Joint Merseyside waste development plan

The Joint Waste Development Plan Document (Waste DPD) for Merseyside and Halton will set out a planning strategy for sustainable waste management that extends to 2027.

The six councils of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral are preparing the Joint Waste DPD for the sub-region. The purpose of the Joint Waste DPD is to enable the adequate provision of waste management facilities (including disposal) in appropriate locations for municipal, commercial and industrial, construction, demolition and excavation, and hazardous wastes.
