Barnsley, Doncaster & Rotherham Joint Waste Plan

The Joint Waste Plan sets out our planning strategy for dealing with waste, including the provision of new waste facilities, up until 2026.

The Joint Waste Plan

The Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham Joint Waste Plan identifies sites to accommodate major waste facilities and safeguards a range of existing facilities to meet our current and future needs across the three boroughs that will maximise recycling, support green jobs and divert waste from landfill.

The Joint Waste Plan forms part of Doncaster's Development Plan alongside the Local Plan.

South Yorkshire Waste Needs Assessment

The South Yorkshire Waste Planning Authorities of Barnsley Council, Doncaster Council, Rotherham Council and Sheffield City Council have produced a joint Waste Needs Assessment that covers the whole of South Yorkshire. The Waste Needs Assessment contains updated information to be considered alongside the Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham (BDR) Waste Plan. It provides updated information on waste management facilities, waste arising estimates, forecasts future need for the various waste types up to 2041 and requires consideration alongside the BDR Waste Plan.
