The following two broad principles for the viewing and use of the Areas of Search maps must be noted:

1) The sole purpose of the Areas of Search maps is to identify Areas of Search at a strategic level for use by Local Planning Authorities during the Local Development Plan preparation process – as a starting point for more detailed local level assessments to identify appropriate sites for waste management facilities in Local Development Plans.
2) Because the sole purpose of the Areas of Search maps is to identify Areas of Search at the strategic level, the Areas of Search maps must not be used by any organization or individual to determine the appropriateness of proposals for individual waste management facilities. The Areas of Search maps must not be used by Local Planning Authorities as a development control tool.

More detailed principles for the viewing and use of the Areas of Search maps can be found in Section 12.3 of the Consultation Draft Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document
