Waste Management Plans should be reviewed at least once every six years, as should the Northern Ireland Waste Strategy.
Notwithstanding the above, arc21 also conducted an expansive pre-planning public consultation in 2013 on proposals to develop Hightown Quarry into a suite of facilities to treat residual waste on the one site. This consultation entailed a number of public drop in sessions at different locations, the distribution of 28,000 project leaflets to the nearby community, the production of a response pro-formas, a number of meetings with interested groups/organisations, the development of an animated explanatory video as well as establishing a project website.
