Introduction The Waste Core Strategy (“the Strategy”) for Worcestershire is a statutory Development Plan Document (“DPD”) within the meaning of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 as amended (“the Regulations”). Before the Council can adopt the Strategy it has to submit it to the Secretary of State for independent examination. Regulation 30(1)(c) of the Regulations requires the Council to send the Secretary of State a Pre-Submission Consultation Statement (“the Consultation Statement”) setting out: i. Which bodies and persons the local planning authority invited to make representations under regulation 25, ii. How those bodies were invited to make representations under regulation 25, iii. A summary of the main issues raised by the representations made pursuant to regulation 25, and iv. How any representations made pursuant to regulation 25 have been taken into account. (The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No 401) This document comprises the Pre-Submission Consultation Statement for the Waste Core Strategy for Worcestershire. Regulation 25 and government policy and advice generally, prescribe the need for early involvement of certain bodies as well as the local community and businesses in the preparation of DPDs. In accordance with this regulation the Council has involved the public, stakeholders and statutory consultees throughout the development of the Waste Core Strategy. This report details the formal stages of consultation and participation undertaken in accordance with the statutory regulations. However the Council has also been willing to exchange ideas with and incorporate suggestions from all parties throughout the development of the Strategy. The summary will give details relating to both formal and informal stages of consultation, as set out in Figure 1. 4 Figure 1: Report Format Pre-commencement consultation: Section 2 Recommencing the Process - Refreshed Issues and Options:

Introduction Academic scholarship on the value of benefits we receive from nature traces its origin back for several decades. However, ecosystem services - whose term was coined in the late 1960s - have been mainstreamed with the publication of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 20051. In the literature, a general shift is emerging in considering the concept from an original ecological and pedagogical perspective to an inclusion of economic, legal and institutional aspects in its relevance for public policy2. The production of ecosystem services from agricultural land was understood through the concept of multifunctional agriculture3. Within this line, the paradigm of social- ecological systems has been recently placed4. It focuses on the close * PhD Fellow at the Institute of Law, Politics and Development (Dirpolis), Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa. 1 For access the documents, see the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment website at <http://www.millenniumassessment.org/en/Index-2.html> accessed 14 March 2016.

  • Climate Change and Sustainable Consumption: What Do the Public Think Is Fair?
    Climate change and sustainable consumption: What do the public think is fair? Tim Horton, Natan Doron December 2011 This report explores public attitudes to fairness in the context of sustainable consumption and climate change. Evidence from many areas of behaviour suggests that views about fairness can be powerful in driving pro-social behaviours. This research, through a series of focus groups, explored strategies that can tap into people’s sense of fairness around sustainable consumption and climate change to see if this could build public support for behaviour change and sustainability policies. The report: • asks if people can look at climate change and sustainable consumption in terms of fairness; • explores the basis of views about fairness in this context and investigates the types of information required for people to look at the issue in this way; • considers the extent to which looking at climate change in terms of fairness can motivate support for behaviour change; and • examines what people think is fair in actions to reduce household CO2 emissions. www.jrf.org.uk Contents List of fi gures and tables 4 Executive summary 5 Introduction: Fairness and obligation as motivations for pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour 9 1 Climate change as a co-operation dilemma 13 2 The focus groups 29 3 Attitudes to climate change and carbon emissions 35 4 Attitudes to fairness in reducing household emissions 45 5 Participants’ changing attitudes in response to the focus groups 63 Conclusion: Lessons for policy-makers and advocates 67 Notes
