West London - Proposed West London Waste Plan Public Consultation

NOTICE OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE PROPOSED

SUBMISSION VERSION OF THE WEST LONDON WASTE PLAN

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Regulations 19 and 20 of The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended)

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Proposed Submission version of the West London Waste Plan has been published in line with Regulation 19, with representations being welcomed for a period of eight weeks from Tuesday 4th August to Monday 28th September 2026 (11:59pm) in line with Regulation 20.

The London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond upon Thames (the west London boroughs) and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) have prepared the Proposed Submission West London Waste Plan (WLWP) for public consultation. Ealing Council is hosting the consultation on their online portal, on behalf of the authorities involved – further details are provided below. The Proposed Submission WLWP covers the west London boroughs and those parts of Brent and Ealing that are within the OPDC area. It sets out the proposed planning strategy for waste management in the WLWP plan area up to 2041 and includes policies proposed to be used when assessing planning applications that relate to waste management. It also identifies sites proposed to be safeguarded for waste use.

As this is the final representations stage before the documents are submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination, the west London boroughs and OPDC invite representations on whether the Proposed Submission WLWP is ‘sound’ and ‘legally compliant’, including whether it is in general conformity with the London Plan. Representations must be made no later than Monday 28th September 2026 (11:59pm).
