Content

A review of the Buckinghamshire
Minerals and Waste Local Plan (MWLP) was required to be undertaken
5 years after its adoption. The review enabled planning authorities
to determine whether policies within the development plan required
updating.
 
The review considered that the
policies within the MWLP were consistent with national policies and
therefore was up to date. The review did highlight areas of policy
that, due to local circumstances, were of concern, but concluded
that with further monitoring, along with the emerging work on the
Local Plan for Buckinghamshire, it might be appropriate to review
these policies again ahead of the next 5-year period to see if the
MWLP required updating.
 
Cabinet was asked to accept the
review recommendations set out in the review document, Appendix
1.
 
RESOLVED that the conclusions of the local plan review of the
Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan, as set out in
Appendix 1, be approved.
