What is the Local Waste Plan?

The Local Waste Plan will provide waste planning policies for Hull and the East Riding. It will replace the existing Joint Waste Local Plant that was adopted in November 2004.

The Government issued a Direction which lists those policies from the adopted Local Plans that are ‘saved’ beyond 27 September 2007. Any policies not listed in the Direction (the letter below) have now expired.

The new Local Waste Plan will:

  • allocate specific sites for waste management use;
  • provide policies against which waste management proposals on non-allocated sites will be judged;
  • set out the context for requiring a site waste management plan in new developments;
  • protect sensitive environments from harmful waste management development.

What is the timescale for completing the Local Waste Plan?

The East Riding Local Development Scheme (2025 Update) sets out the following timescales for the Plan's preparation:

  • Issues and Options - March 2026
  • Regulation 18/Draft Plan - May 2027
  • Regulation 19/Publication Plan - December 2027
  • Submission of Plan to Secretary of State - April 2028
  • Examination of Plan - May - September 2028
  • Adoption expected - December 2028.

What is the latest stage in preparing the Local Waste Plan?

Work on developing the evidence base to inform an issues and options document is currently underway.

Can I view previous consultations for the Local Waste Plan?

A Joint Waste Local Plan Issues and Options Document was consulted on in 2012.

The East Riding Local Development Scheme (2025 Update) confirms a further Issues and Options consultation will take place next year.

This is necessary to reflect changes to national waste policy and take into consideration planned housing growth across the area.
