Since 2010 we have been preparing the Devon Waste Plan. The role of the Devon Waste Plan is to establish the overarching principles and policy direction for waste planning in Devon, it also identifies strategic sites for energy recovery across the County and a series of planning policies for making decisions on planning applications. The Plan covers the period to 2031.
The Devon Waste Plan was adopted in December 2014 and can be found here along with the associated documents:
