East London Joint Waste Plan Regulation 19 Consultation

Overview

The London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham, and Redbridge are working collaboratively to produce a new East London Joint Waste Plan (ELJWP). 

It is a statutory requirement to produce an up-to-date waste plan, and the emerging East London Joint Waste Plan will replace the out-of-date 2012 East London Joint Waste Plan.

We previously consulted on a draft ELJWP in Summer 2024. Comments from this consultation have been carefully considered and incorporated into the Proposed Submission ELJWP that we are now consulting on (also called a 'Regulation 19' consultation).

Regulation 19 Consultation

Consultation on the Proposed Submission ELJWP is now live. Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge Councils are inviting residents and stakeholders to comment on the draft plan.

We are seeking comments on whether the ELJWP is ‘sound’ and legally compliant. To be ‘sound’ the Proposed Submission ELJWP must be:

1. Positively prepared: for example that it positively seeks to meet the requirements of the London Plan.
2. Justified: that the policies in the plan are supported by evidence and are reasonably justified.
3. Effective: that the policies in the plan can be delivered and have been formulated on the basis of effective joint working with partners.
4. Consistent with national policy: that it has been prepared in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
