Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 10797
Received: 12/12/2020
Respondent: Mr John Outhwaite
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
The "requirement" for relocated Depot and waste/recycling facility isn't justified, there is a need for improved waste/recycling facilities only. Joining these two together is a tactic to develop a requirement for a relocated waste/recycling facility rather than improve existing facilities. The hidden purpose of this is to t enable a re-location of Depot in order to release/sell Moat Lane site for housing. Relocation of the waste/recycling site to Damson Parkway hasn't been published before, it hasn't been consulted upon. No Information about options considered/alternative sites haven't been provided. Thus the plan is not sound and is not legally compliant
References to the relocation of the waste/recycling facility to Damson Parkway should be removed.
