Background documents and supporting material

The Waste Core Strategy will set out the ground rules for waste management facilities in the County until 2027. To make sure it is based on the best possible understanding of waste management issues in Worcestershire we have developed a set of background documents and considered existing evidence, policies and strategies.

  Background documents have been developed and consulted on alongside the development of the Waste Core Strategy and have informed its development.
