About the North London Waste Plan (NLWP), download the plan and other relevant documents.

The 7 north London boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest have prepared a joint waste plan. We adopted the plan on 18 July 2022.

The waste plan identifies a range of suitable sites for the management of all north London's waste up to 2031, and includes policies and guidelines for determining planning applications for waste developments.

Background

NLWP examination 2020

The NLWP examination hearings took place at The Crowndale Centre, NW1 1BD in November 2019. The boroughs produced a number of main modifications to address the issues raised at the hearings by representors and the Inspector. 

A consultation ran from from Thursday 29 October 2020 to Thursday 10 December 2020 on those modifications.

See the modifications and associated documents on the NLWP website.

Representations on the main modifications were given to the Inspector by the boroughs for him to consider in the final stages of the examination and to inform the recommendations in his final report. The Inspector found the plan sound, subject to those modifications.
