On the 25 July 2011 we submitted the Natural Resources and Waste Development Plan Document (NRWDPD) to the Secretary of State.
The Natural Resources and Waste Development Plan is part of the Local Development Framework. The plan:
- sets out where land is needed to enable us to manage resources - like minerals, energy, waste and water - over the next 15 years;
- identifies specific actions which will help us use our natural resources in a more efficient way.
The Secretary of State has appointed an independent Inspector, Mr Melvyn Middleton, to examine the NRWDPD for soundness under section 20 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
The Examination commenced on Tuesday 15th November 2011 at the Leeds Town Hall and ran for 3 days. A round up session took place on Wednesday 7 December.

New 25 April - Consultation on the National Planning Policy Framework
The Government has recently published the National Planning Policy Framework ('the Framework') and Planning Policy for Traveller Sites. Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for Sustainable Waste Management and its Companion Guide underpin a large part of the Waste Strategy and have not been superseded by this new policy document. Nevertheless, you may consider that aspects of the plan that rely on other national policy statements, which have been revoked as a consequence of the publication of the framework, may need to be revisited.
If you wish to make representations on the matters raised in the Framework document and Planning Policy for Traveller sites as far as they relate to the Leeds Natural Resources and Waste Development Plan Document examination, please respond to the Programme Officer by 8 June 2012.
The following documents are available to view from the links on the right hand side. Additionally a comprehensive list of all documents submitted is available from the Natural resources and waste DPD examination page.
