This report provides an update on development of the new West London Waste Plan, which will form part of the Local Development Plan and be used for determining planning applications for waste development within Brent and across West London.

The draft Plan has been prepared jointly with the London Boroughs of Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond Upon Thames and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) and includes amendments that have been made in response to comments received through the previous (‘Regulation 18’) consultation.  The Plan must be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination by 31 December 2026 before its formal adoption (subject to successful examination) by each of the planning authorities.  The report therefore presents the draft plan and policies on which approval is being sought to undertake public consultation (‘Regulation 19’) for an eight-week period, commencing in August 2026 prior to a final version being presented to Full Council in November 2026 for approval, subject to the conclusion of the Regulation 19 consultation, in advance of its submission to the Secretary of State for examination.

Members are asked to note that, due to their size, the main appendices to this report have been published as a separate supplementary pack to this agenda.
