Development Plan Documents (DPD's)

Background

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and Essex County Council are working together to develop a clear strategy to plan and manage waste until 2031.

This strategy will be contained in the Waste Development Document (WDD), which will be adopted by both councils following a period of consultation. The public and stakeholders will be consulted to decide:

• What strategies should be developed
• How strategies should be implemented
• Where major waste sites should be located

The responses we receive will be used to determine future policy. Once consultation has taken place and decisions have been made, the completed WDD will be adopted and will become part of the Mineral and Waste Development Framework.

The Issues and Options Paper Consultation

This consultation was the first of several relating to the WDD, and closed on 2 December 2010. Further information about that Consultation, including all associated documents, can be found in the related downloads section on the right-hand side of this page or by visiting www.essex.gov.uk/wdd.
