Relocate Bickenhill Waste Facility to another location - contrary to P15
Relocate Bickenhill Waste Facility to another location. The Damsonwood Location is not suitable for this facility.
I disagree with this policy as the land on Damsonwood have had trees taken down from this location, when it clearly states under this policy that existing trees will not be damaged or loss. This has already taken place on Damson Parkway next to the new JLR building. This policy also states about restoring biodiversity for the natural environment. This would not need to be resolved if the land in Damsonwood that was Green Belt had not been destroyed. By the relocation of Bickenhill Waste facility to Damsonwood this is not going to help with either planting trees as there will be no land to do this. It will not benefit people and the wildlife by using all this open space for both JLR and Bickenhill Waste unit. This will also have a negative impact on carbon management as there will be a considerable increase in traffic to JLR and Bickenhill Waste Facility.
