Respondent: Mr Adrian Court

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The moving of the Household Waste and Recycling Centre to Damson Parkway is seriously flawed. The detriment to local residents health and well being due to the impact on amenity and health, including visual intrusion, noise and vibration, litter, odour, vermin and bird attraction and increased traffic in the immediate vicinity in addition to the new JLR logistic centre and proposed local housing. Solihull is supposed to be 'Urbs in Rure' and placing this additional facility so close to local housing/conurbation would have huge impact on the immediate local area.

Change suggested by respondent:

I think the council should seriously consider extending the current site as expansion of this site has the least impact on local housing, greenbelt, local transport infrastructure etc. Also if Damson Parkway is going to be considered it would be good to have a plan of the proposed development, size, access etc as currently there is no indication?
