The plan should remove any reference to the Household Waste and Recycling Centre and Depot being moved from its present Bickenhill Site to Damson Parkway, and instead the plan should concentrate on how the Bickenhill site could be improved (better parking, access booking systems etc.).

Paragraph 105 - Reference to moving the Household Waste and Recycling Centre and Depot from its present Bickenhill site to Damson Parkway is not legally compliant, or sound. A move is not justified on environmental grounds, and does not properly take account of the negative climate change / environmental impacts of an unnecessary move (Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, s. 19 (1A), nor the requirement for community involvement given the strong objections from the residents nearest to the proposed Damson Parkway site (s. 19 (3)). No evidence of co-operation with other agencies regarding this site move is provided.
