Minutes:
The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director for Place seeking endorsement of the Essex and Southend-on-Sea Replacement Waste Local Plan Proposed Submission Document (RWLP). The RWLP would replace the existing Essex and Southend Waste Local Plan 2001 and provide planning policies to guide and enable waste and related developments until 2032 within the administrative boundaries of Essex and Southend-on-Sea.
Recommended:-
1. That the RWLP, as set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be published for public consultation under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.
2. That the RWLP be submitted to the Secretary of State, prior to Examination in Public, under Regulation 22 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.
3. That the Corporate Director for Place, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Housing, Planning and Regulatory Services, be authorised to:

(iii) take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory processes and procedures necessary for preparation and participation of the Council at the Examination in Public.
4. That the consultation summary regarding the previous version of the RWLP, as set out in Appendix 2 to the submitted report, be noted.
Reason for Decision
To ensure the expeditious production of the RWLP.
Other Options
An alternative option would be for the Borough Council not to produce a RWLP and rely solely on national planning policy to assess waste management planning applications. However, it is considered that the RWLP, once adopted, will be a significant and up to date planning tool to manage Southend-on-Sea’s built environment.
