(a)          Decision(s)

That officers be instructed to prepare a formal response after consultation with the Cabinet for Waste and Licensing  be sent to Buckinghamshire along the lines of the dialogue included in the Cabinet report and in particular:-

·         Expressing concern that the constituent authorities making up the Bucks Waste Partnership have not had an opportunity to view the analyses of the research leading up to the County Council’s proposals.

·         Expressing concern that the proposals appear to have no regard for the significant growth of the District which would require the retention of adequate facilities for the disposal of both general and recycling waste.

·         Expressing concern that the strong possibility of the proposals leading to an increase in the incidence of fly tipping which would result in additional removal and disposal costs to waste collection authorities within the County have not been properly factored into the proposals.

(b)          Reason(s) for Decision(s)

Cabinet does not feel that all the impacts of the County Council’s proposals have been satisfactorily addressed.

(c)        Alternative Options Considered

None as such.

(d)       Relevant Scrutiny Committee

Environment and Living.

(e)        Conflicts of Interest / Dispensation(s)

            None.
