Support references to waste management but should include reference to Minerals and Waste Development Framework

References to waste management are welcomed, particularly Sustainable Waste in the Guiding Principles and waste section withinInfrastructure Delivery Plan. SPD should make reference to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Development Framework (MWDF) as part of Development Plan, must be considered in planning application(s). Reference should be made to Policy CS28 Waste Minimisation, Re-use, and Resource Recovery and adopted RECAP Waste Management Design Guide SPD.

Consideration of a connection between potential energy from waste at Waterbeach Waste Management Facility and a heat network is welcomed.

Submitted planning applications suggest that energy facilities may be developed. Any energy facility reliant on waste as a feedstock would require planning permission from County Council as Waste Planning Authority.
