Current guidance to planning authorities on the siting of incinerators is contained in National Planning Policy Guideline (NPPG) 10: Planning and Waste Management. A copy of NPPG 10 is available in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 1084).We will shortly be publishing further advice to planning authorities in Planning Advice Note 63: Waste Management Planning.
