Newsflash from the Pinkham Way Alliance about the North London Waste Plan hearing which began this week:

After 90 minutes of the opening session for the North London Waste Plan (NLWP) hearing, the inspector suspended proceedings until further notice.

So If you were planning to attend any of the sessions this fortnight (particularly those next week on 19th and 20th of June) please do not turn up – the hearing is not happening yet.

Briefly put, the problem involves a possible failure of the seven north London councils involved in the NLWP to co-operate with their neighbouring planning authorities to the north and east of London as they are legally required to do.

The inspector will now receive further submissions on this, and decide what happens next. We will, of course, keep you updated.

In the meantime, the NLWP hearing is suspended until further notice – please do not try to attend!
