Waste Development Framework
CC roles and responsibilities for waste What the WDF is (and isn't) How waste procurement fits in a
parallel universe And (very briefly) what waste
procurement isn't
County Council roles and responsibilities.
Waste Planning Authority Land use/spatial planning policy framework -
Preparation of Waste Development Framework Deciding planning applications for waste
management/disposal facilities Monitoring and enforcement of waste related
development
Reports via Environment and Planning Panel
County Council roles and responsibilities.
Waste Disposal Authority Disposal of collected household waste (and some
collected trade waste – collectively municipal waste) Disposal of street sweepings, and litter Provision of Household Waste Recycling Centres Procurement of municipal waste treatment capacity WasteAware and Hertfordshire Waste Partnership
programmes
Reports via Waste Management Panel
Joint County/District Council roles and responsibilities
Hertfordshire Waste Partnership Preparation of the Joint Municipal Waste
Management Strategy. Working jointly on contracts for recycled
materials. Ensuring best practice.
Waste Development Framework
Statutory Plan – requirement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
Consistent with RSS and national policy Core Strategy Development Policies Site Allocations
Production stages Issues and Options – The council sets out the issues relating to waste planning for the
county and proposes options for dealing with them (Nov 2009)
Submission – The council submits the waste development framework to the Secretary of State (Summer/Autumn 2010)
Examination – The planning inspectorate conduct an examination into the
‘soundness’ of the plan, including public hearings (Spring 2011)
Adoption – if found ‘sound’ the council adopt the plan as county policy (October
2011)
Waste StreamsSource: Defra, Waste Strategy for England 2007, Cm 7086, May 2007, p 24
Annual Arisings in England by Sector
Agriculture <1%
Mining and Quarrying30%
Sewage sludge <1%
Dredged material 5%
Household 9%
Commercial 11%
Industrial 13%
Demolition andConstruction 32%
Waste Core Strategy (1)
All waste streams Identifies existing waste arisings Identifies projected growth in waste
arisings Identifies targets for municipal/C&I/ C&D Identifies capacity gaps – number of
facilities required
Waste Core Strategy (2)
All waste streamsIdentifies the issues for Hertfordshire Spatial strategy – reflects existing and
proposed growth – KCDCs Flexible approach – range of facilities and
mix of sites (size and location) No preferred treatment type but promotes
the waste hierarchy
Municipal Waste Strategy based on 3 broad locations for
treatment (other than recycling or composting), reflecting drive times and complementing Waterdale
Could be 1 or more treatment facilities supported by transfer facilities; or 3 smaller treatment facilities
No preferred treatment but needs to minimise disposal to landfill
2 broad locations for additional composting capacity
What the Waste Development Framework is not
Promoting a specific treatment Promoting a specific site
Procurement - Process Business case for funding credits
Demonstrate effective treatment to meet requirements and potentially acceptable site – reference case (PFI approved April 2009)
Invite bids Outline solutions – from July 2009 Detailed solutions (based on outline solutions but site
can be varied at any time) – from November 2009 Final tenders - from November 2010 Preferred bidder – appoint June 2011 Contract Close – October 2011
Waste Planning/Procurement
WDF must inform and be informed by Municipal Waste Management Strategy
But the tail doesn’t wag the dog!
