The Regional
Waste Plan provides a long-term strategic waste management strategy and
land-use planning framework for the sustainable management of wastes and
recovery of resources in South East Wales.
The Welsh Assembly Government has given the responsibility of preparing,
monitoring and reviewing the plan to the South East Wales Regional Waste
Group. This group is led by a Steering Group of councillors from the 11
local planning authorities in the region with a Technical Group of officers
from local government, the Welsh Assembly Government, Environment Agency
Wales and other government bodies, and representatives from the waste industry
and environmental groups.
The first Regional Waste
Plan was agreed by the Members Steering Group, endorsed by all of the
local authorities in the region and published in March 2004.
The Regional Waste Plan 1st Review process
commenced in April 2005. An extensive public
and stakeholder consultation on the Consultation
Draft Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document is taking place for 10
weeks between 15 October 2007 and 24 December 2007. The final Regional Waste
Plan 1st Review document will be published in 2008 after taking into account
the feedback received during the consultation period.

Waste Group, the first Regional Waste Plan, and the Regional Waste Plan
1st Review.
