Waste Core Strategy / Devon Waste Plan
Since 2010 the County Council has been preparing a Waste Core Strategy. Following changes to planning legislation the content of the Waste Core Strategy has been widened and it is now being referred to as the Devon Waste Plan. Once adopted, the Devon Waste Plan will replace the current Waste Local Plan. It will be the role of the Devon Waste Plan to establish the overarching principles and policy direction for waste planning in Devon while it will also identify potential strategic sites for waste management activities across the County and a series of planning policies for making decisions on planning applications. Once adopted, the Plan will cover the period up to 2031.

An Issues and Options Consultation was held between April and July 2011. This consultation asked a series of questions related to the main issues which the Waste Core Strategy (as it was then referred to) should consider. It also set out some broad options to guide the location of future waste facilities, asking which option people thought was the most appropriate.
