EXAMINATION

The North London Waste Plan (NLWP) has been examined by an independent Planning Inspector, Mr Stephen Normington BSc DipTP MRICS MRTPI FIQ FIHE, whose role is to assess whether the plan complies with the legal requirements and is sound.  The Inspector took into account any representations made in response to the NLWP consultations.

The Inspector issued his final Report in October 2021 which concludes that the Duty to Cooperate has been met and that, with the recommended main modifications set out in the Schedule of Main Modifications, the North London Waste Plan satisfies the requirements referred to in Section 20(5)(a) of the 2004 Act and is sound.

The North London Boroughs would like to thank everyone who participated in the North London Waste Plan examination process.

All Examination documents are provided below alongside a full list of Core Documents with links.
