asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many waste planning applications have been determined in each London borough for each of the past five years. [HL4164]
Statistics compiled by Communities and Local Government from information supplied by boroughs show that there have been eight applications determined for waste facilities in the past five years. However, these appear to under-report the situation on the ground, as we are aware of at least three major facilities that have been approved during this time in Havering, Newham and Sutton.
