Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 20037

Received: 29/01/2009

Respondent: Rother Environmental Group

Representation Summary:

There is no mention of waste minimisation anywhere in the document, yet this is a fundamental requirement for any environmentally sustainable future.

The LDF should make provision for a Household Waste and Recycling site.

There should be reasonable support and encouragement for the development of community composting, communal anaerobic digestion facilities, materials reclaimation facilities and other facilities or activities that may assist in the reduction, re-use and recycling of waste/resources.

The LDF too readily makes use of the words 'environment' and 'sustainable' and these important concepts will get diluted and confused by overuse.

Option 2 under paragraph 12.33 is preferred.
