Common use of AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES Clause in Contracts

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 7.1 The Parties recognise that there will be a degree of cross-boundary movement of waste. In light of this, the Parties will plan on the basis of net self-sufficiency which assumes that within each waste local plan area the planning authority or authorities will plan for the management of an amount of waste which is equivalent to the amount arising in that plan area. All parties accept that when using this principle to test policy, it may not be possible to meet this requirement in full, particularly for hazardous and other specialist waste streams. 7.2 In keeping with the principle of net self-sufficiency for each waste local plan area, the Parties will plan on the basis that no provision has to be made in their waste local plans to meet the needs of any other waste local plan area which are basing their waste policies on achieving the principle of net self-sufficiency. 7.3 There may be cases where some waste will not be planned to be managed within a waste plan area because of difficulty in delivering sufficient recovery or disposal capacity. Provision for unmet requirements from other authority areas may be included in a waste local plan, in line with paragraph 182 of the NPPF, but any provision for facilities to accommodate waste from other authorities that cannot or do not intend to achieve net selfsufficiency will be a matter for discussion and agreement between authorities and is outside the terms of this Memorandum. 7.4 The parties note that there may be some kinds of waste that cannot be managed within their own plan area, either in the short term or within the relevant plan period. These may include hazardous wastes and radioactive wastes. Where provision for the management of these wastes will be planned for in a different waste planning authority area, this will need to be considered between the relevant authorities. 7.5 The Parties will work together in the consideration of how to plan for the implications arising from the management of waste from London and any other authority areas that are not party to this Memorandum. 7.6 The Parties agree that the challenge to be addressed is to implement the waste hierarchy and to enable better, more sustainable, ways of dealing with waste to reduce the current dependence on landfill. 7.7 The Parties agree to continue to positively plan to meet any shortfalls in recovery and disposal capacity in their areas and to enable the delivery of new facilities. This includes making appropriate provision in their local plans, including, as required, the allocation of sites for new recycling and other recovery facilities. 7.8 The Parties recognise that private sector businesses (and, therefore, commercial considerations) will determine whether new merchant waste management recycling and treatment facilities will be built and what types of technology will be used.
