North London Waste Plan cock-up on advertising

North London Waste Plan – consultation dates have been revised

"I recently wrote to you about a consultation running on the proposed submission version of the North London Waste Plan. Due to circumstances beyond our control, one of the advertisements in the local press about the North London Waste Plan was not published at the correct time.

As a result, the six week period for representations now runs from 27 May to 8 July.

However, all representations that have been submitted since the original start date of 11 May will be accepted, along with all those received up to 8 July.

For your convenience, I include the information about the consultation contained in my previous letter/email to you, with amended dates, in its entirety, below.

Publication of the 
North London Waste Plan

Councils in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest have been developing the North London Waste Plan. When adopted, the Plan will form part of each council’s Local Development Framework.

I am writing to let you know that, following the consultation on the preferred options for the Plan in October 2009, the seven boroughs have published the proposed submission version of the Plan. The consultation period on the document runs from 27 May to 8 July 2011.

The boroughs have considered the all the comments from the previous consultation stages and have used them in preparing the latest version of the document. The North London Waste Plan identifies a range of suitable sites for the management of all north London’s waste up to 2027 and sets out policies and guidelines for determining planning applications for waste developments.

How to view the plan

The plan is available to view from 27th May at www.nlwp.net, and during opening hours in the councils’ planning offices and at any one of the councils’ libraries. At the same locations you will also be able to see related reports on previous consultation, habitats, equalities and sustainability and the technical evidence behind the plan.

How to comment on the plan

Your comments should be made in writing using the specific proposed submission representation form. We have produced a guidance note which explains how to make your comments using the form. You can download forms and notes from the website, or they are available from council planning offices or by contacting Archie Onslow (details below). Please note, at this stage your comments must relate to the ‘soundness’ and/or legal compliance of the documents.

You can send your responses in a number of ways:

• On the interactive form www.nlwp.net/have_your_say/response_form.php or
• by email to feedback@nlwp.net or
• in writing to Archie Onslow at North London Waste Plan, Camden Town Hall, Argyle Street, London WC1H 8EQ

All responses must be returned by 8 July 2011.

What happens next?

When the consultation closes on 8 July, the boroughs will collate all the responses received and submit them, together with the submission documents, to an independent Planning Inspector. This submission is programmed for October, and will mark the beginning of the examination of the Plan. A public hearing is expected in early 2012. At the end of the examination, the Inspector writes a report for the boroughs.

The boroughs will keep you informed at these various stages about the progress of the Plan.

Yours sincerely,

Archie Onslow
