Respondent: Mrs Sarah Russell
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
The proposed relocation of the tip is not legally compliant because the local community have been kept largely in the dark until very recently and have had nowhere near enough time to digest the enormity of the proposal.
Insufficient evidence has been provided regarding the necessity to move the tip against improving the current facility which should surely be the more sensible solution. A full traffic assesment which should take into account the JLR traffic has not been provided and there has been no co-operation with other local authorities to examine alternative solutions.
Because of the lack of information provided and the failure to consult the local community and trying to approve this behind residents backs, the plan should justify the need for an improved tip and then provide the reasons why this is the preferred site. We still need to be exactly clear on where the site is including, entrance, exit and queuing points. We need to fully understand any alternative site identified and why this was rejected as the preferred site. And we need to fully understand why the existing site can not be improved/expanded. The plan should provide clear and concise information and provide unbiased reasoning behind there findings.
