Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

- The proposal to move the HWRC to Damson Parkway has not been made public prior to this draft of local plan publication. Local Councillors were not notified or consulted, and neither was the public.
- Environmental Impact and Traffic Assessments have not been shared. I understand they have not been undertaken.
- This development would be close to housing and the Traveller Site. This is already an area of pollution concern and the new JLR development will add to traffic pollution. The HWRC will add more, contrary to national policy.
- Supporting evidence published after consultation started.

Change suggested by respondent:

All references to Damson Parkway need to be removed. No consultation has been undertaken with Councillors or the public and so it is inappropriate to include. Over 1,200 residents have signed a petition in objection. No assessments undertaken or shared. Residents have found it difficult to respond to the consultation and some have been excluded due to not having digital access.
