Sefton Local Plan - Scoping Consultation 2026
Minerals, Waste, and Resource Management
What the Plan Must Do
- Ensure a steady and adequate supply of construction materials.
- Plan for waste facilities in line with national and regional strategies.
- Encourage sustainable use of resources.
Issues to Consider
- The need for and location of any new waste facilities.
- Safeguarding of mineral resources.
- Reducing construction waste and promoting recycling.
- Whether minerals and waste matters should be included in the Local Plan or as often is the case, in a separate document at the Merseyside level.
Tell us ...
- Are there particular issues with waste or recycling infrastructure?
- Are there any new types of waste infrastructure needed?
- How should Sefton plan for long‑term resource use?
- Should a separate Waste Plan be prepared rather than as part of the Local Plan?
