The aims and objectives identify that the population and housing growth in Rother also needs to be carefully managed alongside the impact on the environment. The increasing population will place increased requirement on the management of waste. Waste management forms part of the MWDF prepared by the County Council and the importance of linkage between the LDF and the MWDF is already recognized in paragraph 4.29. The development of an integrated waste management facility in the Ibstock quarry may be an importance component in the overall planned growth in Rother and specifically Bexhill.

As part of integrated waste management the production of energy through the conversion of landfill gas to electricity could form an important non fossil energy source.
