Barnsley, Doncaster & Rotherham
Joint Strategic Waste Development Plan Document
Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham Councils are working together to produce a joint plan for strategic waste sites. We are currently considering the results of the
Issues & Options Consultation we carried out earlier this year, before undertaking a further round of more detailed consultation, later in the year.
Consultation Report
We now have the results of the consultation, summarised in a ‘Consultation Report’ which also highlights some of the emerging key issues. Details on how to view this are given below. We would particularly draw your attention to Section 8 of the summary, which deals with the opportunity to widen the scope of the Development Plan Document (or DPD) as the plan is called, so as to cover the whole range of waste sites and related policies; and Section 10, which explains how the feedback will be used.

An important part of the DPD process is the use of Sustainability Appraisal, which is used to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of emerging policy in relation to economic, social and environmental issues. An Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report is now also available.
