m of a landfill the EHO and NRW must be consulted. This would imply that individual applications located within the landfill buffer zone will be assessed on their merits based on a risk based assessment.

Noted. Policy MWS/8 has a dual purpose, protecting both the amenity of residents and the operations of the landfill site itself. Llanddulas is one of 3 operational landfill sites within the North Wales region and is therefore strategically important. The appropriateness of the policy wording will be considered as part of the Review.
