Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10619

Received: 22/11/2020

Respondent: Mr Joe Holyoake

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

With the government initiatives towards a Zero Waste economy, I find it difficult to believe that the waste for Solihull is going to increase by 52%. This suggests that any initiatives the government has, will fail, especially in Solihull.

1. Household waste increase by 25% equates to 13,000 new households, WHERE?
2. Commercial & industrial waste increase by 44% and Construction and demolition waste by 59%. WHERE?
I can only surmise that JLR will make up the majority of this increase in waste, and if so, why was the planned expansion agreed upon without a clause to manage waste responsibility.

Change suggested by respondent:

I think the expectations for waste increases in Solihull need to be reassessed in full in line with my comments above and in line with Government initiatives to reduce waste.
The position of the waste site should also be reassessed away from existing houses in the area.
